I only use Pandora or a thumb drive for music so as long as I can get to those two I will be fine.

People rave about UConnect but you know what? Hit the voice button on there and say "call Mom." You know what it does? Call your mother, like on a Ford? No, it literally scolds you - "to use phone functions, press the phone button."
So in other words instead of calling your Mom as requested, it acted like your Mom. When she was mad at you. Yeah, I don't want a car that does that. ;)

Perhaps off-topic, but I was just thinking about it....does anyone know / confirm if the MME screen will have a "cleaning" feature (similar to Tesla where you can turn the screen off to clean it)?

You mean like just turn the car off and clean it with the car (and thus screen) off?

Since it's supposed to be a "mustang", in/out of the backseat shouldn't be easy :)
Or the front seat for that matter. It’s got to be better than getting in & out of the Mach E 1400!

The Egress issue Jd power feels the front sits forward more. So you have to swing more to get out. Jd power did not like the slant of the roof getting in and out of the back seats. I think there are a few videos out there also saying have to duck getting in, but what car do you not have to duck for lol.

Handling was raved about also. really hugged the corners on the road.

Nothing to do with the seats or height of the driver. JD Power said the seats and ride are par none, better than tesla y or polestar 2. Jd power gave the seat 10 out of 10.

The rest will be solved with updates.

getting in and out watch the guy grab the top to get out at 6:30 mark. I didn't see what was so bad.


Dang This is just hurting more. I Want my Mach E!

That's why I say they should refer to it as a 4-Dr fastback instead of an SUV. Might make it an easier pill to swallow for the Mustang faithfuls.

what's the point of autopilot / co-pilot if you cant clean the damn screen while you're screaming down the highway?

Related to the remark of JD Power on the little differentiation on the drive modes: does the MME have something like dynamic chassis control ?
Or are the driving modes just impacting steering, regeneration and non driving stuff like interior light and sound ?

I don't think so; the non-GTs likely have a standard suspension. The GT might have this

Yes, although they also are implied to change acceleration behavior.

Also off-topic, wonder if they will call it E-DAY when they hit the showrooms :) Anyone know the FORD story about E-Day?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edsel

Incase you can't think of it.

With that said I am sure they are really going to deliver a quality product that for the most part was driven by the consumer. I say driven because many of the ideas really came from another newer player on the block, who we all know who that is. Many of the things we are seeing now are a direct output of listening to the consumer. Lots of new ground for FORD since launching, online reservations, online ordering till the end and no funny business with the pricing. So they have my attention and appreciation for not doing it the OLD FORD way. I am sure they will have a successful MACHE-DAY and there after. So we are really close, a few months from now many will be hitting the streets. So please keep up the info here and this thread is my favorite right now.

Thank you!

It's been stated that the drive modes change the accelerator responsiveness as well as regeneration. Our Leaf has standard and Eco modes. We usually drive in Eco. Switching out of Eco really makes a difference in acceleration.
