As mentioned in another topic, I had the chance so sit in one of the first preproduction Mach-Es in Europe. It should be the same car from the reveal events. I took the chance to made a video about all of my impressions.
Since my YT Channel is in german, I will write down the key points here in this topic for you guys

Feel free to ask some questions, I will try to answer if I could see or test the specific part ?
Since my YT Channel is in german, I will write down the key points here in this topic for you guys
My german video:
The shown car was a Mustang Mach-E First Edition
Exterior:
- Rear and side profile look very good. The black elements make it look smaller and agile and mimics the shape of the normal mustangs pretty nice
- Frontend of non-GT model was way too soft for my taste. For a Mustang it could look more aggressive
- The painted all black elements in gloss black, which looks really premium - But they sadly missed out the lower grille in the frontbumper, which is plastic
- 19' wheels look pretty small on the car. I think 20-22' would fit the car way better. Can't even imagine how small the basic 18' wheels will look like on the Mach-E
- Mustang badges are pretty detailled with the wavy blacked out centerpiece
- Trunk opens and closes automatically if you press the specific button, you can also do that via the key
- Trunk offers pretty nice space, frunk should also work for like a sportbag
- A lot of great modern technology like Blind Spot Monitor, Memory Seats, front parking sensors, 360° parking camera
- Nice to have stuff that is not on regular mustangs like hood struts, panorama glass roof and blacked out windows
- the buttons to open the doors look and feel pretty cheap, but the 2-3cm popup of the doors is pretty nice. The little handles to open the front doors looked like they are an afterthough and just glued on.
- Rear doors are pretty bad to open since they have no handle
- Interior doorhandles are just tiny little handles on the armrest
- The pincode on the b-pillar is hidden really nice
- They really added a lot of pony emblems. Front, Rear, inside the hood, on the wheels, in the headlights, on the door entries, on the steering wheel, etc.
- Sequential turn signals for headlights and rear lights look really cool and on par with Audis technology. I filmed all the different light setups at the 10:00 mark in the video
- Ford really is trying to buff this car to premium quality. All the important parts have really nice and soft leather
- soundspeaker are hidden pretty cool behind cloth in the dashboard.
- USB & USB-C charging ports for the front and for the backseats
- A lot of space to put your stuff in
- Great space for big people, no problems with head or legs on the front or backseats (I'm about 1,90m / 6"2ft)
- Even in the back the doorpanels are nicely padded with leather
- Key is just a basic Ford key, but could be a preproduction thing
- Interior design is really simple and more like a tesla, does not really feel like "sitting in a Mustang"
- I don't like the front seats. They are soft and have nice leather, but way too small side bolsters, really like no side support. Driving through corners will make you fly off your seats. You call it Mustang, give it sporty seats as base equipment.
- The huge touchpad-screen is reacting really fast and responsive
- multi finger touches work great
- the gauge cluster look pretty simple, I guess they should update the graphic here for the final model
- Infotainment was for the most part just an early software, so most features were non functional. The 360 camera was distorted and used a pickup truck as a graphic (see 7:24 in the video)
- To go to the settings you have to touch a nice little Mach-E model in the upper left corner of the touchscreen
