I don't know if we can compare anything Ford has done in the past pre-release and what they are doing with this first UEV vehicle. Or put another way, I don't know of any release that they have done in recent history that is anywhere as important to Ford. I'm not defending or condemning...

Riley has boundaries. You know he wishes he could......

The mid-gate in the Denali EV is not cheap. It is a lot of engineering. Even the back of the seats are engineered as truck bed surface that you would otherwise be completely unaware of until you fold them down. The mid-gate itself is configured to do a 60-40 split, so you can choose less than...

Yes, the Silverado/Sierra EV has the mid-gate on some trim levels. And although I wouldn't have insisted on having the option when I purchased my Denali, I now realize that I WOULD insist if I were to do it again. For beach camping, or even an impulse purchase of something that won't fit in the...

I It's been going on for years with the Lightning. And the GM/GMC SEV trucks I welcome it coming to this amazing new electric Maverick

Since Ford's ProPower is stated as standard, regardless of whether Ford stays with the branding, I would be shocked if there isn't 120V service in the Frunk. There's some things Ford did world class right out of the gate when they started "electrification", and the HV battery/liquid cooled...

You won't hear me dissing the Mach-E GTPE. It's a fantastic vehicle, and one of the best vehicles that I have ever owned. But I wouldn't consider it as cross-shopping choice with a Fathom. Completely different mission. Enjoy that gorgeous car. And hopefully you find it to be as solid as my...

I'm OK with CCS or Nacs But please just give me one. Either one is fine.

I've had my Emporium EVSE for about 4 years. It has worked flawlessly. I doubt I would replace it just to avoid using an adapter. Admittedly I'm influenced that way because the next EVSE I buy will likely cost more than what the Emporium cost me. About double, in fact.

I'm pretty sure if Ford will just undress the truck, removing the camo, and let the public actually SEE it........ Another huge surge of attention will result. Then start trickling out some of the details of the fairly sizeable number of new-for-Ford attributes about this truck. For example...

Imagine a scenario where some genius invented a paint that collected solar energy, and it was so efficient at doing so that if you equipped an EV with that solar paint, it could charge the EV battery at a rate that it could extend the range of the EV as long as there was enough sunlight to...

I'm guessing that there will be engineering for EREV to address fuel age concerns. Similar to the example that was just given regarding the Volt. I wouldn't be surprised if there are onboard settings and choices for the driver to choose to run the generator ICE intentionally, even when it...

I'm looking forward to EREV tech to get here to our shores too. But I want it for the problem it solves that currently has no EV solution. Long Range towing. Both the Lightning and the Sierra EV are awesome RV boondocking tow vehicles. But you can't stuff enough battery in them to overcome the...

Exactly two years of Mach-E GTPE daily driving. If Ford could guarantee me that the Fathom will be as well put together as the Mach-E, and be as trouble free as mine was, I would be ecstatic. I realize the Mach-E never got the fanfare and publicity of some of the other EV's that it competes...

Human nature is to be the most anxious at the end of the wait. My grandchildren commonly tell me what they want for Christmas, while only being aware of how far away that is shortly before it actually approaches. Once the presents are wrapped in camo and they see them with their eyes, the...
