OK, here is the dash display from the Bolt. A whole lot more information about power usage!

Yea, to each his own. I don't want all of that stuff on my dash. I really don't care about instantaneous energy usage or regen strength. If they add things like that to the MME, I hope I can disable it.

To echo a few previous entries, my super nitpicky top 2 items:

Rear wiper - what's the point when it only wipes about 25% of the rear window.

The number #1 annoyance for me is the little Ford logo on the rear hatch that is perfectly positioned to reflect up on the rear window, which is perfectly framed to show up every time I look in the rearview mirror. Don't know why, but this drives me bonkers.

Since these are the only two I could come up with, I'm very happy with my MME.

Another logo I've never noticed. Where is this logo?

Is that the American counterpart of this European one??

It’s the standard mobile charger that comes with the car in the US. So if your picture is the standard mobile charger that comes with the European model, then yes. Looks like yours is designed without a clip.

The Lincoln design team has different goals than the Ford design team. Obviously.

My guess is if you really prefer Lincoln then in a year or two there will likely be a Lincoln version using the MME drivetrain and it might be more to your liking. Trade!

Heh, the dash is the same as my Fusion, except that my Fusion has no buttons on the dash. I wish it did. Those touch controls suck in my Fusion. My brother’s Fusion has buttons for the HVAC, but I hate the rotary gear shift in his car.

It's stitched onto the cargo cover and you see the reflection in the rearview mirror.

There is no logo stitched into my cargo cover - unless you mean the little Ford part number ID tag which should be on the bottom side away from the glass. If this is what you mean, turn your cover over as it's installed upside down.

Here's a shot of the top of the cover in my car.

This.

I would like the ability to fold the rear seats down without having to do it at the seat...our 2011 Honda can do it why not a 2021 Ford?

Such as a button somewhere that uses a motor to raise and lower them?

1. Give the wireless charger a stronger EM field. I have an iPhone 12 Pro with a standard leather case. I can’t seem to position it so that it stays “connected” to the charger. I’m NOT expecting a MagSafe connection. But the charger doesn’t have enough juice to get through the rubber mat and the leather case to continuously charge the phone. I shouldn’t have to take the case off every time I get in the car.

2. Smooth out the hump on the B pillar. (See photo) It’s just at the right height to dig uncomfortably into my shoulder.

3. Round over the edge along the top of the console tray. (See photo) It’s just sharp enough to dig uncomfortably into my calf. I’m trying to figure out if there’s a small foam pad available that I can hang over the edge.

I’m hoping Ford can fix 1. with a software update. If not, I suppose a permanent fix, like those for 2. and 3. will have to wait a few years for the next edition MME. Overall, I love the car. I agree with many of the suggestions in this thread. Some I just find nit picky. (Ford logo in the windshield? Okay odd location, yes. But come on: it’s a Ford.)

People need to remember that more weight = lower driving range. It may not be significant to every requested feature, but it is the case that motorized lifts weigh more than manual ones. This is why I am happy there is no spare tire, and if there was one I'd take it out.

The Tesla Y Model has buttons at the rear hatch door. I think this is a very nice feature. I don't think they can raise the rear seats automatically, but can drop them down.
