What would break under full acceleration?

[csukoh78]

Ever since I bought this truck, I often wondered under full acceleration (full WOT for ICE engines), what would "break first"? I have seen home built electric cars/trucks with way too much power bend/twist/break axles, tear apart rubber belts and etc. Could that still happen with the F150L, or is over engineered to not happen?

The asphalt.

I tap the floor boards regularly. 2 years so far and nothing broke.

One day I put the pedal to the metal and I broke wind. I could not pucker fast enough.

We had a 3 day demo truck, which I floored a few times without incident. Nice acceleration, but no drama, or parts failing.

The failures I speak of are one in a million incidents, but forums do amplify fear.

As stated by several. If your talking Stock. Nothing should break. The design team should have looked at all parts and used the weakest point to set limits on truck performance. Safety factors and defined use cases that exceed 99% of typical driver would be applied to that part, and at some point it's cheaper to limit power than to design a stronger part.

Anyone know what the parts (Battery, Motor) are capable of and has anyone found a way to use all the power we have. If we could hack the system and access the full power, I'm sure the weakest link in the mechanical design would show it's face quickly. Would likely find limits on electrical components as well.
