It's automatic. That's actually a requirement in all new cars sold in the US. That and it has to have an option that continues to display what's behind you for a few seconds after shifting to Drive.
Thank you....

It's all being worked on. No info when but we know it's getting looked into with ota update.
Not a must have, but would be nice to have. Personally dash cam would be of more interest but with COVID there has been a fairly large uptick in thefts from cars, so sentry mode would be of interest to others.

It would be really good to get these soon, it could end up being my deciding factor. Dashcam is a must IMO, with sentry mode being a close 2nd.

Anybody seen anywhere you possibly put a usb drive to save the videos to in the future? With Tesla’s I think you have to save to a USB.

Yeah, I really hope Ford will come out and commit to an OTA timeline for dashcam. I care far more about getting a dashcam integrated than I do about the hands-free driving they're already promising an OTA timeline for.

Great. My daughter researched my Christmas present well and got me a dash cam. When my wife said “doesn’t the Mach E do that”? My daughter replied “not yet, so this will help keep the car safe until Ford releases it”.
Good daughter!

I'm considering one, but it'd have to be very tightly integrated - I couldn't stand to see wires/etc. I know Ford has some listed on the accessories page which talk about having an ODB wiring harness. Need to investigate them to see reviews.

Yes I know I meant in the scheme for future updates because they can't update hardware. The Tesla one is a hidden USB port in the glove box (so I have heard). To use the MME you would need a usb in the one by your phone charger inserted all the time (not a great solution).

Which one did she get you? Does it have forward and rear facing cameras?

the tesla is in the under compartment. you can use a USB or a portable hard drive. really about how often to check it and erase it. If it's a USB it won't stick out much.
