Afternoon Everyone! Just wanted to make a quick introduction.

New to the group! New to owning a Mustang! First EV as well!

Just ordered my Mach-E from my local dealer a couple days ago. So now the agonizing wait begins. Estimated delivery 12 - 16 weeks.
Ordered the Premium, AWD, Standard battery, Shadow Black.

In total honesty I wouldn't consider myself to be a car guy. I've never really had loyalty to any particular manufacture or model. But, I have been very interested in EVs, keeping watch over the industry as a whole for a while. I was very excited when the Mach-E came on the scene. For me, it was the first EV that I was really excited about. I love the look, the tech and the price point made it possible for me to really consider purchasing my first EV.

I have read and watched just about any an all content and reviews I can find. As with all things, there are pros and cons influenced by the reviewer. But, the car has been getting overall very positive reviews and I felt like it was probably going to be the right fit for me. Then, I finally got a chance to drive it the other day. I've been talking to our local dealership for the last month, once I knew they had their one demo car coming soon. I was the first person they called once it came off the transport and through detail. After getting in the drivers seat, before I ever putting it in drive... I was sold! Driving it was just added confirmation that I made the right choice for me.

Very much excited to take delivery of this car. I've already got "car guy" friends giving the smack talk about if it's a Mustang or not. LOL. For me, I'm still undecided about using the Mustang name. I get the debate among die hard Mustang guys. But, after I drove it, it didn't even matter to me at that point. I loved it for what it was. Looking forward to being a member of the forum and learning from you all, getting tips and tricks and just being part of something I hope will be as special as I think it could be.

Yeah, I am honestly not going to get my hopes to high for anything less than the 16 weeks. Based on everything I've read, seems that you just have to sit, be patient and wait your turn. It'll get here when it gets here. LOL. I've waited longer for other things, but nothing quite like this.
