The biggest issue with the Mach E is the lack of ventilated seats.

I rode in an F150 with ventilated seats and when people say that Ford has the best ventilated seats, they aren’t kidding. It just makes the lack of ventilated seats in the Mach E sting that much more.
the GT PE seats are awful, the alcantera like suede material does not breathe so it always feels like you have the seat heater turned on. My only complaint about the GT

Definitely the #1 thing I miss coming from my 4Runner. If Ford came out with an updated Mach-E tomorrow with ventilated seats and a heat pump, I'd probably go put an order in immediately.

I don't think it is the top missing feature, but yes it is a big one. Much prefer my Lightning.

We have them on our Explorer. They are nice to have but I honestly don't use them all that much.

As will all my cars I tint the windows and don't have any cooling issues afterwards. For me ventilated seats are nice but not a necessity.

My last 3 vehicles had ventilated seats I rarely needed them and my wife does not like them

The lack of ventilated seats has been something owners have complained about since the vehicle launch. What’s really sad is that even the ICE Mustang has ventilated seats. Ford FINALLY provided front and rear tilt on the driver’s seat for MY24 (despite more massive decontenting ?), so maybe there’s hope?

The MME needs to have much faster charging rates, the charge port relocated to the driver rear, and a Heat Pump. Those additions would make it a true Tesla killer. Other issues like ventilated seats, HUD, rear heated seats, etc. are all priority 2 changes IMHO. BTW, the ‘Electric Viking’ reported in one of his latest videos that there is at least one Chinese manufacturer whose cars can charge at 600 KW!!! Once the US has that kind of infrastructure, and cars that can take advantage of it, ICE-cars will disappear.

My biggest complaint is lack of adjustability in the seat. I don't mind the suede at all, but I came out of a Wrangler 4xe with the worst plasticky leather you can imagine, so anything else would have been an improvement. I have had several vehicles in the past with ventilated seats and rarely used them, in fact I rarely use the heated seats, either. But, I gots to have me some heated steering wheel!

Ditto. I'm considering Katzkin leather.
