    Ford is calling it another Model T moment, anoucing their new EV platform.

    New ways (for Ford) to manufacture, like unicastings, and materials like LFP batteries.

    Sounds like they learned a lot from Tesla manufacturing. Maybe they will follow them on their 48-volt architecture too. Would LOVE to see a FORD PGEV pickup with ~150 miles RANGE, & DCQC. AFAIK Dodge is beating them to the punch with that.

    Personally I'm not a fan of 48V systems. I get that they are better, but just like LED bulbs for the house, they cause more problems (for me personally) than they fix.

    From what I understand Ford wants to compete with not only Tesla, but also make their own version of the Slate truck, at least in size and price.
