Submit your Mach-E questions and requests for the New England International Auto Show (by 1/16/20)

[Deleted member 367]

I will be attending this Thursday's media day at the New England International Auto Show for the Mach-E Forum. Please submit any questions or requests for me by Thursday morning (1/16) with regards to the Mustang Mach-E. I do plan on bringing a Digital SLR, tape measure and a few cups/bottles to test coup holders and storage. My goal is to measure the trunk and frunk space with great detail (see below images) as well as seat height to ground. I also want to find out if heated seats will be an option for the Select models if not 2021 maybe later.

Thank you.

Scott

Please also inquire what will be the Supercharging setup and especially HOW MUCH WILL IT COST PER kWh?

Thanks, CA Grant

I don't recall where, but I did see a video which showed something like sequential tail lighting.

At about the 3:30 mark you can see the sequential turn signal that lights up the bottom half of the lamp.

Below is a list (table) showing most of the questions asked on this post. As of right now there are 21 questions which I will most likely not be able to ask all of them. If it makes sense and I have time I will ask about leasing the car as well as availability later this year for 1st Edition and international pre-orders.

Thank you.

Thank you for taking this on! And I would be very grateful indeed if you were able to ask about availability in 2020. In Norway tax incentives hang in the balance beyond 2020. Would have huge effect on the price.

Oh, I know the battery will loose range in cold weather but I suspect Ford has hard data and not just a percentage based on all EVs. So, I still think the question is relevant if he got a chance to ask it.

- Are seats vented (and heated) in Premium and above?

The preproduction First Edition I sat in had heated seats and heated steering wheel. I didn't find vented seats
