I also heard another difference today and added it to the list of things. The front proximity sensor beeping is now a higher pitch tone than the rear sensor beeping.
Interesting. I’ll have to listen for that. Maybe they could have four different sounds for each corner? Or a bitchin’ Betty who just says “Left front fender, close.”

Very funny. No, I like the different front and rear tones. I am used to that on other cars I have rented.

I'm definitely making a stop at Morgan Hill next time I'm in the market. Have seen them advertise how they sell cars and I'm so over the other dealerships around the Bay Area.

Like the OP, with all of these rebates going on, I traded in my 2021 Infinite Blue Premium for a 2024 Glacier Gray GT. I'm really going to miss the Infinite Blue . It got a lot of complements. My wife picked out the color this time and at first I wasn't so sure about it but now it's growing on me.

Funny, my wife vetoed the Glacier Gray when she saw it. I was disappointed because I didn’t want another blue car. So, we compromised - we got another blue car.
I definitely liked the Infinite Blue better than the Vapor Blue but it’ll do for a couple years until I find something else.
One downside to getting the same car again - it’s the same car again. The thrill is gone already. I already know everything about it and there’s nothing left to discover. Don’t get me wrong though, I do still love the car, it’s just not new to me.

I know what you mean about "the same car again". While it is all familiar, it's a different color and for me a different model. If there was something out there we liked better would have gotten it but this is one of the best cars if not the best we have ever owned. Three years later and still excited to get in and drive no matter where it is.

Yep, I still enjoy driving mine despite the 5 second limit. This may soon be getting changed. ??

Thanks John! Yes, cannot say enough good things about The Ford Store Morgan Hill. Honestly this is the first time dealing with them for sales so maybe I just got lucky but I doubt it. Seems like everyone there I talked to was super nice. I have a Ford dealership (Sonora Ford) literally 2 1/2 miles from my home. The are a super small dealership and also carry Subaru. I have had friends from out of town actually come here to buy vehicles because they do offer really good deals and I know the general manager and parts manager personally. Super people but they just don't have the volume of vehicles to choose from. While I do all of my own maintenance and light duty repairs, as far as warranty service or major repairs, you and I both know Serramonte Ford has been my favorite. It is 2 1/2 hours away from me but Jason (close personal friend for over 30 years) takes very good care of my vehicles if they need any major work.

Glacier Gray is growing on me. It is a different color with a different tone in every light. For some reason, a camera does not really show that color and tone properly. Every photo I take, the color looks brighter than it actually is. In person in my garage with just overhead lighting, it looks like a darker gray with a bluish tint but take a photo of it and it looks much lighter. Outside though, with the sun and ambient light coming from all angles, it looks much lighter and has a greenish-yellowish tint to it. Here is an example. My friend Joe in AZ bought the same car last month and I was there a couple of weeks ago helping him with some mods. Sound deadening, tinting lenses, installed JL Sub among other things. In the two days I was there, it seemed like I saw three different colors of that car.

I have posted these in the Glacier Gray Club thread but will post them here also. You would swear you are looking at three different colors.

Glacier Gray late afternoon and slightly cloudy.

That is one thing I really like about infinite blue, it looks different in every lighting condition. The new car looks great.

The same can be said for iced blue silver metallic, though it takes much longer to say!?

When I got my 23 MME. It was because I wanted something new instead of another Tesla. ;)

I won't be holding my breath on Ford ever changing the 5 second limit on prior models. When the powers that be were directly asked about removing it via software update, I think they gave a BS Corporate answer like "Yes we will if it can be determined we can safely do so". :rolleyes:. aka. Never happening. I think they beefed up the components in the 24's, cooling, etc maybe or heavier gauge components in the 24's that the prior years don't have.
