we convinced ourselves that $10k was ok, but $20k +. Omg.

Good for OP. However, this illustrates the ability of dealers to charge ADM for buyers that simply want the car.

I enjoy the rediculous amount of torque it has. The seating material and the copper metallic threading really sets it off. Just overall really well done.

I love my GT - i have this same exact spec. You're right, the interior is gorgeous and so fresh w/ the copper - plus the torque! I smile every time i drive.

$54k with 14k on the clock. Premium E4X.

Not sure what ADM you paid but trade in deal was great considering you had a lot less than $54,000 in it considering you got the tax credit!

Really? What is it that so important to you?

Well, if it wasn't why would anybody pay more for a GT, think man, think!

Dark matter is awesome on a Mach E. In the Sun it's magical with so many glitter colors ..... and no extra cost. It's almost the total exact opposite of Star White..... They achieve that with a Two stage paint (Base and Clear). Star White is a Tri Coat....

This is an excellent question!

People have different approaches to their budgets (and definitely different budgets!) and different priorities. For many a faster car is more important than saving 10-15 grand, even if this faster acceleration is rarely used. And I expect that these people will enjoy GT more than a premium, but I was surprised by the "night and day" comparison. And it appears that it's the seating material and the copper metallic threading on top of additional torque. Well, I'm glad that it's so important to someone.

I think you are right, I watched a youtube video by the smoking tire and he says he doesn't think the GT is worth the extra money. I tend to agree with him even though I don't have my Cal. Rt. 1 yet.

Oh, I'm not saying that at all - what I'm saying is that it's not for everyone to spend extra money for what GT offers over other trims. I am still getting lightheaded when I fully press the "go" pedal and smile every time I'm driving my premium. I started going to the office for no other reason than to drive it!

What really sets the "night and day" difference is the light gray seats. I love them!

Yes, they are beautiful, I envy you guys getting to drive one, one day maybe mine will be built! LOL

Congratulations on your new GT. I really think what matters most is you are happy with vehicle you get to drive everyday vs the deal you got on that vehicle. And since I am sure you bought your premium last year and the GT this year, I imagine you will be getting 2 tax credits spread over 2 years, not to mention getting almost everything back on what you spent on the premium that you put 14K on.

When we bought our MME I did not really need another car, but I will tell you I am so much happier driving the MME everyday now. It turns out I am liking the EV experience so much I cannot imagine purchasing another ICE vehicle in the future. I think that matters more than any deal I got.

Picked up my Cyber-Orange GT three weeks ago. Absolutely love it. Ordered it in October, knowing I'd be waiting. Thought I would hear a lot of negative comments on the color. But, surprisingly not. If anything, just the opposite.
