Congratulations @CaGuy and thanks for the pics!
But you are missing the pictures with your fingers stuck in the panel gaps. They are all the craze nowadays.

I just called my dealer and they confirmed that they offer the same rates that @machefan is showing. I confirmed the numbers at the Tier 0-2 row.

Interestingly, my dealer isn't offering X-Plan discounts. They said they aren't sure if the dealership even gets a kick-back. Not sure what to believe, but I refuse to believe that the dealership is just a pass-thru for Ford corporate.

Didn't you know that before you kept your reservation there?

 

[mmefan]

No other dealer in the area would confirm at the time.

I'm glad they went with the pony on the fob. I do wish they put a frunk button on it instead of the blank, even if it was not functional for a while. But I understand why they didn't. They'd likely get tons of calls from customers complaining that it didn't work, even if they told them it would be enabled at a later date. And then they'd really have some explaining to do if they never end up enabling electronic frunk opening for some reason. I have no doubt that they'll add it to the fob on new builds when and if it gets enabled. Maybe that's part of the reason they're only giving us one fob. Perhaps the second fob will have a frunk button and be sent to us for free. We can hope!

Unless the Frunk release is electronic, it will never happen.

Congrats! I'm on the Central Coast, CA but only ordered on 1/1/2021. I'm loving everyone's 'I got my Mach E' posts. Generates excitement!

When are you expecting to get delivery? I thought the first year was sold out.

It is. The electronic release is just disabled currently.

It is electronic. I have seen the component diagrams.

Sure. Here are key fob pics. Only one key fob. They assume you will use phone key or key pad.

Man I hope it's the pony for all models. The customer car I saw in Dallas had a Ford Oval badge on the key but that was a Premium. Not FE.

Hey wait...maybe the stop ship was to swap out the ponies on the keys

Better than 0.9 for 48? Going by memory but think that was an option. Will be getting mine end of February beginning of March so have to decide what direction on financing I am goi g. Thanks.

I'm on the same boat as you in terms of figuring out financing. The lowest rates I've found thus far are at DCU credit union. I don't have an account there yet and haven't really dug into the requirements for joining, but they offer financing of 1.99% for up to 65 months. There's also an additional discount of .25% for "energy efficient vehicles", which I would imagine our Mach-E's would fall into that category.

Congratulations!

It is. The electronic release is just disabled currently.

Hey, maybe we could eventually get a keyfob OTA to remap the alarm button to open the frunk.

The $7500 is a tax deduction, not a point of sale rebate. You won't see that until you file your taxes next year.

Tax credit, not deduction.

Thanks. Bad news on both fronts (for my tastes). Hate panic buttons (damn things tend to go off when I bend over and the button gets accidentally pressed in my pocket). And I was hoping for the frunk button when the electronic release is allowed to be used in the US (which it supposedly should later via OTA). Oh well, looks like I'll have to crack that one open and tape over the panic contacts like I do for my others.

I’m with you on this one Tim. Extremely disappointing. Key fob is far easier to use than a phone when you have a cart full of groceries etc. this indicates to be that there was no real plan for remote opening if the Frunk. We shall see if that holds.

Sorry if this was asked already....
How does Ford Pass mobile app work now that your car is paired to it? For you, was the app totally worthless and then suddenly began to function once your car arrived?

That is the one thing that has me holding my breath. Is that app going to have any value when my car arrives?
