Good news: They’re stacking up!
Bad news: that’s slower than I thought. May have to adjust the spreadsheet down a bit.
Don't do it! As soon as you update that thing some new information is going to come out and change everything.

Just saying...
:)

Big update from Mexico. The frunk now can be ordered as a grille. Only a 19.99 option. and if you update your order within the next 3 days you also get a can of flex seal.

All I care about is distance from seat to cabin floor. (For me, the bigger the better.) Unfortunately, there just isn't enough information in the picture to get that. I hope that the distance from seat-tip to cabin floor is more than or comparable to CMax.

* In terms of ground to seat tip, Mach E is 1.5 inch more than CMax.
* Mach E and CMax has the same ground clearance (5.7 inch vs 5.5 inch).
* That's 1.5 inch height for the in-floor battery to take up. Hopefully, that's enough. And if it's not enough, I guess I can tolerate 1 or 2 inches smaller than the CMax.
Was able to sit in a Mach E today at a dealership here in the metro Phoenix area. I measured the driver's seat height after lowering it to the lowest. The seat height is 12.5 inches above the floor at it's lowest point, which when measured outside to the pavement, it is a total of 23 inches. Hope this helps friends!

I think some people wanted it raised as high as it could go to see if it was "SUV" like.

It goes quite high and the best part is I pushed it way back, but not all the way, and my 6 ft son still had leg room behind me. The back seat is great!

12.5 is exactly the same as my 2013 CMax Hybrid (which I believe is the same as Escape). That's great.

You made a good point. I don't care how low it can go, as long as it can go high enough. That being said, I'm confident that it will meet my needs if it's 12.5" at the lowest point.

My feeling about the front drivers seat was that it had a lot of movement ability to it, and so I believe it will would go fairly high, especially because I felt there was a lot of height to the ceiling. I am 5'9" on a good day and I felt as if there was PLENTY of ceiling height. I line of sight out the front was great, the A pillars are well out of the way. By the way, the 360 camera was sooooo great! You can choose the whole 360 or a certain area of the exterior of the car, ie: front right bumper. Very cool.
