If I have a cart full of groceries they are going in the back, not the frunk--a lot more room there and since we've been doing it for years that is where they will go.
the best part of the frunk is anything muddy wet stinks. Does not get in the cabin of the car. Simple leaving work and pour down rain shoes could be soaked switch shoes or shirt and put in front. The drain plug is really a plus. I agree with you jamie the rest goes in the back.
Ah good point: I can put restaurant take out there and not stink up the car with the fried food smell
(During pandemic my car always smells like food LOL)
I‘m secretly hoping that the blank spot below the panic button can be popped off to reveal a frunk button.Hey, maybe we could eventually get a keyfob OTA to remap the alarm button to open the frunk.
the frunk is good for keeping smells and orders out and dirt. It really will be a great thing to have.Ah good point: I can put restaurant take out there and not stink up the car with the fried food smell
if you lease ALL rebates are point of sale no need to wait to file etc..
Yep. Because the liftgate has the foot activation and the easy access, that's the one I'll continue to use for routine stuff (groceries & such) like I so now in the Escape. The frunk seemed like a cool idea initially but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I'd just relegate it to long-term storage (scraper, emergency stuff, etc). Perfect spot for the rarely-if-ever-used EVSE and compressor too but they already gave them a spot under the floor in the back. I'll throw 2 light jackets in the frunk too (some restaurants are cold, so we like to leave a couple of jackets/hoodie in the car all the time just in case we need them).
But you won‘t qualify for the federal tax credit at all if you lease. It will simply be a factor when setting the residual value.
Doesn't the phone as key mean that the car unlocks itself as you approach. No need to reach into your pocket for a FOB or phone. And the rear lift gate can be opened with your foot. Even if your hands are full of grocery bags, you should be able to open all four doors and the trunk without putting them down. The only time you'd really need to use your phone would be to access the features that aren't on the FOB (climate control, windows down, etc.). The manual double pull required to open the frunk makes me think that there will be no electrical release that can be remotely activated.
Incorrect .. you already get the federal tax credit at the time you lease the car .. thus no need to file for it on your tax return because your creditor will do that .. you already got the money from them ..that is why I lease first then buy out the car at end of lease.. this way my monthly is very low .. I have done this with 3 different EV’s we have owned .. will not be any different with the Mach E as long as Ford has a leasing option.
There is an electric release. It’s just disabled currently.
Ugh, I don’t have the energy to go through all of this again, but that’s incorrect. Just because that’s how it worked with previous EVs doesn’t mean that’s the way Ford is doing it with the MME. I strongly suggest you do your research before counting on it working that way or you will be greatly disappointed.
