I just received my Mach-E First Edition (in California)!

Is the internet streaming using you're phone's data via bluetooth, or using the car's own cellular connection? If the later, do you know if that's included, or part of a paid package?

I used my phone via bluetooth. My kids have used the car's hotspot (cellular connection with AT&t). It performed well too. It is a 3gb trial with At&t. Then it is $20/month ongoing charge after the trial period. If you pay yearly the cellular goes down to $200/year or $16.67 / month.

Favorite things are a long list...car performance is fantastic. Fun to drive, comfortable and a very well designed vehicle. I really love the screen, layout and function. Very well done and I can't imagine going back to a small screen. I am a big fan of the one-pedal, sensitivity is great. The stereo is fantastic, this is the upgraded stereo but its fantastic. The seats are amazing too. I am not a person that gets emotionally attached to cars, but this car is well worth the wait.

I am so excited for Ford and you early buyers and kicking myself daily hearing the rave reviews from people who don’t get paid for clickbait reviews. Thanks for sharing!

Of course it makes it harder to wait for my order to be drawn. Somehow (don’t laugh) I had no idea Ford was doing paid reservations on the MME until my Christmas holiday.

Someone wanted tire info. Here are the photos of the Michelin tires.

thanks!

Michelin Primacy Tour A/S Tires | Michelin (michelinman.com)

doesn't look like a bad tire at all. If I read the picture right (and I might not be), it's H rated, so 130 MPH, which is a solid rating for the kind of driving this car will be doing. The Michelin site suggests quiet with solid snow performance as well.

Funny that Michelin's page doesn't list the Mach E among the cars it fits.

Can you name a few things you don't like, if there's any. I heard mixed feedbacks about the steering and suspension, how's this compare to other SUVs? Or Model Y?

OK, I'll assume they did it correctly- I imagine the clean fuel website would have made a point of it actually reducing the sales tax if it was the case. Thanks for the clarification.

California giveth and California taketh away! That is Sacramentality for you!

The only things I don't like are the unreliable Ford App and iPhone as a Key. Both are not consistent in connecting and information updates. And yes the frunk only opening from the inside of the car is a bit annoying.

Steering is a positive, very responsive and good overall feel for the road. The suspension is great if you want comfort, less great if you want sporty. I think suspension is relative based on your expectations (and steering too). I have not driven a Model Y, but I can tell you the car drives very much like a Lexus Rx350, with more power. I view that as a positive based on what I wanted.

If someone wants a more sporty car, I assume the GT is going to be the model for that type of performance and suspension.

Have you been able to activate your membership for the "FordPass Charging Network" yet? Are there any details about what that membership even includes?

Curious as to more specific on Phone-As-A-Key issues you've encountered. I know the FordPass app may not be reliable, as it's relies on network connectivity, but PaaK shouldn't have too many issues, I'd hope.

What specifically has been your issues with Phone-As-A-Key?

There are several different Primacy tires. From the photo these are the correct tires. Tire Rack picked them with the car name. Primacy A/S

Me too. The bluetooth antenna are in the C-pillar (rear hatch) and side mirror. Reception should be good everywhere around the vehicle.
