One thing that is really needed is tow points at the rear of the car not just the front. Towing the car from the rear can cause thousands in damage and that seems like a major design flaw to me.

Excellent point. Forgot about that. Given how often they are towed it would be beneficial to have decent tow options

I need it less bouncy

My wife complains everytime when she get in the car .

This may be controversial, but i would prefer is the screen was horizontal instead of vertical. I feel like im always looking down too much.

1. Real door handles.
2. Buttons for climate controls OR at least (for the love of God) put them at the TOP of the oversized iPad so I can keep my eyes on the road when adjusting the temp!
3. Memory seats standard. Seriously, it's already motorized. Can you just add the $20 in sensors for the seat position and call it a day?

The new fisker has a rotating screen So the technology is available

1. No 5 second limit
2. More aggressive steering wheel positions
3. Wider tire options
4. Doors that hit the curb when opened
5. 11.9 second or faster quarter mile
6. Higher top speed
7. Tighter suspension with less trampoline bounce

Cliffs: Make the Mach-E sportier

how often do you need to adjust the temp? I'm not sure the last time I had to adjust the temp; it's probably been weeks or longer.

Maybe not the temp, but I really miss the old physical 3-stage seat warmer button. I adjust that constantly, and it’s really awkward with a UI slider control while driving.

I’d also like front and rear tow points, a manufacturer hitch option for a bike rack so I don’t have to cut my beautiful MME apart, a better cargo cover (maybe a solid one), and a vastly improved climate control system (e-heat is a joke in -5F temps).

I miss the electric adjustable steering column from my last car, and I would like to see upgraded electrical systems so no one ever sees a HVBJB issue ever again. Upgraded chipsets in all control systems for snappier performance and responsiveness would be swell. Don’t use cheap chips, Ford.

I’m not a fan of the audio system. I realize B&O is a Ford partner, but I like the sound quality from Bose systems better. IMO, of course.

Don’t change: the look, the finish, the interior accents, and the instrument cluster screen. They are all pretty awesome. The overall look, interior, and feel of the fit-and-finish was a factor in why I chose the MME over other EVs, so don’t mess that up.

I think this is the quarterly wish list post. Which usually has 2 or 3 good suggestions, and the rest are either impractical, cost prohibitive, total fantasy, or fail to comprehend how trim levels work. But it's always amusing to see what out of the box thinking there is going on.

A Tesla Model X can do it, why can't ford? As I said it is a wish list.

Some of the functionality of the Model X can't be implemented in the MME because of how the two cars are designed and built. Like the falcon doors. They're large, heavy, expensive, and require heavy duty motors to make them open/close.

 

[VaderMachE]

My list is easy. I'd like other wheel choices and add race red to the color selection.?

I still love my Mach E and feel it's still a standout vehicle.?

17. A more functional cargo cover.

Yes! Mazda manage it on the CX-5. Soft cover which can retract and roll up when more cargo needs to be carried.

Deeper space under the boot floor for more storage. Existing body panels can be redesigned.

Make it easier to remove frunk covers without breaking clips etc. I assume Ford decided that these would not need to be taken off very often but in reality... At least have hinged panels for easy access to battery terminals and various fluid checks and the charge cover emergency release. How hard can it be?

Here, I just saved you $40k minimum!

Real door handles!

Climate buttons, no oversized iPad, and memory seats!
