The initial range was 235 then changed to 250, pure speculation on my part but I have always thought of the GT and the lack of concrete information meant it was a very late last minute addition to the model line up so very little actual development beyond the looks had taken place.
sorry ford I think you really meant ST-line lol, so hopefully the delay gives the ford engineers time to make as many tweaks and changes as needed so the GT is not seen as just a quicker accelerating permium with some larger wheels and nice looking front grill.
I feel personally attacked
Bets that the lighted front pony logo goes the way of the space grey steering wheel trim? ??
I always read the 250 miles versus the 235 as the base GT versus the performance edition, not a change.The initial range was 235 then changed to 250, pure speculation on my part but I have always thought of the GT and the lack of concrete information meant it was a very late last minute addition to the model line up so very little actual development beyond the looks had taken place.
As it stands ford do need to improve upon some of those initial specs or give the current projected msrp a hair cut as when it comes to range and performance it is behind the model 3/Y there are plenty of pluses for the mach-e but to put a performance tag on it comes with expectations in regards to acceleration, handling and top speed, range can be forgiven if the performance is there (see taycan) those intial paper specs are also lacking in some key aspects compared to other performance fords (a faster steering ratio is absent for one).
When ford USA abandoned the idea of selling further cars and concentrated instead on SUV / CUV with no mk4 focus st replacement for my mk3 in sight on this side of the pond I took an Edge ST for a test drive, talk about being massively underwhelmed and completly miss named
I know for NJ's rebate that is true, but I don't know if that applies to the fed tax deduction
Good point, so I read into the tax credit information with the IRS. There is no rule stating you need to own the vehicle for three years. As long as you purchase and take delivery in that tax year, you're entitled to the credit. In my hypothetical case, I would have been making a second purchase of an EV, and I would be claiming both vehicles for the tax year 2021. If someone decided to purchase the FE from me, they would not be entitled to the credit because the vehicle would be used at that point.
So, I think I too am going to go get on the list for the GT. I have a Premium reserved right now but may not be able to help myself and may have to splurge for the GT.
In Canada it was propose at $82,500 if I remember correctly without all the goodies, so I don't think they will sale that much here. The Premium is really the one to get.
We have very few details on the GT and many are unconfirmed. Cost of GT Performance model? unknown. Glass roof? Most probably available, cost unknown. Technology pack needed for Ford Co-Pilot360™ 2.0? Probably. Cost may be similar to pack on Select but that's just a guess.
I think I agree with @ChasingCoral that the Premium is the one to get after thinking this through. I really hadn't thought about the unknowns with the options and related price uplift. Am I really ever going to be able to enjoy the performance upgrades on the roads in the Chicago area? Probably not. I really don't want the insurance premium increases, either. That said, the FE will look good and meet my specifications, so I can be happy with it. I can always do appearance mods in the future if inclined.
