  1. Cheap interior, build quality for $70k

    What is wrong with the Maverick? I've haven't heard anything outside of the fuel tank recall. Remember the Maverick is supposed to be cheap and shares its parts bin with other C platfform products like the Escape and Bronco Sport Its also been proven ad infimum that North American customers...
  2. Rivian shocks with R2, R3, R3X reveals! $45K starting price, 0-60 under 3 secs, 300+ miles range, NACS port

    Average cost of a new car is like $48-50K right now. Small is hard to nail down-something around the size of the Escape or Bronco Sport would have no problems selling to the US market, that is what I consider "small". Something smaller than that would go over like a fart in church.
  3. Rivian shocks with R2, R3, R3X reveals! $45K starting price, 0-60 under 3 secs, 300+ miles range, NACS port

    Completely different market at this time. Rivian also stopped production of its new factory in GA to give them more time to avoid going into BK. There been rumors they've been talking with Nissan about a merger or maybe sharing a product with them. The conversion to EVs is still happening...
  4. Worried about the Bronco Engines now….

    Just keep in mind that the vast majority of post of almost anything on the internet/social media is negative in someway...how many times do you really see people happy with something post about it? Its about 1/10 of negative posts made about something.
  5. Bronco February 2024 Sales & Production: 8,186 Sold / 12,659 Produced

    Where is your logic? Have you never considered that there are shipping delays, hold ups at the plant for parts, etc that would affect sales numbers to dealerships. So answer this one: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/bronco-october-2023-sales-production-4-805-sold-82-produced.83816/ How...
  6. Bronco February 2024 Sales & Production: 8,186 Sold / 12,659 Produced

    What your getting hung up on is actually called a Dealer inventory turn rate-which how fast inventory they have the lots (that they BUY from Ford or who ever) sells. Just using EVs as an example-see this article...
  7. Bronco February 2024 Sales & Production: 8,186 Sold / 12,659 Produced

    And you'd be completely wrong. Your still not getting it-its what Ford has SOLD to its dealer network. A car/truck/suv might sit on the dealer lot for less than a week or it might sit there for months on end.
  8. Bronco February 2024 Sales & Production: 8,186 Sold / 12,659 Produced

    It’s pretty obvious that they don’t get that
  9. Bronco February 2024 Sales & Production: 8,186 Sold / 12,659 Produced

    That is a pretty shitty comment to make when I provided a link to show that your wrong. Ford doesn't count it as a sale till its delivered to the dealership. like I said before Ford doesn't and can't sell directly to consumers due to franchise laws...so WHAT do you not get about that?

  11. Bronco February 2024 Sales & Production: 8,186 Sold / 12,659 Produced

    Ford sells product to the dealership, not directly to consumers. The difference in numbers is due to production and shipping issues.
  12. Bronco February 2024 Sales & Production: 8,186 Sold / 12,659 Produced

    Exactly correct-they are counted as sold once they dealership gets them.
  13. Bronco February 2024 Sales & Production: 8,186 Sold / 12,659 Produced

    In all seriousness, why are you talking about people who where hired 50+ years ago? The automotive industry has changed quite a bit in that time. As for deliveries from Ford- I got my 2006 Mustang GT (more or less same popularity as the Bronco had a few years back) in roughly 3 months and I...
  14. Bronco EV reportedly on hold until early next decade (⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS)

    Make of it what you want, but https://blog.evbox.com/fast-charging-battery https://thenextweb.com/news/is-fast-charging-bad-ev-battery-degradation Also keep in mind batteries are overbuilt to a point to account for cell failure over their lifetime.
  15. Bronco EV reportedly on hold until early next decade (⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS)

    So here is the thing-almost any argument against EVs disappear if you can recharge in 20 minutes or less to 80% for almost anywhere...that is far easier to attain than using hydrogen in most situations.
  16. Bronco EV reportedly on hold until early next decade (⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS)

    Depending on who you believe, Geopolitically the Chinese might just fall apart in the next five to ten years. Lots of countries are going to see some very big demographic changes in that same time, due to decline in birth rates over the past 30 years.
  17. Bronco EV reportedly on hold until early next decade (⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS)

    But training is out there if one so desires to learn. I have an old army buddy who is a Ford tech that got training to work on the Mach E and Lightning and I'm sure they have it for the hybrids also. Its just your local mechanics don't have the training because they haven't kept on it or...
  18. Bronco EV reportedly on hold until early next decade (⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS)

    But those items listed are manufactured to lowest standard using cheap materials. EV batteries have their own climate controls to protect them during extreme weather, which is part of the reason why range is affected in those extremes. The other issue is that there are something like 13 states...
  19. Bronco EV reportedly on hold until early next decade (⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS)

    Here is the thing-there are plenty of hybrids that lasted 200k+ miles without needing a new battery too. Battery costs will come down as more cell production comes online over the next 7-10 years.
  20. Bronco EV reportedly on hold until early next decade (⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS)

    That boils down to a training issue and not an actual issue. Its like going from diesel to gas, well to a point.
