It depends...there are several variables, but I'll go through a handful.
At the time you place an order, everyone agrees to the price of the car: Ford, the dealer and you.
Between then and you taking receipt of the car, Ford might increase prices on the base model or impacting options. If this...
Check. So, I'd say no, I would not expect any leakage.
If you can, follow-up with a hose at home. It could help find the specific point and visually see what might be going on, if it is not already obvious. It'd also confirm how low the pressure can be when it does leak.
Something most...
So as to help clarify what happened:
"...pressure was pretty strong." I've read one thread where a Member used a wand at full power and inadvertently stripped decals off the paint; this level of pressure will go past door window seals. At the other extreme, household hose pressure should not...
I looked for that in the 2022 manual. The statement is on page 232, under "Driving Economically". As @Dena mentioned, in doing so, you lose the benefit of free engine braking. The engine is spinning no matter what. The spent fuel can be used to brake the car (some benefit) or idle (wasted)...
Thank You for keeping us updated on progress.
I am a bit concerned of this dealer.
When initially checking out the car, you'd mentioned they had to jump start it. The dealer should have been starting the car often enough where that was not necessary. Or, been aware of the starting issue and...
I haven't read up on CA, but in FL, all sellers of these policies must be licensed with the state of FL. Granger does not have a license. FL consumer protection laws. It's a national, Ford policy. But that's the law in FL. I suspect CA is same.
Edit: Confirmed same in CA. If you are an...
Passive Entry Passive Start (PEPS). Nothing special. Ford's lingo for their fob.
They did ship one printed copy of the Owner's Manual and Warranty Guide.
It's a good question. I never asked who did what. The locking nuts were on the car when I picked it up, while the original non-locking lugs (4) and key were given to me. I also got the pouch with the serial number of the locking lugs.
If you have a preference in how you'd like to receive, chat...
Ford has a General Service bulletin, GSB YY-7003, where "YY" is the calendar year. The GSB specifies what paint issues are warrantable and what are not. The most current version of the GSB I've found is 23-7003. The link that follows is an example. I'm also attaching a file of the GSB, dated...
I think it's an option you'll appreciate. I definitely enjoy having mine.
The overwhelming amount of responses I've read have been positive of the option. The ability for the suspension to constantly adjust to conditions, in addition to tuning itself further by mode, is very well-received.
Wheels without sensors reporting "ghost" data is a bit of a concern. Mine alarm in a few moments if something is not right. There have been a few threads of owners and shops installing non-Ford sensors. Cheaper in price, quality and tolerances (frequency variations, transmit power, etc.)

Available to everyone, the "Ignore" feature.
Click on the Member who's proving irritating. Select the "Ignore" button. Service enables immediately. By default, the ignore is two-way; neither party will see one another, or their content.
The list of ignorees is saved to the Member's account...
Whatever might be occurring, I feel it's down to more than AE alone.
I know when I change from one mode to another, it's not just AE changing, but any number of components designed and programmed to compliment one-another. Throttle mapping, injectors, timing advance, fuel trims, all sense the...
I think it's down to the butt dyno.
When I change between modes, I'll feel a difference, but this is down more to throttle mapping, suspension adjustments and changes in the sound of the exhaust. Something might be truly measurable, but the differences will be very slight.
What is gained in...
I haven't seen anything that gets into such detail. Several companies are offering recommendations for their products, but they do not list related measurements.
Many have their car at home now. This thread is being seen. Maybe someone in a like situation could take a few readings and post.
In...
You can imagine on the S650 alone, the information in a database would be huge. The information is often left to the owners and sites like this. Someone asks a question, a responder takes some photos or makes a measurement.
Limits? IDK. There are a handful of examples already of those who have...

The link above is a detailed read, but it helps to define the distinction between oxidation, corrosion and rust.
Specific to your issue, it appears the surface is oxidizing, creating a patina on the surface. Removing the patina may...
Ouch. I mean...Ouch. :crying: A little love, eh? :inlove:. :giggle:. I can appreciate moving on to another vehicle though. Some like to experience as many as possible, and trade their cars accordingly.
Original, un-modified cars are easiest to sell and often bring the best price. I can give you...
