I have a 2.7L V6 Bronco and I get about 21 mpg with my commute to work or about 400 miles per tank.    Outside of someone living in an apartment that doesn’t offer charging or some other situation like that, don’t think 300 miles range is an issue at all if you can plug it in overnight.    The range issue boils down to operating a vehicle in a different way then people are use to.

300 miles is plenty of range for an entry level low cost model.  Just like a smaller engine in an ICE vehicle.  Want more range/power?  Buy the upgrade.     There are many EVs currently on the market with less than 300 mile range.  

The truth is a perfect defense.....  😂

Looks pretty good I hope it comes to the US.  Borg is saying it isn't but taking what he says with a grain of salt

Yea, LFP (which is one of several lithium-ion battery chemistries) typically has better longevity and safety but lower energy density than NMC (which is what both my family's Ford EVs use for their high voltage batteries).   I agree that Ford is smart to utilize LFP battery chemistry for its upcoming CE1 products. LFP is also well suited to battery energy storage systems (BESS), which is a business that Ford is now in. 😎  

That's a rare occurrence. The typical outcome of buying an EV, whether above, at, or below $80k, is that the customer likes it a lot.    The big shots at JD Power said this in their recent EV customer satisfaction study:   Overall satisfaction among current battery electric vehicle (BEV) owners is at its highest level since the study’s inception in 2021. Notably, nearly all owners of new BEVs (96%) say they would consider purchasing or leasing another BEV for their next vehicle.   Improvements in battery technology, charging infrastructure and overall vehicle performance have driven customer satisfaction to its highest level ever. What’s more, the vast majority of current EV owners say they will consider purchasing another EV for their next vehicle, regardless of whether they benefited from the now-expired federal tax credit.    

So, you're privy to the unreleased charging and range specs? Do tell.   With the pricing Ford has hinted at, most will be bought as the 2nd car in two-car households so charge times will be somewhat irrelevant,

Yes, cold weather definitely affects ICE engines, the difference being you can fill a gas vehicle in 5 minutes. 

It's a wild theory, and like a lot of theories I've had, it could be wrong. But I believe the super truck was a preview of the t3 design. Kinda like how Ford used a off-road race truck to preview what the bronco was gonna look like.    My reasoning is if you look at other Ford demonstrators, they have wild, insane areo, but they're also clearly inspired by their production cars. The mach-e 1400 still looks like a mach-e, the transit supervan looks like the electric transit in Europe. But the super truck looks nothing like the lighting.   It's possible the lightning design was so inefficient that they had to start over for this one off project. But if you look at the super truck, a lot of the general proportions and shapes align with how t3 was described. Things like having a much shorter, and slanted hood lines up exactly with how the styling for t3 was described.
