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

Looks like that parking assist needs a little assist.

Lol thats not a Quebec thing, thats a Pickup driver thing

Being in trucks for over 30 years I resemble that comment. Can't back out? Throw it in 4x4, D, across the grass and your out . See no real problem with the parking lot except wear and tear on the concrete curb .

What sometimes happens is the codes/by-laws require so many parking spots in developments, this is always wasted space (Christmas volume) $$$. The size, of each spot, is defined with minimum dimensions. Look we meet code requirements for number of spaces, they just don't fit trunks too well. Been like that like forever here. Should of seen how tight it was when we got our first Walmart parking lot. Talk of the town and accident city.

Was in a little town in Germany (those seem to be everywhere LOL little "one light towns") when I saw a GMC dually extended cab long bed pickup wedged into a tiny little parking lot.

It was hilarious.

I don't know if this was posted anywhere. But here is a Read for you on the mache vs the model y.

https://www.torquenews.com/1083/we-...No2js99zPuYjuO0cjN6MGtWlX0tiEW87bQrUvfSLkS96g

Model Y total score 48 vs. Mach E total score 52. There, did the maths for you, not sure why the article didn't just do the maths. I personally disagree with the "living electric" category as they are defining it ... their metric is simply away-from-home charging which appears to be not relevant for most buyers (yes haters, I understand there are some buyers who may frequently or only charge away from home, but that is the minority not the majority, there I acknowledged your feelings)

Looks around.....Did I ask you to do some math for me? nope. But the point is once the EA network gets there the score would not even be close then.

Yep. I'd consider "living electric" to be the most common day-to-day usage. The rule rather than the exception. And for *most* people, that's charging at home the vast majority of the time.

"Road-tripping electric" would/should be a whole different category, because it's almost polar opposite from around-home use.

There's also a 3rd category -- people that can't home (or work) charge but buy a BEV anyway. But that should be a very small% for some time. I know some are "dedicated" enough to do that, but relying on full-time public charging takes way more compromise than most people will put up with. At least until capabilities get way better.

I don't think the point of the graph was to total the score. I think it was more of a comparison within each of the specific categories to show the amount of difference between. A 10 score is 100% and the lower number was how much behind in overall points for that specific category only. So a 10 for MME and an 8 for the MY means the MME was 20% better in that category per the opinion of the reviewer.

We all agree that there are no cooled seats? ?

Is is possible it is referring to the perforated seats in that they cool off easier? I was looking at my window sticker and that was the only reasonable explanation I could find.

I interpreted this line in the same way. It's probably fair to say you'll stay cooler in perforated seats than solid material on the seat bottom and back.

But, still no where near as great as the actively cooled seats in my Lincoln. They gotta hold a few premium features back for whatever the Lincoln model that rolls out on the MME platform.

Completely disagree. The other Mustangs have ventilated seats, as do other Fords. Ventilated seats are table stakes in this car class, not a “luxury item”. Same for 12-way power seats. Luxury is 22-way massaging “perfect position” seats.

The trucking app updated today. Well it was updated prior to the HOLD factor. When that happened the box next to my VIN went blank. Today it states ARRIVED 01/15. The ETA from Ford has now gotten down to ONLY 60 days left to delivery.
