Did Ford change the motors or throttle response for 2024?

Is this confirmed? Did they put them in an ER lightning yet?

That's 452hp vs the 580hp of the ER. The ER has about 28% more ponies, that would be noticeable.

But it’s carrying what 400 extra lbs between the big battery and mandatory pano roof on the lariats ? It’s going to affect acceleration and the torque is the same

Does your new Flash have different/larger wheels? That could affect acceleration.

XLT SR is 13.3lbs/hp
Lariat ER is 11.4 lbs/hp

The ER has a 16% edge on lbs/hp. I would notice that I think.

With acceleration from a full stop in an EV (no gears, no motor revving) torque is the quantity that matters and is maximum instantaneously. Once the vehicle gets moving (has motor rpm's) then HP matters. So the ER battery has a greater towing capacity for example because of the higher HPs.

But motor control curves in EVs can change how much torque is used (by controlling applied motor voltage).

Mine is back to normal after a weird night, just after the BC upgrade dropped. No idea what it was....

I have the 2024... It has a LFP long range battery...

Then torque is what gets you going , in the SR is noticeably lighter with the same amount of torque instantly off the line, I would think it would be very similar out of the hole if anything the lighter truck may jump if traction is available , once moving the larger Battery higher horsepower truck is gonna start to have an advantage, and that advantage will grow as the speed increases it overcomes its extra weight and the added horsepower starts to make a big difference

Torque is exactly that, the amount of force. HP is that force over time.

The higher horsepower does the job quicker. The fact that the weight per hp is less in the ER tells me that all things equal, the ER will always beat the SR in a race. If both trucks had the same amount of HP then you would see the SR win because it is lighter.

The other big factor here as you mentioned are the tires. My big bulky a/t tires are no match off the line for the more nimble all season street tires.

Yes, so as Heliian said, the lighter truck with equivalent torque MIGHT (theoretically) be quicker off the line but lose in a longer distance race. Of course, other factors such as traction/grip also play into it. My guess would be that assuming identical tires/inflation pressures, any acceleration difference would be minimal, until the trucks really get moving, when horsepower starts to matter.
