Really, really unhappy with the new features in combination with a price drop -> feels like Tesla all over again when they started devaluing model 3's. Why can't Ford come out with a new model with a different body style (capri?) at a lower price point instead of undercutting their best customers?
I don’t understand your point?

Our Raptor has non traditional wiper controls. I intensely dislike it. If I think there’s going to be rain I drive the 18 year old weather beaten Tacoma instead.
Why? How do raptor windshield wipers work?

BTW, you gain a heat pump but you lose ~ half the frunk space:

One of my photos from an event last week in NY state. More on that coming.
I've never used our frunk in almost 4 months of ownership. Acceptable compromise to get the heat pump, ATMO anyway.

Nice additions for sure, I welcome the heat pump and am okay with the loss of frunk space. I like the column mounted shifter for the extra console storage, ventilated seats are fantastic and the visual packages are really nice for those like myself who want the styling but wouldn’t want to buy the GT as we don’t race.
Only misses I can see are the lack of their new android automotive platform with the faster CPU and general performance. Would have been nice to get improvements to the charging as well.
If they really did remove the powered lift gate, then that is also a fail. One of my favourite and most used features from my 2021 premium.

there were mentions of apps like YouTube being available, would this be for Canada too as I still don’t have that in my Mach-e as it doesn’t appear to have been made available here.

The 2025 configurator is not yet available. Also I don't see where the magnaride is an option for non-GTs.

For Me-
Good: Heat Pump (keeping up with the Tesla)
Ventilated Seats (this WAS a huge miss originally)
Updated design and colors
Colored Stitching

Bad: No Standard Magnaride?? These cars have a pretty stiff ride!! May entertain a Caddy?
Column Shifter (ewww)
Loosing Frunk Space (with no cargo net this is where groceries go every trip)

Unsrure: if your not using BC does the speedometer go back to the center? (Let's hope so)!!

2025 Mach E Premium- Eruption Green
Country flag
Am I the only one that read through all of this looking for PICS of these three 'NEW' colors?? the hell with the substantial stuff!

Molten Magenta Metallic Tinted Clearcoat7, Velocity Blue Metallic7, and Desert Sand

Or Does Molten Magenta Metallic basically mean 'Rapid Red', Velocity Blue 'Vapor Blue' and Desert Sand that Press photo of the Rally (a greyish/white-ish blend)??

Any photos/links appreciated

I'm right there with you. I was diggin on that Eruption Green, but I want to see these new colors...

For me, none of the new features are a must-have. Especially living in SoCal, we can do without a heat pump and ventilated seats. Personally, I want a shorter-length MachE (ditch the frunk which I barely ever use), a taller, larger trunk (rear redesign), and a better ride (new suspension). BC1.5 seems attractive, but not gonna get me in the market for another MachE.

Sad to see the smaller frunk. I completely fill it up regularly on long trips.

Were you able to play with screens? Is the user interface any faster than the current ones?

I won't buy another Mach-E until they make the touchscreen HMI respond faster.

Two reasons:
1. Heat pumps are not very effective at temperatures around freezing or below (which is why all residential heat pump systems have electric resistance “auxiliary” or “emergency” systems).
2. As I pointed out, it (allegedly) takes away valuable frunk space. I want the frunk space more than a heat pump of questionable utility.

By the way “Tesla does…” or “Tesla has…” tends not to be a very good selling point for me.
This isn't really true anymore. Modern heat pumps can maintain good efficiency well below freezing. https://www.researchgate.net/public...rature_and_comparison_with_other_refrigerants

I guess no one else noticed the unspecified "one time fee for bluecruise"??????

Curious to see what that will cost.
I don't think that one-time fee was referring to BlueCruise but for the Premium Connectivity.
