Is there a "speculation" thread providing unfounded guesses? My guess is based on the observation that I have never seen any NHTSA crash data yet on the Mach E and nothing is on my window sticker. Anyone? Maybe someone at Ford just noticed that they had EPA ratings, but no crash ratings, and said "Hold your Horses!"
Not required from what I understand. Did a search as my sticker did not have it. With all those air bags I would not be too worried. It was not the selling point for me (100 KWh pack was). I remember when seat belts were not required and back then there was definitely no air bags.

Hello coffee
Hello nap.

Been staying up late surfing the macheforum. I realize once we get some in the driveways of members we will (hopefully) be inundated with discoveries, shared experiences, and lots more late nights reading, so for now I look forward to a bit of a respite and get caught up with some of my other projects. Like clearing out enough room in my garage!

Maybe the delay has been done to extend the $7500 tax credit an additional quarter. What quarter do fleet sales of e-transits start?

My spouse and I were too quick to sell our second car, so we have this "advantage" to the delayed delivery of Lightning to the paddock....

We now have more time to learn to negotiate who gets our one car, and when. I expect we'll be much better at this by the time May rolls around.

Dave (hubby) commented on the delivery delay.... " When the airline pilot sez he's not flying that plane today, don't argue with him. The only right answer is "OK".

No, Ford has enough credits left to last until at least 1Q2022, probably 2Q or 3Q.

I've considered looking into solar as well, but not enough consistent sun in West Michigan to justify. Also, no disrespect intended by my original post of being offered a CMax as a loaner. Just meant we never get offered a comparable car when in for repairs. Is that a Galaxy convertible in your avatar?

If you'll simply sign a certain piece of paper, I'll have Ford chip in another $100 for late availability of Active Drive Assist. But only for you. (You deserve it! Because you're awesome!)

And don't go spreading this info around, but I'll also coordinate for Ford to get you an X-plan discount and another $2,500 off beyond even that, if you'll give the revenant Ford Options a try.
