True story bro.Just wait until you get used to it. Fast is never fast enough.
Agreed!! No reason I ever need to go faster than my Premium goes; but I'd like to!!!
These posts are always interesting to read, considering the look of the car, especially inside, hasnāt really changed much at all, (2025 model brings some minor tweaks, still largely the same design tho). but going from a near base trim to top of the pack is a substantial upgrade Iām sure!My 2021 Select just died - the High Voltage Battery Junction Box had a stuck contactor and the car would no longer start. I got the bright idea to try and trade it in rather than wait for the repair to be complete. I really didn't have high hopes.
McGovern Ford of Framingham MA gave me an incredible deal on a new 2024 GTPE. They took my car in trade because it was a warranty service and gave me what I wanted for it. After some back and forth, they gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. The purchase price is almost what I paid for the 2021 select - absolutely incredible change in EV market dynamics and 0% financing.
First impression: Holy Moly, I had no idea what I was missing.
First off, this car looks incredible. I've never gone for red before, but damn if it doesn't look stunning with the black GT accent trim. The 2024 GTPE wheels are magnificent and look amazing with the Brembo calipers. I've got the lighted pony badge now and I'm not ashamed to admit how much I wanted that one little feature. The interior accent lights are such a treat, and the materials and fit and finish are top notch - way better than the Select. The seats are amazingly comfortable, and so far, I have no complaints about the glass roof.
As I pulled out of the dealer I got my first real dose of the power. The car is astonishingly fast. I'm looking forward to the much longer range and faster charging speeds. After about 30 miles of driving I can also say that the Magneride suspension in the 2024 is FAR BETTER than the suspension in my Select, which was my only big gripe about a car that I really loved. The suspension was just awful and constantly sounded like it was just bottoming out. It was literally painful to experience on poor city roads.
I'm looking forward to learning about bluecruise and experimenting with that as well. We'll see how things go - Right now I'm drunk on new-car smell.
I'm somewhat cowed by the HVBJB failure in my old car - it's going to take a while for me to get over that and start really trusting this. I'm hoping this third-generation part has finally gotten the failure rate to nil.
But apart from that, I'm over the moon right now! Wish me luck,
My 24 GTPE arrived two days ago! Upgrading from a ā21 premium extended that I loved. The GT is amazing.

Ford's discontinuing Vapor Blue Metallic in 2025. Blame me because I like it; as a grudging second choice to Highland Green, which Ford won't produce because that's my favorite.
Ford is also getting rid of Grabber Blue Metallic. I almost got talked into an Eruption Green Metallic car but it had a glass roof (complete deal-breaker for me) and the Bronze package (why would I pay extra for bronze wheels just so the dealer can put them on my old car and sell them with that one?).
So, my 2022 Premium appears to be severely underwater based on its current value compared to my loan. The online estimates say it's roughly worth $12k less than what I owe! It's like the 2008 housing crisis all over again, writ small.
Someone from my old town of Framingham. Back then when I attended Framingham State College.

Iām not saying that at allā¦I got what Edmundās estimated my car to be worth. If I was that far underwater I doubt I would have even attempted this.
What type of discount did you get? What was the trade? KBB, NADA, EDMUNDS? I am looking to get out my 23 GT for a GT with magna ride but the numbers I'm getting are ridiculous. The non magna ride is way too stiff. 30k trade in, less than a year later when I paid 48 after rebates on a car with a 54500 sticker. Painful.

I went to Edmunds and got an enormous range of its estimated value. So, maybe things aren't as bad as I thought, although Edmund's estimate still puts me underwater on my loan by $9k.
. I expect a call if you do
