Ford Auto Nights: A SEMA Show Special

[jhalkias]

Undo a few bolts and the pack drops out the bottom. Ford has a special table that goes under the battery pack so it can be dropped down. This lets them replace specific modules if needed.

Can't find the video where I saw it though at the moment.

I saw it too. It was a Ford Service technical video.

No, like @jhalkias said it was a Ford service video.

I don't have the link, but it's very much like how battery maintenance is done on a Chevy Bolt (or probably on most BEVs, I would guess):

OK. So it is similar to the Chevy Bolt then. Though a little more complicated because you have a motor at both ends on the AWD variant.

Now that car's a keeper!

I do not think that the battery is blocked in by either motor.

Actually shocked that it's that low.

I also watched the Bronco SEMA Q/A and it only got to around 250. That seemed way too low too. Wonder what the deal was.

And that's what I have reserved ?

That one was well advertised on Twitter, too. Weird.

@Mach-E VLOG reposted this morning's video. (It's currently unavailable from Ford.)

Just finished watching all of it. So that's Darren Palmer's own Grabber Blue First Edition, production car. Cool!

Lucky you. At this point I don't have the patience to wait for a GT. If they had announced Cyber Orange at the launch, well that may have been a different kettle of fish. I was always disappointed I couldn't get my son to go for the Orange when we bought the Bolt!! Maybe next year after I have my Rapid Red FE in hand .

It's going to be a stressful wait for sure but it actually coincides nicely with when my current car is fully paid for. I hope to maximize trade in value by then. I was planning on going electric when this car was paid off anyway so the delivery of the GT is right on time

Maximimize trade-in value? How?
