  1. Something Important, Say No to Door handles.

    I ripped the door handle right off my 2000 Tahoe when trying to open an iced over door. Ended up getting the rear hatch open to get in.
  2. 2027 Ford electric truck replaces 12V with 48V zonal architecture

    I mean Ford could design the software so that the HV battery trickle charges the LV battery once it gets below a certain level. It’s not like you have to start an engine.
  3. Something Important, Say No to Door handles.

    I like my ev6 wind. Flush handles look nice, but they are fully mechanical. People that get into my car complain, but as an owner you get used to it quick. I didn’t like the gt-line that automatically pop out when you get close or when it’s unlocked. It’s a signal to everyone that it’s your car...
  4. Ford Fathom Design Wishlist: High-Efficiency Colors & Smoother Multi-EV Home Integration

    You want all of the electronics to work year one? That ain’t happening at any price point.
  5. What features do you hope the Fathom might have?

    He’s asking for a tremor package. Tremor package is never available as base pricing. It’s likely part of $10k add on. But also they probably won’t do that, unless it is simple. I doubt they have an alternate suspension, but a 1-1.5” ride lift could be possible likely using spacers, and then gain...
  6. Tim: You will be surprised (in a good way) how cheap it will be for the ER battery

    70 mph on the highway. You get run over driving that fast on a Florida interstate.
  7. Tim: You will be surprised (in a good way) how cheap it will be for the ER battery

    It’s less about charger availability and more about charging time. Sub-300 mile range would be ok if I could gain 150-200 miles of highway driving in 5 minutes instead of 30. I’m good to stop for 5 minutes every 2-3 hours, I don’t want to stop for 30 minutes, which is what most cars require...
  8. Tim: You will be surprised (in a good way) how cheap it will be for the ER battery

    So your thought is they would do the same volume/weight and the difference between SR and ER is LFP vs NMC. Like what they did with the MachE. My thought was that they would have the ER as filling the volume and the SR as partial volume. Both running LFP but the SR with 55-60 kWh and ER with...
  9. Tim: You will be surprised (in a good way) how cheap it will be for the ER battery

    A $5000 battery add should be around 30-40 kWh (with a $3k-4k cost to Ford) which should net another 100-120 miles on the highway. The added weight will negate some of the city driving added range, but weight isn’t a huge factor in highway range. So the city range might also only increase by...
  10. Tim: You will be very impressed at the price level with what's included as standard equipment

    They also said earlier in the video that the fathom is bigger than a maverick. He said when he asked that they didn’t hesitate, but said firmly that it is bigger. This is good to me as I’d like something between a Ranger and maverick size.
  11. Tin Foil Hat Post

    I’ve never cared for the look of the maverick, especially the front end. Cute is a good word for it. I’d prefer both the Ranger, Colorado or even the Santa Cruz front end.
  12. What features do you hope the Fathom might have?

    I haven’t used a Mach e door handle. What’s wrong with them? Personally I love the look of our EV6 recessed handles. It was weird at first but I got used to it quickly. Personally I’m good with any of them.
  13. Two Fathom EVs spotted @ Tesla supercharging station in California

    They have similar specs, but the rear seat is wildly more comfortable in a RAV4, though it only has 1 more inch of room. A big part of it is the seating position.
  14. Two Fathom EVs spotted @ Tesla supercharging station in California

    All of the talk about the annoyance of dropping the trailer to charge. My question is won’t you block multiple stations pulling forward into the spot with a charger? Most EV chargers seem to have a similar layout as a parking lot, so pulling in forward with a trailer would block the aisle and/or...
  15. 2027 Ford electric truck replaces 12V with 48V zonal architecture

    The Achilles heal of the HMG 800v lines is the charge controller. It handles setup up and step down from 120/240 to 800 and 800 to 12 to charge the little battery. I think they are the only ones that do it with a single device. I think Ford said they want to use a similar single module...
  16. Any wagers on BlueCruise - 3 years or 90 days ?

    You have to manually break with BC in a fast stop? Our EV6 with HDA1 will come to a complete stop even in very hard breaking. It is unnerving if the follow distance is set to the shortest, but is just fine when it’s set to the longest distance. It’s hard to watch as the car hurtles ahead toward...
  17. What features do you hope the Fathom might have?

    I didn’t even think to say something. Riley, we want an interior that isn’t black. I’ll take gray, tan, sand, brown. Anything but black. Well maybe not red. We spent an extra $3000 over other models on our used EV6 because it was the only one we could find with a tan interior.

    I’m not creating an IG account. I signed up for email updates and it sent me to their IG account that I can’t see.
  19. Calculated Battery Size Based on the Images

    Rivian got 335 EPA out of an 88kwh LFP battery with a more boxy design. Ford also claims they made a more efficient motor. They use an LG, which I imagine is behind CATL, if Ford is able to use the latest CATL tech.
