Dealers are bitching they have zero cars and trucks to sell so Ford said fine we”ll build out a bunch of the Ecoboost Mavericks and delay hybrids.

The Area 51 color is named after the location which the hybrid technology was actually developed. The hybrid is really a nuclear hybrid technology harvested from an alien spacecraft that gets 500 miles to the neutron.
Best one so far. I agree

U.S. pulls out of Afghanistan, mining of rare metals stops, China quits making rechargeable D-cells, Ford quits making making hybrid battery pack, no hybrid Mavericks.

I firmly believe the same people making the Hybrid drivetrain are one and the same who made the hardtops for the Broncos (Webasto), and this is just a repeat of that same disastrous delay but different parts :)

Cui Bono? ... or ... Follow the Money. -- A conspiracy theory in four steps.

The hybrid actually costs more to produce than the EcoBoost.

Ford priced the EcoBoost as an "upgrade" so that customers would get sucked in and "step up" to it, thinking that they are getting something better.

Ford expected customers to fall for this and for 60% of the orders to be for higher profit margin EcoBoost, thus lining Ford's pockets.

When 60% of customers opted for the hybrid, Ford delayed hybrid production to get them to switch to the more profitable EcoBoost.

I think it's fair to say at this point that somethings gone wrong with hybrid drivetrain production and Ford's not able to resolve it anytime soon. That's not a conspiracy theory at all.

But did you know its because lizard people are intercepting critical component shipments that are coming in to the Port of Ensenada?
Sorry, you got that dead wrong. It's the bird people that are causing the problems. They swoop in and have been stealing key components.

Maybe the famed Montana Merkle has become an invasive species in Mexico? They do make nests out of car electronic harnesses.
