Nostradamus, I mean, Pioneer74's already commented here, but here is his Post from Feb. 2022 For those curious, "Batch and Hold" system means just extra quality checks as Pioneer74's comment notes, Ford does this with most (all?) new builds. Ford has been doing this for a while, found an...

In another video, a ford rep notes that they are starting with all trims. Saying they are Starting with Pro just gives ford the ability to say they totally aren't prioritizing higher trims, even though they are.

It's more sculpted (rounder) to make it easier for air to move around the truck. It's a pretty slight tweak, for an extreme you can look at the Silverado and see how round of an appearance it gives.

I think a lot of people thought by now we'd have a good sense of delivery times. But ford seems to not be updating things as expected. For ice f150, it'd be about 3 to 4 weeks after it was built for it to arrive at dealer. Chips holds would lengthen that time , but I don't think lightnings...

You're not one of the clueless watchers, fellow folsom laker :) P.s. I asked folsom lake yesterday and the guy I'm talking to didn't have any insights when they would get a demo truck.

They would certainly tow with it, but its probaly not this week, if they do it's probably for a limited time. They went to a media event, so everyone shares trucks and has limited time with it. Eventually they'll get their hands on one that they can have for a few days and test it to death.

Larry Lynch is probably one of the worst Click-baity YouTubers I've ever seen. Block his videos, the guy says anything for clicks. Just look at his YoUTube video titles, it's practically shameless: A bunch of clueless people following his videos.

That died last year and wasn't even likely to pass in the first place. At this point you're more likely to see ev credits go away altogether than to see them increase.

Would 100% expect it not to work. Even if it did, don't use it. Blue Cruise is driving the Truck, not the Truck + whatever is being towed. recipe for disaster.

Some tidbits for battery health: I may assume the reason for this is because the standard range has less buffer to get that 230 miles.

Not a great video. Still watched all of it. :)

The important bit (@ Charging )

Ford or anyone else doesn't need to. Not many people who buy a gas car and consider range as there are gas stations everywhere and it takes a couple of minutes to fill up. I couldn't tell you the range of the CX5 that I've owned for 4 years sitting in my driveway. But, I can tell you about...

When Miss GoElectric chatted w/ Plamer, he noted Okay to Buy "Today" and that they can sell them: Also annoyingly highlighting "Starting with the Pro" as if starting with something you allocated 3% of builds to overrides the fact that you only allocated 3%, and it sold out when only ~1,500...

Winter ev rate: .10 (peak .15) Summer ev rate: .12 (peak .32) Sacramento with SMUD with 5.1 solar system. Will be charging two EVs when f150 comes. Over the course of the year, I would we expect to pay a little ... With one EV, Ive got a 120 dollar credit.

Yes, "we know"... but there is a big chunk of people new to EVs that Ford keeps marketing too letting them know they can Tow, but isn't setting expectations about how much range it's going to take off.

Can it Tow? "Heck yeah it can Tow".... but you will get ~100-120 miles of usable range in 2/3 of the examples Ford gave, be at the charging station forever, and may struggle to even get into one... Leaving out the import details... There was Zero doubt it has the power to tow ever since day...

Trucks shouldn't have the steep in incline issue due to the sensors being higher, but I never driven one with sensors so not 100% sure. The other scenarios, maybe it's your driving :) as in the two other cars I've had with brake assist, they've never activated outside of needing to activate...

I'm trying to be nice and not get all "can I speak to your manager" on them :) Yah, if I lived in a cold climate, I'd go darker for any solar heat gains. In Sacramento, the average winter temp is like 60 , so it doesn't get cold :), but it's the Sunniest city on earth during the summer.

Same date, and kind of want to change. But I asked my dealer like a month ago, and they said once i got a build date, I cannot change. Seems dependent on dealer as I know others who changed theirs. I decided on iced blue for a light color to cut down on heat and so it didn't look like a...
