[QUOTE="GordoJay, post: 2109885, member: 39584"] Typical product life cycle. The first product breaks new ground and is awesome. The next generation adds incremental improvements and is awesome, but cuts a corner or two. Every generation that follows has less improvement and more corner cutting. It's what happens when MBAs and bean counters get involved with an existing product line. Since 95% of Raptors never leave the pavement, the impact on sales is small. At first. But as the corner cutting starts to dominate, the halo starts slipping and that costs sales. At that point, the product line is either revamped or discontinued. My totally unsupported belief is that the wokies at Ford figured that EVs would conquer the world and are milking the Raptor for pennies to waste on batteries. It will be interesting to see, now that adults are in charge again in DC, whether that calculus changes. I sure hope so. [/QUOTE]
