Ordered from https://www.wholesalefordpartsfast.com/ who had the best price ($294.46). I also ordered my Ford MME floor and cargo mats from the same place. Great service. The cover was backordered so it did take two months to come in. Now for the review. The cover is very form fitting (see pic below) and is thin - no padding. So, It will protect from dust, leaves, water, sun (has not rained yet, so no comment on whether it's waterproof). Love the logos on the side, back and front. Elastic at the bottom so it should take stiff winds. The mirrors have form fitting pockets and there is a flap for the charge door. I'm afraid opening the flap and charging with the cover on is not practical, as the cooling vents are blocked by the cover. It probably could be modified with some sewing skills but I don't think it would be worth the effort - just don't charge when covered.
Is it worth it? For the outlined purposes, yes. For heavier duty protection - not so much. My $69 Amazon cover for my Prius V is lined and heavier duty, but also is not very form fitting. So if you need a lightweight cover that fits really well, has MME logos and have an extra $300 - go for it. If you need heavier duty protection, look elsewhere. But you will probably spend $300 or more for one that is form fitting.

It looks like it would be very easy just to raise the front of the cover a foot or so to clear the front vents so you would have adequate cooling during charging. The elastic at the front should prevent it from sliding back down over the vents.

I'll have to try and see if I detect any blockage anywhere else around the car. I'll report back in a few days. She's at 100% now with a guess-o-meter of 314 miles range (4EX)!

I can report (after 24 hours of rain) that the cover is NOT waterproof. It reminds me of parachute material. I doesn't hold much water ( not much heavier) if the fabric is wet, but it's not waterproof at all. So, If you need that feature, look elsewhere. Still, very nice fitting and provides the protection I needed (sun, leaves, droppings,)

It is easy to do. I have one and keep it raised just above the vents without needing to do anything extra. It stays where I put it.
