I've seen you mention that before, and I was wondering: Is it the max continuous rate just like electrical code wiring, i.e., you can run 80% of the rated current if you intend to run it for longer than 3 hours, or is it the "absolute" maximum? Hope that makes sense.
My math might be a little fuzzy, but why do they have to open 12-15 sec to see a 11.7-11.9 sec 1/4 mile? It would seem 11.9 sec is all that is needed. Lol!The Model Y Perf can run 11.7-12.0 right now at 112-114mph. The Y dual motor LR runs 12.7-12.9@110-111 stock and 12.3-12.6@112-114 with the $3K acceleration “boost” OTA. But, they also go 135-155mph on top end dependent on model trim. No big deal here in the U.S. for 99.999% of us. ?
*If* the GT gets 8-10 secs of full power it’s a 12.0-12.2 1/4 mile vehicle, trap speeds easily at 108-110mph, depending. If they let it eat for 12-15 secs you’ll see the full potential of 11.7-11.9@ 113-115mph trap speeds.
Bet: Ford only allows the full Monty in Unbridled mode. ??
Whatever they do will be an improvement, right? ?. As long as it gets a full 12 secs that will guarantee it goes a full 1/4 mile with no issue, after that is just bonus and quicker to VMax of 124mph.
So we can do our dry hops before lining up at the tree? ?

Lol at dry hops in an awd suv ???So we can do our dry hops before lining up at the tree? ?
I suspect they're coming to the realization all the early HVBJBs are going to fail anyways, might as well not hamper the reputation when it's already tarnished there.
Math looks pretty good.The Model Y Perf can run 11.7-12.0 right now at 112-114mph. The Y dual motor LR runs 12.7-12.9@110-111 stock and 12.3-12.6@112-114 with the $3K acceleration “boost” OTA.

Thinking the same thing here; however, not all HVBJB May fail. On the other hand maybe enough have been replaced they are good with the rest failing. In my case it will not make a difference as there are few places where you can safely go over the 5 second acceleration on the roads in Alaska anyway. I did take it up to 100MPH once on a long newly paved road last summer. That section of road is already splitting and sinking into permafrost so I will have to find a new spot to try things out when (if) they lift the limit.
Ford:
Not to be mean, but you should. It's sort of central to being a Mustang - go fast, straight. Not doing it at least once just seems wrong.
I must be in the 5%.
It was sarcasm. But if we want to take it seriously I would agree. I never use the frunk and could care less about having it in FP. But for those who want it and deserve it they should get it.
Yes, but then I’ll lose my hands-free liftgate and parking assist ?
I totally get that many people don’t use the frunk. I suspect that’s why automakers don’t prioritize creating a frunk when they design electric vehicles.
