F-150 fleet sale to mining, road work etc vs Escape sales to rental markets are two completely different markets I'd guess that the Explorer PI is fairly lucrative for them

I'd hope they go with beach/ocean themed colors to go along with the name. A nice deep blue metallic would be nice

But if that happened, you'd have to spend even more money on outfitting it. The thing the CVPI had going for it was it was the same car for 20 years more or less and equipment could be just transferred to it and maintenance was a well known and didn't require mechanics to get retrained regularly. I'm going to guess that the current Explorer will have an extended run to a point because its being used as a PI to help with expenses or what ever succeeds it will be as backwards compatible with mounting equipment. Also I'm pretty willing to assume that the Mustang is much more cramped for a driver then the Explorer is also, so I don't see the sedan being able to make a major change to that.

I can see dealerships trying to be dicks with ADMs when they first come out, but if its successful, supply will ruin that ability

I did? Man must be getting old 😛

This just dawned on me, we are missing the van that is going to OHAP as part of Ford Pro.

Nah I think some early adaptor EV owners where/are pretentious because they look at the vehicle as an extension of themselves and think they are doing something better then other drivers out there, sorta like how hybrids where with the Prius-it was a status symbol till it wasn't. So with going on what Borg is saying, no AWD option for it?

Some of those sensors would be used for other things like collision pre assist, lane keeping and Cruise control that are already found on lower end products like the Bronco Sport and I guess Maverick. I'm guessing Ford is looking at how they can combine these sensor packages to make them cheaper/easier to replace.

I wouldn't say that- Slate pickup: 4000-4300 (suv) (65-63 kwh battery) Mach E: 4,398 pounds to 4,993 pounds (72kwh battery on the low end) I'd expect that the Fathom will be very close to the Slate, given how much care Ford has been putting into improving the range without a bigger battery.

Your missing the point-some of these options can be added because this will be a software defined vehicle-they won't need additional subsystems to work like they currently do now on other products. Outside of the midgate, I don't think that those other things add all that much weight and or cost to the vehicle.

Everest?

it was AI generated LOL

Using the Slate as an example: From what I can find what Ford is using in the UEV: Not sure how much difference between the two are, but Ford is really pushing the Aerodynamics end of things with the Fathom, so if they are using same battery or if this prismatic battery is slightly better, maybe you'll see a a roughly 15%/30-50 mile increase over the Slate if using the same battery size.

To the best of my knowledge, Dean works at just a Ford dealership, so I'd assume Ford only. Lincoln would hopefully get 2-3 products in the same time frame.

The other thing could be a sedan/hatchback/whatever version of the the CE1 platform but that wouldn't come till 2030 IMO.

Figured I start this thread since the old 30K EV thread is just a mess of information and I'd like to keep it cleaner going forward since its name has been officially released. So six new products coming, what I was able to come with: Ford Fathom Midsize EV Truck C Class EV CUV (Ford Escape) Mustang Sedan F-100 (Ranger Super Duty/Ranger Replacement in NA) Mid sized CUV (Edge replacement) ? Update as of August 12th, 2026 with refreshed/updated products 2027MY Ford Fathom Midsized EV Pickup* 2028.5MY Bronco Sport (assuming this is related to the EU Bronco product) 2029MY F-150 2030MY "F-100/F-100 Super Duty"/Affordable pickup/Ford Pro product (based on production starting at TTP in 2029)* 2030MY "Escape"-$25K Hybrid Utility based on the Maverick * 2030MY Mustang Mach 4/Sedan and Coupe * 2030/31MY EREV launch for the F-series 2031MY Bronco/Bronco Pickup (lines up with expected EOP) ????MY Ford Pro Van product? * *=New Product, Product names in quotes are placeholders till actual name is released.

Hopefully people will buy it. Your removing a big obstacle/excuse for people NOT to buy one. I personally have no interest in it or buying one (I'd get a Mach E or Mustang Sedan before this) but I'm excited to see how it does and what comes next with it.

One downside to the name, a friend mentioned this to me when I shared it to them on Instagram...oh I thought it was some sort of movie event at a movie theater https://www.fathomentertainment.com/

So yeah the Slate is DOA with a starting costing $28K

LOL Yeah I saw the typo as you posted this

Guess I was right LOL

Your making my point for me by saying that but if the company making that said product isn't making money on it to invest into it, what is the point for them continue doing it? the CVPI was successful because it barely changed but did they actually make money off it that made it worthwhile to keep the investment into it? Nope Ford can sell $55K plus Explorers in addition to how ever much the PI goes for these days.
