Mach-E retail deliveries begin! -- First to customer in Dallas

[generaltso]

Not everyone is opposed to the front license plate bracket.

Yeah, I don’t have a problem with the front bracket. I‘d prefer no front plate, but since my state requires them, I think the OEM bracket looks a lot better than any aftermarket options I’ve seen, and I consider it to be part of the car. I don‘t really care if there are holes in the bumper behind the bracket that will never be removed. In my mind, it’s like being bothered by the holes in the frame that are used to hold the fenders on.

Jealous! And here I am in Austin, TX with a built car waiting until March 12th for delivery..

In that case mine should have arrived in 1990-01-01 according to the ETA, LOL. And mine was built on Nov 28th.

Best review so far!

Let me quote

"Look at this beauty"

"What a beauty"

"Beautiful"

Need we say anything more, I would add that Grabber blue looks really great at night too!

The bracket "never being removed" assumes you won't move to a non-front plate state, or that you'll sell the car if you do. That's something I wouldn't bet on, I'd always use an adhesive plate bracket, never drilling holes into a car.

Guess they didn't notice that the charger has faulted in the video - the blinking red LED on that Webasto TurboDX is a hardware fault indication on the charger end.

I won’t.

Yep, that and the ring of charge status lights inside the Mach E door look like they're off. That car is definitely not charging. Again, dealers really need to come to this forum for education.

Pre covid, yes. The original schedule was premiums and First Editions delivered worldwide in 4Q 2020, and then Select and RT1 in 1Q 2021. Sometime in August they changed the ETA to US getting all 4 versions starting in "late 2020", with EU/UK delayed until 1Q 2021. That has gotten pushed back a little further, obviously.

I rather the dealer not charge my MME to 100%. Wonder since Steven already owning 2 mustangs was chosen for first delivery.

??

Right on, c'mon, marketing gets to show a Mustang "loyalist" 65 and the S550, If it's okay for this Real Mustang Lover, it should signal the "not a Mustang crowd to get on board!!!!

That's rather drastic (not moving, or selling if you do)... You could always put whatever vanity plate in the front if moved to a state not requiring a state plate in the front.

So has there only been 1-2 deliveries? Where are the videos of deliveries and early non-professional video reviews?

Got this e-mail from Ford today:
" Our current estimate for delivery to Autonation Ford Torrance is between February 2 2021 and February 8 2021. Once it arrives, a dealership representative will contact you to arrange final delivery. "
