I would ask the GM at the dealer if they would upgrade you to a Premium model at the same cost as the Select. I am not familiar with the '23 options, but does the Premium have what you wanted? Good luck.
Ford just screwed me.

@marcuswarren82 I was so happy to see you were excited & close to getting your MME end of October, how are you enjoying it? I think the Premium checks all the boxes for options & has the glass roof top which is always a ohh ahh feature when people enter. Also Black looks amazing on MME’s as well. I’d luv to see a picture?
@Doc I ordered my 22 Premium Ext. Range. 01/29/22 & picked it up from dealer July 4th weekend. You ordered just shortly after & would have like received it 2022. I seen a sweet senior couple at Electrify America who approached me on a recent trip back from UT to CA & they rented a Polestar (Hertz & 1st time) & asked me to help them. They’d been there around midnight over 1 Hr. & struggling with the car. Of course I checked the odometer & readings & explained it to them but unfortunately we couldn’t establish a charge but she had enough range to get them to their 35 mile destination. In their higher 80’s they were so elated to know they’d arrive safely. The husband was fragile & she was the driver. They said they wanted an EV but next time they’d pick a different type car. In fact I have a picture bc they reminded me of my parents (mine are younger though but my dad is also the fragile one (stroke) & my mom is primary driver) & a similar situation. (See pic in their Polestar.)
I told them the Mach-E was flawless (1,500 mile road trip) & charges without a hiccup.
When I ordered in January 2022 & picked up July 2022 they initially gave me paperwork for 3.99% & I told them “No I am expecting the rate when I ordered” & they quickly changed it to 2.49% (had 740+ Fico’s) but I think they’d honor request anyway from anyone’s order date if mentioned. The Ford Options plan has huge initial reductions/initial rebates that the regular purchase loan didn’t have. So I did the Ford Options plan & will pay it off within the 4 yr term & have a really sweet payment. Also qualified for the $7,500 tax credit.
Only thing I would change if I could but I didn’t know then what I know now, I’d of ordered a GTPE bc I love my MME & could only imagine the higher level in Performance edition. But maybe that’s not good for my driving record. Lol
I’m happy with my 2022 Premium MME. Any MME to own is a prize 🏆
@Tony Shifflett I seen that also. With interest rates going way up & talks about prices on cars going down (inflation, etc) some buyers may be getting cold feet but another thing I am aware of, many workers at dealerships “Ordered” MME’s & planned to sell them on the lot bc there was a shortage to dealerships. There were Mark Ups & $$ was to be made. So maybe their saying customer cancellations but could be otherwise. It wasn’t allowed, that’s why they ask us for Drivers License upon ordering. A worker told me about that (2 MME orders) & he’s no longer there.🤷🏻♀️
Btw, Teslas have a lot of recent (Oct-Dec) buyers upset with their huge price cuts effective Jan. 2023. Something Elon said they wouldn’t do. But he realizes his current state & is trying to appease shareholders & move inventory. So the facade of being more then just an Auto Manufacturer is bust, Tesla is that, an Auto Manufacturer reaching for stars 🌟 to try & sustain in a penetrable EV industry with major competitors knocking ✊ on his heels.
Will this sway Ford to follow suit & lower prices, I think not bc Ford is very Strong, Solid & will rise above maintain it position as it continues to progress steadily in the right direction.
I also think Rivian is in trouble but thats a whole other paragraph. I’m just glad I sit in a winning vehicle & every day feels that way..💙
