Your comment about heated seats is exactly why the XLT+ or Lariat is the absolute minimum if you live where it gets really cold. The heat in my Mach E when the weather is sub freezing decimates the battery.

I’ll be adding aftermarket heated seats on my Pro.

Didn't know you can do that. Is it just covers?

The better way to do it is to remove the factory covers and install the heaters under them on top of the foams. Most upholstery shops would probably do the install for a couple hundred bucks. This is an example of an upper end brand at $100 each, but there are plenty of choices on Amazon for $50 or less. I checked the current draw, looks to be 4.5 amps of 12V, so shouldn't have too much impact on range.

Great! I wish you luck. Let us know how it goes. I'm still a long ways off, but I just sent an email to my dealer to make sure they are still abiding by their non binding agreement to sell at MSRP.

I got confirmation from my dealer that they're (non-binding) agreeing to sell at MSRP. Btw, I'm also in Wave 1 - I reserved 3 hrs after reservations opened.

They're also wanting me to do an offline order. I read thru the playbook and not sure if that it's worth it vs online ordering - i.e. can I change options ahead of order scheduling with the dealer that I couldn't otherwise? I changed my Mach-E order to get additional MA benefits with the dealer after ordering (EVs under $50K get a $2500 rebate). I think they used additional allocation so it was a win-win for them because they got an extra Mach-E, I even still received the updates on the original order.

Does anyone know if after hitting "continue order" if I'm committed to online vs. offline ordering?

I did everything online to make sure it was all locked in online and they couldn't sweet talk me into upgrades at the dealership. I don't think you are done online until you submit your deposit. When i ordered mine online, i made sure that the "difference from msrp" line was $0. That's where people on here claim it shows if dealers had added ADM. Once i finished online, i immediately called dealer to confirm he see's my completed order and deposit on his end. When they say yes, tell them to hurry and accept because you want to lock in your model before its gone. Once they accept, your order will be sent to ford. If they say you still have to come in to do paperwork, its true. But if your "difference from msrp shows $0", rush them to accept the order. The final process is just to go into the dealer, review what you ordered and sign your paperwork in person to make sure you are who you say you are online. All the negotiating is pretty much done because ur price is submitted online to ford.

Now, if your "difference from msrp shows $5,000, then don't finalize order online until you get answers from dealer why its not $0.

Just remember, since you are in wave 1, you are almost guaranteed to get one this year. So if u wanna risk it and get on the bottom of someone else's list, not get it til late 2023 or 2024, and potentially miss out on EV tax incentives, then that's your call.

I personally, never got a straight answer about ADM or msrp from my dealer until after i completed my online order and went in to see them. They were kind enough that since i was their first order, they wouldn't charge me a markup. If your dealer tries to, you can always bring up the ford memo warning dealers for price gauging and allotment. Good Luck!

I did this offline/in-dealer so I can't give the best info but I am pretty sure until you put your deposit in online.. you can still switch and order at the dealer.

If you're interested in ordering offline I cover how it went for myself here (and a few others have chimed in about their experience as well in the thread):

Did anyone else randomly receive a Ford Credit pre-approval email right before they got an email to convert their reservation to an order? I just got one out of the blue. Have never owned anything from Ford before but I have an early reservation.

Just received one as well, which is odd. This is like the link we saw on Ford sometime ago, but now in email form.

 

[tbinmd]

Just received the email as well. Matches what showed up in the link on my reservation last week. No order button on my reservation. Hoping it’s happening soon.

For me it was $110,000 pre-approval which is prob no coincidence that it covers the price of a Platinum. Try to get you to buy the big boy in advance of placing order. Interesting approach if they actually do that. But I’ll bet the reservation to order email will come a week from now in wave 2.

Got the same email with the same $110,000 pre-approval amount. Come on, Wave 2!

My reservation went in late on day 2. I also got the promo email, for 87k. I can’t imagine I’ll get an invite anytime soon.
