On behalf if the entire Forum, we appreciate the fact that you offered to take questions with you. I think you knew that you would get inundated, but you asked anyway.
This is true based on what Ford originally described, but the updated vehicle specs indicate otherwise. They show slightly less cargo space for extended range.
As a past driver of a 1975 Mustang Mach 1, I know how impossible is was to see anything through the almost horizontal rear window. Parking in reverse requires the full use of the two door mirrors, and an excellemt mental visualization of where the rear bumper is.
Use a long bubble level and a measuring tape. Slide the level across the seat until the bubble is centered, then measure the lower edge of the level to ground. I see this measurement vital to serior customers who already have some movement difficulty getting in and out of low seats in many sportscars. Since crossovers and SUVs have higher seating, this is one great reason they sell better for senior customers.
Good question. The Tesla Y is even narrower and without the live rear camera, it's all but useless. IS the ME rear camera visible when driving like the Tesla one? That helps. I wish more cars came with a camera rear view mirror and on/off option. These cuv/suv coupes are really tight back there.
exactly - those cars are irrelevant because you've already passed them. Well, except for the one with the flashing lights on top
Can even do it without a level. The hips of the seat on each side should be equal and level. Can just hold the tape measure up against the open door from the ground up and eyeball the measurement where both edges of the seat line up. That should be the level point. Then do the same to measure the butt indentation between the hips.
Yep. I look out the back more for regular driving than backing up. When backing into a parking spot, for instance, I'm mostly looking at side mirrors and listening to the invaluable audio beeps. I rarely even look at the camera itself. The audio beeps are by far the most useful part to me, so I can keep my eyes checking side-to-side.exactly - those cars are irrelevant because you've already passed them.

In all seriousness, my convertible has a tiny rear window but it is not an issue with the rearview camera for backing up. I can see enough of the cars directly behind me to know where they are when driving.
After pulling 5th wheel travel trailers for over 40 years, I rarely look at a rear view mirror --- just the side mirrors. But, I do think the blind spot monitoring / warning systems and backup cameras available now are some of the most significant safety features the industry has come up with.
Doesn't the A380 have cameras in the vertical stabilizer, and elsewhere on the fuselage?
