About this episode
Ford has officially unveiled the Ford Fathom, the first vehicle built on Ford's all new Universal EV Platform, and there is a LOT to talk about. Could this be the affordable electric pickup that disrupts the market and becomes the biggest challenge yet to the Slate Truck?On this episode of Turn Down For Watt, we're joined by Jace Craft Miller and Patrick from The Electric Duo to break down everything Ford just announced. From the $28,350 starting price to BlueCruise, bidirectional AC power, Phone as a Key, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a front trunk, and passenger space that Ford says exceeds a Toyota RAV4, we discuss what Ford got right, what questions still remain, and whether the Fathom has what it takes to become the affordable EV truck many buyers have been waiting for.We also compare the Ford Fathom head to head with the Slate Truck, discussing whether Ford's manufacturing scale, dealer network, and feature set make this the truck that could reshape the affordable EV landscape. Is this the beginning of a new era for budget electric pickups, or does Slate still have a compelling path forward?🔗 Learn more about the Ford Fathom and sign up for updates:https://www.ford.com/electric/fathom/🔗 Check out The Electric Duo's in depth Ford Fathom coverage:https://youtu.be/Opxuv5YRk5Q?si=ds5qHWXg2HuB9h0h👇 Let us know in the comments:• Is the Ford Fathom the affordable EV truck you've been waiting for?• Would you pre-order one at $28,350?• Is the Fathom a legitimate Slate killer, or do both trucks serve different buyers?• Which feature surprised you the most?🎙️ Turn Down For Watt Podcast is your destination for EV news, electric trucks, charging, road trips, industry interviews, and honest conversations about the future of electric vehicles.If you enjoyed this episode, please like, comment, subscribe, and share it with another EV enthusiast!#Ford #FordFathom #Slate #SlateTruck #ElectricTruck #EV #UniversalEVPlatform #BlueCruise #FordEV #TurnDownForWatt #Podcast #ElectricVehicles
