Here is the ford Aeros that was cancelled at the last minute right before production. It also had the same style handles, so we know ford was at least willing to give them another shot.
So the speculation has been that those are fake. They look pretty flimsy and if you look close, they arenāt straight.
in this image, you can even see a bulge under the camo right where you would expect the mach e style handle to be.
And in this image, you donāt even see the fake door handles...
Agreed. I donāt understand this trend of electronic door handles. Keep it simple and safe. I also donāt understand why everyone thinks EVs need to be minimalist on the inside. I need a separate IP screen. I need physical buttons. Sure, itās cheaper to put everything on one screen, but adding a...
Iām happy to hear whatever info you have. I have no reason to believe you arenāt telling the truth. Even if itās not true, the speculation and discussion it creates is still fun and passes the time.
Area 51 is a great color and it will probably be one of the best sellers. The other two, not so much. I guess they arenāt any worse than cyber orange/orange fury on the maverick. Letās just hope those donāt carry over to the interior.
Hereās a screen shot from the beginning of the video. Maybe...
thatās crazy if true. I donāt think Iāve ever heard anyone say bringing back pastel colors is a good idea š¤Ŗ. I would have assumed a more Tesla like approach, 3-4 colors on lower trims and a few additional for the upper trims, all relatively safe colors.
The vertical elements come from some drawings that appeared in a video ford released a while ago. The whole front end looks to be pulled from that. Hereās a close up of the drawing:
I really hope it doesnāt look like this rendering. It could just be the angles of the render, but this looks...
It might not be official, but itās definitely been confirmed, which was the original wording. Iāll choose to believe the CEO and the guy who oversaw the development of the Fathom and ran the entire Skunkworks š.
Now, nothing about the midgate has been confirmed, but there have been mentions...
Actually we have known for almost a year now. It might not have been mentioned in this latest press release, but Jim Farley said it was RWD back in Sept 2025, and then Doug Field clarified in January 2026 that it would be RWD and AWD...
You guys are much more patient than me. 30 min at a gas station would drive me crazy. Especially on a road trip after I just spent the last 2 hours passing everyone, only to watch them all pass me by while charging š.
I wonder how cheap a legacy automaker could have made a vehicle like the slate? I think most people would agree that 25k for what you get on the base slate is crazy. But they are a start up so they donāt have the economies of scale working in their favor. I bet ford could make something like...
No one ever said $5k, even losing a penny is still a loss. Fordās EV division has never made a profit, so technically they are losing money on every EV (at one point it was 40-60k per vehicle).
Now is ford using the fathom as a loss leader? Who knows, but I wouldnāt put it past them. Itās hard...
IMO ford wants your data and they want to sell you subscriptions. Putting more vehicles on the road with blue cruise helps them achieve that. Theyād probably sell the fathom at a loss since they can make more money off your data and subscriptions.
the biggest question mark is the design. Iāve...
Must haves:

-BLIS
-Electrochromic mirrors
-Cross traffic alert
-360 camera
-Large screen for use with CarPlay.
-digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel (a small one like the Mach e is fine).
-keep physical buttons
-radio and speakers (nothing...
Skunkworks is located in Long Beach between San Diego and San Luis Obispo. The driving distance between SD and SLO is 312 miles and the distance between LB and SLO is 209 miles. Could be indicators of standard and extended range, but itās just as likely that those cities were used to show off...
