I ordered a Mustang Mach E last night. Extended battery and AWD. Have a home where Tesla has no service centers or stores! Ford dealership is within several miles.

Is there anything on the Mach-E that you liked BETTER than your Tesla?

Cool, but read the fine print under note 1. You didn't buy or order anything. Your dealer will call one day.
I received a phone call from the dealership at 11:10am today.
A well placed hole in the Tesla frunk and a rubber plug is an easy Tesla add-on.
I will most likely be able to buy one off the lot a year later for thousands less!
Instead you gave up being able to easily drive coast to coast using the Tesla Supercharging infrastructure. Get rid of your State politicians who won't allow Tesla in your State. On a different note... glad that you are moving from gas and wish you happiness with your choice to move to EV and helping the planet.

I'd have to see it, sit in it, try it out. i don't think I could make a judgment based on just advance photos and specs.

Well I'm not planning on buying the Mach-E but one thing it has that I can't seem to get in a Model 3 is a heated steering wheel.
We've got a few more years left of clutching cold steering wheels before robo taxi heated massage chairs take my mind off the cold.

I agree completely.
The cynical part of me notes that traditional dealerships have been soft-pedaling EVs for a long time. Even the Chevy Bolt and Nissan Leaf, which are arguably the most well-established and most-available non-Tesla EVs, are often shoved off into distant parts of dealer lots, with one or two token samples available, compared to dozens or hundreds of gassers. (Not all dealerships do this, of course, but many do.) Of course, Ford could do things differently and incentivize dealers to push the new model, as well as promote it heavily nationally. If not, I expect spotty availability and disappointing sales.
OTOH, another point that might be a plus for the car in a marketing sense is the fact that it's being sold as a Mustang. I could see somebody who's owned Mustangs in the past walk into a Ford dealership and see a bigger and more practical (for their growing family) Mustang hatchback and want to take a look at it for this reason, perhaps even not initially realizing it's an EV. Personally, I don't care about this, and my initial reaction was that calling the car a Mustang was a bit bizarre; but if Ford plays it right, it could be a good marketing move.
I guess we'll just have to wait a year or two to see how this all plays out.

Heated steering wheel for me also !! Have it our 2016 Volt and miss it in our Model 3....

Oh heck, I forgot about that. My wife has it in her 2016 Volt and I was playing with the idea of a Model Y for her. May have to wait until we move further south
