I find it odd that ford continues to hide the shape of the fathoms front end, even trying to make it look like a traditional truck by raising the hood. With a design that doesnāt look like your typical truck, youād think theyād want to show it off to get people used to it, not make people think...
I canāt imagine them not showing it at the LA Auto Show. Especially with all the California references theyāve been throwing out there. Itās at the end of November so itās basically 2027 lol.
I agree, I think thereās extra padding on the bed to make it look tall and extra camo covering part of the windows. It will probably still have a high belt line, but not as extreme as we see on these.
This goes for any ford š¤£. if thereās ever a recall (which there will be many), be prepared to wait months or years for the parts to be available. I canāt even remember how long Iāve been waiting on parts for both my fordās.
I think we are interpreting his comments differently. He explicitly states he knows the range, and then says 200 is the goal. He qualifies this by stating he believes itās been released publicly. I interpret this as he accidentally let the SR battery range slip, especially since they switch to...
No CarPlay ultra. Was hoping we might see that on this vehicle. One of the features I liked most about ultra was that it could also use the IP screen, but if rumors are true that the fathom doesnāt have an IP, then itās not that big of a loss.
I believe he was commenting on my post about the speculation that it would be around 38k fully loaded.
We already know that the fathom comes standard with rwd and a standard range battery for $29,945 and will be well equipped. On most EVs, the AWD option is around 3k and the extended range...
I mean everything is speculation at this point, even the fully loaded price coming in well below mid 30ās. With the base price being 30k, thereās no way you are getting awd and extended range battery for 3k more. Maybe one or the other, but not both. I wonāt complain if itās true š, just doesnāt...
Previous speculation had the fully loaded price closer to $38k. In my opinion, āWell below mid 30āsā would be in the 32-33k range. I donāt see how thatās possible if you are including awd and extended battery. Iād guess awd will be 2-3k by itself and then the extended range will be somewhere in...
I think one of the ways ford is reducing the cost is by using smaller LFP batteries. Smaller batteries equal lower price, but also decrease range. So ford is also adding more aerodynamic designs to the UEV vehicles. So smaller battery and aero design equals the same range as bigger battery with...
Exactly. Plus this vehicle is highly dependent on a smaller battery and aerodynamics to make it affordable and still have decent range, so you could see an even bigger drop in range if you mess with the aerodynamics.
I also think the fathom isnāt going after your average truck buyer. Farley has...
We discussed in another thread, but the door handles are supposed to be similar to the mach e and the handles you see in the spy photos are fake. Guess we wonāt know for sure until they show it to us.
I for one dont mind the mach e door handles, however Iād much rather have a mechanical handle...
Since itās sounding like thereās only gonna be one trim, Iām guessing active x seats are standard, and will come in a light and dark color. Maybe ebony and light space gray?
Here is the ford Aeros that was cancelled at the last minute right before production. It also had the same style handles, so we know ford was at least willing to give them another shot.
So the speculation has been that those are fake. They look pretty flimsy and if you look close, they arenāt straight.
in this image, you can even see a bulge under the camo right where you would expect the mach e style handle to be.
And in this image, you donāt even see the fake door handles...
Agreed. I donāt understand this trend of electronic door handles. Keep it simple and safe. I also donāt understand why everyone thinks EVs need to be minimalist on the inside. I need a separate IP screen. I need physical buttons. Sure, itās cheaper to put everything on one screen, but adding a...
