Yes, real world data is definitely needed.

Remember, EV battery capacity never reaches 100% full charge or 0% discharge.
Due to SOC buffers built in to protect the cells, the vehicle will never get to use 100% of the battery.

Theoretically, my 72kWh battery in my Mach E, with 230 mile range it should get 3.2 mi/kWh but not even close due to the SOC buffers on both ends.

In real life, it's a lot less.
FWIW the 63 kWh is what SLATE is saying is the usable capacity... the actually battery spec is 65 kWh total; if you believe google.

Yeah, it always varies. I haven’t found Slate to play fast and loose with their numbers so far. Remember when they advertised 150 miles for the old “standard range” option? No one would do that in the US market unless they were serious…

  • Deep Apple Maps integration baked directly into the vehicle — not phone mirroring, actually embedded in the stack — and it's also what powers the next-gen BlueCruise on-ramp to off-ramp handling, that will also be available with Fathom.
Oh hey. So if Apple Maps is the primary vehicle map system, can it now handle trailer-optimized routing?

I think the F-150 can have trailer towing navigation:

Ranchero EV Pickup Truck It is not Ranchero. It is Ford Fathom™. $28,350 Starting Price f150-trailer-towing-navigation

Fathom's $30K base sounds like it won't have the extra camera for hitching and the trailer computation mode.

Lightning has trailer mode w/ class IV towing up to 10,000 lbs; something the Fathom won't have.

It may be estimated by Apple Maps.....
