    Can someone explain this odd subwoofer design?

    To me it looks like more like a traditional Bass Reflex port that adds bass to relativ small woofers. Doesn't matter where the exit is, as long as the port has a certain length and shape (tube - rectangle in this case). The port does not really produce sound, it produces an air flow. Beside...

    Is it a shipment number per country or can the unknown numbers also be a country that was already listed earlier in the row?

    Dutch people that ordered a Mach-E?

    I think we're all having too high hopes on 'in transit' status cars. First a ship would arrive in January, then february... All these cars had the status 'in transit'. In transit means probably they are moved to a different parking lot in Mexico. Up to now, only a few MME's has arrived in Europe...

    Rumor: Mini-Mustang-Mach-E will arrive for European market in 2023

    It was GM when it was introduced. Now it's Peugeot Citroen and they have their own platform. I hardly see any Ampera-e. It's not really popular over here.

    MME STRANDS ME IN A BLIZZARD!!

    The Polestar 2 also had issues where the 12V system wasn't charged enough to keep the systems running. Most of the car is still a 12v system. Polestars even stopped while driving on the highway because the battery drained. They were all called in for modification of the battery energy control...

    Some Observations After Delivery

    For the ground: it depends what the requirements were. I think the electrian made a delta configuration with 3 phases instead of a split phase with ground. If that's the case he can use one of the three phase-cables for ground and leave the other two to connected (probably the cable have the...

    Android Will Power Ford Vehicle Navigation Starting in 2023

    We didn't choose for the Polestar because of Android. I hate google having all my data and the fact that they want to analyse my driving data and store all my spoken word in the car, including private phone call. It makes me want to skip buying a Ford from 2023 on and hope they don't update the...

    American bought Mach-E in Europe?

    If you add up all the modifications to the car (plus buying the charge-convertors) and the hassle, the costs to get it overseas, etc. I think it will be more expensive than the 1500 dollar. Try to revert your reservation to someone that's interested in it, there might be someone that wants to...

    ICONIC SILVER Mach-E Club

    The red is a little less polished in what from I saw, probably because it's a mulit-layer coating. The red tends a little to Maroon (there's a slight purple shade over it, specially in the sun) while the Silver has a mercury look over it, enhanced by the curves of the car. I think Silver is the...

    Infinite Blue or Antimatter Blue

    I think here was an Antimatter blue Explorer in Rotterdam and I loved that color. I remember I was disappointed it wasn't Infinite Blue. If the MME came in Antimatter blue, it was an easy choice.

    Ford sends mass Mach-E delivery delay emails [Updated with Ford's response]

    If the seat is an issue... we have experiences with a breaking chair in a Ford Mondeo (Fusion) once. The left side back of the driver seat broke while driving, frame sticking out like a knive - just like that. It was not a pleasant, pretty scary and dangerous experience. Well... we had more...

    Anybody else agonizing over color choice?

    We were initially attracted by red, but when we saw it in real it wasn't the red we hoped for. The pictures and configurator makes it 'rapid' (race) red, in real it tends towards maroon. The line between red and maroon is thin, but in my opinion a Mustang should not be maroon.

    Embargo lifted! Discuss the Mach-E first drive videos/articles HERE

    What's with the Brits being tough about the MME and the Americans/Canadians are pretty fond about it? Is the European settings of suspension different than the ones for the NA market?

    Seriously considering the Tesla Y now, talk me down

    What I saw from the pre-build MME's, the quality all over looks much better. I think it's amazing that Ford is producing a new platform BEV form scratch, get good specs and certainly a better interior and a much better look for the pricetag. Even if the price is the same as the MY, I think the...

    Dutch people that ordered a Mach-E?

    I know from a different factory I visited they plan cars by color, since they only had two paint-streets and a different color meant cleaning the paint-street. That was back in 2010, but it was a pretty modern factory. Don;'t know if that's the case here as well?
