Went to N C mountains last week. Hardly a service station around, let alone a charging station!!

Currently, Ford only has 3 EV products, Mach-e, F150 Lightning, and the E-Transit Van. Electrified F250 and F350 are probably not feasible with current battery technology. There are hybrid Mavericks, Escapes, Explorers, and Bronco Sport hybrids not in the too far future. There are no Bronco...

The 1.5 Dragon Ecoboost 3 cylinder in the Escape and Bronco Sport has both port and direct injection. And, Ford added Port Injection (with Direct) to the 2.7 and 3.5 V6 engines. I know it will come down to cost, so not sure if Ford will add Port injection to the 2.3, but that sounds like the...

Mustang is Ford's most important brand along with F150. It will not go away. Back in 2009, when GM and Chrysler were on verge of bankruptcy and were asking Government for taxpayer bailout, Ford alone did not ask for bailout. That was because several years prior to 2009 they had borrowed money...

Great Britian plan to eliminate private ownership of cars? That's not good. Will car prices increase to a point where only elites will be able to afford? UK Inches Closer To Eliminating Private Car Ownership (yahoo.com)

The Mach-e is a great looking vehicle, but its biggest distraction is the huge infotainment screen or should I say that huge infotainment screen that looks like it's just hanging onto the dash. At least reduce it to laptop size, integrate it into the dash, and orient it horizontally instead of...

People who live in apartments, charging at home isn't an option currently. So, a charging station infrastructure will be very important. Also, many BEV owners also have an ICE vehicle used for long trips.

I like Farley as a CEO. He understands where the auto industry is going, but also understands consumers. He has also said that the affordability of electric vehicles is what keeps him awake at night.

So, no Mustang Ecoboost in Germany (and Europe)?

Battery technology will evolve greatly in 10-15 years. It's just that BEVs in their current form are not ready yet due to the problems I noted. No doubt in 10-15 years, battery technology will resolve the issues I mentioned. We'll have to wait and see. Also, cost to manufacture BEVs will be...

BEVs have some major hurdles to overcome before they are ready for the mass consumer. Currently BEV buyers are ones who like new technology and like being the "first" to own. Short range, long charging times, lack of infrastructure, relatively short battery pack life, reduced range during...

I know this is an old question, but can't find a final answer. Do newer 2.3 Ecoboost engines still have issue with carbon build-up? There had been reports that earlier ecoboost engines had this problem, but was thinking Ford had resolved?

Curious how you order 2022 Mustang? Build / Price on Ford's website is still not updated. I'd like to see how much prices have changed.

I may have missed, but any changes to Ecoboost hp / torque? Also, I believe last order date for 2021 was Oct 2. Any idea, when Ford's Build/Price will be updated for 2022 model (still shows 2021)?

Paddle shifters are no longer available on Ecoboost base and premium models except for package 201A and the Ecoboost High Performance package.

Have one more question about 2020 Mustang Ecoboost with Shark style antenna. I want to replace the OEM radio with one that includes Navigation and Sirius radio. Does the Shark antenna include a wire for Sirius and one for Navigation or will I need purchase separately?

Ford Co-Pilot 360 was added to all Mustang trim levels for 2021. Has anyone heard if Sync 3 will be standard in all 2022 Mustangs or will it still be a feature in the Premium trims only?

I'm ok ordering online as long as dealer doesn't put additional add-on's when the vehicle is delivered (e.g., doc fees, pin stripes, paint protectant; etc.). If ordering online is going to be the new norm, I suspect there will be fewer stand alone options, rather options will be bundled. But...

Is there any information / rumors on other changes for 2022?

With the chip shortage, is Ford still building 2021 Mustangs? Has production been shut down temporarily? There are practically no Mustangs on dealer lots ( as is the case with other models).
