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

[janitorjim]

This is the Mache First edition car number 1 being sold to the public. was finished last night.
Total number of confirmed orders now 54,439 units. 3,000 are supposed to be First edition.
The development team is in talks about maybe the GT getting a heat pump.
I myself will get to test drive and ride in the mache on November 1st 2020
There was no big fan fair on the increase 0 to 60 times because dearborn didn't consider the numbers given at the time as final.
Final range numbers and incentives are to roll out the end of this month.

more info. Production will be starting this week people exciting.
the line goes a little slow just this week they started to lower the paint units and they have already finished over 400 units in the body shop.

DIBS!

@trutolife27 , a GT heat pump?!? zomg please let it be true!

NEAT! a heat pump...um what does a heat pump do?

One side note. I did see some video of the f-150 platform. Very Sharpe. Also, ford is working on a toolbox size removal range extender. Not like a small toolbox but pretty big. Also, the frunk on the F-150 was huge. triple that of the mache. Nothing finalized but I like what I saw.

Are you really going to make my wife trade her 2020 Raptor in for the latest and greatest?

In short a heat pump is your A/C running in reverse (taking heat from outside and bringing it inside).

It is a very efficient way to heat an EV except that it only works down to about 40F.

its great that the gt will have a heat pump but sucks for the rest of us poor ppl.

Nice.

3000 FEs......I think that was the most common guesstimate all summer.

54k confirmed orders and Europe orders haven't opened yet?

I seem to remember that at least some european orders were open about a week or two ago.

This is giving me some real hope that I will get my FE this year -- even if mine is #3000.

And I also need to start getting my current car prepped so I can sell it.

And don't the Premium NA reservation holders have until Dec 31 to convert to Orders --- probably not a good decision to wait.

 

[janitorjim]

54k order and if I remember there was a post that ford only had 50K battery packs for 2021 models

edit: oh and happy 100 pages!
