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

Does the car know there is a child seat installed and prompt you to not forget your kid?

No, it did that on the demo units with nothing in the backseat.

Starting to become real common in new cars. I believe Nissan was early to the game, and now even my 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe has that. always gives me that warning whether the child seat is actually occupied or not. I guess the weight of the car seat itself. And then after you lock the car there are laser sensors that detect movement and will set off the panic alarm as well as send text messages and push notifications to your phone.

Video for a special friend. Hope someone picks up on it.

So that's what the horn sounds like.

It’s NOT making the same sounds as the one I saw at East Windsor! This one sounds very cool and modern!

I hope these are the production sounds ???

The sounds are the same as the one I saw in Vermont.

I love this and didn’t even know it existed, though now my children are in the “are we there yet” phase, so they are quite impossible to forget at this point. ? I’m very happy to see they included this safety feature.

89% charge = 201 miles remaining? 100% = 225 miles then
New boot/start intro on the steering wheel screen?
ahh now i see
"Alarm System - Turn off motion sensors?" YES/NO

Does that mean Sentry Mode?

There appears to be motion sensors in the cabin that will trip the alarm if someone reaches through an open window. Our pre-production car had that feature.

What’s this?

the kid can’t reach the brake pedal.

Dont recognize the top one.
The bottom one looks like the pictogram that is displayed if you press the power button without having your foot on the brake. Basically results in Accessory mode. IIRC, there also was a banner message in the center of the driver's display.

I think I see something for parents. At 33 sec in, there is a warning after turning off the car: Check rear seats for occupants.

Is that it? Or is there something else?

It looks like the young one crawled out of his sit and is playing with the wheel, horn and buttons. That may be the safety feature; he forgot to put his foot on the brake when honking?

No, it's the icon that comes on to indicate that you've enabled 1-pedal driving. That's why it has a 1 above the picture of a foot on a pedal.

good morning. Happy coffee time.
Just got off the phone with my dealer. My build date is 12/21/2020.
The demo car is supposed to arrive the week of 11/30/2020.

Seems like Southern VA, Kentucky, NC may all be on the same rail cars. Think most of us have 12-21-20 build weeks.

IS kinda easy to see now that is the way they went. Wish I could have found that, but no one I talked to knew that was going to do it regionally. kinda didn't even think about it.
