The Ford Model T has been dead for almost a century. It’s an antique, a relic of times gone by… though one that has obvious importance in the history of the Ford Motor Company. That said, if anyone gets the bright idea to type “2026 Ford Model T” into Google, they’ll get slapped with an AI overview right at the top of the search results that suggests the Model T is headed back to market as a brand-new model. We don’t think we really need to say it, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor.
Google’s AI overview thinks that the 2026 Ford Model T will be an affordable electric vehicle, oddly enough. It also specifies that the supposed Model T would be “designed for urban and suburban life,” and aims to “capture the spirit of the original, which made car ownership accessible to a wider population, but with a focus on sustainable transportation in the electric era.”
That sounds all well and good, but it’s all complete nonsense. The AI overview doesn’t even cover what the 2026 Ford Model T could look like, aside from a potential “tall roofline” and “upright windshield.” It also suggests that it will rely on Ford’s “Iron Drive” electric architecture. We’ve never heard of “Iron Drive” to describe anything but golf, and it’s certainly not related to Ford in any way.
The 2026 Ford Model T is, again, a complete lie picked up by Google’s AI overview from various AI-generated videos floating around online. To its credit, Google does specify that its sources are mainly videos, and that they shouldn’t be trusted until Ford itself makes an official announcement.
But, for now, the 2026 Ford Model T is just a made-up concept, just like the 2025 Ford Ranchero, the 2026 Ford Escort, the 2026 Ford Focus RS, and the 2026 Ford Fusion. Every single one is completely nonexistent, but hey, we suppose there’s nothing wrong with dreaming.
