  1. Ford Fathom Auto show appearances/demo drive availability before delivery

    The Mach-E was revealed a couple of days before the LA Auto Show in 2019. At the show, they let you get in if you had put in a reservation ($500 refundable). I wanted to get in but I didn't want to put down $500 at the time. But the guy at the booth should me how easy it was to cancel ane...
  2. New video & photos: Ford Fathom in the Wild (Las Vegas detour during hot weather testing)

    We're scheduled to attend both so I hope you are right. I'm leaning more towards the Detroit Auto Show or a separate Ford only event sometime after that. I think Jim Farley and Bill Ford really think this is a game changer for Ford. With that level of importance, it seems like something they'd...
  3. Summary of releases and some speculation by evchargingstations.com the Las Vegas Release.

    The 51 kWh is all based on what InsideEVs published right after the Model T Moment announcement last year. At the time, no one else said anything about. Every other news source that was there (including us), heard Jim Farley, Doug Field, and Alan Clarke defer all questions about battery size. I...
  4. New video & photos: Ford Fathom in the Wild (Las Vegas detour during hot weather testing)

    They've been saying a reveal is in early 2027 but I wouldn't be surprised if they drive this around DTLA during the LA Auto Show.
  5. Buying out of state & registering in California

    Yep, pretty much all states have a requirement to register with 30 or 60 days. The "fix it" tickets are relatively cheap but then you have to go to a judge and swear as to the date the car came into the state. The Montana plates were a real problem for awhile but I think they solved a lot of it...
  6. Buying out of state & registering in California

    Just as a cautionary tale for anyone buying out-of-state and then moving the car to CA: We bought our 2022 Mach-E in Colorado in July 2022. In Colorado, if you are trading in a car, you only pay sales tax on the difference between the trade-n and the new car price. Because we had a 2021 Mach-E...
  7. Reactions from 6 Ford plant employees upon seeing the Fathom EV truck / Ford Universal EV Platform

    They haven't said much about the software except that Apple Maps with be the native navigation system. I asked Doug Field at the "Model T Moment" event in Louisville about the software tech. He wouldn't say anything at all except, "It's going to be great." At CES in January, they talked a new...
  8. Reactions from 6 Ford plant employees upon seeing the Fathom EV truck / Ford Universal EV Platform

    We met a couple of them at LAP last year. We tried to get them to say more but they wouldn't say anything at all. They (and other employees) at LAP did talk about how excited they were for the new assembly process because it should be a lot easier for the workers. And they were really excited...
  9. X-Plan pricing for Fathom

    They won't announce if the Fathom is excluded until probably Fall of 2027. But, we bought both of our Mach-Es using X-Plan in 2021 and 2022. They usually only exclude more rare vehicles like the GT500.
  10. Ford Fathom on Track: Universal EV Production Comes to Life at Louisville Assembly Plant (LAP)

    When we took the tour of the EV DC back in April, we asked about repairability. They said they took that into account in the design. They made so the large castings have "cut lines." If there is an accident, they can be cut and a new section can be put in its place. This is something they...
  11. Ford Fathom on Track: Universal EV Production Comes to Life at Louisville Assembly Plant (LAP)

    Yeah, I tried the Morse code angle but didn't find anything meaningful either.
  12. Ford Fathom on Track: Universal EV Production Comes to Life at Louisville Assembly Plant (LAP)

    I think it is without the front in the pic above. This one... I'm not sure. This one shows more of the rear.
  13. Ford Fathom on Track: Universal EV Production Comes to Life at Louisville Assembly Plant (LAP)

    Very cool to see the progress! I can't believe we were they just 1 year ago and they were cranking out Escapes at the time.
  14. Idle speculation video.

    Inspired by @rileyfromford! All the speculation is fun. I sorta wish I would have included the boarding pass in the video as well.
  15. Tin Foil Hat Post

    I think I figured out 3555. The address of Ford's EV DC is 3555 E Conant St, Long Beach, CA 90808. @Liv thinks Hugh E. Vee is for UEV.
