Putting 5+ billlion dollars into a Dollar Tree EV would sink this entire UEV concept in 24 months. Farley is not stupid, and the people he hired for the development team have their reputations at risk as well. While I expect their to be some issues that will show up after the the vehicle is on...

I ve subscribed to your site. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks for sharing. I think his view on Ford Quality standards are different than those of recent customers. Hopefully his concern will translate into a successful launch of the UEV family. I agreee with the value of bidirectional capability as a selling benefit not just a feature. I would...

When you want 100,000 orders, incentives in a tight market for retail sales may make a difference.

That is what I recall. Sit in but no drive available.

Yes, read more about it last night. Got the same response when I did an inquiry. it makes more sense than any other option to get to 300 miles. Still unconfirmed by Ford.

There is an improved LFP battery that is reportedly included in their CATL contract. It has a zinc magesium catalyst which increases power density and lowers charging time. I read this but could not get it confirmed by Riley. It would not require process capital to put this in Michigan, it’s a...

Ford had touch but don’t drive Mavericks on lots while taking orders, as I recall. I went to look and sit one at thetime. The interior was not my taste, so I passed at the time. How did they handle the Mache introduction?

It would appear that the pioneers in the EV market have had their share of problems. I worked for an entrepenuer who told me you do no t want to be first or last with a new product. First has start up issues and last has nothing but price. the buyers are now about tenyears into this product...

in this type of analysis, I really don't know if the screen shots were the same distance from the camera, so that alone could create a difference in the reference values. You may be right, the maverick may be shorter if the maverick was farther away from the camera during that screen shot. i...

Dark car was the maverick. Fathom is slightly shorter than maverick. I used separate screenshots of the maverick and fathom for the analysis by Claude, not the overlay.

Had Claude look at the bed to body ratio on the maverick and estimate bed length. This is all speculation, done from two screen shots. Just sharing for fun. The length and height are a little more sound from calculations.

Took some screen shots from the video and asked Claude to use the diensions for the maverick to determine the size of the fathom. These were the dimensions using pixels that Claude calculated.

No, the CEO said he will begin taking orders late 2026 early 2027. Thats were 90 days came from. I have no ties to anything, do not even own a Ford today. This vehicle checks all my boxes as my current ride is 12 years old, 145,000 miles. Great condition, however the Renegade was discountinued...

I have read that dealerships are making more in the “finance” department than on the sale of the vehicles. Extended warranties are vital if you buy instead of lease If you intend to hold for more than the manufacturers warranty period. I will need to iclude that in my consideration when...

We are victims of our Senator who owns dealerships.

I have only discussed the Fathom. So far, they are telling me they will beat the X Plan and Costco pricing. I asked if CERT qualified as First Responder discount, and got a yes. Don’t know if that will actually happen, but every response I get (spoke with three dealers so far) is “give me a...

The feedback i am getting from local dealers is discounts to secure an order, not markups.

Another point to remember is the first model year 2028 may have 15 to 18 months of actual production available if they start production in mid year 2027.

Been there. It’s the reason I am interested in this instead of a hybrid. Installing a back up for my home would be north of $5000 and it would not have wheels. This vehicle will go with me if I move, as well as provide transportation and light duty utility service. Claude : Typical ranges...
