Not even close. You might want to do research about battery thermal management system problems in machE.
I’ll go a step further and say that I have yet to see any real evidence of an “issue” or “problem” here. Yes, I’m aware of that insideevs article connecting the power throttling with a hypothetical “thermal bottleneck,” but if you read the article closely it’s clear that it is based only on a hypothesis, lots of speculation from YouTube screenshots, and made up data. A big nothingburger. If there is hard data out there pointing to “battery thermal management system problems” I would sure like to see it before I commit my hard earned dollars to one of these cars.Only an issue on the GT and GTPE trims. The Premium doesn't have any power throttling.
As @TallGear suggested above, the only “issue” so far is a software limitation imposed by Ford while they get more real world data on a new car design. The last thing Ford needs is a disastrous recall like GM is facing, so who can blame them. Ford is already unlocking more capability in its charging curve, so that is at least some evidence that they are being conservative. I agree with the statement that more hoses and complexity can lead to more failure points, but again this doesn’t indicate a “problem” but instead more opportunities for design optimization in the future.
I will say that in reading many of the comments on the Mach-E forum, there certainly are a few folks irritated by the 5 second throttling on the GT. Most of this irritation stems from Ford’s decision to brand this car with the GT moniker (which means something to Ford guys) and not from their real world driving experience. On a car that goes 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, 5 seconds of hard acceleration is not something that happens all that often unless you’re on the track. Most of the GT owners love their cars anyway, even in spite of this limitation.
