When is the video embargo lifted?

There's a thread on that. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/delivery-date-of-the-first-“first-edition.1341/

Question. One thing I love about driving Teslas is getting glued to the seat at full throttle. Did you experience this in the FE?

We need @jdmrc93's SO to check for blue stitching on his back and butt and report back to us, pronto.

Grabber Blue looks incredible on the MME, I’d say even better than on a traditional Mustang.

Here’s a few pics to hold you over...
And he picked up the FE in Grabber Blue ?

Beautiful pics but I am still happy with my choice of black .However, please correct me if I am wrong, but I am wondering if this is an European spec model. The only reason I say this is I seem to recall on this forum somewhere someone said that the AWD on the liftgate was for EUR market only.

After seeing the blue stitching inside the grabber blue, I may change my order to red stitching to stand out more.

Also, please comment on seat comfort and support. In the pics they look kind of unsupportive.

Showing 3.7 with zero miles traveled. That's why I asked him to take a picture of the efficiency before he exited.

Interesting that it's showing all zeros. That presumably means he just reset the trip odometer so as not to display the actual numbers. I suspected that Ford employees are told to avoid showing actual numbers until EPA comes out.

But it also begs the question where the 3.7 comes from if the odometer is reset? Did he just drive it 50 feet to get it off of zero? Or does it pick up the overall vehicle average when reset? But that doesn't fit either (assuming RANGE calculates from that number too).

Yet another mystery.

It looks like it's for each trip. If he turned the car off and then back on, I'm thinking it resets to zero. 3.7 is indeed a mystery, though.

On delivery?

Probably shortly before delivery, when they let all the auto reviewers take the keys for a bit. No ETA.

I DID! MORE THAN ONCE! ? I have a 0-60 video as well...

The AWD badging comes on all applicable models. BUT he said it is "easily removable".

Very comfortable on first impression. I didn't play with the adjustments too much. Hugged a little, but not sure about lumbar or anything else. Didn't pay too much attention.

The black onyx seats don't look to black to me. I have change my seats color to light space grey because on all previous pictures I had seen the black onyx and ceiling color looked very dark, but not in this picture, but I'm not changing again but this black grey onyx looks just fine on this picture.

What about the holes left?

 

[bluestarct]

Not me. I think the red looks great in every light. To me the grabber blue only looks good in the shade/low light. Looks too baby blue to me in sunlight. Plus it's not metallic, which I really prefer over flat.

But it's all about personal preference. I can see how some love it.

I have a Ford F-150 in Rapid Red. It looks great when it is clean. It really shines with a deep color. It almost has a dimensional look to it. However, after sitting outside for a week or if it gets dirty, the color doesn't look as nearly as good. It really shows dirt. The truck is waxed every 3 months. You have to really keep it clean to make it shine.

I had a Race Red F-150 prior and it did much better job of not showing dirt.
