Even more interesting EV trivia, look upNot a big Ford fan, but rewriting history is best left to those who get paid to make up stuff, like modern university professors.
The 'Model E' is a registered trademark of a 200+ miles Ford EV available early 2019 according to Ford.
Model A, Model B, Model C, Model T, Model TT, etc, are proof Ford has already established a history with the 'Model' designator.
Much like the 'Tesla' name choice, do you think it was a coincidence that 'Model' was chosen as a Tesla product name? Not a chance. The obvious move from Roadster would have been Tesla GT (grand touring) or similar, then Tesla EUV (electric utility vehicle) if the goal was simply descriptive naming. "Model" was a marketing decision to evoke a well known image of innovation and dominance of a field.
