If the problem was the HV battery, the dealer would swap the whole battery and send the failed one back to Ford. Car dealers don't have the training or equipment to replace modules or single cells. Besides the repaired battery must pass a certification test to be reused.

There was "Knight Rider" with a Mustang KR model as KITT. The voice of KITT was Val Kilmer ( who played "Batman " once). https://www.nbc.com/knight-rider

I wonder why it needs to be replaced when repairs will cost less than a new car, if you can find one.

I belive that all cars should have a mecanical means to open their doors, even a hidden pull cable is good enough, somewhat like the special handle in trunks.

Although Ford only has an 8 year battery warranty , it will last longer before it may begin to fail or weaken. My 2014 Fusion Hybrid was assembled in September 2013, and its battery must be assembled before that. It now has 8 years after assembly yet it works as good as when it was new. And a...

I only have a Fusion Hybrid but I can unlock the car on the door pad and open the trunk in four seconds or less. I doubt anyone can pull their smartphone out, power it on, unlock the screen, open the app, find the menu option, and press it in lesser time. In fact I can lock or unlock the car...

I agree 100%. It is foolish to drive over 500 miles in any vehicle. Take a plane or a train and get there rested and safer than driving.

BTW, that train is a hybrid electric simitar to the Escape, Fusion, Explorer, and F-150.

Unless you are lucky, most Lyriq orders will be delivered later, probably in 2023. I could not place my reservation because the website rejected my Zip Code and found no dealers in Puerto Rico, so I will wait for the 2024 MY.

I have voice controls in my 2014 Fusion Hybrid . The Cadillac Lyriq will use Google controls.

Buttons can be pressed by touch only since they are fixed A touch screen needs to be looked at to select the position to touch. And that is a safety issue.

Metallic blue and white are options that cost more.

Only if you have over $7,500 in taxes to pay. I don't pay any Federal taxes.

There is one now for 65 grand.

So take shorter trips. And charge at home overnight once. Save time and money.

It is worse than that! The cells hold less voltage so you need a redesign of the battery and all the support, both in physical components and software. It is as bad as when smartphones changed from NMH to Li-Ion. The present Mach-E cannot run with LFP cells.You cannot even refurbish it!

You missed one Pro : No heating up during charging And one Con: Terrible in cold conditions So the next generation of Mach-E may have to continue using older cell chemistry for buyers in the northen states, or they move south to use LFP cells.

México is part of North America, so the Mach-5 is as American as any other domestic car. The origin of a model determines the nationality, not the final assembly. Fords assembled in Korea are more American than Nissans assembled in Tennessee.

Nope, it was an IBM product called Simon in 1992. And the first cellphone was made by Motorola which started by making the first car radios and the first police radios. Apple is famous for making people believe that it is the creator of many items, including the first home computer. Seems...

The Feds are not "paying" anyone $7,500 to buy an electric car. That is a tax rebate and most of us don't pay that much tax. I don't pay at all so I don't get any "payment". It is easier to raise gas taxes so buyers will search for hybrids and electrics on their own.
