  1. 2027 Ford electric truck replaces 12V with 48V zonal architecture

    Tesla's 48 volt battery is small. I expect it would also be small in the Fathom. Cybertruck's "Low Voltage Battery" -13S1P -4AH (166.4Wh) -41.6v Nominal Voltage Each of the 13 cells in there are about 3.2vdc
  2. Reactions from 6 Ford plant employees upon seeing the Fathom EV truck / Ford Universal EV Platform

    Six employees from Louisville Assembly Plant and BlueOval Battery Park Michigan were invited to see the future of electric vehicle production and the first vehicle from the new Ford Universal EV Platform.
  3. Fathom vs. Mach-E

    The other half is that they used this quote in the design to reduce costs:
  4. 2027 Ford electric truck replaces 12V with 48V zonal architecture

    The good news first: The not so good news: Hopefully Ford will cover the 48 volt battery for 10 years like they do with the drivetrain of the Maverick Hybrid for the Fathom.
  5. Tim: You will be surprised (in a good way) how cheap it will be for the ER battery

    I believe ER Battery and AWD will be the only factory options (along with paint color) that will be offered as the base Fathom is already pretty loaded. There may be some dealer installed products also available. I like ER and AWD at $5,000 additional cost mentioned above.
  6. Dimensions for midsized and compact trucks for comparison. Also the RAV4 since it was offered as a reference for passenger compartment.

    If the Mav was that length I would not have owned one as it would not fit in my garage. My old 1998 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab at 203.6" in length barely fit in my garage.
  7. Tim: You will be surprised (in a good way) how cheap it will be for the ER battery

    For those who are quoting the ER battery at $5,000. That is at the highest end of the range. My guesstimate is $2,500. The reason is this: and this: The weight of either pack is around the same (990 lbs for LFP vs 925 for NMC). The NMC pack should produce 20 kWh more than the LFP pack...
  8. Tim: You will be very impressed at the price level with what's included as standard equipment

    Video queued to start of discussion. Just press play. Tim's Impressions from Dealer Meeting on the Fathom Tim: Saw inside it (bigger than a Maverick) Not sure if he was referencing the inside or overall Lot of features included as standard Tim: You will be very impressed at the price...
  9. Tim: You will be surprised (in a good way) how cheap it will be for the ER battery

    Video queued to start of discussion. Just press play. More than one battery option SR (standard range) & ER (extended range) Will the ER battery be $10,000 like the F-150 Lightning? Ford Answer: NO, It will be significantly less than that Tim: (with a look) You will be surprised (in a good...
  10. It is not Ranchero. It is Ford Fathom™. $28,350 Starting Price

    I think your inside source is just making things up. How the heck can the Fathom get only 200 miles range when Slate gets 205 mile range with their boxy EV truck. The Fathom gets 50 more miles range just from Aero design improvements. Also no way will the extended range pack be less than 300...
  11. Any wagers on BlueCruise - 3 years or 90 days ?

    I like that you can rent it for $50 a month. I would do so on any vacation.
  12. It is not Ranchero. It is Ford Fathom™. $28,350 Starting Price

    No way in he** will that happen. Ford canceled the F150 Lightning EV and will introduce a replacement as a Range-Extended Hybrid. They did not take the F150 Lightning EV and add a EREV option nor will they ever do it to the Universal EV Platform.
  13. It is not Ranchero. It is Ford Fathom™. $28,350 Starting Price

    205 miles is for the boxy Slate not the Aero designed Fathom. Quotes from Ford about the Fathom previously have stated around 300 miles but since they mention an extended range option I expect 250+ mile range for the Fathom base battery and 350+ mile range for the extended range option. Also...
  14. It is not Ranchero. It is Ford Fathom™. $28,350 Starting Price
