With the Premium, you get the option to choose battery size where the FE makes you get the extended range. For me the difference is $8200 ($59,640 for the First Edition or $51,440 for the Premium) not including X plan or other incentives.

On one hand, I get the battery size I want, the color I want, the interior I want and save $8200.
On the other hand, I am stuck with the larger battery, get slightly more sprint performance, get the red stitching and body colored wheel arches and quicker delivery but it's more expensive.

Leaning towards waiting for the Premium instead. I would be switching from a Priority Never First Edition to a Priority Next to Never Premium. What is another 4-6 months between friends anyway?

4.8 secs vs 5.1 secs 0-60
And are those 0.3 seconda THAT important? The vast mayority of Mach-E owners will not care about such a small difference. I prefer a slower unit and a $2,000 or greater discount.

The nice thing is while there are tradeoffs of performance vs efficiency, there is no need to trade off performance vs. discounts.

That's a 6% improvement in performance -- nice!

That 0.3 may be the difference between your passenger having yellow pants vs brown pants when you gun from a red light.

I was just chatting with a friend who is also my A.R.T. chiropractor about the 0-60 times. His comment? "Whiplash every trip! Job security for life!" He was impressed.

If you go to the Ford Mach-E page and scroll way down towards the bottom you can select the Premium model and get the new updated 0 to 60 times. Click on the i for additional details.

I can't get to the ford Mach E page, it's broken for me. I can only access the order a Mach E page and that's where I get the info.

I was actually answering @ARK. Wherever he, or anybody else, can find the information is great.

The website seems to be behaving better this evening now.

Can you say where this was published, I believe the Ford website just says mid-5 second range for both standard and extended range?
That was "targeted". Looks like they overshot the target by a little bit...

Thank you, I didn’t realize these were posted today with all the commotion over the price drops.

Maybe for you that is a better deal, but a 6% lower cost is what I prefer.if I can get it.

You got one today if you had an order in for a Premium RWD. Plus a performance boost. These are all good things.

Still not understanding why 0-60 times are different from the compare specs section on the Mach E page to the ordering section battery selection page. .3-.4 seconds different between the two.
