Correct. Same thing they did with the Lightning. Gives you the opportunity to uncheck the box and not buy it, and buy something less expensive, and better.

Makes sense.

Easy way to drop thousands off MSRP is to remove some standard equipment.

Honestly seems like a great idea because many people prefer aftermarket chargers or get local incentives to buy one.

price of car goes down as it should if there's something you don't want/need included you get to take advantage of lower price. I would have opted for lower price on both my Mach-Es since I have an EVSE already. Don't need the mobile ones.

Just found out free BlueCruise is only for 90 days (for Premium model). Full activation of 3 years will cost $2100 !!

Yeah, roughly $1500 for the hardware, and $600 for the subscription itself.

I'd be pissed to pay $500 for that mobile charger that lasts 2 to 3 months on average.

I heard the later replacement chargers are better. How long Ford warranty the chargers for ? 3 years ?

Seems like a good idea to me, $500 for the FMC is crazy.

Premium came with the hardware, and the 3-year subscription. The cost of it was baked into the price of the car. Now it's a separate line item that someone can opt to activate if they want. I suspect that after the 3-year subscription is over, it will only be $600 or so for another 3 years of service.

The new 2023.5 Premium doesn't come with free 3 years BlueCruise any more. Ford build-your-car page asked for $2100 up front (90 days free trial, it said).

I commented as much on another popular site and was downvoted to hell.
That $4,000 off the base GT is more like $1,400 after the BlueCruise add-on, mobile charger, etc etc. Does it even still include the pano roof?

You have the option of paying the $2100 now, and folding it into your loan/lease. Or you can do the 90-day trial, and then decide to pay for it, using other money that isn't part of your loan.
