Some early Mach-E GT owners may get 2022 model according to new Ford email

Interesting. I just received a similar email a few minutes ago, but with no mention of 2022 model years or high demand. I wonder why the discrepancy?

Do you have a GT reserved? I bought an FE and received the email you did. @Davedough has a GT reservation.

Personally I’m still holding out hope for a cut to the base price like the premium received closer to launch. I’d love to get a fully loaded GT performance, but for anything more than $65k it becomes really hard to justify over Tesla’s performance models, and I think Ford is well aware of that.

I do have a GT Reserved. But, I also have a premium reserved. I guess, the email could be for my premium reservation and not the GT Reservation?

I'm guessing $65K with all the options but without glass roof. GT Performance another $5K. It's not that GT cost that much more to make, but they need to do decent price differentiation. Also, I think that base GT sales will be negligible compared with Performance.

Yeah, I'm in the market to purchase the AWD ER and that's like top of the budget...don't think I can responsibly swing a GT right now as much as I would love one (range isn't much of an issue since we have an ICE car too).

If Tesla gets the $7000 federal tax incentive back, does that change things for anyone here? Does it change anything for Ford?

Not for me personally. I have a disdain for the man in charge of Tesla and I’m too much of a stickler to deal with windows falling out on the highway of my $60k car to want to put up with them

Fairly certain the $7k is not coming back, and if it does it will be targeted for lower cost EVs. Base Tesla's and Ford's will qualify, not performance or luxury models. The Dems were great at pushing for the EV credit when it had no chance of passing the past few years, and now it's a lone representative from CA pushing for it? I don't think there is a stomach for tax credits for top earners during these times.

Edit: Forgot to add the that $7k proposal includes income thresholds anyways.

The spec sheets show there are three roof options. Body colored, black and glass. Depending on the final price, I will torn between a GT with a black roof and Co-Pilot prep pack and the GT Performance.

I'm good with base GT + black roof.

Now, is adaptive cruise standard, or is it part of one of the Co-Pilot packages. I don't need a car that drives itself, but adaptive cruise would be nice.

 

[Davedough]

I was enamored by the glass roof in the Premium I sat in during the tour. I really want one. I don’t care about the added weight

Don't most manufacturers start producing the next model year in the Fall?

Interesting. I just received a similar email a few minutes ago, but with no mention of 2022 model years or high demand. I wonder why the discrepancy?

So I wonder if this is a hint at who would get one this year? I made a late reservation I think in November 2020. SO only a few months ago. And I got the email that mentioned 2022.

Do you have a reservation and when did you put it in?

I have a GT reservation and got the same message as OP with the 2022 reference.
My reservation was an early one (first 24 hours), so I don’t think that’s the correlation.

I originally reserved Oct 2020. Last week Ford unceremoniously canceled that reservation for no reason and I had to place another one

I reserved January 2020 and I have not received either of the emails.

Hmm. I wonder what the difference is then.
