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

[dbsb3233]

nothing is a pipe dream my freind. I wish there was a 100 color combo we could pick from. More is better for us all as consumers. But the mache I think has the most or second most color options.

I don't want 100, but I do wish there was more "color" colors and fewer shades of black/white/gray.

I'd have liked the Escape or Ranger options a bit better.

You can have any color you want--just call Maaco.

Cars are boring these days. Nobody wants to break the mold, everyone looks the same now. Even the interiors are looking similar.

Guess we can thank Tesla for introducing a large center screen. I doubt my soon to be in transit (wink) MME would have had it otherwise. I’m guessing we would have seen a traditional interior if not for the competition.

tesla has 5 color options only white is not an upcharge. 1,000 upcharge and 2,000 for red.
ID4 has 4 colors if an upgrade to ID4 has two more colors with an upcharge of 395 for red.
The I pace has 12 color options buy only 2 are not upcharge cost.
Audi has 10 colors but only black is not an upcharge. the rest are 500 each
polstar 2 has 6 colors black is not an upcharge but the other 5 colors cost 1,200
Kona has 6 colors to pick from
Niro has 6 colors to pick from
Volvo XC40 has black no upcharge and 7 more for 650 each total of 8 colors
Mache has 7 colors and 3 with an upcharge of 400 to 600, and GT has 8 colors with no up charge.

what other EV did I forget and Paint?

The problem is that the Mach E "color" choices are mostly black, white, a blend of those, or a blend of those made shiny. Then there's blue-gray and red. Getting colors with real character require buying a FE (Grabber Blue if you were fast or survived the Mach Drop) or GT (Grabber Blue, Cyber Orange).

I'm not saying it's much better in most of the others. The Kona has their version of Infinite Blue and Red (plus black/white/gray/silver). At least the Niro has two blues, red and orange (7 total).

I'm with the others here. I really would have liked it if Ford had offered more variety of real colors. The Bronco comes with 11 choices, including 2 reds, 2 blues, orange plus the black/white/grays. This car is electric -- let's make it look lit!

I think I would also prefer a little bit darker Red but only because in California most days are sunny and on a sunny day Rapid Red is not that deep/dark as I would like to see it. But on a darker/cloudy day Rapid Red is really good and just about dark red in a right way. The thing is different with Infinite Blue - awesome color when it's sunny but totally loses the beauty on a cloudy/dark day - just gets unimpressive. Of course, it's subjective - but whole my family voted Rapid Red on a sunny day when we compared two MMEs side by side (and on a darker day the difference is even more dramatic, imho).

I'm in California also, and I'm with this 100%. The Infinite Blue loses something on a cloudy day to me also. Have yet to see the RR in person yet. I might have to change my order if it's as you describe...

I understand that. Compared to the rest though only 2 have more color options. I think green and another option would of been nice also. Charge an upcharge like other colors.

I'm with @ChasingCoral . Let's make it lit.. push the boundaries, etc..

I would totally pay the upcharge fee for more colors

Don't forget, Rapid Red and Infinite Blue are $400 upcharges, while Star White is $600.

Yes, i thought i put that? And a few of the other you only get white or black unless you pay more.

Lucid Air - $169K (highest option) and it only has 3 colors available ?

I would have liked a dolphin grey, non metallic, but not a mainstream color for most people.

The Bronco's "Cactus Gray" is close.

I would trade one of the shades of gray for one or two more flashy colors. How cool would this car look in a copper orange, dark highland green or my favorite Ford color Twister Orange. I'd love to have that one.
