19% of the united states live in the new york jersey area. another 12% in the Cali area. Be nice if they do the Chicago area and texas. Would get around 50% of the population in 4 stops.
Once I saw that they were driving them, it really didn't make sense to me. They could knock out Phoenix, Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Louisville, Indianapolis, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, NYC, Boston, NE, DC, Charlotte, Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, and then head home.

Similar reverse light placement as the current ICE Mustangs.

Personally not a fan of this placement. Always takes me a split second longer to realize the car I’m coming up on is in reverse if the light bar is at the bottom since so few cars place it there. Worried it might cause an accident one day...

Same here. 10 months ago I'd have been more interested in going to a show, but even if there were one in Denver, not sure I'd bother now. Already committed, and should only be about 2 months away from getting my FE (if no hitches). ?

Plus I hate seeing other cool car features after I've already decided on mine. ?
Plus, you can’t even drive it. What’s the point?

Probably my top issue is actually sitting in it to judge seat height (and seeing how high the power seat can go). But the pre-COVID shows had the vehicle on a stage or in a box where you couldn't even sit in it.

Well, I hope the Road Show for which I have a reservation will solve the "comfort" issue for me. I plan on sitting in the driver's seat and be able to adjust to my "just right" position so I can cross that off the list . . . and then wait to be able to test drive to make sure that part is great also.

So looks like my son took the Mache for a test drive.

Wait? What? The glass isn’t bulletproof like Tesla glass? I’m cancelling my order and buying a cyber truck!

I hope that’s something Musk never attempts to demonstrate only to have fail.

Why would they not stop in some of the major cities they are driving through to get to those cities in the North East? Seems like Texas, Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte, DC would be prime candidates either on the trip out or for the return trip.

Pretty bummed it's CA and New England only.
So far. They expanded to PA already.

At least you can sit in it. That wasn’t the case at most US auto shows.

Are you sure about that? I don't see where it says that.
Go to the page describing COVID precautions. It talks about the Ford person sitting in the back seat while the customer sits in the front.

I don't think you will be able to sit inside one in the road show. As far as I understand you can just look at it but not touch (Kinda like a strip club):)
“ When conducting an interior overview with a customer, staff will sit in the second row of the vehicle to allow for social distancing.”

Besides, I’ll bet you can even run your hand down it’s haunches.

sweet! I just glossed over that stuff - I guess it pays to actually read that kind of stuff!
