Everything Works
  • As context: I just got the MME last week after 5 months wait. I am moving on from a 2010 Jeep Liberty, so keep that in mind when reading my exceedingly positive impressions below.
  • I've been on this forum since around the time I ordered the Premium Standard Range RWD Mach-E and have expected to receive the car with many issues as a result of reading this forum. This could not have been further from the truth. Perhaps I've been lucky, perhaps I've had to wait long enough that Ford fixed many issues (Frunk divider, two fobs, PAAK updates, Frunk button, etc...). But everything just works!
  • I have had no issues with charging at several Chargepoint locations in the Coral Gables/Miami area. I have only had issues charging at a Porsche Mobile Charger, which I am still trying to figure out.
  • Driving is a blast. I do think the rear tires should be wider, but our car will be meant mostly as a family car as my wife and I are expecting a baby in a couple of months. One pedal driving is smooth, the instant power is fun, and BlueCruise works WAY better than I expected on most roads down here. I do wish lane centering allowed for some input to stay closer to the left edge of the lane.
  • SPACE. This car is incredibly spacious. The cabin is so comfortable. My 6'2 friend sat in the rear seat behind the passenger seat yesterday with no issues, while the passenger seat was very far back.
I wanted to keep this short, because there are plenty of long reviews out there. But I wanted to ease any anxierty people might be having as they wait for their MMEs. The works much better than what you might expect when reading the forums. Most of the people facing issues seem to be outliers (perhaps like me with the Porsche charger.) Feel free to DM or reply here with any questions.

Nice quick positive points. How about a picture? You know the junkies we are "while we wait ? ". Best of luck.
