    Why are they crediting Ford for 48V systems? This was adapted by Tesla in 2022 and they even shared the specs openly with other car makers to encourage them to switch.

    Saves a massive amount of copper. Hundreds of miles less wire and much less complex harnesses.

    Basically, Ford will be using Tesla manufacturing without the high Tesla markup.
