Can someone who has taken delivery post the American Automotive Labeling Act sticker?

[Magnetoreluctance]

Just to entertain my curiosity, I'd like to see the sticker on a Mach E that shows the final assembly point, parts content by country, and source of the zoom-y bits.

Ford apparently has not submitted the information to NHTSA yet as of this writing. https://www.nhtsa.gov/part-583-american-automobile-labeling-act-reports

Attached an example from the EcoSport as well...

An issue is that these may be removed before customer delivery, even though it says remove by customer. I took a picture of it from my last car before they took it to prepare for delivery.

I didn't see it on my car. Had to wait for the wife to get home (she 'stole' it when she went to work). Checked the glovebox and no such sticker.

Eh, what's a violation of federal law amongst friends? ?

I'm sure 99% of customers don't care one iota and appreciate the dealer removing it. I'm just in the 1%; Bernie is going to yell at me now.

Here you go:

I’m surprised that the parts content is so Mexican, I didn’t realize Mexico’s component industry was so developed.

Also by comparison, here is what this looks like for a 2006 Mustang GT automatic.

Well, it doesn’t actually have an engine or transmission, so maybe those just get set to Mexico because that’s where the plant is. Or maybe the battery pack being assembled in Mexico tips the scales. Does anyone know if the motors are made in Mexico?

Thank you! Very interesting, I thought the battery was coming from Poland and it would show up in the parts content, but maybe not!

BorgWarner has extensive operations in Mexico, would make sense they'd make the drive units there.

The cells are coming from Poland - LG probably doesn't supply the completed battery, just the cells. When the cells are turned into a battery pack inside Mexico, do they count suddenly as Mexican for this calculation, I wonder?

I bet they do.

I very much care. Outsourcing to make a quick buck is killing this country's future. Unfortunately there are enough other distractions so no one notices.
