Mach-E Impressions & Photos/Videos from Koons Ford, Silver Spring, MD

But wait, wheels and tires

Did someone say Pressure?

and another gratuitous wet pony

Finally, let's go inside for a look around.

I didn't want to repeat what everyone else had posted, so
Backseat armrest and cup holders

Backseat vents and USB ports:

My wife was really impressed by the extremely practical little touches. Every "holder" has a nice rubber mat floor (cup holders, phone tray, tray under the phones, etc.). The rubber mats have lips to keep stuff in and is removable for easy cleaning.
Front cup holders:

The under the phone tray:

(I didn't photograph the phone tray mat and the pony underneath as someone else already shared those).

She loved the hinged floating armrest that stays up if you want it to:

and the inside compartment under it (with its own little LED light) where the 12v outlet and fob holder reside -- currently full of cleaning supplies!

And looking up, one thing is obvious about that gorgeous Panoramic Glass Roof: it is quite tinted.

To your left you see the Glass Roof, to the right the passenger side window. From the overhead lights you can see how much it is tinted along with being low emissivity glass. This is part of what keeps it cool.

I checked out the mystery button next to the mirror -- a mystery

It's not the microphone for the phone and other pickups as I think that's here over the driver:

More lights and controls between the mirror and the sunglasses compartment.

One downer I saw. Is it just me or does it seem to others like headlamp covers/lenses really shouldn't let in so much moisture that they fog like this?

Maybe it's a fastener and replaced when servicing that component?

Or it could be the transmission source for the death ray equipped "sentry mode" optional/paid OTA update.

My ICe vehicles dont do that so yup you are right

 

[ChasingCoral]

Almost forgot -- the picture off my wife's phone. For those of you wondering if your really huge phone will fit, here's an iPhone 11 Pro in the charging side

You can see a little rubber spacer nub on the left that could be removed with a razor blade or utility knife if you have a Plus-sized phone.

If you really need extra space (or maybe for a tablet?) you can remove the rubber tray and lay the phone right on the inductive charging pad (again, someone already posted a photo of this in a Mach E Tour visit).

Some screens and displays:


I found that same screen to enable/disable Valet mode but didn't find the screen that gives you the valet code. I didn't try entering a pin to see what it gives you. I'll put that on my list for a "planned" visit and on a car that isn't about to be driven to another meeting. I didn't want to mess anything up and tick off Zach!

Pretty sure you enter a pin for the ensuing Valet session on this screen. It should prompt you to re-enter the chosen pin to ensure the entered pin matches. Then, once the pin is used a third time to exit Valet mode, the system resets.

The process would need to be repeated for the next Valet session.

No. But...

Guess what part on a car has the most complicated tooling mold? So hard to get right until production. Not too worried about a July car. Famous last words.

Our last two Toyotas have done this too. It contributes to ending up with a film on the inside of the lenses. My truck even had standing water in the headlamp cover until I drilled tiny holes for it to drain out.

Tomorrow I am hoping I can get to see the Mach E locally - I have an appointment for 12 noon

I really hope this is a July car issue. ?

And I don't know about you but I still can't get enough of those turn signals!

Did these Ford guys know you from this forum? I know some of them lurk on here.

I think if you press the ‘mystery button’ the roof flies off.

Tesla has a problem with mist in the light casings. It’s a build flaw. I really hope production models will not have this fault.
