this is a GOOD move, hybrid is now proven, i want my maverick truck please.
This is on top of the $8,100 MSRP price slash that Ford implemented in February.
“Buttigieg placed on suicide watch.......”
I’d watch him commit suicide.
“Ford to delay all-electric SUV, truck to focus on offering hybrid vehicles across its lineup by 2030”
We are heading for an EPIC COLLISION now as the Biden bunch will effectively OUTLAW the production of gasoline vehicles, including hybrids, by 2030.
But it’s GREAT to see Ford doing this (thus joining Toyota, by way, LOL), now it’s up to the others to do the same.
“All electric” and “SUV” just don’t go in the same sentence together. LOL
All the billions these idiot CEOs poured into EVs over the past three years could have been used to develop hybrids. They just couldn’t wait to satisfy their fedgov benefactors and pander to the early adopters and Green Screeches.
Seppuku is preferred....................
That’s because an all-electric truck or SUV is a disaster waiting to happen.
Just looked the replacement cost for a hybrid battery.
Not doing that.
Our local Ford has three on his lot.
They can’t give them away..................
From last May...

Soooo not doing it.
My son had a hybrid Pruis about 7 years ago. He saw mileage in the city equivalent to highway driving. He really liked it. But his family outgrew it because it didn’t have good trunk space.
Your Mach-E will be worth less than Zero in month 73 when you have to pay to have it hauled off as hazardous waste.
You can do that. I can’t.
I’m not in favor of F’ing taxpayers.
“The automaker said the massive Tennessee facility, which was part of an $11.4 billion investment announced in 2021, will begin production of Ford’s next-generation all-electric truck, codenamed “T3,” in 2026, rather than 2025.”
I know a couple who built a McMansion near that battery plant. Doing so took up ALL their savings.
No stocks, bonds, mutual funds, money market funds, etc. Everything went into the house.
They say that the house will go up 200% to 400% in value once the plant is completed.
Then they can retire on all that money.
Good bet, isn’t it?
Wow, Brandon is going to blow a gasket at this news. I hope he doesn’t stroke out at this news.
Did anybody tell Butty Boy about this?
Wonder if you can just remove the dead battery and fool the electronics into thinking the battery's there. Then you have the smug satisfaction of operating a "hybrid" vehicle with the convenience of the gas engine.
