Oh if it's the new "What Car?" video review - that's awful! Lazy lazy journalism. He got so much wrong about the vehicle, was complaining about the build quality, and said it should have more door handles on it. I was not impressed with him LOL

lol, yeah it looked as if it was the last thing he wanted to be doing.

Almost a case of send the intern out with an iPhone and a Mach-E on his lunch break ?

This was the one shot that summed up the review for me ... couldn't be bothered to wipe his muddy footprint off the door before filming it.

I've emailed Rebecca about this mis match. She said she will pass it on to the product team so I am just waiting on a reply. As soon as I know I'll pass it on

What were the things you noticed. I felt there were a few.
The sticker mentions Tech pack + the UK spec is quite detailed in this regard but does not mention co-pilot 360 active 2 prep which the sticker does. I assume co-pilot 360 assist 2 is in the tech pack

No mention on the sticker of:
heated driver and passenger seat + steering wheel
power passenger seat
memory passenger seat (neither does uk) havent checked what the premium has
quick clear heated windscreen
privacy glass
stolen vehicle alert + tracking (probably a UK spec error)

sticker talks about grey wheels and uk spec silver not sure if they are the same.

Not sure why one refers to active x and one to sensico but assume the are the same.

A full spec a la US would have been good

The only things specifically that I mentioned were the up to 115 kw charging, power folding mirrors and no mention of power passenger seats. I did say generally that it didn't tally with UK spec'd RWD ER. The stolen vehicle alert and tracker I was told a while ago was an error but I have since heard that you may be able to track your car and locate it via Ford Pass app so maybe that is what that means. Still waiting on a reply. As soon as I hear anything I'll post it on here

The full spec is on the uk ford web site. Heated front seats and all that are defined on there and the tracker. Regardless of what ford employees might say, if you click on order and all that you are entering into a contract where all those features listed must be included. Your contract is with the dealer and I have known on one occasion a dealer being taken to court when a set of advertised features were not all existant in the delivered car, the customer won.

I know all that. I just want to find out that what I ordered is indeed what has been made. If there is an error then any future ER RWD car might be able to changed

I realise that there are various Uk specifications provided. What I have not seen is a fully detailed definitive one as provided in the US.
My slight concern is that the tech pack + is not fully detailed on the order. It is not referred to as tech pack + on the uk price list (although it is on the configurator) but is fully detailed there with the exception of the active prep pack.
Can you point me in the direction where the uk order confirms the inclusion of the co-pilot 360 assist 2 and the active prep pack. I know it mentions co-pilot 360 maybe that is the assist 2.

 

[SteveUk]

I'll take a look at the basket/confirm screens as I haven't confirmed my order yet so still have acess to those screens. Mine is a rwd er.

I dont see any copilot in the list.

 

[SteveUk]

It just says tech pack + on that confirm page.

Then going back to 'configure and build' it says that includes the stuff we already know like sunroof

 

[SteveUk]

I don't see co-pilot mentioned on the price list either. But the heated seats are as well as mentioned on the confurator.

That is really why a full model spec would have been good. The US one has for instance this detail under co-pilot

On a different tangent I went into gocompare and the insurance quotes appear to have increased so aviva for me has gone up by around 150 quid annually

No-one appears to have a clue/know why the cars are stacking up built at the factory but not being shipped. This is starting to smell a little dodgy? Warning bells ringing?

Some have been shipped already. A ship arrived in Antwerp a week or so ago with some MME'S on it. I think mainly for Dutch and Norwegian markets. Whether these were demo's, press cars or customer cars we don't know
