The only thing in your comment I disagree slightly with is that there are āaffordableā CUVās available. I donāt consider $40k+ affordable. I know there are some that start out under $40k but they quickly go above that when adding any basic option that most people want. The exception might be the...
Fair point. I must say, Iāve found it a little puzzling that Ford chose a ātruckā body style for their first vehicle off the UEV platform. Especially since theyāve killed the Escape and the Bronco Sport doesnāt have a hybrid option. If they would have come out with a small crossover body...
Farley seemed pretty adamant in one of the interviews he did that they had to turn a profit in the Fathom even with the sub 30k price tag. While I agree that the price will likely increase in year two if the truck is as popular as theyāre hoping, I kinda think theyāre not going to take a loss in...
I rented a Tesla model 3 once. It did not have FSD capability. But it did have the ADAS stuff (lane centering, adaptive cruise etc). Personally, I thought it was the worst ADAS system Iāve ever experienced. My Maverick, my daughtersā Kiaās and our prior Hondaās were all much better. In the...
If the base of the windshield really goes all the way to the midpoint of the front wheel wells, that is going to be one mean windshield to clean from the inside. The dash is going to look like it goes on forever like the old GM minivans did.
I think mine is about to die on my 24 that Iāve had for roughly 33 months. Itās going into sleep mode pretty quickly. After only a day of not driving it.
I really enjoyed this podcast. Thanks for posting. On a funny note I couldnāt stop thinking of Flash the Sloth from Zootopia every time the second host was on the screen. Anyone else?
Ford definitely has plans for a crossover/SUV in a couple of sizes I believe. Honestly, I wish they were coming out with the escape replacement on this platform before the Fathom as I want an electric car for my around town driving in metropolitan Nashville area but Iād like to keep my Maverick...
That interior drawing looks pretty good. I have one major hope though. Please Ford, donāt make the controls for the air vent louvers embedded into the center screen the way Tesla does! Requiring a driver to tap the screen, bring up the AC controls and then drag your finger in the exact right...
@rileyfromford would love to eventually hear if the Fathomās cameras will record like a Teslaās does, thereby negating the need to install aftermarket dash cams.
