What is the leaf and cloud icon next to the word READY on the IP?

That means the drive mode is Whisper mode.

Have dropped the requisite French fry down between the seat and the console already?

Anyone know what this joystick is? Or what's under that compartment, I tried to lift it but it was kind of stiff so didn't want to break any plastic.

I suppose the hood bumper could cause an avian some joy... ??

The panel covers the headlight adjuster. ??

Thanks I was wondering about this too!

Good to know, I don't need to touch either of these LOL

It was the first order of business - (also recovered and removed during this honeymoon period as one does when you still have that new car smell)

The red stitching comes with the Sport Appearance Package. So you get the same interior you have but black headliner and the stitching is red. Exterior on the Sport package adds the black wheels and the front grille that looks like the GT, but the pony doesn't light up...

Premium trim with black interior is supposed to have the black headliner either way, but I'm seeing premiums like yours with the light gray headliner and black seats like yours. So I think Ford is still figuring out some of the '25 production. I think I prefer the light headliner though -- ours should have it as we ordered the light gray seats.

...I really don't understand Ford's approach to wireless phone charging. Most automakers really struggle with this, when it should be something really basic and easy. I was hoping the new one would be a functional upgrade, but it seems not. And their USB headers are grossly underpowered, which also leads to poor wireless charger performance and phones overheating if/when you do get it to "work".

I like the stalk shifter change for the '25... Going to match up with more of our other vehicles and the stalk shifter with park button aligns with the Teslas we've owned, specifically our Model Y that its replacing. I guess I've just never been a fan of the dial. But the dial is better than the comically large shifter handle in my Lightning. That slowly, mechanically folds out of the way for when you want to fold the console lid out into the "work surface"... Bravo, Ford, LOL..

That red stitching on all the stock photos was really making me stressed. Marketing tip for Ford from a marketing professional, show some variety in those stock images. All the color variations so we know what our options really are.
Not kidding, before I signed the deal sheet I a made them to outside where the car has just rolled off the truck and pull the plastic off the seats to see what the actual interior looked like.

My 2024 Premium has the little divot on the charging door. Did earlier models not have this?

I carefully looked through all the photos (thanks for those). I do use my frunk for a lot. All my charging anything is in there, along with an extension cord, reusable shopping bags and folding pocket lawn chairs (in the summer). Keeps my back seat and cargo area mostly clear. As I'm around $14K under water on my car, I plan on keep it as long as possible so I won't have to worry about giving up the original frunk anytime soon.

I love your loyalty to the car (3rd one). I hope your 2025 keeps you happy for years. Thanks for sharing.

No, they didn’t.

I believe this started with the 2024 models. My 2021 did not have the dimple. ??

 

[Jimrpa]

No, they didn’t.

Does anyone know the purpose of the divot? I saw it and am not sure of the functionality it adds?

There were a lot of people who had trouble closing and latching the charge port door. The dimple makes the correct center of pressure more obvious. ?‍?

I have a 23.5 and I have the dimple.

 

[McSquashy]

The dimple was added on the 2023 job 2s. I remember when shopping for mine, there was a 23.5 GT on the lot that had the dimple. Whereas my 2023 job 1 didn't.
