    Anyone underwhelmed by B&O system...

    It's actually a 560-watt system lol. And I can totally understand the complaints, however, as some have pointed out - the driver/source (or technically speaking the DAC - digital audio converter) is going to be the biggest factor when dealing with a premium sound system. So, it is possibly the...

    Ford giving Mach-E owners additional 250kWh complimentary DC charging - total 500kWh

    This e-mail is totally, totally suspect. The fact that there is a link to click on - the header includes your name in capital letters AND your last name - the mail doesn't state from "Ford Motor Company" as does their typical official branding - a phone number for you to call is a red flag - and...

    First mods and addons to buy?

    Honestly, I've seen a number of Mach-E vids and the front door latches don't bother me as much. Will see once I take delivery. But when I FIRST saw the Mach-E and how cool it looked with "no door handles" - I instantly zoned in on those front latches and figured I'd find a way to remove them haha.

    Premium vs. First Edition

    I think you have provided the response to your reasoning here - you picked FE for the color. If you picked up the Premium and wanted to get it painted Grabber Blue it would likely cost you $7K or much more. And color does play a role in resale, not necessarily value. There will be folks who...

    My build date is Week of Dec 21. Order date 6/29/20 Premium Extended Range - RWD Texas And to answer your question, "According to the EPA, the [federal EV] credit begins to phase out for vehicles the second quarter after the manufacturer has sold 200,000 eligible plug-in electric vehicles." I...

    What is the likelihood being able to see and sit inside a Mach E before our own shows up?

    This would be nice if it is the case but I am assuming this mostly applies to larger dealerships with multiple orders. In speaking with my dealer, a smaller one, they informed me that my order is the first and only Mach-E that is making its way there; they will not have a test vehicle at that...

    Deposits - what are you hearing?

    I can confirm that Ford refunds your $500 reservation deposit - after I Placed the order online and my dealership submitted the order, thereafter, same day, I received my reservation refund after 2 business days (they say allow up to 10 business days.) And I did pay a $1,000 order deposit to my...

    Can not get past Deposit screen when ordering

    Hm, that's something and sorry to hear that. Well I hope they get it cleared up for you!! Here is what happened in my case: I placed my order on Ford's website. My vehicle status went from reservation to 'Ordered' and there is now an "Order Status." The first status was "Order Sent to...

    Interview with Bill Ford says Mach-E U.S. orders start June 24

    Whether the order deposit is refundable or non-refundable is up to the individual dealer who places the order. I would assume the deposit is refundable until you take possession. Though again, each dealer has their own policy.

    Can not get past Deposit screen when ordering

    1) When you say 'selected your card' it sounds like you have your credit card info saved to your browser, yes? If that is the case, I ran into your same issue. There is some error that causes the expiration date to be entered incorrectly. So, the solution here would be to a) enter your card info...

    Latest Reservation Numbers and my Input on the Mach E

    I agree with a lot that you said. However, I think the coupe - in whatever form - will always exist and continue to have a demand. And muscle car folks and car and brand clubs will continue to exist. If it does somehow die someday, it would be for a brief period in time before it is resurrected...

    Latest Reservation Numbers and my Input on the Mach E

    Wow, so it seems it is a bit more complex then. I definitely imagine they have different sequences for different countries/regions. The two GT reservations: was there any indication those two were from different regions? And actually, a bit higher up in this thread.. someone actually did mention...

    Mach-E Waiting Room. Check in with your reservation number!

    They cannot legally do that. People will be people and car salespeople are no different. Those same folks, I imagine (as a prior used car salesman myself,) were attempting to get you to buy some other vehicle NOW. The MSRP is what any 'new' vehicle HAS to sell at. Used vehicles are a different...

    Latest Reservation Numbers and my Input on the Mach E

    I personally don't care what they call this thing - they made an amazing electric "crossover" vehicle. They didn't bastardize their Mustang brand; they bastardized the Mustang brand of the Boys and Girl Clubs that paid the price of admission to be apart of this 50 year muscle car group. Ford's...

    Latest Reservation Numbers and my Input on the Mach E

    So, I think you will be far more impressed with what I've discovered. If you navigate over to the other thread of folks sharing their reservation numbers along with the trim and date - you will come to my same conclusion: each trim has its OWN sequential count. So, as of Nov 26 - there were over...

    Mach-E reservations start strong. First Editions and first model year nearly fully reserved.

    They can't legally charge you over MSRP. Typically, buyers enter a dealership on word of some "amazing deal" that is thousands below sticker only to find out they don't qualify for that advertised price. So, Ford's objective for their new baby is that you enter the dealership with a set price...
