A few more:
  • Power tailgate that can be activated from the cab, fob, and app.
  • Spare tire option. A can of sealant doesn't work if the tire has too much damage, and I've saved more weight by losing weight than a spare tire would take up.
  • In-bed storage locker, similar to the Ridgeline. Could be where you put the aforementioned spare tire.
  • Auto-dim mirrors.

When I had a '22 Lightning, it had a power tailgate, spare tire, in bed storage options, and auto dim mirrors but it costed $67,000.

My current '23 Mach E has a power tailgate, no spare but it has an inflator/sealer kit but has auto dim mirrors priced at $54,000.

Fathom at $28,350 might have auto dim mirrors but no spare tire unless you buy a compact or full size spare or other bed options.

When it comes time for tires, I will replace mine as I always do with Run Flat Tires that negate the need for an inflator kit or having to pull over immediately.

+1 on the spare tire. Our BOLTs had them, our Escape PHEV has one, our MAV has one. I keep one in the trunk in our Ioniq 6. I have no interest in being stranded if I get a sidewall puncture, even with roadside assistance, if you don't have a spare they just tow the car to a dealer if you can't fix-a-flat it. That would really suck if you get a blow-out on a Saturday evening.

I really hope the Fathom has a space for a spare, even a space-saver, under the bed or even in the frunk if need be.
