It is not the $100 fee to hold the reservation.
I was hoping for a little more range, don't forget, in the winter temps that range will be noticeably less.
I just figured that is was looking like a couple of model years out and decided to step back and see where things are in 2 or 3 years...
Very true but Ford is already very heavy in the new battery systems. The are breaking ground on their own production plant now in TN. Toyota has a working SSB system and Japan has investing billions into construction of the production plants now.
Lithium production is having hard time keeping...
