Agreed. F150 Lightning owners here in Minnesota will be surprised by the lack of range during the winter months or when driving 75-80mph on the freeway. My ‘15 Tesla reads 235 miles of range at full charge and I can’t trust it for more than 145 miles during the winter months. Luckily our cabin...
Allotments matter and larger dealers obviously have more but from the Bronco reservation fiasco, who is selected to get a vehicle and when seems to be very random or follows a formula that only a few Ford executives are privy to.
I reserved a Ford Bronco in the first seven days after Ford...
There are lots of unknowns with the supply chain. Certainly batteries for EV's will be a constraint the next few years. I like your estimate of 85,000 F150 Lightnings produced by the end of 2023 which means more than half of the reservation holders are waiting more than two years from now for...
The Mach-e has acceptable charge times but those coming from an ICE vehicle that take long trips will have some adjusting to do waiting for 40+ minutes so they can drive another 150-200 miles. The new Porsche/Audi/VW 800v system seems like the best option for those who drive long distances but...
Here's an article on real world Mach E charge rates. In this example, 38 minutes to go from 29% to 81% charge. The F150L will take longer because it has a larger battery and being less aerodynamic, requires more Kw per mile...
I will be shocked if it doesn't lose 50% when towing a larger load. I lose over 50% when towing my boat(7,400 lbs with trailer) behind my 2018 diesel Range Rover that has the optional F150 Ford Lion engine. I get 28-29 mpg during normal driving and about 14mpg while towing and I tow at lower...
