I'm just being real here, relying on their past performance. I get it, some people want to enjoy whatever high this triggered in them, but let's come back to reality here.
Past performance?

They’ve already delivered on almost every promise that was made.

Sure there are a few “yet to come,” but I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

My guess is an OTA upgrade to 800v architecture
Yeah, can't wait for that update. It should coincide with OTA APIM CPU upgrade. Not sure if we'll get the OTA CPU or RAM upgrade first. Everyone should download more RAM, helps out a lot.

The biggest complaint I observe in this forum is the sudden power drop. In months of ownership, I have only observed this once. Most of the time, I can accelerate hard exactly once, and then I am in traffic. ? I definitely think a more gradual power dip will fix 90% of the issue with usability. When a competitive product was first introduced, thermal mgt was one of the three big issues. I have no doubt full power from 0-60 was a key goal for the MME…metrics matter. HVBJB is likely the biggest issue as it is heat-trapped and size-constrained. To handle 1000 Amps for a continuous period requires bigger contactors, traces, and surface area on connectors. The question is how much heat can you put in every part of that component before failure? You can’t just measure the heat and call it a day, you really need to produce failure modes that don’t kill customers. That’s a bad thing (tm). Unfortunately, HVBJB-gate helped a lot with some failure modes. They identified weak points, and now need to find the next ones without frying customers’ cars. Maybe they should sign up the EA crew for that? <dons nomex Suit :D>. I could not have waited for a perfect product from Ford. I’m having lots of fun with what I bought. Yeah I feel a bit duped, but only after 5 seconds. I am going to mention again how much I appreciate the 21 and 22 owners. Your experience made my 23 an enjoyable product. Bring on the Power-ups!

I think some watching are endowed with far too much wishful thinking. All I heard was political hot air. Ford has complete data on every single one of our vehicles. Hundreds of thousands of them, all of the data points. They're not going to change anything in these regards and people believing anything but are just kidding themselves.

Yup, they’ll increase it to 5.5 seconds as part of the upcoming frunk update scheduled sometime in 2027.
I thought they slated the frunk button for the 27th of November in twenty-twenty-never. Unless you’re @Jimrpa then it would just be never since they have his FordPass account locked out in hard code. ??

Tom Moloughney of State of Charge interviewed Darren Palmer and asked him about the thermal management on the Mach E and GT.

Palmer responded: "We do throttle after a certain period of time, um, the power to the wheels, so that's something we can control over the air and we are going to change that limit. We've done that on testing to make sure the vehicle lasts the way it is expected for the customers..."

Tom's interview (throttling portion at 7:50)
He’s definitely NOT a reliable source. Where’s the frunk release we’ve been repeatedly promised ?

we need a thread on over under bets...

  • Before or after October 1?
  • longer or shorter than 8 seconds total?
  • same or different level of throttling when it kicks in? (I don't think we have an objective measure for this)
Well I can guarantee you it won't happen before September, because I'm scheduled for a track school day in my GT later in August :p

Will this happen before or after we get the electric frunk-release enabled on '21 Job 1's?

As I try to temper my expectations…

LETS GO! INJECT THIS STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINS!!

Also my wife will hate me if this is true
I don't think any wife should complain about a 2 second increase.

I’m guessing before since the frunk update is so freakin’ hard to do OTA compared to the other changes. It’s like 12 minutes via FDRS. ??
