I sure learn a lot from this forum. Just today I looked up and learned what hard points and a flat-plane crankshaft are.

Frank Markus, the former technical editor at Car and Driver, commented on these results:   The next time you’re at a dinner party or gathering and someone hauls out that old “EV batteries don’t last” myth, you can help set the record straight—EVs seem to be holding up way better than the doubters predicted.

It could possibly be a Solterra body (or Toyota equivalent)?  Maybe Toyota's working on an EV 4-runner type thing?         They've obviously Frankensteined that front wheel well to add more length for a longer hood, but some of the other details match closer than other models I've looked at...

Ford 'Heavy' truck (650/750) sales are down over 46% for October, the steady sales decline for these trucks over the couple of years seems to be increasing.  Nonetheless, there will be a 2028MY introduced first quarter next year.  Not sure about changes, if any.  Per the UAW contract, the 650 and 750 should continue into 2028.  Originally Ford had scheduled a new EV commercial van for Avon Lake for sometime around 2028, but those plans have changed to a small 'affordable' gas/hybrid commercial van now scheduled for 2029.  Work continues on the Avon Lake plant expansion.    

I understand why they priced it the way they did.   I'm saying that pricing, especially vs. what they announced at launch, is a factor in why it didn't do well.   The Fathom approach should go a long way to reducing Ford's EV pricing internally and externally.

The trend in battery pack costs since that spike in 2022 and 2023 has been consistently downward. By 2030, prices are forecast to be two fifths of what they were in 2022.   Ford is in a great position to bring affordable, technologically advanced, high quality EV to the masses over the next several years and do so profitably with Fathom and other new EV models. Including a second gen pure EV F-150 Lightning, hopefully.      

Top speed is 25mph.

Pricing is what it is.  They were still losing money.  Batteries are expensive and covid made everything 25% more expensive.  

Sadly yes.  And calling their state legislators to stop it.
