That actually seems like a good color for this truck

I’m happy to hear whatever info you have. I have no reason to believe you aren’t telling the truth. Even if it’s not true, the speculation and discussion it creates is still fun and passes the time.

Area 51 is a great color and it will probably be one of the best sellers. The other two, not so much. I guess they aren’t any worse than cyber orange/orange fury on the maverick. Let’s just hope those don’t carry over to the interior. Here’s a screen shot from the beginning of the video. Maybe...

that’s crazy if true. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say bringing back pastel colors is a good idea 🤪. I would have assumed a more Tesla like approach, 3-4 colors on lower trims and a few additional for the upper trims, all relatively safe colors.

There’s no way those will be the colors imo. That would alienate a good portion of potential buyers.

The vertical elements come from some drawings that appeared in a video ford released a while ago. The whole front end looks to be pulled from that. Here’s a close up of the drawing: I really hope it doesn’t look like this rendering. It could just be the angles of the render, but this looks...

The screen in the nautilus wouldn’t be bad either.

It might not be official, but it’s definitely been confirmed, which was the original wording. I’ll choose to believe the CEO and the guy who oversaw the development of the Fathom and ran the entire Skunkworks 😂. Now, nothing about the midgate has been confirmed, but there have been mentions...

Actually we have known for almost a year now. It might not have been mentioned in this latest press release, but Jim Farley said it was RWD back in Sept 2025, and then Doug Field clarified in January 2026 that it would be RWD and AWD...

You guys are much more patient than me. 30 min at a gas station would drive me crazy. Especially on a road trip after I just spent the last 2 hours passing everyone, only to watch them all pass me by while charging 😂.

I wonder how cheap a legacy automaker could have made a vehicle like the slate? I think most people would agree that 25k for what you get on the base slate is crazy. But they are a start up so they don’t have the economies of scale working in their favor. I bet ford could make something like...

We also know it will be RWD standard with optional AWD

No one ever said $5k, even losing a penny is still a loss. Ford’s EV division has never made a profit, so technically they are losing money on every EV (at one point it was 40-60k per vehicle). Now is ford using the fathom as a loss leader? Who knows, but I wouldn’t put it past them. It’s hard...

IMO ford wants your data and they want to sell you subscriptions. Putting more vehicles on the road with blue cruise helps them achieve that. They’d probably sell the fathom at a loss since they can make more money off your data and subscriptions. the biggest question mark is the design. I’ve...

Must haves: -Power windows, locks and mirrors -BLIS -Electrochromic mirrors -Cross traffic alert -360 camera -Large screen for use with CarPlay. -digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel (a small one like the Mach e is fine). -keep physical buttons -radio and speakers (nothing...

Skunkworks is located in Long Beach between San Diego and San Luis Obispo. The driving distance between SD and SLO is 312 miles and the distance between LB and SLO is 209 miles. Could be indicators of standard and extended range, but it’s just as likely that those cities were used to show off...

I’ve always thought Borg was more right than wrong and enjoy his info. But what he said about the range does line up with the guy from the focus group too. I’d still take it with a grain of salt, but I’d guess there’s some truth there.

200 mile range for 30k would be a huge disappointment. Nissan Leaf has 300 miles range for 30k. The Bolt has 262 for the same price as the Fathom. The Chevrolet equinox has 319 miles range for 37k. If those price and range rumors are true, there are numerous ev’s that have better range and price...

It makes sense if you think about it, less configurations = cheaper to build, which helps ford make it at an affordable price.

Fathom is definitely better than Ranchero (although their story for coming up with that name sounded a little ridiculous and AI generated). I heard someone call it a Phantom by accident and now I think Ford Phantom sounds 10x then either Fathom or Ranchero. The price sounds good, but I really...
