Update on Mach-E launch progress from engineering friends in Mexico

[macchiaz-o]

Also, the frunk on the F-150 was huge. triple that of the mache. Nothing finalized but I like what I saw.

Ford has plenty of time to figure out F-150 frunk storage between now and 2022 deliveries. Imagine the number of plastic dividers needed for "safety" on that massive beast.

In South Florida.

Can I get the heater removed? Don't need all that extra weight in the car that will never be used!!!

I was hoping for A/C seats...............

?

What he said!

Hoping to hear from the FE reservation holders about their order updates soon.

@trutolife27 can you confirm if serial #1 is an FCTP that will eventually get to a customer, or if it is an actual customer order? That is, are the FCTP units done, interleaved with customer cars and yet to be built, or will be built after all the FE are built?

BTW, thanks so much for the info you post here.

Personally, I think pre-heating the vehicle before departure / heat seaters on / steering wheel heater on and a warm jacket are a better choice.

Except for the fact you still have to do something to keep the windows clear. I don’t know how far you can get without some kind of defroster running in winter here in the North.

So are they ahead of schedule with this? @ChasingCoral

Awaiting word of where they are on the FCTP units.

ok see was that so hard. it was like everyone was speaking french or something

Pourquoi tu dis ça? ?

 

[SashaLondon]

Anyone know what the build capacity is per month? Only if they have 54k orders then it could be a year waiting list to get one.

The First Edition was not an available choice for the Dealer when he ordered his Demo / FCTP.

Makes sense --- why have your Demo in a Model you can't order from Ford.

 

[SD_Solar]

Total number of confirmed orders now 54,439 units. 3,000 are supposed to be First edition.

So with the stated 60 % Europe and 40 % NA split of the 3,000 First Editions or 1,800 for Europe and only 1,200 for NA --- Most NA Dealers will never see a First Edition.

If you saw the video about Sync 4 you can schedule the temperature so this would mean also the defrosters.

Like i assumed before every dealer probably was probably allowed 1 FE order. Once the dealer sold that FE the only way to get one was the Machdrop/social media. So every dealer should get at least one.

That makes sense, if that's actually an FE. Plus it wouldn't really seem right when the FCTPs can be sold many months later next year for those to be FEs.

One FCTP per EV-certified dealer, but not one FE.

Yes, i understand that. I mean 1 FE order that they can sell to a client. So all dealers will get at least one FE. The rest would be social media and online orders spread across dealers. I was not talking about the demos.
