What rumors have you been reading ? My EV's 12V battery has never given me an issue - 3 + years & 50,000 miles. I have left my Mach E at the airport parking lot for a month recently while away in Europe and never an issue upon return. The HV battery was still at the same charge level and TCU...

It's called range anxiety in most cases and EV manufacturers know this. Unless you plan on towing a class IV load in the middle of sub freezing winters, I would venture to say that standard range battery fits most folks. I got the SR Lightning and SR Mach E - never had an issue but then I also...

Well summarized!

Good news! If it was the way Lightning roll out was handled, then there is no "priority" list because the dealer is out of the loop in your order after you choose the dealer and place an order thru the Ford website. All the dealer gets is the deposit you placed and the order w/ options detail...

So by the time a Tremor or Raptor package is added, the price point goes above a Lightning.

Sean, Thanks for the offer of no ADM ! Question: Does your dealership add on dealer stuff like nitrogen air, door edge plastics, alarm, LoJack, fabric protection, paint protection, etc... ??

For $30K ??

For $30K ?

Ya! I drove in FL during a trip to Orlando & Fort Lauderdale and Floridians drive like crazy! Tailgating is the norm at high speeds - scared the heck out of me and traumatized me forever. Everytime I see the occasional tailgater behind me in Southern California, I assume they are from FL !

If that is true, I'd jump on it. But based on my past 2 Ford EV purchases - it's bound to be more $$$.

Penalty is about 10% range decrease at high speeds - combination of larger & wider tires, wheels, and 2" lift. None noticed at low speeds, daily commuting, and city driving.

She drives the Honda Clarity PHEV sedan. There are other PHEV: Toyota Prius & RAV4, Chrysler Pacifica, BMW X5, and Mazdas. She was thinking of the RAV 4, but when I told her that the Fathom is the same interior size but with a bed, she said a 3 row SUV. She is also going to wait for the new...

My wife is looking at this too! She drives a PHEV but after I got my BEV, she now has overcome range anxiety!

@rileyfromford Since my Slate order window is in Q2 2027, the Fathom reservation and pre-order needs to happen before then! Willing to lose the $300 deposit but it might be worth it if Ford hits it out of the park like they did when the Lightning truck was first released.

Such great news going from the archaic 12V lead acid battery days to the newer tech using higher DC voltages! So much more efficient, thinner wires and less heating of components & modules due to resistivity. As a MECP tech, I can really appreciate more uses of 48V tech - greater power...

Good to know - you may want to share with others when the time comes to choosing the dealer that will order the Fathom. Last 2 Ford EVs when they launched, I had to do all the "footwork" in finding a no markup Ford dealer. Took a bit of driving but worth it. For the Fathom, I might just...

You are correct - forgot about the aluminum panels on the Mach E - when I had the Lightning it was difficult to find steel to mount my magnetic mount antennas....

This is a great video - for my past 2 Ford EVs (Lightning & Mach E) - Tim Bartz @ Long McArthur Ford was authoritative for all Ford products. Tim Bartz was the one who encouraged me on how to get the best rates, pricing, and no ADM. A very truthful insight in how Ford dealerships and how they...

I just want white - Oxford White in F150 parlance...

Impressive announcement that the 2027 Toyota Highlander is all EV - no more ICE or Hybrid engines.
