There are more changes in the small print of by Ford announced Update for Mustang Mach-E 203.5. Changed title is new battery chemistry with improved range and charging, more powerful AWD versions, and lower prices. Those lower MSRPs were countered by the revised price for some features like BlueCruise, has tripled for those who sign up for a hands-free driving technology renewal. In the watch by Tesla In a move to cut prices, Ford also followed Tesla’s move to charge for what used to be standard equipment. Ford mobile phone Charger (FMC) that used to be bundled with the Mach-E, now it costs $500. Parallel is Tesla Mobile Connect was once standard equipment for Model Ybut currently priced at $230.
As you’ll notice, the same process led to two very different outcomes in terms of money – $500 versus $230. Honestly, we don’t understand why Ford is charging so much unless they’re trying to attract Mach-E buyers. Are not to buy FMC. The 20-foot FMC reaches a maximum output of 30 amps and comes with two plugs, a NEMA 5-15 plug for a regular 120V outlet and a NEMA 14-50 plug for a 240V outlet. Ford advises owners who do not have a suitable outlet to “simply contact a licensed electrician” or “contact [Ford’s] preferred installer, Sunrun.” The 20-foot Tesla cell phone cord maxes out at the same 30 amps and comes with the same connectors. sell an adapter to accommodate seven additional plug types, from NEMA 5-20 to NEMA 6-50. The bundle costs $245, meaning Tesla buyers can get the wires and connectors still $25 more than the Ford unit – and can skip paying the electrician extra cash.
Even stranger, what seems to be the same FMC is sold in the Ford Accessories store costs $470, not $500. That happens to Lightning F-150, also; adding FMC to the pickup’s configurator adds $500 to the price, Ford accessories store sell it for $470.
Aftermarket portable charging cords range in price from about $150 to $350, with lots in the $200 to $300 range.
Besides, Ford adds Lite comfort package to the entry-level Mach-E Select trim. It installs heated front seats, a driver’s seat with memory, a heated steering wheel, and power-folding rearview mirrors for $1,500. Compared to the Full Comfort Package available on higher trims, the Select’s Lite version lacks power liftgates and cargo area flaps.
Product planners also lowered the price of the GT Performance Pack by $1,000, to $5,000. This upgrades the top-spec GT version with modifications like a more powerful front electric motor, 20-inch wheels on summer tires, MagneRide suspension and performance seats in the front row.
The last item not mentioned is the destination fee increased from $500 to $1,800. A year ago, the destination fee was $1,100.
