They're not going to swap windows.
People have driven both and remarked they could tell no difference.
And people have remarked they could tell no difference between butter and margarine. People can be wrong.

Not to say there is a noticeable difference, but when this is quantifiable, I'm reluctant to trust an anecdote.

I ordered a 22 on Oct 1 and have a build date in a couple of weeks. I'm just wondering if anyone has talked to their dealer about any type of compensation for not getting these two features that were listed on the website and order guide when we placed our order last year? Or even if it's possible to get them added to the car after purchase?

I'm not too happy about these features being removed.
Seems like we lost some features and the sticker price went up. I ordered a GTP on Oct1 8th and its on a train in Laredo TX and in Kansas City on Oct 11th then hopefully Denver a week later. Excited. I got the rail # from the dealer and Kansas Southern Railway updates me if I email customer service.

If Ford promises to give you a kick sensor when they have enough chips, will you promise to return the extra battery capacity that your 2022 will have?

Personally, I’d choose the extra range and whatever other invisible improvements have been made with the 2022 model (they don’t advertise better bolts and assemblies), but hey, to each his or her own!
Why does it have to be mutually exclusive? I paid for 91 kWh AND a hands-free liftgate. Besides, it's not like they increased overall battery capacity, they simply increased the usable amount.

Not for external review
Then, in the interest of “science”, some enterprising members should get out their sound meters and conduct an unbiased experiment at their next meet ?

No early 2022 models were built with the laminate front glass. Or the liftgate kick sensors.
Show us the definitive evidence from a Ford document that what you say is true about the acoustic glass delete. This rumor has been debated in an earlier thread; 2021 and 2022 window images have been compared and no differences can be found in those comparisons.

I received my 22 GT yesterday and I can confirm that it came with acoustic laminated front side windows. I was worried it would not but it does in fact have them. Mid Jan build. I think others have posted on here that their premiums did not come with it but could be wrong.
No hands free gate though.

If you’re in San Diego, and have ‘22 no Liftgate I love to check it out to see if our foot sensor works. I retrofitted my ‘21 CR1 to have it and I’m banking that I can add it.

Is your new GT Cyber Orange? Seems like either that or Rapid Red would be the correct choice for a guy from Milwaukee. And with a last name (I presume?) of Blattz, as well! Enjoy your car, and watch out for those Wisconsin State Troopers…although we Minnesotans believe that they only pull us over - and Chicago folks, of course. ?

Kick Liftgate Works when you open it, but only works 30% of the time when you want to close it, so I wouldn't fret about it.
