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

[zhackwyatt]

Seat in lowest position 62/63cm (24,5/25 inch)

As reference, I measure C-Max at 23 inch (58.5 cm)

287 outside sitting right now.

Batteries ok not plugged in?

Update, some units getting ready to come to Europe

The ponys are waiting outside the factory!

Good news: They’re stacking up!
Bad news: that’s slower than I thought. May have to adjust the spreadsheet down a bit.

All I care about is distance from seat to cabin floor. (For me, the bigger the better.) Unfortunately, there just isn't enough information in the picture to get that. I hope that the distance from seat-tip to cabin floor is more than or comparable to CMax.

* In terms of ground to seat tip, Mach E is 1.5 inch more than CMax.
* Mach E and CMax has the same ground clearance (5.7 inch vs 5.5 inch).
* That's 1.5 inch height for the in-floor battery to take up. Hopefully, that's enough. And if it's not enough, I guess I can tolerate 1 or 2 inches smaller than the CMax.

Once I saw that they were driving them, it really didn't make sense to me. They could knock out Phoenix, Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Louisville, Indianapolis, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, NYC, Boston, NE, DC, Charlotte, Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, and then head home.

South Florida?????? Population - 9.35 million

Sneak it in between Atlanta and New Orleans............

Lithium from what I've seen hold a charge. Not sure the draw; looks like they may need to keep them cool there; it would be heated up here right now . Good to see the progress; 287 that is a pretty exact number, how many before me?

FWIW, the batteries are 150mm (5.9") tall. I think they stand upright. I'd guess that makes the battery pack maybe ~7" tall with the pack structure?

Nice view

I wonder if these are FCTP units

This roller coaster of emotions is wearing me out.

Big update from Mexico. The frunk now can be ordered as a grille. Only a 19.99 option. and if you update your order within the next 3 days you also get a can of flex seal.

Not real right..

I'm just saying my dealer says his FCTP car isn't being built until November.

I hope my FE comes soon, I'm just not as optimistic.

Forgive me if I am repeating a comment that I haven't yet read yet.....
But I would like to see what your dealer sees. It is possible, they are seeing the OKTB as build date because the net effect is the same. I think there are other comments from others on here where their dealer is saying build date is 11/23. Just seems like a coincidence to me....???

He said he saw "Scheduled To Day" and the date being in November. We'll see I guess.
