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

[mattbostonmache]

why is it 11foot8 if the signs say 12 feet 4?

It used to be 11'8". They redid the bridge to be 12'4". But vehicles still crash into it.

Hope this isn’t the train bringing our cars ?

There's an infamous road/bridge in Boston called the Storrow Drive Overpass. Locals know not to drive large trucks on the road because there's a bridge that will just wreck anything over 10'6" like a can of sardines. As September approaches and all the moving trucks embark on Boston for all the college kids moving in, it's just comic relief to watch all the U-Haul and other moving trucks get stuck on the bridge. It's not good for traffic however. There are tons of signs and lights, but people still don't pay attention. There's a saying: "Don't get Storrowed".

Another forum has compiled info on rail shipping tracking. Can't speak to the quality of the info but seems promising.

Long ways away from SoCal on the map

Honestly, the main thing that is keeping me interested still is that I have driven one so I know how these drive. I enjoy driving and I enjoy a vehicle with a good driving experience. This car has an experience all it's own.

Some of the reviewers noticed it as well. Others liked the way the car drove but they didn't understand why. I understand why. Hard to explain though. Imagine the ride of a Lincoln that drives like a BMW M3 and handles like a Corvette.

That's sounds great! And reassuring... I can't wait!

Had to call the cops on one of these *word deleted* for trying to run my BMW i3 off the road about 5 years ago. Utterly ridiculous.

I know what you are not getting this year. ?

Don't worry. We are in the same boat (or train or truck). ?
