    Walking away from my ‘23 order - any takers?

    This is a heads-up to anyone in or near Louisiana looking for a ā€˜23 with no ADM. My build date is March 6 so I expect my dealer should be getting it in late April. Shadow Black Premium, RWD/SR, sticker at $54,975 so it sneaks in under the IRA MSRP cap. If interested I can connect you with my...

    Ford CEO Farley challenges dealers to cut EV cost to customers by $2,000

    My dealer has a ā€˜22 Select in stock with 590 miles for $58,995 (window sticker is $48,905 MSRP and a ā€˜21 Premium with 22k miles (formerly a mannequin vehicle, only owned by the dealership) for $61,995 (original MSRP $56,040). Both have been available for a few weeks now. Yet this same dealer...

    Yet another "My dealer said" post about MY23 order banks opening. Plus F150 Lighting pics!

    Likewise, I got to borrow a Lightning Pro trim overnight from my dealer last week. It really is a great truck. And the 12ā€ screen was more than adequate - in fact I liked having more physical controls for climate and stuff. Iā€™d be pretty happy with an XLT, but once I spec the other options I...

    2023 Mach-E New Color: Vapor Blue Metallic

    Agreed. Hoping it will be a good fit for the Premium without the blackout package (I refuse to call it Nite Pony).

    2023 Mach-E New Color: Vapor Blue Metallic

    Me likey. Once we find out how long the build times are when the order banks open, Iā€™ll either be ordering a premium in this color or Iā€™ll break down and order an F150. šŸ¤·šŸ»

    Waiting for ‘23 orders to open- response from dealer

    My dealer just told me that theyā€™re ā€œbeing told late Septemberā€ now for 23 order banks.

    Better seats?

    This is kind of an issue for me too, Iā€™m hoping one day we will at least get the option. After driving a couple of different Mach E loaners for a total of about a week, I realized that pushing my seat back further than I usually do and telescoping the steering wheel further out makes a big...

    Car Seats Installed - Front and Rear Facing

    I had a Mach E loaner last weekend from my dealer, and my two kids fit beautifully, one booster with a back and one standard bulky front facing seat. Still had room to pull down the middle armrest. It was a great fit, and Iā€™m coming from an Expedition EL for reference. I donā€™t see this being an...

    What do you think the used MME market will be like?

    And the Model Y roof panel that came loose on the highway?

    Mach-E Steals Major Tesla EV Share in February

    Same, the Mach E will be my first EV. Iā€™m at a point where an EV is a good fit for my life (wife has an Expedition for when we need it, my daily mileage is far less than 200 miles, and I can easily install a charger in the garage). And it still manages to be practical for family use.

    Mach-E Steals Major Tesla EV Share in February

    Early adopters of the Mach E are weighted toward people already comfortable with owning an EV, so this makes sense for the first quarter of sales. But Ford's target market isn't Tesla customers, it's existing Ford customers to start with. Watch what happens through the rest of this year to ICE...

    What do you think the used MME market will be like?

    As excited as I am about owning a Mach E, we are a strictly committed "one debt at a time" family, so I'm looking at probably 12-18 months before my wife's Expedition is paid off. We are also usually a "never buy cars brand new" family, but the tax incentives ($10k total for me in Louisiana)...
