They can’t have a set installation cost since each installation will be different.
Don't forget that Mach E is only 90 MPGe, and F150 is heavier/bigger than Rivian. Rivian can only reach 71 MPGe.
own a tesla and youll quickly see this will not help. If they quote 330 miles range, never ever ever will you see 300 regardless of how you drive.
I can echo this
Theoretically I can get to NYC and back on a single charge in decent temps. In reality I know I'm going to be charging at the end of the Merrit Pkwy crossing back onto 91. Sigh.
That's a Tesla thing. Tesla range is overly optimistic, while Ford's is overly pessimistic. I easily get get 320 miles on my MME, even though the official range is 270. This is city driving. I don't expect to see 30% increase at highway speeds.
Depends on time of year and location. We routinely get rated miles in South Florida, not so much in Virginia. Also depends on how you drive. But it isn't hard at all to get 325 miles out of our 325-mile rated 2019 MX if driven to get that. I don't do so often, but when I try, it is there without effort.
The folks on the road tour could not speak definite prices but were hinting at $10k step up for ER battery which includes the 80A charger and the backup power inverter.Good point - I think it is only a $10K adder on the Pro for those who would actually be able to buy that. $7K on XLT and Lariat. FREE for Platinum
Considering they're already testing Pro's on the road and that fleet sales are opening this year, it would be a sales strategy and not due to a parts or manufacturing shortage.
My guess is the ER battery is +$7k for all models except the Pro, which will eventually get it for $10k.

I got rated efficiency in my Model 3 on interstate trips in good weather (and lifetime efficiency), but I agree with your point that Ford is generally notably more conservative with their estimates.
Lightning might get 460 if you only drove in the city, and only downhill, and no load. That being said, I can see that in my case I could get 320-350 range with the bigger battery. Still I am ready to make a prediction that a year from now we'll see many threads here complaining that the range is only 230 and is it possible that Ford gave me the wrong battery.
I take it you have been visiting the Mach-e forums. That is a daily thread there. No one wants to believe cold weather range reduction.
It's a daily new thread there. I still think most people know and understand this, but a significant minority is completely clueless. They also don't understand that remaining range display is just an estimate and is dynamic.
