Pretty sure Ford has already stated that you could tweak the power to the F/R motors. I imagine that would allow for 80/20 rear wheel bias if not 100/0.
I'm not saying they won't need TRANSMISSIONS...I'm saying they won't produce them with MANUAL transmissions (aka stick shifts). Even ICE cars are moving almost completely away from them. 30 years ago, you could accelerate faster with a manual if you knew what you were doing. Now, professional...
Just want to point out that manual transmissions are unlikely to get put into production electric vehicles. You see some in some of the conversions, but that's only because they had a manual paired to their internal combustion engine. Since ~100% of the HP and torque are available from 0-max...
Per minute billing should hopefully be banned quick fast and in a hurry. Gas pumps don't charge you based on how long you use the pump, you pay for the amount of fuel you take regardless of the pump speed. (This should encourage them to put fast/er chargers in place to maximize turnaround.) That...
They have to pay people to maintain/update subscription based services. I think ~$10/month is quite reasonable if the platform remains stable, updates are fairly regular, etc.
Check out the thread on road trips...It's not as bad as you think. TL;DR - You should stop every 2 hours for 15 minutes and not exceed 8 hours of driving per day regardless of what you're driving. This will reduce your risk of developing blood clots in your legs, and keep you more alert at the...
So on thingiverse, Ford (or at least someone who has that as their username) has files to print little models of the mustang/s...since it's going to be a while before my Mach-E GT is in my garage, any chance someone knows where I could get a file so I can print a little desktop Mach-E model?
Road trip advice to not develop blood clots in your legs or lose focus and hit other drivers:
"As a general rule, it's best to take a break of at least 15 minutes every two hours, and to not drive for more than eight hours in a day, to ensure you stay alert and avoid the associated risks of...
It's not even like you need to do a ton of planning ahead of time for it to work out, either. Even without the Ford specific map-of-chargers, google/apple/waze/whatever can find chargers between [current location] and [breakfast/lunch/dinner/sleep].
Sure, you won't be able to drive from Boston to Seattle in 53 hours (NOT RECOMMENDED EVEN IN AN ICE CAR...I did it and it sucked), but sitting for 8+ hours with minimal breaks is terrible for your health anyway. Instead of eating in your car on a road trip, just stop for breakfast, lunch, and...
A couple of years ago, I leased a car telling myself "Last ICE. Next car is going to be electric." but I didn't see anything that really grabbed me. I live near Redmond (home of Microsoft), so every other car in that area is a Tesla. I had a 2003 Mustang GT years ago and loved it, so when I saw...
