Iām a bit less worried about feature deletes here than on a conventional vehicle architecture like the C2 Maverick, mainly because most of it is in software on the main processor as opposed to individual physical modules that can be left out for cost savings.
The only real savings possible...
Loosing your order to a train derailment happens more often than one would think⦠Over at the Maverick forum were pictures of 5 derailed cars loaded with new Mavericks when they were hard to get. They were forklifting them into disposal bins⦠very sad to watchš¢
Interesting gameā¦
Flight length is 72 minutes, which could indicate 72 weeks from Feb 17 2026 to launch date (July 2027).
Or could be 72ā cargo length with mid gate down (or tailgate open)
(it better not be 72 minutes charge time!!!)
Thereās probably some performance number in there too...
I think it is a simple case of the āmissing middleā.
Most of those Lightning buyers wanted an EV, but thought the Mach-E was too small for their general needs, so they moved up to the only other Ford choice, the Lightning. I expect very few of the original pick-up driver target market actually...
Iām waiting to see if Ford decided to dump the AM/FM radio, as some others have done.
Both Tesla and Rivian have eliminated the radio in favour of internet connected radio apps, which are dependent on cellular connections and subject to injected advertising or subscriptions.
I canāt believe...
