Where are the how many bottles of beer and pounds of shrimp details we all have been waiting on for 14 months.

LOL, can't keep beer in the house. We have a 17 year old son and the beer would go 'missing' some how.

So the MachE is the perfect solution. Only one key for access. Time find out if a pony keg fits in the frunk.

I've been impressed with it. When using Spotify, it didn't seem to reach peak volume compared to radio/SXM. Good range and bass doesn't overpower mid and high range. Bass gets up enough that you can feel it in your chest but doesn't make your head hurt.
The dealer didn't even know about the Active Assist Incentive since the dealer communication went out last October. The information about the Early Adopter Incentive early states the option can be purchased separately when it becomes available Q3 2021at an estimated cost of $100. With the incentive received at purchase that brings out of pocket cost to $500 (estimated) when available. (Compared to Tesla Full-self driving coming in at $10k)

Ugh, I already have a long delivery list

So do I need to educate my sales person at time of paperwork? Must one pre order with a $100 deposit?
Thanks

Premium, all wheel drive, extended range, Rapid Red with Light Space Grey interior. Added the interior protection package (all weather floor mats and cargo area mat).

So the interior protection package does include a cargo area mat?

If you ordered it from the factory, yes.

It is not a pre order deposit. It is an incentive for you ($100) for being an early adopter. You are not putting any money down but agreeing you will have to buy for 600 at a later time in 2021. Now what I dont know is what will Ford do if you never purchase but sign this incentive paperwork and get the 100 dollars incentive. will they ask the 100 be returned - dont know. If you do buy it for 600 later your net cost of this software would be 500 (600-100).

You may likely need to educate them about the incentive to claim the $100. My finance guy was honest and said if he got something about the MME in October, he "probably didn't even look at it." There is no pre-order that needs to be done, just sign the form stating you understand you have the hardware pre-loaded but will need to purchase a software update via OTA when it is available.
As a side note, we have from the time of delivery to when OTA is available to determine if it is worth the investment as it will only work in approved autonomous driving (AD) zones as not all areas have the required markings an capabilities within the road systems to support AD. For example, here in W Mich, there are very few miles of road capable but Metro Detroit has more, but Michigan pales in comparison to California.

I thought it more like...
"Sign this form saying you wont sue us and we will give you $100."

Could be the ”safety” reason they removed electronic drunk release.

I'm on A-Plan. But yes my dealer takes plan pricing which means no ADM.

Would the 30% down cap for Options be calculated off the cash price of unit at MSRP or at the Plan Price when buying through a plan?

Added the wife's profile and PaaK. No issues with it but to set it up you have to have the fob in the car while going through the process.

Went for a drive with my PaaK. No issues. So far so good.

What’s the chance I’ll be able to buy a second fob at delivery?

Cash Selling Price (whatever that is for your transaction, not MSRP).
