Its PRNDL (and pronounced "prindle") and is probably here to stay.

In the Bolt its PRNDL and L = 1-pedal mode.

According to Eva Gabor it is pronounced “Pernandle.”

Ok - so this is my bad - I rushed the document a bit and both areas originally said 20th June as this was the date I remembered in my head, but then remembered that dealers would be getting in touch end of May. I wanted to wait until I had the PowerPoint with the confirmed and specific dates in it - but everyone was desperate for me to publish and I only amended one instead of both by mistake. Apologies everyone!!

The 6/20/20 date was supposed to be the start of official production at the plant - for prod vehicle #1. I saw that somewhere but cannot remember where.

I remember Prod #1 being in the official timeline - god I wish Ford would hurry up and send me that slide. ?

So I have a gift for any UK readers out there this evening .... A model specification chart that makes sense of the mess that is the Ford.co.uk Mach-E website.

I've been working on this for some time and got the missing pieces to the puzzle confirmed yesterday.

I have also attached the US & Europe Sheets supplied directly from Ford's Media Website just for completeness / comparison.

i don’t see specs anywhere about an electrochromic roof. Is this something they plan at a later date as a “surprise“ option? TIA

I really don’t believe it will be electrochromic. I think it is going to be a sputtered low-e coating.

At the Marble Arch event I was told by a very knowledgeable Ford rep that it was electrochromic - so I have no reason to not believe him. He was really proud of the fact and he mentioned it to a few people while I was looking round the car. ?‍

If it’s not - then that’s a whole lotta glass to have no sun shade. We’re all gonna cook.

I think it will have an advanced sputtered low-e coating like are on commercial and residential glasses these days.

While I think the electrochromic roof would be very cool--no pun intended -- it's not so bad without it. At worst you might want to add some tint to the roof. For me, I just prefer a metal roof for a number of reasons.

I have the all glass roof on my MS that’s not electrochromic, and it never feels hot with its heavy tinting. So either way I’m not worried.

Couldn’t production vehicles #1 through #xxx be testers sent to dealers for test drives?

I recall the words “early summer” being used by Ford in a couple of interviews and one reporter covering that into a date.

This is great, thanks Wonks! I see you deducted to £3,800 government grant. Do you know at all how we’re able to claim on that grant, or is it something the dealer applies at the point of sale?

What is electrochromic glass?

If the weight is accurate then that's good news.

The dealer will take care of that for you.

The only one you'll have to apply for is the OLEV grant of £500 for a charging point install at home (if you want one) - but even that is handled mostly by the charging point supplier.

I had a Chargemaster one installed when I bought my Prius PHEV and I think it ended up costing me £70 after the grant paid for the rest.
