40k+ OTD yeah for sure, but for an apples to apples comparison that's also the case for the Maverick and other "cheap" vehicles too. Dealerships have gotten incredibly greedy with doc fees in my area too and our sales tax is even higher (TN, 7% + $80).
I personally hate any kind of electronic door handle. I don't want any system that is reliant on some electronic motor to open the door or to allow me to use the handle. I don't mind my EV6 flush mounted door handles because at least they're still fully mechanical - I'd hate them if they were...
X Plan rules have changed in the past few years. The doc fee cap is now all the way up to $300 and there is also a $375 admin fee. Still beats the $800+ average doc fee around here.
The dealerships around me suck and aren't going to give anyone anything close to below invoice, and definitely...
The price for the EV3 GT-Line is about where I expect a fully loaded Fathom to land, but I'd never consider an EV3 due to the 31+ minute 10-80% charge time. That's a hard pass from me - in 2026/2027 we should expect better charging speeds than that.
Hopefully Ford can do much better than that...
That's quite shocking. My EV6 gets 3.5mi/kWh at 65mph even on hilly freeways. Even driving in sport mode at 85+ mph and going up in elevation over the trip, I've never gotten below 2.5.
I agree 1000%. Large wheels with low profile tires are worse for EV range and hurt ride quality. They exist solely for appearance and I want nothing to do with them.
Honestly, for people that do a lot of longer drives (me), both things are important. Range is the difference between stopping every 90 minutes vs stopping every 120 minutes. Charging speed is the difference between those stops being 15-25 minutes vs 30-40 minutes.
Range matters: 200 miles of...
