Mustang Mach-E ‘First Edition’ Reservations are Full

Ford revealed a few fun facts about Mach-E reservation preferences, from color choices and battery size to trim levels and drive trains. 

Ford set the record straight about how the Mustang Mach-E reservations process is going thus far. It’s clear that, despite the divided reaction among Mustang enthusiasts, potential customers are spending $500 to reserve the Mach-E. How many so far? That’s still unclear, as Ford hasn’t released official numbers, either for reservations placed or how many First Edition models they plan to produce. But here’s what we know.

No More First Editions

Ford has filled its 2021 Mustang Mach-E Fist Edition reservations. Meaning, unless someone drops out, it’s effectively sold out. Given that production is still months away, you can bet that more than a few folks will cancel their refundable reservations. But you’ll have to wait and see. As for color preferences,38% of First Edition customers prefer Carbonized Grey to 35% of Grabber Blue Metallic to 27% Rapid Red.

On the other end of the timeline, 30% of U.S. customers have reserved the high-performance Mustang Mach-E GT, which won’t debut until Spring 2021. Featuring all-wheel drive and 235 miles of range, the GT will leap to 60mph in the mid-3-second range courtesy of its 459 ponies and 612 lb.-ft. of torque.

Battery Size & Drive Train Preferences

The Extend Range Battery is also proving quite popular in the U.S. 80% of American customers chose the larger battery option, which gives owners faster acceleration and 270-300 miles of range, depending on drivetrain configuration. Speaking of which, Ford said approximately 55% of customers opted for all-wheel drive.

Ford’s last factoid is also its least surprising. Care to guess which state in the U.S. has ordered the most Mustang Mach-Es? California, of course. Sunshine State residents have reserved more than 25% of all Mach-Es so far. This makes sense, of course. It’s a densely-populated state known for its aggressive emissions regulations — seriously, you didn’t want to live here 20-40 years ago when the smog was oppressive — and tax rebates. The downside? California Ford dealerships love to tack on ADMs to anything with a whiff of hype.
