PREMiERdrum Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I was just discussing this with Adam privately. Yes, the figures released were... ahem... conservative. Also expect a progression as trucks hit the street: Announcement range to real world range to OTA updated range. The hardware already there can support a lot more than what they're letting out now. I think some will have to be tweaked as they study real world usage and system demand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some will have to be tweaked as they study real world usage and system demand. Also not a bad idea to sandbag numbers at announcement to let the competition (mainly GM) rest on their laurels and think "we got this" only to announce a bigger number at production/launch. It's also something we've seen Ford do often - announce "targeted" numbers, and then real numbers end up being higher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty much SOP the last few product cycles. Masterful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Ford learning the winning strategy of exceeding expectation while keeping competitors guessing... I like this newer side of Ford, delivering products that are desirable with many forward orders..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
