I went for a test drive today of Mach-E...on the way there I told my wife I expected to know more about the car than anyone we would speak with. But they may have actually come in below those low expectations. I was assigned the "expert that knows all about the car." The first thing I did in getting the car was to search through the display because I wanted to make sure I was in "engaged" mode and I wanted to make sure one-pedal driving was active. When asked what I was doing, I was informed (very confidently) that the way to select the driving mode was via the gear select dial. I was also told one-pedal wasn't a thing. After finishing my drive, he told me that if I ordered a car he'd have it in 4-6 weeks. (Again, he was very confident about this.)
BTW, I was surprised at how many MMEs that they had--the website shows six vehicles, but I also saw an FE and a Route-1 that weren't listed on the website. (Maybe those were spoken for?) I didn't ask if there was any ADM on the cars on the lot as my current lease lasts through summer so I wasn't interested in engaging any further. In the greater scheme of things, I suppose a poorly informed salesperson doesn't make any difference as long as the dealer doesn't mark up the car and will accept my X-Plan pricing. But somehow I prefer to do business with guys that are as excited about the car as I am...
