Here's the official letter sent from Ford to dealers:
Hello EV Leads and Dealer Principals, The 2021 Mustang Mach-E Job 2 (including Mustang Mach-E GT) order bank, order guide, and price list will launch on the afternoon of Monday, April 26th*. Customers will be invited to convert Mustang...

Motion R Design is entering this market while things are hot by introducing a body kit and wheels for the electric crossover.
The kit includes a new grille that removes the pony logo and adds slats to the nose. The front fascia is more aggressive by incorporating...
The group view is a great sight to see considering all the negative automaker news this week!
So the Cuautitlán Mexico plant is still operating? That's one advantage right now of having international plants for automakers.
Good explanation about one pedal driving in the Mach-E from the CNET Roadshow ride along review: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/cnet-roadshow-mach-e-mustang-awd-first-ride-review-winter-driving.579/
"There's a driver-selectable One Pedal setting that operates independently of whatever...
Great read and video! Author sounds genuine impressed by the ride along experience.
I liked this particular bit of info on chassis engineering: "We also suddenly got all of our best dynamics engineers on it." They definitely took the engineering seriously.
This will be my first Ford and first American car since college. I'm curious about fellow members' perceptions of the traditional big 3 US companies - Ford, FCA, GM....
If the Mach-E wasn't a Ford product but was instead by FCA or GM, would you guys still be interested? Putting aside how...
Tesla includes a mesh cover for the Model X's extended windshield/roof. Maybe Ford will include such a thing too and if not, the aftermarket will take care of it.
When I test drove the i3 its brake regen was way too strong for my taste. So strong that it felt like driving a golf cart. I'm glad the Mach-E will have ability to set the brake regen level as well as disabling it if the driver wants.
Discounting a post just because it's from Reddit is just plain silly or denial. Clearly those were well thought out and reasonable explanations for why Tesla may experiences parts shortages.
Simply saying that Tesla's parts shortages is due to selling too many cars explains much less than that...
And the new Bronco is expected to sell 200k units/yr. So the new Bronco and F-150 will certainly move Ford's stock price more than Mach-E sales. Good thing for Ford shareholders is that both of them will start production this year.
Also good for shareholders it the fact that the Mach-E will be...
Agreed it's just much more aggressive looking IMO. You've seen the high end wheels already though right?
One of the best OEM wheels I've seen in recent times. ?
Tesla's parts shortage issue is not due to sales volume, where did you read that? This post from reddit explains the reasons:
No national distribution system. Most automakers have 10-25 warehouses across the USA with significant inventory in each. Tesla doesn't have that because they spent all...
This is exactly what I've begun doing too. I've got a verbal promise from my preferred local dealer to charge no ADM but in case that falls through I want to have a couple of backup dealers who won't charge ADM. That way I can just switch my order over without having to scramble.
Hadn't even thought about the energy draw that Sentry Mode requires if it has to be fully on all the time.
So Sentry Mode is simply on all the time and doesn't have ability to only record when motion / object proximity is detected?
So it took about 100 days to hit approximately 40k reservations. At this rate the first year's production of 50k units may all be reserved within the next 1-1.5 months.
If an OTA update is a big enough performance upgrade, I don't mind seeing them charge for it. That's been Tesla's way as of late anyway so the market is prepared for it if Ford decides to do the same with Mach-E updates.
I do think Tesla is starting to get greedy though... like $7k for FSD...
