Probably my top issue is actually sitting in it to judge seat height (and seeing how high the power seat can go). But the pre-COVID shows had the vehicle on a stage or in a box where you couldn't even sit in it.

So this is the seating height from the ground? This is not too far from my entry height into my Explorer and seems slightly higher than the height into an Audi Q5. That makes it SUPER for me!!!! Thanks for sharing. Now I am even more excited for my the Ford Tour visit that I scheduled for next Thursday.

Thank you so much! I'll have to run out and measure my Escape at the similar point for comparison. IIRC, that's about the same height I measure at a point further back (where my butt sits), so probably an inch or two difference there. But it looks like it's close enough.

Approval to proceed with MP2 was granted yesterday, two days ahead of schedule per Jim Farley. Thanks to the tremendous efforts of the launch team.

*Doesn't mean production will start now, just the approval checkpoint was granted.

Spreadsheets still on track then.

So, wager a guess that something significant will be announced on 11/17/2020, one year from the launch event? Perhaps OKTB... (Based on making up two days so far, seems possible they can close the gap, and seems like an interesting goal to strive for).

Great news. The team at Ford seems to be working hard on this! Pretty impressive when you consider what this year has been like.

Of course not. That would have moved schedules up by more than a week. However, approval has been granted. Let's hope MP2 starts by 26 October as planned now that it has been approved.

Something has to give to move FCTPs out to dealers as early as Dearborn wants.

I’m sorry, which milestone is MP2 again? Is that the one when they can begin building units that can be sold to customers?
