In a recent interview with Insideevs, Ford CEO Jim Farley provides an update on the $30k EV truck:
"This is literally like the Apollo or Gemini mission within Ford," Farley said, referring to the United States' space programs in the 1960s and 1970s. "A uniquely American, high-risk project... just like the power units for Formula 1, it's one of the most challenging projects I've ever been involved in."
"All the parts are quoted and designed, and now we're deeply into retrofitting the manufacturing facility," Farley said. "We stopped Escape production. We have the megacasting machines now up and running. We're building prototypes now with our own zonal electric architecture software controlling the vehicles. I was very excited to see, you know, the vehicle turning and stopping with Ford software, and the silicon that we designed and specced."
