Good point. Thanks for updating. My brain was stuck on the mid size Class provided by Ford and validated by Tim from Long McArthur. After some Ai research, there is no formal designation for compact or mid size, so I decided to look at the datafor the vehicles that are referenced that way...

This interview with Tim Bartz included some informatioon that is new regarding the Fathom. its about an hour long. If your a MAverick Forum follower, you will be familiar with this speaker.
A few years ago I considered Kia/ Hyundai as an option for purchase. After reading some of the reviews from owners, there was a consistent list of compaliants on service and parts availabilty from the dealers. A 100,000 mile warranty for a parked auto does not work for me. This may have...
I would use it for fishing tackle box and ice chest, as well as first aid kit. Obviously do not knwo if it will hold these items, i
i have no idea what the dimensions will be.
There is an improved LFP battery available from CATL, which according to a inquiry made from from Claude, is available by contract to Ford. This has higher energy density and faster charging speed. If they are using this technology for all the trims than the estimates on battery size are low...
when the MAverick was released, I recall there were vehicles placed at our local dealers to veiw and sit in, but not available to drive. That would be fine with me.
An AWD extended range trim would make sense. I do not expect there to be alot of trim options ofered seperately, unless they are “bolt on” at the dealers service department. Just me interpreting the desire to keep the production line moving and eliminate sources of error in manufacture.
Barring some lies in the current presentation, I’ll be placing an order for a mid to top teir trim vehicle at the beginning. This is a perfect fit for my uses. Live in the suburbs, fish, go to state and national parks to visit, do alot of landscaping and light home repair work. This fits in my...
From what I’ve read, the batteries have alot of charge recycles documented, especially if you are not using a rapid charge. Not an engineer, but I read alot of the data on the LFP batteries from CATL and the technolgy has been refined over the last decade.
Riley, good to see you reading and replying. It shows you care. Consider the CATL high end battery formulation replacing the FLP iron based formulation.
