The fathom from the little we've seen so far is
voice-verified
Does not scream rugged.
voice-verified
And then there's the EV thing.
voice-verified
Most people who buy an EV would never buy an internal combustion vehicle again, but a lot of people don't love change.

voice-verified
The fathom may not be Ford's swing for the fences.
voice-verified
Maybe the company's merely hoping to get on base and lay the groundwork for the next model rolling off the Universal EV platform, the one it really needs to be a home run.
voice-verified

voice-verified
The previously identified spyware also has new functionality capable of stealing troves of data and remotely bricking devices.
