What features do Americans not get?

[ripperAZ]

Also included for American buyers is the fact that we’re not a continent at war with 30 Other countries we are just basically splitting ourselves apart

All the McDonald’s are still open and the Kardashians have a new show so everything looks OK

I wouldn’t mind a Frunk button

Ski pass through. My daughter is in color guard and would need to transport her flags. It would be great to open the pass through to carry them easily.

The US Mach E doesn’t lock the charging cable when charging via AC.

I believe the China Mach-E gets an animated horse for the puddle light, but we get a static picture (though I'd argue the animated picture might get old pretty fast).

Wow! That's cool. Would love to see that

That won't necessarily save Ford, lawyers can also sue on the idea that a technology is available, it's feasible to implement, other companies are doing it, no reason why Ford couldn't have done it and prevent this accident that is now the topic of this lawsuit.

Totally true. I guess someone in an office somewhere calculated the risk of that lawsuit as ever so slightly less than the risk of one if implemented.

I don't miss it.

Or just lay one of the back seats down?

I like the idea about the wrong way alert but unfortunately most of the wrong way crashes are the result of a 1999 Chevrolet caprice driven by a guy who is so drunk he can’t find his own nut sack. Often times The wife and kids are along for the ride

No GPS no screen and no ability for him to read it anyway

Jes sayin. Maybe when we update the national fleet of losers

This…all day. From my experiences and observations of late, Americans are getting much more aggressive and much worse at driving both at the same time. We need to fix the people, not continue to cover up their lack of ability with more tech. We don’t need fancy headlights, cars that apply the parking brake automatically, self driving modes, and whatever departure warnings, we need to pay attention.

That being said, I want cooled seats. I have them on my 2015 Chevy, not sure why my “loaded” mustang can’t have them.

What if there are 4 people in the vehicle?

Adding Wrong Way Alert — if you get on a highway going the wrong way. Why would this not be a universal feature? We've had a lot of reports in the past month in New England of severe accidents often causing deaths from wrong way drivers.

It’s been awhile since I looked, but when I did some research on the speed sign recognition, I think I read where Euro models could read and react to a few other road signs? I don’t recall what they were.

Really no adaptive headlights ? That part does work really well...

I never knew there were so many differences.

Official trailer towing capability. The EU manual says (paraphrasing here) "Oh, right then. One can jolly well tow this big a trailer with this tongue weight, with this trim level..." where the US manual clearly states (again paraphrasing) "SHAME ON YOU!!! DON"T YOU DARE EVEN THINK ABOUT TOWING A TRAILER WITH THIS BIG HEAVY-DUTY SUV!!"

Ford knows us Americans. They know if it has a hitch we will want to overload it. Why? Because it has a hitch. You will see threads on here bragging even, “What did you tow today with your MME?” It’s funny because it’s true!!

Rear fog light

Found it on the thread "GT puddle lamps RUNNING PONY": https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/gt-puddle-lamps-running-pony.13743/

On that thread, @Glen Boise posted this YouTube video of it:

That’s hilarious …now all we need to add is some electrons coming out of his butt and I’m all in for including it. I wonder if it’s interactive with the voltage system so when there’s a break down the horse just falls on its side

Jes sayin Maybe they should focus their efforts on other issues

While I agree with most of what you say the "fancy headlights" are very helpful for those of us who are older and have poorer night vision than we once had. The adaptive lights dim the part of the beam that hits a car that is oncoming or in front of the driver while maintaining high beams in the surrounding areas. Thus improving vision at night. They are not allowed in the US(although I thought I read somewhere that this has changed)because of outdated current regulations that specifiy that road-legal vehicles must have a dedicated high beam and a dedicated low beam. Because adaptive beams don't have dedicated, separate high and low beams, they violate this regulation. Adaptive beams can adjust brightness and illumination area, but they do all of it using the same LED lights.

I’m familiar with what they are and how they work. 2023 is the deadline for approval, so you should have your wish soon.
