Two Ranchero EVs spotted @ Tesla supercharging station in California

[Mavii-EV]

These two trucks were recently spotted as a Tesla supercharging location

I'll try to scan that QR code because we know Ford's using them on this to link new vids and other teasers. But if anyone else is able to find something related to that, let us know.

The QR code on the camo wrap goes to this site and videos:

Those two trucks are at the newish (18 months) V4 Tesla Supercharger Tejon Pass site located at 51526 Ralphs Ranch Road, Lebec, CA.

Wishful thinking. If somebody lives near that site and has a tape measure, measuring the length of those white lines would tell us approximately how long the UEV is. Also the height, since it comes up to about the "TESLA" on the superchargers.

Since Mark knew exactly where these pics are........

He has a wicked Mach-E (it's well documented) and he MIGHT be out scrubbing its tires at some point in the near future?

Back left is the way to go.
(Or front right for people that tow.)

Ok, so from the ground up to the bottom of the TESLA lettering on the V4 charger is 61.5". The top or roof of the trucks look a few inches higher than that. I don't know the length of those lines but I am pretty sure I can find someone that can measure it for me. Might be a week or so though.

thank you, will be interesting to see how close to actual specs can be estimated from the photos.

please also ask them to measure the distance between each set of lines so we can estimate the UEV pickup's width. from satellite view of the parking lot next to where google maps shows the address, it appears the spots are 9' wide but a real ground measurement would be more accurate.

if you know anyone with a Maverick, perhaps you could ask them to briefly park it in one of the spots and take photos from the same angles to get a visual comparison.

While I know several friends with Maverick's, none of them are in that area of CA and most are out of state. Still trying to find someone to go there to take measurements of those lines.

I have a maverick, but I don't wanna be the guy icing out a charging station even if it's only for a moment.

These days, there is so much variety at Tesla superchargers that I think the average Tesla driver has been conditioned to no longer get rattled about new comers

no worries, i'm sure we'll find out the real specs soon enough. if the parking spots are 9' wide it looks like the UEV pickup may only be around the width of the maverick, which would be welcome for better maneuverability.

To determine the height of the truck, this photo is the best resource we have. We know Jim Farley's height, it's 5 ft 8 or 68 inches, meaning if this truck was the height of a maverick, it would be around the top of his head, but it isn't. So we know it's considerably lower than a maverick.

I'd place the height somewhere in the low 60s. Gemini says the truck is 48 inches tall but that's obviously not right.

i understand if you don't want to risk any confrontation.

however if many EV drivers are really that impatient (especially if they knew the reason for momentarily parking there to compare to the upcoming UEV pickup), not sure if we'll ever see a full transition to EV's here. (similarly, if Ford doesn't offer a charging port at the front, not sure how useful this will be as a truck if one ends up blocking all the charging spots when towing and other drivers have issues with it)
