No doubt that is true for the batteries you are using, but there are many versions of each with their own particulars. Not saying that what Ford will be using is completely immune to the problems you cite. However I do expect they won't be as sensitive, otherwise they would be mostly useless in an EV. Not many places in the US don't reach the temps you cite

Yeah there’s a lot of us who cold start our EVs in the winter when it’s 10F (-12C).

This adds uncertainty to Ford's plant. China is regulating LFP tech transfers.

Fun fact. LFP tech was invented here in the US. I’m finding it puzzling that we can’t figure out another way besides using CATL. A brief AI summary:

Funny how technology evolves and advances in the places where things are manufactured, not necessarily where they’re invented (solar cells, another classic example).
