I've been seeing those reports about the Edge but I don't think that it's true.
I'm am design student here in Detroit and a few of my instructors currently work in the industry full time.
I am in class now and he confirmed that he's currently assisting on the next gen Edge. I explicitly asked about the cancelation reports and he said "No, I'm filled up with Edge parts." I leave his exact answer out but I did I ask him was it ICE or BEV, he talked about why it made sense for Ford "separated" the EV work, what it means for engineers & designers, and how Ford it committing to still producing ICE models for the time being. I asked him about timeframe, and he said in general, at this stage, it's likely about a year and a half from being on the road.
So unless he's mistaken, the Edge isn't dead.
