Ford confirms the only cars it will sell are Mustang, Focus Active
This is telling. Ford plans to reduce sedan portfolio to just two models. Tesla could soon have more models of cars in production than Ford does! This is a retreat into a comfort niche for Ford, just trucks and SUVs.
Of course, Ford says they're bringing a dozen new model EVs to market in the early 2020s, but there is no certainty which of these new models will be a hit like Model 3 or dud like the Bolt. So Ford's exit from the sedan market may prove irreversible, or at least the exit from ICE sedans will be irreversible.
I think this illustrates an issue that EV skeptics may not see so clearly. The number and diversity of ICE models in production will decline over time. This will narrow ICE options for consumers just as the EV options become expanding. ICE models will be old and stale, while EV models are new and fresh. This will motive the middle of the market (as distinct from early adopters and late holdouts) to shift their attention and dollars to EVs. Holdouts will still buy cars like the Mustang for nostalgic reasons, but no one will pine for a Taurus. So Ford is right to keep the Mustang and cut the Taurus. The new Focus Active crossover may serve a transitional need and prove to be one of the last of all-new ICE models. The pipeline of new gas models will thin, just like the global pipeline of new coal plants has thinned. It's just not worth the investment going forward.
So we'll keep an eye on makers like Ford retreating there portfolios into comfort niches like Mustangs and trucks. What they've got lefty to sell is nostalgia. Expect to see lots of overly sentimental ICE ads like those of Subaru.
