Another Hybrid delivered :-) [ UPDATED ]

[Joseaoe1]

Yes to both of you, it feels like that. As soon as I take my foot from the gas I see the battery charging starts and the truck slows down much much faster than a gas vehicle. I have to say that I really need to get used to this. I actually even thought that something would be off with my truck but on the other hand they took it on a 25 miles ride at the factory to test drive it, so I assume things are the way they are supposed to be.

Interesetingly, my colleague asked me today if it would drive like a tesla which according to him drives like a gocart: as soon as you take your foot off the gas it signifficantly slows down and my answer was yes.

I expect the truth will be known soon as we have more owners reporting and if normal or something that can be addressed and improved via update to software or mechanicals. I tried to do a little research on the topic and came across some tesla articles but didn't digest the info yet. I do have a john deere tractor with hydrostatic transmission and works great on lawns and hills. But not sure how I would feel about my hybrid responding this way on a highway level straight of way on side note I love your vehicle color. I suspect alto blue would be the most popular choice if it wasn't an upcharge.

Currently, Area 51 is still the most popular choice of exterior color; Alto Blue holds the 5th place:

The upcharge can be diluted with the financing of the vehicle. The choices are more based on personal preference, I think.

Nah, I would have gone with the hot pepper red if I wasn't so cheap

I do really like the Velocity blue I have seen on Ford trucks though, so I'm happy with that too.

That’s good data regarding colors. Not to hijack the thread would be interesting to
Know how many would have picked an up charge color if it was free.

What's the source of that?

Regarding the breaking, that is the regenerative breaking that is occurring- that is a great thing because it is charging your battery pack. You will get used to it and will love the effect of it

Just picked up my Maverick. Was told it was the first Hybrid they've sold. Also was the first Cyber Orange Maverick they've received. The picture is of when it first arrived at the dealership.

Congratulations!!
I’m interested to know how aggressive the regenerative braking is and if it allows for one pedal driving. Do you have to press a button each time you want to use it or can you set it to stay in that mode once you enter the truck? My Chevy volt has a paddle on the back of the steering wheel that I have to press and hold each time to activate regenerative braking, and it is so annoying and not aggressive enough.

If it is like my C-Max energi, then yes, it will allow for one pedal driving, however watch your back because I do believe the brake lights do not come on, what I do is use my left foot to hover the brake pedal to show a charge indication and then I know the brake lights are on

Ah the ol’ taxi style driving, both feet on the pedals

Breaking is not always destroying:

As in: currently developing or having happened recently and being released for publication

Just a friendly reminder

Actually, as far as the computer checking the word - the issue is not with spell-check but rather grammar......just sayin'

The driving modes should be described in the owners manual. If it is similar to the 2020 Escape hybrid that I drive for work, Normal mode has less regen than Eco mode. Eco has the most regen and slower takeoff. Sport mode has the least regen and quickest shifts. Normal is somewhere in the middle.
