A few months ago, @FordCanada asked if I would share my experience with my F-150 Lightning. I was thrilled to have that opportunity. It was an amazing day where I got to meet and work with a fantastic team.

Halloween is almost here, kicking off a thread for all EV owners to share those decorated frunks for inspiration for Saturday!
Drop a photo in the comments below.
Sharing some of owner's favorites as I'll be decorating my Mustang Mach-E for the first time this Saturday!
When your car catches you checking out another ride. Getting the ultimate evil eye from the Rally back there.😁

My 2023 @Ford F150 Lightning Lariat Extended Range just passed 70,000 miles.
Time for a check in.
✅ 41.2 months of age on the HV pack
✅ 99% Battery State of Health
✅ A lot of DC charging.
✅ ~20,000 miles of towing
✅ A lot of Pro-Power use.
✅ 100% charger - 131 kWh usable

🚨 Ford has already produced over 5,000 massive aluminum unicastings for its upcoming Fathom electric truck!
Ford’s new manufacturing process replaces 146 structural components with just TWO massive castings, reducing weight, complexity, and manufacturing costs.
With a starting price under $30,000 and production expected in 2027, the Ford Fathom could be an absolute GAME CHANGER for affordable EVs!
Jim retweeted
So awesome to see that Fathom's path to redefining affordable EVs continues - 5,000 unicastings produced and counting as the team validates this new production method for Fathom.
Metal casting is always impressive to see at scale!

Here's some more Fathom facts for today:
We’ve now cast 5,000+ giant aluminum unicastings and they’re already being used to build prototypes at Louisville Assembly Plant.
Each Fathom swaps 146 structural parts for just two giant aluminum unicastings on our Universal Electric Vehicle platform, cutting mass and optimizing energy efficiency to help support an affordable price point.

🚨 FORD HAS ALREADY PRODUCED OVER 5,000 MASSIVE ALUMINUM UNICASTINGS FOR ITS UPCOMING FATHOM ELECTRIC TRUCK!
Ford is making serious progress toward launching its affordable electric pickup in 2027.
Here’s what’s happening:
🔹 146 parts reduced to just TWO! Ford’s new manufacturing process replaces 146 structural components with two massive aluminum unicastings.
🔹 5,000+ unicastings produced at Ford’s Shelbyville Technical Center, supporting manufacturing development and prototype assembly.
🔹 Three-branch assembly process: Instead of a traditional assembly line, Ford can build major vehicle sections simultaneously before joining them together.
🔹 Lighter and more efficient: Fewer components mean reduced weight, improved energy efficiency, and simplified manufacturing.
🔹 Designed for repairability: Ford says these massive castings have been engineered with modular repairs in mind.
💰 Starting under $30,000, the Ford Fathom could become one of the most significant affordable EVs to hit the market.
Ford isn’t just developing another electric truck. It’s fundamentally rethinking how vehicles are manufactured.
If Ford can deliver on its promises, the Fathom could be an absolute game changer!

For our new affordable midsize electric truck, the @Ford Fathom, we aren't stripping out features customers want. We're innovating. We have fundamentally reimagined how we design and manufacture vehicles to make them more affordable.
These aluminum castings replace 146 structural parts with just two, reducing weight, improving efficiency and enabling our new Universal Production System at the Louisville Assembly Plant, which allows us to build major sections of the vehicle simultaneously before bringing them together.
Great progress by our teams! Excited for what's ahead!
