The interesting bit (for me):


Now for the Mach-E the rollout and arrival on lots is quite ambiguous and delays are to be expected. In fact, Ford sent out the following statement to dealers regarding the Mach-E arrival:

“With great anticipation we are thrilled to share that the first 21MY Mustang Mach-Es are shipping from the plant and heading their way to your dealership for customer deliveries. We are projecting a couple thousand will be released for shipping this year and anticipate some vehicles will arrive by the end of this year. Please note Retail Customers will receive automatic email alerts on their vehicle status from Produced, Shipped and Estimated Delivery or they can view status via their account on Ford.com. Dealers can check status through vehicle visibility. As customers begin to arrive to take delivery of these first Mustang Mach-E units, there are three very important Pre-delivery items we want to remind you of: Ensure that the vehicle is at 100% state of charge at time of delivery Leave time prior to delivery for pre-conditioning of the vehicle to ensure that the battery has the opportunity to reach optimal range and performance state while still on the charger. Also, do not forget to remind the customer of the benefits of pre-conditioning their vehicle via the setting of departure times through the FordPass App or the in-vehicle SYNC4A touchscreen. Click here to access a Frontline article that serves as a good refresher on battery management. In order to ensure accurate battery and range readings re-set the vehicle’s driver history settings through the SYNC4A touchscreen. Follow these steps to do so: From the home screen tap the vehicle icon in the top left corner > Settings > Vehicle > EV Diving History Reset At day of delivery please reference the “Know Before You Go” guide – click here – to ensure the customer gets the fully connected vehicle experience. See EFC 08700 for Further Launch Support Initiatives from FCSD."

Festivus is not a made up Seinfeld holiday, despite what this article claims. Seinfeld may have brought attention to Festivus, but he didn't invent it.

Uh-oh. A paradox singularity has occurred, imminent destruction of reality. The internet is always right. Two things on the Internet directly contradict each other. Warning! Warning!

Seriously, thanks for the link. You learn something new everyday.

I feel like I’ll need to print this off and bring it to my dealer with me when I pick up the car.

Anytime you cite Wikipedia as your “source”, you’ve already lost the argument.

Aren't all holidays made up?

Fair enough. Carry on then.

Exactly. And Festivus is fun!

Life Day isn't

I've tried to find the documentary all about this holiday, but I'm having trouble finding it.

it must be the only part of the entire universe that hasn't been issued in like a hundred different edited versions?
