Seems the aluminum plant fire was the key to making the decision now.
Will this extended range be a plug-in, PHEV? I really would have like that due to the limited range available of this large BEV. Battery energy density needs to go up and cost down, both 2X. Charging speed is not that bad...
Just to let others know, I passed on the Winner status, as I think @3Wliners needs someone who will give their test mat a more realistic work load compared to my current Pavement Princess uses. Good luck!

currently using the full bed rug, walls covered, shaped around cleats, etc, works well for keeping things from sliding and okay for knees. Had a drop in on a 3/4 chevy but it can cover cleats and attachment points, and now with Pro Power Onboard, openings are needed for that as well. Just the...
Hard to say, based on what I have tracked in my spreadsheet, look for Red font (link in my signature below) most multiple module failures are detected at the same time at the dealer. But there has been maybe a couple that had to go in a second time.
@Ford Motor Company wish there was an official detailed list of changes made for the various updates with a way to see the history of all these changes. Should also include information on how the app differs for each model / major component like Pro Power On Board. @TaxmanHog did you have PPOB...

SR has 4 Pouches in parallel per "cell", ER has 5 Pouches/Cell
That code usually means a bad cell in one of the 9 HV battery modules. And you are limited in power (left gauge) to 57% which is usually another confirmation of a bad cell. Find a Ford dealer with good EV tech(s)...good luck. Your 8yr 100kmile (150k km?) warranty will cover. Call Ford BEV...
