Picked up my car yesterday (Angela Krause Ford, Alpharetta GA), but did the paper work Monday. Traded in '21 Mach E STD RWD and got $1500 more than we paid. It had 10500 miles and was 11 month old, so pretty happy. Car is awesome but will miss the Hands Free tail gate; however, I now have a frunk button (under access) that works and a frunk button in Ford pass that also works. Also discovered that Alexa in also now available and working which was a pleasant surprise. Couldn't be happier.

I won’t know for sure until I get mine later tonight, but it’s extremely likely the hardware for the hands free lift gate is still there and just needs to be activated via FORSCAN.

My Grabber Blue Mach E Premium AWD EX is home at last! I've put about 75 miles on it already, just trying to get to know the vehicle a bit better. So far I still love it :)

Oh, and any doubts I had that this was a "Real Mustang(TM)" were put to bed when I gunned it making a right onto the ramp in Unbridled mode and the rear end rotated around on me. I was not expecting that! This thing is gonna be a blast.

One of the first things I did with my Premium RWD SR back in the fall was disable the hands free liftgate. It was so flaky. Happy to not pay for it.

What I want is Kia like Smart Liftgate where if you stand near the tail it will beep three times and open up automatically. I thought that would be useless but it's an amazing feature.

The Lyriq has the Cadillac sign projected down on the ground as a guide for where to kick. Think it’s a great idea.

I'd rather not hunt and peck for an area to kick while carrying stuff. The Smart Liftgate is easiest... just approach the rear with the fob (in your pocket) and the rear hatch opens.

The delivery date for my car to the dealer has now moved to 7/11-7/17. That’ll be over a month in the KC railyard waiting for a truck to go 20 miles. 😢

I can't wait to update my icon with an actual picture of my car. I may go to the dealer to snag one pre-recall repair and then update it again after I take delivery.
You remembered! 😉

Also, what's your outdoor charger setup like? I think you might have posted pictures already but I gave up on looking before I got back far enough.

Mine is likely in the Elkhart railyard waiting for a truck to go 9 miles 🙁
Delivery date still 7/4 - 7/10. I know it won't be delivered 7/4 because the dealership will be closed.

Haha 61 pages now! And nice setup you got there!
All compliments should be directed to the extremely professional, licensed exectricians who did the install for me. While I could probably have done the work myself, it would not have looked nearly that clean.

My car hopped an AOK railcar. I don't think there's a way to track that. I learned that these are predominately leased railcars on someone else's track. Things I never thought of...

Ford Chat is getting more and more "remindful" that I could be talking with my dealer about that. I think they're getting slammed.
