Interesting Munro Live interview with Darren Palmer

[kodiakng]

wide ranging interview and covers a lot of topics including NACS, following and responding to social media (MachE Forum gets a shoutout), and where they are going with HV battery level in next gen (good), and issues around higher voltage levels in LV battery.

One tidbit from Darren that I hadn't heard before: To get the GT handling the way they wanted it - the GT subframe was redesigned from the one on the early non-Mach E models. Ford has since incorporated the new subframe into the manufacture of the later non GT models. So the earlier non-GTs have a different subframe from the later built Mach Es.

Darren does misspeak sometimes, but, if true, I find it interesting.

he was a bit unclear about when in the development->production process that happened but guessing it must have been implemented post first edition cars?

The other big nugget was the plan for the next generation of Ford BEVs going >800v.
