We're not talking about for towing things, we're talking about towing the Mach E. We thought there was a stub in there for attaching a tow hook.
Right, I think there is a tow hook that screws into a similar spot on export vehicles that travel by ship. We looked behind that spot (behind a plastic cover), and it did not jump out at me that there was an interface for such an apparatus as I was trying to understand its use in charging/jumping the 12v battery. Sorry. If I make it to the event in Old Bridge on Thursday I will look harder.

Beware it might interfere with front facing radar. I wanted to do the same thing on my car but the parking sensors didn't like it.
exactly - it looks like there's a sensor right next to that access port

Yep, a tow hook mount is mandatory for EU vehicle, I believe. The hook itself can be removed/installed.

I really would rather not have to mount the regular license plate holder. Not much choice though. I don't really want to give any reasons to be pulled over. #boooooo

I saw the Mach-E at Towne Ford in Redwood City, CA, today. They had Star White and Infinite Blue Mach-Es on display. I have only owned sedans, so I'm probably not the best at judging an SUV entry height. I found it easy to get in and out of the car. The entry height is taller than was I am accustomed. Everything about the car is excellent. All the materials are of high quality and pleasant to the touch. The touch screen is very responsive and logically laid out.

I only took one picture since I would only be posting duplicate photos that are already on the forum. The picture I took is above the driver's mirror. There is what looks like a small button, but it's not a button. It may be part of the ambient light or a sensor. Does anyone have any ideas what this is?
Is t hat the pony lamp projector ? Like welcome light which projects pony to side of the car ?

No, this is near the center rear view mirror, above the dash. The sales guy in Gilbert, AZ asked me what it was, too.

I don't know.

Oh. You were quoting a post with the mystery nipple looking thing. :)

Yes, that is the e-pony projection.

I suppose when we finally have our pony counting contest, I'll have to remember to include those fellas in my count.

If your photo is up here by the rearview mirror...I wonder if that is the microphone for the Sync system (so it can hear voice commands and for phone calls etc. ?

That’s a possibility. I hadn’t thought of that.

The mic/mics are most likely inside the black plastic with holes in it. That button may be to disable the auto-dimming feature of the mirror? That's my best guess.
