That video is great. The Sync 4a gives you a huge amount of control over most every feature of the car except customizing the drive mode. There you seem to be limited to the three modes, and choosing 1PD, lights and sound. No separate control over steering vs acceleration vs regeneration.

A question in the HVAC settings: when in the HVAC controls

There is a "dual" button at the bottom with what look like hot and cold markers. Is that for controlling the driver and passenger sides separately?

That's what it means in other cars.

Do the rear windows not go all the way down?

Also is that standard for new cars to not come with a spare tire? Does it still come with a jack I wonder? Or are you not supposed to jack these cars up?
Lots of new cars don't have a jack or a spare. Our Leaf doesn't.

I read before that it has two zones.

I was disappointed in the steering wheel controls and turn signal stalks.
I would prefer the controls found in a C-Max or Focus Electric. They seem more natural to me.
Those Focus controls were very intuitive, I'm disappointed they got rid of them over the years.

Did anyone fold the seats down and measure the back or lay down to see if you could car camp? I'm hoping for around 6'.

What about them?

I am aware. The larger battery will also account for the extra weight.
I interpreted the "not made out of plastic" as implying the Tesla is plastic and therefore lighter, not that the Mach-E is actually plastic and heavier.

I was hoping the interior dimensions would feel a little more like an SUV. The seating position was fine, but the space inside just felt more like a car than an SUV.
Hold that thought....
When you get your car, you might be glad the seating position isnt too much like an SUV. There is too much performance. I think they nailed the interior space for actual driving conditions. Opinions are subjective of course but I think it felt pretty darn nice. :)

Thanks for your opinions and observations. I'm so jealous and excited.
