  1. Will Ford get BlueCruise right for the Fathom?

    ADAS may not be for everyone, but it's an unstoppable force in the industry. And I doubt there will be many "software defined" vehicles being developed without it. You'll simply just turn it off if you don't want to use the feature(s). And while Tesla is yet to manufacture the kind of vehicle...

  2. Will Ford get BlueCruise right for the Fathom?

    I have both a Bluecruise 1.4 F150 And a 2025 GMC Denali truck with SuperCruise The Denali EV truck beats the KingRanch F150 in almost every personal experience aspect I care about. It's magnificent! But the F150 has far more comfortable driver's cockpit. Especially on long hauls beyond a...

  3. Response from Patrick of the Electric Duo on Battery size, facts shared during the Ford meeting, and his deductions from the data shared.

    We don't know how many components in the Fathom are actually 48V. Someday, perhaps nothing in the electronics side will be 12V, but it's a tall order to get every low voltage component being acquired from the external automotive industry suppliers to convert. 48V has been utilized in the...

  4. Response from Patrick of the Electric Duo on Battery size, facts shared during the Ford meeting, and his deductions from the data shared.

    I can't imagine it taking a high amperage to "boot up" the Fathom. (or any typical EV) At least not relative to the current required to turn over a crankshaft. You just need enough current to fire up "compute", and thus close the HV contacts, allowing for the DC/DC converter to become...

  5. Fathom vs. CX-5 Size Comparison - public sighting photo

    Never surrender

  6. Fathom vs. CX-5 Size Comparison - public sighting photo

    That shot definitely implies the spaciousness of the Fathom cabin claims. Interesting perspective.

  7. Toyota Highlander EV 3 row SUV

    It's my first GM/GMC vehicle in 68 years on the planet. And truck-wise, I've been pretty much a Blue Oval man the entire time. Have had very good fortune too. (Statistically I should have gotten at least one dud. But haven't) Having said all that, I switched to EV for daily driving a few years...

  8. Toyota Highlander EV 3 row SUV

    GM has recently chosen to treat their 2027 Cadillac EV customer special, it appears. It is the one vehicle that they "unbundundled" Lane Centering from Hands-free. It infuriates me, something not easy to do, when I get out of my 5 year old F150 with full time Adaptive Cruise/Lane-Centering...

  9. Farley says “It’s going to be a heck of an effort to launch this [Fathom] at scale, at cost, on time.”

    Nothing makes the Slatista happier than Fathom smack. I'm not the least surprised that in our current culture that somehow the Fathom/Slate trucks have turned into yet another example of us vs them. But it's so strange that we are so willing to take the bait. I've got 4 different shovels in...

  10. Farley says “It’s going to be a heck of an effort to launch this [Fathom] at scale, at cost, on time.”

    Exactly. It was purely speculative comment by the author, with no basis from factual statements from Farley. I'm OK with click bait, as long as it's acknowledged as click bait and doesn't become falsely factual, like the 51KWH battery became. I wasn't aware of that misleading "fact", and...

  11. Farley says “It’s going to be a heck of an effort to launch this [Fathom] at scale, at cost, on time.”

    I clicked the links, but was unable to find anything stated by Farley or anyone else that mentioned "production might not happen in 2027" Is it just click bait?

  14. Fathom Frunk Patent Images Revealed

    I don't know if we can compare anything Ford has done in the past pre-release and what they are doing with this first UEV vehicle. Or put another way, I don't know of any release that they have done in recent history that is anywhere as important to Ford. I'm not defending or condemning...

  16. Fathom - Possible Midgate Patent - US 2025/0333118 A1

    The mid-gate in the Denali EV is not cheap. It is a lot of engineering. Even the back of the seats are engineered as truck bed surface that you would otherwise be completely unaware of until you fold them down. The mid-gate itself is configured to do a 60-40 split, so you can choose less than...

  17. Fathom - Possible Midgate Patent - US 2025/0333118 A1

    Yes, the Silverado/Sierra EV has the mid-gate on some trim levels. And although I wouldn't have insisted on having the option when I purchased my Denali, I now realize that I WOULD insist if I were to do it again. For beach camping, or even an impulse purchase of something that won't fit in the...

  18. Fathom Frunk Patent Images Revealed

    I It's been going on for years with the Lightning. And the GM/GMC SEV trucks I welcome it coming to this amazing new electric Maverick

  19. Fathom Frunk Patent Images Revealed

    Since Ford's ProPower is stated as standard, regardless of whether Ford stays with the branding, I would be shocked if there isn't 120V service in the Frunk. There's some things Ford did world class right out of the gate when they started "electrification", and the HV battery/liquid cooled...

  20. Fathom vs. Mach-E

    You won't hear me dissing the Mach-E GTPE. It's a fantastic vehicle, and one of the best vehicles that I have ever owned. But I wouldn't consider it as cross-shopping choice with a Fathom. Completely different mission. Enjoy that gorgeous car. And hopefully you find it to be as solid as my...
