When I leased my Lightning, they offered $500 credit or the Power Promise. I took the $500 off my lease total and bought an Emporia refurbished charger for $372 and wired it in myself. Money ahead. But I prefer DIY methods. Do some research on the third party that Ford used for this and some...

I have the fogging issue every once in a while on my Lightning. As mentioned, it's when relative humidity outside is very high. But I absolutely hated the Tesla Model 3 that I drove and the software overriding the settings that I picked on a long road trip. It drove me crazy enough that I...

I personally don't like this. I hope that this vehicle still feels like a Ford and not 100% like a Tesla. @rileyfromford are you listening? For the record, I'm not against Tesla. I just don't want a Model 3 experience from an infotainment and HVAC controls perspective. I want it to still feel...

You know something the rest of us don't that happens on approximately December 1st?

For Fathoms? Or just car sales in general?

Amen

Show me several dozen threads and I'll stop calling you out... My only issue is your over-exaggeration. Just be accurate. No one comes to a forum and tells the world that there's nothing wrong with their truck. Statistically, the repairs versus the trucks that are on the road that have no...

As a current Lightning owner, and an active participant on that forum, I find this post inaccurate and misleading. No one has a completely bricked truck. It might be at a dealer waiting for parts, but it's not unrecoverable. It's not a Fisker Ocean....

I'm not saying they're not going to give any information until the order guide is released. I'm just saying that I'm going to take everything I hear with a grain of salt until I see it in the order guide and how that corresponds to how you order an actual vehicle.

I am curious about your question and if Ford will follow it's traditional XL, XLT, Lariat, Platinum convention for trims. Or of they abandon it on favor of something different. It feels like Ford is trying to reach a different demographic with the Fathom than your traditional Ford truck buyer...

Not to single out Bob, but these are the posts I will remember and bring back from the dead when Ford releases actual battery range numbers. We have a pretty good idea it's a 57 kwh LFP pack for standard range. 300 miles divided by 57 kwh equals 5.2 miles per kwh... This is why I think you're...

I think the current crop of EVs and their design choices to eliminate actual door handles and other tech-forward choices have really hurt their ability to reach widespread adoption. This thread is a good example of old-school buyers who are interested but are turned off by certain design...

Immediately turned off 1 pedal driving in my Lightning. Way too strong on deceleration and no way to adjust. Ford, just give buyers the option to turn on and off 1 pedal depending on preference. But I do love the Auto-hold feature.

Edit: Might have to eat my words. Thanks for posting.

I think overall for the entire EV market, the challenge selling new ones is the great value a used EV is right now.

By that logic, wouldn't the single motor, Rear wheel drive variant also need the structure? Difference being on a Maverick the "single motor" option is front wheel drive. It's the opposite on the Fathom.

Anyone familiar with the electronic door handles on a Fisker Ocean? They fail and literally trap you inside. Very interesting rabbit hole if you care to learn about the open source project for Fisker owners after bankruptcy. Anyway, firmly in the camp of cable operated door handles over...

You make an interesting point. The cell size is currently unknown for the Fathom, bur we can look at current market offerings in LifePO4 cells for a comparison. A 48v nominal battery in LifePO4 chemistry requires 16 cells in series. One LifPO4 cells is 3.2v nominal. 16 x 3.2v equals 51.2...

Good info and comparison to Tesla 48 volt battery from Cybertruck. Expensive to replace. But no economy of scale versus a 12v lead acid ecosystem that's been around for almost a 100 years.

Unlikely 😆
