Considering 2022 Mach-E base model

[yngwenli]

I think the select is a fine EV but for me only downside is not available with extended battery so less range. That is why I went with the California Route 1 model for the additional range. I saw a Select a couple of weeks ago and loved the optional wheels, I'm bummed that I can't get them on mine as an option. As for RWD I'm going AWD because I know I would be disappointed if I didn't do it.

Also I'm going with California because Ford has upped their game for 22 MY. 21 MY California had no heated seats , heated steering wheel or optional AWD, for 22 MY California has all this standard. The California model is also $2500 less than the premium and the only thing missing is 3 extra speakers for the radio and no waving your foot to open the lift gate. Neither of these means anything to me so in my opinion the California Route 1 is the best deal going on the Mach E!

*Correction, California Route 1 AWD is optional but even with that it's $2500 less than a Premium model.*

Older thread, but catching up...I was curious and just configued a CA Rt1 vs. Premium (my order) to see if I should have gone Rt 1 instead (Premium is $2325 more expensive than Rt1 as well w/ the extended range battery which is required on the Rt 1):


Other differences I see from the order website:

CA Rt1
ACTIVEX™ SEATING MATERIAL BLACK ONYX (not sure if the passenger gets power/heated seats)
18" HIGH GLOSS BLACK-PAINTED ALUMINUM WHEEL WITH LOW GLOSS BLACK AERO COVER
UNIQUE CALIFORNIA ROUTE 1 BADGING
BLACK PAINTED DOOR CLADDING & BLACK PAINTED WHEEL LIP MOLDING


Premium
PERFORATED ACTIVEX™ SEATING MATERIAL BLACK ONYX
19" MACHINED-FACE ALUMINUM WHEEL WITH HIGH GLOSS BLACK-PAINTED POCKETS
POWER LIFTGATE
LED PROJECTOR HEADLAMPS WITH SIGNATURE LIGHTING
B&O 10-SPEAKER SOUND SYSTEM
AMBIENT LIGHTING – MULTI-COLOR


If you don't need the extra range (I didn't), it's required on the Rt1 so that's an extra $6k on the Premium (but overall, $3675 more on the R1 vs. Standard Range Premium).

I hate black seats so my only real option was ordering the premium trim to get the Space Grey seats.

Our Select AWD has over 10,000 commute miles and is a very fine vehicle. Efficient & quick & charge at home is real value. Sure I’d like heated seats & steering wheel but their not deal breakers & the pano roof is like “shrug”. Besides, not interested in paying 10k+ for “more” when more isn’t the value proposition. I’ve driven 300 miles away and in bad weather, 2 mountain passes, charge at EA and no big deal. You won’t be disappointed.

I have SR RWD Select myself - I will just ++ everything @JSeis said. I have 8,600 mostly commute miles on my MachE.

When I ordered my Select RWD SR Dec of '19, you could get the com/appear pkg for $2300 extra.....included w/ other things were the heated seats and steering wheel......after having heated seats in my c max energi, they were a must for me.....I rarely used heat other than the seats in the 7+ years I had the c max.....

is that pkg still available??

Same here exactly. If the GT offered the grey seats, I would have ordered that. But went with our premium order like you because we dont want a black interior. Cant wait to see the Grabber Blue with that grey interior. I bet its really sweet. ?
