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...

Suburban Florida, Texas, Tennessee and Arizona have a lot of retired or semi retired folks who will embrace a utility vehicle that doubles as a portable work station and emergency power supply for their home. I believe the 100,000 mark is reachable in under 18 months, provided the rollout does...

I am adjusting to viewing it as an appliance on wheels, not a conventional means of transportation. We leased our hybrid from honda to maintain optionality. We bought it out at the end of the lease. Have not decided on the Fathom yet.

Nice post. Good engineering approach. E=MVsquared! Never thought about it like that. Helps me rationalize the Ford approach for getting performance. I will wait for Ford to tell us! Also asked Riley about protection from water to the undercarriage batteries and motors. You may have some...

I’m same in your peer group and have the same view. Driver assist in town when it’s perfected in a few years will be a benefit. Went for Waymo drive in Phoenix and it was awesome.

My experiece with parts for Jeep were no better.

I asked Claude to compare the weight difference from the diffferent batteries as well as the electrical architecture based on the current Ford Fathom data and the EV3 specifications. The price increase for exended range and AWD increase are in the range I expect from Ford for the Fathom, based...

Farley originally stated that orders would begin in late 2026. I suspect that it will be a release of the guide late in 2026 and intial orders in 2027. No telling right now when the delivery of vehicles will start.

I saw the same cost per kwh, came to the same conclusion. The post by Alan admitted the 200’s for the entry level range. AWD and batteries are lot easler to add in a trim for this vehicle than doubling up towing capacity. The spokesperson from Ford said this is not a work truck for a farm or...

This is consistent with the manufacturing process philosophy. Just a footnote: Joining the Mustang club qualifies you for X plan pricing, a well investeed $40 to control dealer greed. I spoke with two local dealers who will honor this if it is offered. Tim will honor it as well based on his...

I’m in the same camp with you. We have a Honda CRV touring for travel and I want a compct truck for my personal use in town for recreation like visiting parks, fishing and small haling for landscape and home repairs. This may tow a small boat or camper trailer, but I would have limited...

I found the discussion on battery options promising. They are going to offer both larger battery and better improved CATL chemistry battery possibly in both sizes. This will be beneficial for both range and the option I care most about which is power during a storm outage. Appreciated the...

Makes sense. Thanks. I plan on the ER and AWD trim.

I hope a trailer hitch is built into the truck as standard. I had one installed by the deaaler on my Rene and it was not properly installed ( missing bolts) and still cost $700 12 years ago. Proper integration is best done at the factory and is cost effective.

Recent update from Tim at Long Mcartur was there would be at least two trims offered at introduction. Implied extended battery range and AWD. Video 251 as I recall.

Thanks, Tim. Long Mcarthur looks better all the time. Your vidoes are very helpful.
