I just received my Mach-E First Edition (in California)!

[engnrng]

No one mentioned it where? I‘ve seen it mentioned lots of times.

90,000 posts, nearly 2500 threads (many duplicates!), probably there a few times... Hey, maybe we should start a thread about threads! I have seen some forums where the Administrator "pins" a few key threads for Newbies that helps to keep the number of new threads and old questions down. OOPS, off topic!!

This site could really use some more admins to help build up some of that stuff

Sad

Sadly both. The car doesn't always recognize the phone as a key. Any function that would otherwise be available for a FOB, is not available.

For what is worth, it took a few months for my Tesla Model 3 key phone to work flawlessly. Hopefully with MME OTA updates it will improve. I know that with the Model 3 some people experienced issues when theIr phone was in a bag or purse or even in their back pocket. When it works flawlessly it is one of my favorite features of the Model 3 and super excited to get it on my MME.

Surprised no one mention the frunk has a drain. A little ice and little post hockey/hike/etc.... beverage.

Exactly! Question: Do they have a slot for a beer bottle opener or cork screw opener? ? Concerned I won’t be able to pop open a cold Zima.

Unless the Frunk release is electronic, it will never happen.

This is in the UK manual. Says it can open the frunk...... However it says it may vary on location.

We don't get a panic button I would think.

Zima? You don't deserve the car. ?

 

[MerryBrown]

wait I thought the "roll around issue" was why you bought a Bronco or something instead? ?

Well I am glad they put down the orange cone to alert folks!

That’s because the truck drain is ancient history on this forum. Do a search on drain.

Yep. This guy ruined the fun for you.

I know for prior cars it was like $200 from dealer.

Yup it was about that when I replaced a fob for a Ford Edge a few years ago

I am not sure if I am the second owner on this forum, but maybe the first in California.

I reserved my FE the second day it was available, waited patiently, and it arrived in Northern California yesterday. Apologies for the few pics, I was focused on testing the vehicle, inspecting it and making sure it met my expectations. In short, it DID!

The car drives amazingly well. Excellent feedback, comfortable, yet firm suspension, and overall great driving experience. The fit and finish is exceptional, and much better than I expected. This is not your father's Ford. The seats are extremely comfortable too.

I really like the carbonized grey color. Looks clean, matches the red accents really well. Grabber blue is nice in person too, but I prefer the grey (personal preference)

I bought the car at Marin County Ford in Novato, California. They also have a Grabber Blue FE for sale and test driving. The previous owner cancelled their order, so if you are in the market give them a ring!

More info to come once I can take more photos and test the vehicle more. I picked the car up late last night, so not an ideal time for pics.

I can't tell from pics but what tires did your car come with

Wow tough customer! The post was having a little fun as people were talking groceries in the Frunk a few pages back. At least my boy blue with the Zima got the joke. BTW do they even make that stuff anymore ?

When our dealer had the MME day a few months ago, the look on the Reps face when sitting in the MME. when I mentioned beer in the frunk was worth it. LOL

Zima.....ahh...memories. My daughter was at a party when she was about seventeen and made the mistake of getting a little wasted on Zima. The next morning while I was holding her up as she worshipped the porcelain queen she was asking me if she was going to die. I do think that was the last time she drank that particular beverage. Nasty stuff.

ah. the punchline made famous to many by Kevin Nealon on SNL "Weekend Update" (but going around the Internet before that): "Zima: Tastes like zhit"
