I have placed the order for two Mach E's...a Premium ordered last Tuesday that was reservation #10014xxx and a GT today with a reservation # of 10022xxx...an increase of approximately 8,000 res. #'s in 7 days ( I would have guessed more reservations would have been received in that timeline shortly after the launch). I will most likely only keep one...the Premium if it becomes my wife's car and the GT if it ends up being mine. We will cancel the reservation that we don't end up using when we get further down this road (pun intended). If my wife takes this as her car...it will be after owning four BMW's in a row...which will be a big step for her because she love's her BMW's but is looking for an EV (she had a Tesla 3 ordered but cancelled it because she prefers the crossover/small SUV fit better). I currently have a F350 which we will keep either way since we need it for other things.
So far I am impressed with what Ford has come up with on the Mach E (based on what I have seen on line, I have not seen it in person yet) and the seriousness that they are finally exhibiting in the pursuit of the EV market with a car that looks great, offer's good performance/range, an impressive interior and modernized with technology fitting of this endeavor. I am curious if Ford is understating some stats at this time relative to range and performance with the larger battery...although what is posted is certainly acceptable a little more range would be a bonus ( I have seen others posts with a similar curiosity). Maybe they will surprise us with software updates that enhance the range and performance over time.
Based on what I have seen between the Tesla Y and the Mach E, I think that I like the Mach E better...primarily because I'm not in love with Teslas (3 and Y models) overly simplistic interior and the lack of some basic instruments directly in front of the driver (a heads up display would be ideal in front of the driver, my wife's BMW X4 has one that exhibits the speed limit and your current speed along with directions...and it is super convenient...no need to takes eyes off the road and you know if you are speeding...if Ford would add this that would be a nice bonus). I do like the interior of the Tesla S and X, but not in like with the price point and am cautious of the gull wing doors on the X.
Hope to see you at the charge station soon...
