Gah. So bizarre. Two tone especially in this model makes so much sense.
I suspect this is another concession to the supply chain issues. Ordering 100% of the same wheel will be cheaper and faster than ordering 25% two-tone and 75% something else. I'm guessing that's likely why they deleted the acoustic glass as well.

might be true .. but i don't think cost is an issue .. because they had to make white badging and white inserts for the wheels as well as the interior ... and are already charging more for the ice white package

My car has arrived! Just got the call today that my CA RT 1 RWD arrived more than two weeks early! The dealer is going to check it out, make sure everything is properly updated, and I'll pick it up on Friday!

I can't find the article right now, but there was one on one of the automotive sites about how Ford is making changes to their ordering and etc "live" while trying to figure out the supply chain issues. I think the mention of cost in that article was basically, "Ford could make it work, but the cost would be much higher than planned."

It's all speculation.

What a great day for so many we’ve been on the journey with. Congrats all around! And these cars are such stunners. They look as if they’re already in unbridled mode.

Stunningly beautiful but I'd be terrified in that interior. I can't even wear a white shirt.
Not gonna lie, this is the first light interior and I am nervous, but hoping the material will be an easy clean. Plus my dog sheds white hairs everywhere so hoping they will blend in.

My dealership experience was outstanding - I also got the price protection, 1k Ford options in FL and the 750 from Ford. I've been meaning to get some good pictures of it but my wife has been driving it to work this week and the lighting is terrible at night.

During the dark hours the blue starts to pop and during the day it seems only silver.

For those of us who will eventually attain the status all y’all have achieved, what do you recommend we have with us or refer to or show when we FINALLY get that glorious moment or those glorious hours of price discussion when we are FINALLY dealer bound?
Edit as addendum: our advantage may be that you have already done the hard work for us and paved the way and taught our dealers what to do. So, thank you.
