^ This. For anyone driving infrequently, a tender should be one of the 1st mods to do. Modern cars are a lot like modern electronics: they almost never shut off. Lots of good choices here. The tender can be hard-wired to the car, allowing for quick connects and disconnects. Regarding insurance...

The glare and reflections on the screens have been an interest and concern of mine. However, the aftermarket has materials which can be custom cut or installed to reduce that while protecting the surface. Once the S650 is in the wild, I'd think model-specific offerings will be available. I...

I didn't realize there are so many wheel options? :crazy: Maybe Ford could dedicate less time to designing and making wheels while giving more resources to making the blasted parts I've got on backorder. :curse: LOL. :giggle: With respect to wheel style, IMO, no wrong answers. It's going to...

Yes. Check window stickers. In the upper-right, there are a set of numbers, "###/###." The second ### refers to the amount of cars entering the line that day, the Blend Day (see dates on top of sticker, towards center or the bottom of sticker). The first ### refers to where that particular car...

I wasn't aware of some makers and the possible need for a scanner-type tool to enter this mode. So there's that. The steps from Ford, while appreciated, could be frustrating to simple-minded people like myself. As commented above, I'm not trying to launch the Space Shuttle. All this wizbang...

After the initial deposit (if any), I'm not sure the dealer is going to accept still more monies, before the car arrives. I'd think the topic (financing or cash at close) would be settled as the order initially went in. The salesperson I worked with was indifferent to deposit amounts. They...

Yes. It's normal. Might give a customer some promising leads.

Slick. :like: So your blend date was May 11th. You were 825 on the line of 1125 on the day your build started.

It's the initial pivot, the first generation, towards providing infotainment, entertainment and gamification (words used in reviews) to vehicles' interiors. As the tech becomes cheaper, much of what's witnessed today should not be as clunky, obvious, or obnoxious in future builds (any vehicle)...

When you have time, go back and check your order status, at the Ford web site. https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/ Once "In Production", you should be gifted access to an electronic form of the car's Window Sticker. I got mine the day after I entered production. I'd block up to two...

Setting any vehicle appearance or maintenance issues aside, there are practicalities to Winter storage. It's not uncommon to pickup large amounts (tens of pounds) of frozen ice, sand and other bits over the course of a single daily commute. When this happens, the truck stays outside, until it's...

Depending on the color, something related to consider: a clear vinyl wrap, the entire car, in matte.

Previously, Ford would not build cars fixed with Summer tires during the Winter months. I'd have to get the dates from earlier model years, but it's like sometime in October, they stop building those specific orders. And as a new MY would begin, orders requiring Summer tires would not be built...

I'm not doubting the topics being discussed. Or, that Ford is wrestling with them. Me personally, I'd like to see something more official. Ford is working on QC issues, we've confirmed that much. Not just Flat Rock, MI, but several other locations. But with respect to dates and Mustang...

Is there some source document for the above? Something we can see?

In previous MYs, some Mustang orders were significantly delayed or canceled. Not to discount those clients' experiences, but they were few and at the extreme end of what happened. As other's have stated, the Bronco was another extreme; it was a completely new model, built with unprecedented...

Some additional insight from an earlier thread:

I don't consider one color better than another. Each person enjoys and appreciates their selection. I currently own a GBM car. Given the choice to change to Vapor Blue, I'd keep what I have. Velocity Blue was a killer color; I'd consider changing to it, as I would several other of the brighter...

That's a welcome sign, that Ford ack'd the order. I'd double-check with the salesperson, but it reads like he was unaware of his current allocations. A simple call or check-in to follow-up should remove any doubt.
