Well I finally got my MME on 4/6. Dealer called me and said it was in and I was there within 3 hours to pick it up. Bought mine from Antelope Valley Ford in Lancaster, CA. Traded in my 2016 Ford CMAX Energi with 188827 miles! Almost 4 years to the day that I bought the CMAX. That car was a road warrior. Only ever did oil changes, cabin filters, windshield wipers, and replaced the front struts. Still on original brakes due to regenerative braking.
Now on to the MME! I LOVE this car. I have waited nearly 18 months to get it and it didn't disappoint. I love the ride and handling. I love the screen and fit and finish. Coming from a CMAX the drivers front seat actually feels a little smaller (if you can believe it) but I think that is more about how they built the center console. In 3 days I already have over 400 miles on it and I picked it up with 12 miles. My daily commute from Lancaster, CA to Simi Valley, CA is 65 miles one way so I am going to put a TON of miles on this car.
My credit isn't the greatest (but not horrible) so I financed with Ford Credit at 7.70% for 75 mo. Was easy as this is my fourth Ford Credit loan. I bought the extended service contract, electric vehicle maintenance (cheap as hell but does give you a set of brakes), triple care, and ceramic coating. I also had them order wheel locks, and the Ford Front and Rear DashCam with infrared and sentry mode. I park in some bad neighborhoods when I am visiting friends in Los Angeles so wanted that security as well as I am on the road a lot.
Here are my pros and cons so far:
Cons First......
I am a tall AND wide guy. My right leg leans against the center console while I am driving. My knee does not hit the screen like other people but I may use some sort of double sided mounting tape to put some sort of cushioning there for my leg. I can't for the life of me get the seat where it is not pressing up against that. For now adaptive cruise is my friend as i don't have to have my leg there as much when on the highway.
CarPlay is VERY laggy sometimes. Sometimes it hangs and I have to unplug my phone and replug it back in. Im sure they will fix this with future updates. Could also be because I am running the IOS Developer Beta on my phone too. Will report these same bugs to Apple too.
Maybe it's me, but I feel like I am in a little bit of a tug of war with the steering wheel. Its like its Me vs the lane keeping system lol. I am sure this takes some getting used to.
Pros
The look of this car is 1000x better in person. Everything was as advertised.
The look from people who see it for the first time. I definitely agree with the person so said people almost side swipe you to get a glimpse on the highway.
Charging is easy and I can charge for work at free so I pretty much top off every day. will try an EA station soon.
I love the sound system. Sounds amazing.
I dont trust PAAK quite yet. Faraday bag arriving today from Amazon so I can try it but have my backup key just in case.
My favorite driving feature is Auto Hold. I dont know what my life was like before I tried that. lol.
Will come up with more as I drive more but I am DEFINITELY happy with my purchase. Going to dip the rims all black and tint the front two windows same color as back two.
Oh the dealer honored my X-Plan from Mustang Club of America.
