Seems like some good changes happened but what happened to Adding the Tesla Nacs for charging and it seemed a little silly to delete the USB plugs in the Frunk. What was that a 50 cent option.

My take on the battery change is that they belatedly realized that going with the SR battery was a mistake. It's my view they should have gone with the ER battery for all trims regardless from the beginning. I knew when I ordered (having driven a '21 MME for almost a year) that the ER battery in the truck I was ordering was the minimum I would want...and still I'm hopeful that they can somehow work a way to get at least another 50-75 miles range out of what they can fit into that battery pack size.

Ford is still struggling to nickel and dime you on the simple features - just include them. WAL, etc.

Offer two packages, middle of the road and loaded. Maybe make the unbearable hot sunroof an option or get it built right with decent sun protection.

According to that, the e-locker is still packaged with Max Towing package, which is not what I saw in another thread.

The two battery size options are so close in size now. I wonder why Ford made this odd choice?
So close the difference is only the 1 module the big ER 131kWh gets vs the 123kWh... but this is great in comparison to the 93kWh. I'm sure its a savings by scale thing, but 8kWh isn't any small capacity either.

They just took what they were already doing with the flash and brought it down to the rest of the line.

Assuming a person could get a fleet Pro does anyone have a ruff idea of the cost difference between a fleet Pro and a STX?

If I was going to be locked in to HAVING to get the ER battery, it would have made it unaffordable for me...and i would not be here, or driving a fantastic truck now...
