Tech Specs for 2023 Mach-E (posted August 25, 2022)

[daemonic3]

I’m very interested if the 2023 range increase is real, or just an updated EPA number to reflect the 2022 range than many people seem to get. I think 290 miles corresponds to 3.2 miles per kWh (in a 91 kWh battery) which is totally reasonable even for highway driving.

I wondered the same, and I think it's just easing up on the conservatism with their claimed ratings, not that it "gets" more miles of actual capability or usable battery. Independent testing has been showing that the Premium AWD ER has outperformed ford specs and is close to the RWD.

If you think about it, the Premium ER AWD never made sense if we believe the Route1 numbers... RWD goes 303->314 miles, so 11 extra miles for the 18" aero wheels, while AWD goes 277->312 miles, so 35 extra miles for 18" aero wheels?? 277 was never correct in the first place

Also, did the Route1 have an efficiency algorithm to utilize only one motor in AWD more often? It only had a 2mi range penalty for AWD vs RWD, which likely made no one buy the RWD.

The spec sheet says on Page 2 that for the GT behind first row it is 54.7, but then on page 3 it says 59.7. Does that seem right? Why would the non-PE have about 3cubic feet less of storage?

Because you look more closely at the spec sheet than the people who wrote it.

Add it to the list of typos.

BC + 360 cameras locked behind a pay wall for the Select. Swing and a miss Ford. I know people will still by these, but they will quickly realize the lack of value/features.

Whats the source of the rumors?

Co-Pilot 360/Active 2.0 has been locked behind a glass roof for most models. Pretty sure this move is just another way for Ford to force people into a more profitable higher trim level car.

It was always strange that the only way to get BC and steal roof was a Select.

Or a non-PE GT in 2021.

Seems the park assist, foot sensor for tailgate, heated seats and steering wheel are all gone.
Glad I got a 2021 Job1

Only in the early ordering, they eventually switched it so BC and PANO roof where both required when either way selected.

I was an early order that got delivered nearly at the end of the year. I would have liked it if they allowed my GT-PE to get a metal roof and the Co-Pilot 360/Active 2.0 hardware. I could have ordered a non-PE but that would have made me not get the bigger front brakes and Magneride. Those were more important than a toy I would rarely use (the 360 cameras). I probably would not have subscribed to BC so BC is not that big a loss.

Whats the status with IRR soundblock windshield and laminated side windows for 23 models?

They got rid of the carpet mats with interior protection for 2022 models.

My 2022 GT with interior protection came with carpet mats too. (Kinda wish it hadn't, honestly.)

Well, at the very least the spec sheet SAID they got rid of them in 2022.

Add it to the list……..

Yeah, I was surprised they were in the car when I took delivery. They now live in a closet nestled up in their factory original plastic
