i did visit it and finally i could see the car in person. in real live it is even better as on pictures. Sadly the car was closed and i could not take a seat. the car still was a prototype they told me. In Oktober the car will go on Tour in Switzerland, here the dates. and some pics

What is interesting in this thread that people disagree on how the OS should work. To be honest I'm not sure anymore myself. So far I was thinking that polstar has the best approach with it's native Android OS (with support for Apple Car Play), similar to all Mobile phone companies (expect...

having a native app store for sure would be the best thing, no question. I'm using Android Auto for the last years for everything and because I always have my phone with me, that is not a big problem. only problem is that I need to plug in the phone, what will not be necessary with the MME. BTW...

did the Ford Model T had the option to simulate Horse pop? In my Ioniq part of my start sequence is to disable the VESS (virtual engine sound system), I only enable it when necessary. I only hear it with open windows, but I hate it. you don't need it to get into a race with an ice, ice car are...

What they need is an app store, allow 3 party to write apps for it. That actually is a big downside with Tesla, you are limited to what tesla offers. I for example dont use Spotify to hear music, i use YouTube music. but most likely having your own app store is not that interesting for big 3...

no order before i had at least the chance to sit in the car First.

to answer my own question, from a privacy standpoint it makes no difference, actually it is worse, because sunglasses don't block IR light https://cdn.photographylife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/20090412-DSC_2659_1000DPI_Vertical.jpg

How does a picture taken by a infrared camera looks like compared to a regular camera?

on the youtube channel from Ford Switzerland are both videos the 40 second and 80 second version https://www.youtube.com/user/FordSchweizTV/videos

We know that there will be the possibility to use your phone as a key, the same way you can with the Tesla Model 3/Y or use a code at the A pillar. But will there be also a regular key? I assume yes, but do we know?

Just got a feedback from my Swiss Ford Dealer. I asked: Are there plans for a Roadshow in Switzerland? answered translated: A roadshow was planned for March, but canceled because of Corona. But that means the first Models are already in Switzerland. We will inform you in the next weeks...

Remember Tesla added that feature with a software update, so even MME will not support it from beginning, it always can be added on a later time. I hope Ford will come with a kind of an app store that will allow software to be executed in park or when driving, also Android Auto itself will adapt...

Any order from Switzerland? Did you get any info from your dealer? There was a MME in Switzerland just when the lock down started, anybody knows if there is a roadshow planned in Switzerland this year?

so far i never had problems in europe to reach my destination, even my Ioniq only has 200km of range. I would say the difference is that a non Tesla need a little bit of more planning, but not much anymore. Best go to abetterrouteplanner.com and try some destinations.

I did find out later that you can also select option 2 with the SR model. I contacted my local dealer in Switzerland and asked if I can change my reservation, they told me I will be able to do it when I place the order.
