Can someone ask about a hitch?

Too late, they are done. The Battery upgrade question was not really answered for what I think they were asking. Can you later get the entire battery replaced with a higher capacity one. Looking at other MFG I am going to say not from Ford.

That was fast paced! Really cool, and glad they answered a lot of questions in just a few minutes. And yeah, I understand they are marketing-style answers, but still, very impressed.

Some of the behind the scenes folks are probably now telling Lisa that battery capacity is measured in kilowatt hours, not kilowatts.

They didn't mention the "gift packs" for early registered attendees. If any of you signed up for that and receive them in the mail, please share a photo of the stickers or whatever.

Yeah, unfortunately I do not think she understands what people are asking. Like upgrading the battery - of course you cannot add more cells into your battery, who would doubt? But about unmounting your current battery and replacing with the new, bigger range one? If I remember they were talking about battery being replaceable? Or did I get it wrong.

Also, the question about timing between build date and delivery - somehow she redirected it to an applying Tax Credit question I do not think I like her...

I think it mostly depends on the dealer... My company was able to buy a new Nissan Leaf pack direct from Nissan and the price was not too bad. They would only sell it if they could put in the car.

Yeah, a bit of political marketing answers.

Didn't help that the email link didn't work, some people aren't smart enough or care enough to figure out a different way to view.

Never got the email to the event. Searched all over the place.

 

[FredT]

Yeah, a bit of political marketing answers.

Has anyone found anything but "targeted range" for any models at Ford.com?

I heard her a clear no in her presentation. Looking at pictures from the plant I'm not surprised. It doesn't look like the battery pack drops out for swap as easily as it does on other EV's.

Not sure how long this link will work, but here is a replay:

Last night they said you would have to be one of the first registered, and attend. I did both. But I did not get anything about that. Will let you know if I do.

The "It's not a Mustang" crowd was online in the comments in force! ?

Anytime "they" talk, tell them that this monstrosity was considered a mustang.....

In the email that came about 30 minutes prior to the event start, several of the links were broken (they weren't actually linked)... But the sweepstakes entry link DID work.

Now given that only about 130 people attended, and fewer than 130 had probably met the sweepstakes qualifications (a Mach-E reservationist who was logged in to Ford Horizons and had pre-registered for this video), this means the odds of winning are higher.

So now that I am reading the PDF of the rules... I'm starting to get somewhat hopeful as there is a maybe 1 in 100 or so chance I could WIN the Connected Charge Station that I was planning to "buy" with FPR points anyway. That would be most awesome.
