GT puddle lamps, RUNNING PONY

[Logal727]

So when is this coming in an OTA? I expect plenty of calm discussion on why this is and also isn’t possible.

Best Ford puddle lamp I've seen since the guy who got the Puma one installed in his Mach-E by mistake!

That's gotta be a different projector assembly of some type to switch between the different frames than what's in the Mexico-produced cars.

The other thing I noticed in the video is the GT emblem on the door. I like that instead of the regular Mach E4x

Good catch ... yes I actually don't mind this badging. I removed my stupid mach-e 4x

I totaly missed that. Good eyes.

China gets all the cool stuff, I guess I'll just settle with basic human rights.

Basic human lights. Sad.

I’ll take basic human rights over fancy puddle lamps and a car that reports my social score to big brother (although it seems Ford is really trying hard to give us a fork of that software that reports us to AmazonGoogle) ???

I wonder if they can be configured to be “galloping” or “still” in the car settings?
I would like them to stay on longer and when the door opens, but I disagree with making them like Audi puddle lights. The Audi puddle lights totally miss the intent of puddle lights - to illuminate puddles before you get close enough to your doors to open them and get into the car ?

But do they illuminate the puddles when you are getting out of the car?

Wouldn’t spillover from cabin illumination do that? Actually, a few things that would be more practical would be illuminated red lights at the door edges to alter oncoming traffic that a door is open, and a BLIS-like system to warn you that a car is approaching if you are about to open a door (I saw a Lexus commercial that showed this feature. Seems like it would be great for kids or careless people).

After seeing the vid, I'm 100% happy with my stationary puddle lights

Agree, galloping seems a bit much. If I could have my key or the FordPass app trigger the galloping animation on demand that would be cool, but as an every day forever thing, a bit much.

I think it looks fun but as a horse person the gait seems off and it would bother me every time I see it. That’s definitely me problem though.

Now how do I get the GT badge? Lol. Priorities

Hmm.

Team Edison's chronophotography has a ways to go before it matches Dickson and Edison's kinetoscope.

Too funny - but what about Muybridge? Wasn’t his Horse in Motion the very first moving picture? ?. The Chinese pony’s got no rhythm in its gallop - but I still like it!

I couldn't remember his name, but yes that's what I wanted to reference.

Then I saw that Edison worked with Dickson and that was too good to pass up since the Chief Engineer for the Mach-E program -- which itself came to fruition through the work of Ford's Team Edison -- is Donna Dickson.

Wow - triple points for all those connections!
