Nice review. Made me more excited again!
A couple of things, he said there is no Ford branding, just mustang. I thought there was a Ford logo at the top of the front windscreen by where the mirror is inside?
Also whisper vs active, what is the difference? I want as eco as possible, at the moment I drive my car to school and back and on the way I can sometimes get 11.5kwh/m (down hill almost all of the way), a less impressive number on the way home. I am constantly on the highest regen possible (3) in an ioniq.

There is a tiny white ford logo top centre of the windscreen. You can just about see it at the start of the video when he's kneeling in front of the car.

That's what I thought. I was thrown by his comment!

The reviewer said you can use phone as key. So can we or not still in the dark about this?

Reading some reports coming from US it doesn't work all that well anyway
I think it will be something they develop more and will improve with age (and ota updates).

lots of chat about this.... best search but Ford has issues with their charger. Personally Iā€™m going Zappi as it diverts surplus Solar to the car.

For me thatā€™s 80 miles a day for nine months of the year on sunny days at least.
Will you be able to connect any smart charger to the FordPass app or only the Ford charger?

In the build and configure page it looks like ER RWD has ambient lighting....

ambient lighting probably wonā€™t show on video if their white balance is set to auto...

Am I the only one on here that has installed a 32amp commando socket with the intention to use the Ford Variopower charger that is supplied with the car as my home charging option.

No not to the Ford App but most have their own App.

itā€™s all about functions you need vs cost. For me Solar divert is important. For others itā€™s irrelevant.

If the Ford app controls the Car rather than the Charger then it will still work. Both the charger and the car need to ā€œallowā€ the charge but most chargers are not smart. Iā€™d imagine the smart function is in the car so the Ford App will still work.

The Ford Charger does have WiFi so must have some features. Others might know more.

Iā€™ll check and see what I can find out.
