We’ve come to accept the advertising of inexpensive EV’s yet don’t match the low base price in the media.

I hope it works out for Ford, been kicking around a pick up for a long time and I think they have an edge up on GM when it comes to trucks

The bait on switch on pricing is getting old. Someone needs to break this cycle.

Even when the Model 3 came out, the lower priced models didn't show up for quite a while. I have my doubts there will be a $30K version of this truck next year, if ever. And then I'm sure they'll slap on a $1500-$2000 destination charge.

Full agreement here, with the caveat that, this isn't even EV specific. Lower end models are harder to find on any vehicle.

Ford just started initial production on the LFP cells for the Universal EV Platform at BlueOval Battery Park in Michigan.

“We are on track to ship electric vehicle batteries in 2026, which will make Ford the first to deliver lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries in the U.S. for mainstream consumer automotive use.”
