This is the case for all newer tech, no?
This is just the inevitability of technology marching on. What WOULD have been a disturbing answer is, "Well, we're feeling pretty good about where we are on range and efficiency, so we're not looking at that right now. We need to deal with all these cooling hoses first that the Internet complains about."
Yup, and that's not a bad thing the way she explained it. They knew they had it, they knew it was trouble-free in reports from the field, and it was a known quantity overall. That's reuse which Sandy is always championing anyway, right? I particularly like that their numbers shows the current model has more cooling power than actually needed based on data from the field. Works for me.
Every EV (and PHEV) owner deals with this as future models refine and improve range. Honestly, it's part of buying anything hi-tech.
I suspect range increases will just be coming from software tweaks and using more of the battery buffer. Age old case of start conservative then give it an increase as it also allows for marketing to make the mach-e appear current without having to make any drastic changes. We Probably wont see any major changes to the platform until the mid life refresh.
I'd say that someone on the job for nearly 30 years with what looks like a steady progression in her profession makes her more than qualified even if you don't like the way she says "right."
Sheesh, tough crowd. Don't confuse content with style. These days, "right?" has become the new "y'know" - a crutch so common that people aren't aware they are saying it.
There’s a TSB for that.
