First, thanks to the member who provided the manuals. Looks like a very complicated vehicle to me.

I have two initial thoughts:

1. It is going to take some learning and familiarization to drive a Mach e. I never hesitated to "turn over the keys" of my trusty Ford Tempo to another person when needed. With the MME, it may not be safe or appropriate just let someone "get in and drive".

2. I must force myself to concentrate on being in control and not play around with controls/features while I am driving. I would really hate to see anyone have an accident caused by distracted driving.
I agree with most of this, especially the distracted driving concerns. I don't think it will be hard for an experienced driver to switchover to this vehicle, though.

The rotary dial for PRNDL selection is the most intimidating new thing for me. But I test drove an Explorer with it a few months back and that eased my concern. It it quite natural to use even though it looks so different.

So, it is possible that this is not the final version of the Owner's manual. Remember that there could be other errors as well. Keep an eye out for a later revised document.
There will likely be several revisions. That's normal for all new vehicles, even smaller mid-cycle refreshes will have multiple manual updates to address errors.

I plan to recheck periodically.

No. Ford prohibits towing with the North American version.

For the US model they do not recommend towing at all. I believe the EU model is able to tow but has a pretty low rating (750 kg I think)

Yes that is one thing I'm gone try for sure.
So we can wait for your vid on computer perpendicular parking; kool ;). The number of cameras and sensors on this vehicle just keep growing.
I think you will be surprised how easy this car is to drive. I didnt need any special training or coaching to figure out the necessary controls. I will hand the key fob to my family and friends with very little concern.

I did not have that same level of comfort after test driving a Tesla. The complicated nature of how the controls are operated in that vehicle would make me uncomfortable loaning the car to my kids or friends.
It should do the basics no problem; and then some if you want. I think once the OS is up and running like you want playing with the controls will be minimal. I have noted a couple of ICE reference that have not been caught and edited out; all and all it reads OK. Owner manuals are notorious for 100% accuracy ;).

"Note: Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter."

Obviously, a Mach e has no engine air filter.

So, it is possible that this is not the final version of the Owner's manual. Remember that there could be other errors as well. Keep an eye out for a later revised document.
More simply, the Mach E has no engine.

I expect to see the user manual changing for years to come as they correct errors like these and as they make updates, primarily OTAs.

Currently there are 20 hyperlinked walk-through videos in the PDF manual. Which is a wonderful start! I expect to see this grow significantly. For instance, I would like video explainers for each of the ADAS functions.

I think we are witnessing the start of a major overhaul to the way Ford will be providing owner guidance.

It would be nice if the manual includes:
1) dates on anything that is changed
2) a what's new page with recent changes

I think you are correct. It's a new age for many of us. Did you happen to see those videos on the Sync 4 screen in th car? We watched a few...we saw those videos that are linked in the wiki thread you started a while back. I thought that was a nice touch from Ford.

Yeah I checked out some of them. I immediately recognized them as the same ones we saw posted on YouTube... Thought that was really clever.

It looks like the car is getting them from Brightcove though. Like this one:

It looks like the owner's manual team got a little bit ahead of the video team, too. Here's a placeholder video!

:) That will be a useful video for me. I still use my cell as a phone so I am a bit behind the times.

Did you see any videos that show the Mach brake coach? I wonder if it works like Ford's other electric vehicles or if it has been updated. I still use mine even after 44k miles...

I "discovered" all the videos by visually skimming all the owner's manual pages for hyperlinks... I only found 20. Nothing on brake coach so far.

I updated all of the links here:
