One thing miss d in this thread is subscriptions. Farley has stated that they want subscriptions and only Ford dealers.being able to work on their new vehicles.
In the video linked below, the creator makes the case from reading the fine print that the Fathom is going to be "a subscription...
It appears if that was actual temp, then thermal runaway would have occurred. A Google search yielded the below but with a actual citation that I did not watch. So being AI, take it for what it's worth, but I would certainly be getting legal involved ASAP. if temps were real, then FORD needs to...
First, I agree you need either a buyback, or a NEW battery pack and coolant system.
With that said, I have a hard believing that was actual temp. IMHO that hvb would be completely inoperable if not exploded. Thermo runaway would seem certain IMHO at that temp.
Well no kidding. I said if our batteries could take a continuous 400 kwh charge rate. I.e. they can not,
I was using the 131 kwh battery as an example to show 400 kwh is fast enough, that the current batteries except a.cpuple of Chinese batteries are the real limit.
FWIW a steady 400.kwh charge is is.more than fast enough. The problem is current batteries (outside of certain Chinese batteries) can't maintain that rate. If our ER batteries could maintain 400 kwh for 80% or 105 kwh (dead to 80%), then that would work out to 15 minutes 45 seconds. Rare.was.a...
I'm in a 23 XLT SR, and my bluebook trade has bounced about $5K since last September.About half that since orange boy started the Iran War that he can't get out of.
Also be aware your home/office must have the available power. Many homes are provisioned with 100 AMPS,and that won't cut it for a.80 AMP charger. 200 AMP is a maybe depending on what else is installed and their potential power draw.
I would drive a Rivian, but new is too expensive, used might be an option, but the nearest service center is 200 miles away. Then there are many innovative things about the R1T, that just looks like $$$ to keep up. Lastly R1's have two 12V batteries that ARE NOT EASY TO CHANGE. Cost about...
I'll give them the benefit of doubt, as they are starting from Zero and launching hundreds to possibly a thousand or more sites at once. Not surprising a detail like that could be missed, as this is farrrr less critical than literally thousands of other items. Big positive is they are changing...
As for the cables on the wrong side, they have publicly stat they will be switching those around in the coming months. Also adding credit card readers, which are already active at some locations.
Yeap, this is pretty much what I expected from Fords 10 year "commitment". Worth as much as the paper it was written on in my phone.
I.e. there is no paper in my phone that I'm writing this on.....
