I just received the following press release from Ford:
Reservations for the First Edition of the Mustang Mach-E are officially full -- though other models like the Premium edition and the GT are still available for pre-order.
Here are some key facts from the reservations bank:
2021 Mustang Mach-E First Edition reservations are full
Carbonized Gray is the most popular choice with 38 percent choosing it, with Grabber Blue Metallic 35 percent and Rapid Red 27 percent
More than 80 percent of U.S. customers are reserving Mach-E with an Extended Range Battery
About 55 percent are opting for all-wheel drive
Almost 30 percent of U.S. customers are choosing the Mach-E GT
More than a quarter of all reservations are coming from California

when you drive them like you stole it you don't get bonus points :)
8% for Ext Temp? Must be something other than the exterior temperature of the vehicle. Of the batteries?

Maybe to heat the batteries or loss of battery efficiency due to cold weather. I can preheat my Volt while it's plugged in with an app on my phone.
Ext. temp factors in due to the power required to run the HVAC system. I.E. cold temps require heat, hot temps you need to run the A/C.

Do the motors have matching numbers or VIN stamp for future collectability of first editions? What should the dash signature be? 8)

Nikola Tesla ...... conducted a range of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and early X-ray imaging. He also built a wireless-controlled boat, one of the first-ever exhibited. Tesla became well known as an inventor and demonstrated his achievements to celebrities and wealthy patrons at his lab, and was noted for his showmanship at public lectures. Throughout the 1890s, Tesla pursued his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments
^^^ Too bad his legacy has been tainted by a carny barker.
