When I sent for my ride, I asked about brake lights on the one pedal driving, and she didn't know. However, every question I asked I asked the people there that they didn't know the answer to, was typed into a phone to find out. After a few of these, they will be a lot more knowledgeable.
Not sure about one-pedal, but adaptive cruise does use the brake lights, so I don't see why one-pedal wouldn't.

Why don't those Grabber Blue FE's have the red brake calipers?
Same question. If you look at the photos from EU, a lot of the Premiums do have them as well. Pre-production anomalies?

ground clearance is a real concern, especially with that glossy front bumper
I took a few pics today that really show where the battery is taking away from ground clearance. I think perhaps more ground clearance changes the vehicle to be more towards the truck end of the SUV spectrum.

Here's a follow-up to my earlier post today with a couple of additional points.

I'd always wondered about the wisdom of using gloss black for the trim on the Premium -- showing dirt, scratches, etc. Although the gloss black looks sharp, the attached photo backs my concern...

The photo also gives a clearer view of what I think is one of the cameras disguised in the open door button.

I also asked about the 1-pedal driving. He didn't have a lot of driving at speed, but said that at lower speeds, such as a parking lot, it was abrupt enough to be disconcerting. I'm not too concerned -- he was driving pre-production cars and we all know that these things will be tweaked and fine tuned for the production versions.

I also asked whether or not the brake lights came on during deacceleration under aggressive regen. He didn't know but was curious to find out next opportunity when someone was following behind. Clearly, having no brake lights under this scenario could catch following drivers by surprise thus risking tail-enders.

Looks like a great place for some XPEL!

My Rogue is 7.4" ground clearance and 66" height
The mazda3 ground clearance is 5.5 - most sedans are close to that I believe -

Man that Infinite Blue is Sharpe and every popping. With the white/grey interior. Might switch from red to Infinite Blue. it just sparkles and sticks out
I’m glad I ordered infinite blue with space grey. I was concerned that infinite blue was going to be “just another gray”. It looks great! And I think the gray interior looks much better with it than the usual black!

The Mach E Tour map seems to be dynamic. I wondered if they lost locations as it was 79 yesterday and 77 today. Then I realized they are dropping past sites.

Interestingly, it looks like this road tour is being managed through an outside agency, Jackson Dawson Communications. There are Ford reps at some but not all all events. For instance, the event in Somerville, NJ had 3 cars, two of which were part of the J-D marketing crew and the third was Ford. The marketing folks do seem to be very well trained on the product. At least one is on the road driven by a member of the marketing team and the other goes in a trailer (towed by a Tremor, BTW :cool: .)

Can someone also get pictures of the owner's manual screen? Can it be downloaded from the car onto a USB drive?

Don’t know if it can be downloaded, but when connected to the internet, it will supposedly offer videos on the screen.
