Making it less sporty seems to go against the 2 vehicle strategy. I'd chalk this up to trim / package differences. The version we saw was mostly locked in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re x-raying the chassis that’s a manufacturing issue not engineering. I’m sure it’s a mixture of new platform and assembly problems. Didn’t mean to imply it was 100% assembly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Lover Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 15 hours ago, J-150 said: Is the dual battery thing just 2 packs? Or is it an option of single or dual? If it's that latter is the dual battery pack for dual motors like Tesla? Regular Mach E single motor and HiPo Mach E with dual motors? I read this to be that there will be 2 ranges offered (and thus 2 different size battery packs, one for each range). As someone posted earlier, perhaps the 'standard' range is 150-200 miles, and the 'premium' range is the 300+ mile range we've heard mentioned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanh Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 ok, nothing mentioned regarding hybrid Bronco, There was a2 and 4 door there...he preferred the look of the 4 door, but was open that it may have just been color. Other tid bits...BIG wheel and tire option. Mach E starts at 45k gos up to 60 ish. ( forgive me if I mentioned that before ...just a reflection of my excitement...my story and im sticking to it ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

averagengineer Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Mach E will have 2 battery backs, one will be 300 mile long range and the other most likely 3/4 if the long range pack. 45K starting for Mach E? Sigh i was hoping 39-40k starting, 45k is out my price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen it as an adjective - I was a Principal System Engineer and Principal Network Planning Engineer and most technical jobs have a Principal level. But that’s different than calling someone dealer Principal as a noun. Although I guess that’s exactly the same as a school Principal now that I think about it. Still sounds silly to me.

Keep in mind that some states also don't charge sales tax on BEVs and you'll save about $100 a month or more in not buying gas-though I'd think your electric bill would go up if your doing home charging. But also you could also get solar (with a tax write off also), but that would be another expense, but wouldn't have to pay for electric in most cases.

Mach E...two battery packs, starting around 45k...0-60 sub 3.5. Good stuff is a coming....probably only a matter of time before hazy photos are released...someone you KNOW snuck some shots when dealer principals were at the meet. To put this in perspective, do we know when Ford has/will conduct these additional dealer meetings in which someone might theoretically be naughty and take a few pics?

I think he said he gets 300 miles per charge. It takes 12 hours to get to a full charge. It costs .18 cents an hour to charge. So, if you do 12 hour charges daily you're spending $2.18 a day to charge. Thats @ $64 a month. Edited September 30, 2019 by K270 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
