Considering the car is made in Michigan, it'll take longer time to get it to BC.

I would pay you or donate to a charity of your choice for an Auto Show Ford coupon.

I have a good friend of mine who works at the Edmonton autoshow.
Tomorrow is the last day, BTW.
And Vancouver is already done.
PM me for his email, if you still want to get $750 coupon.

Is anyone else concerned about the safety of the battery pack placement in the car? I'm not comfortable - perhaps irrationally so - with so much weight/stored energy being located directly behind the rear passengers. In most EVs the batteries are under the passenger compartment cabin, so there's an extra layer of steel protection. With the FFE the only protection is the casing the batteries are housed in, which from videos I've seen seems to be checkplate. In rear-end collision, what happens to the battery pack? Will it be pushed into the rear-passengers? Will it explode?

While I was shopping for my car, I've visited few Ford dealerships in GTA.
Every one of them had in the showroom $50k Focus RS.
Looking at the Ford inventory, there's at least 36 of these in the GTA alone.
I think I saw one in the wild.
So, why dealerships stock up on these expensive and somewhat silly cars, (who wants to spend that much money on the Focus?)
and wouldn't order FFE's, which are being sold almost right away?
I hope the 2017 being new model, they will ramp up production soon enough, so they can have at least couple in stock.

Simple...Sex sells!

The RS is on sexy beast. Customer may come in to look at the RS but is turned off by the price and purchase an ST instead.

Hard to sell a basic Focus after seeing the FFE and customer wanting ICE Focus for more price!
Peeons with power trips. LOL

You sure it's sold? Looks like they had two of them and only one listed as sold on website.

You are more than welcome to come see the electric Focus but it as been sold so we cannot test drive. We also seem to not have any more units until Ford decides to give us more.

Those are selling like hot cakes thanks to the government rebate. Is it true that waiting time is almost 6 months if buying now?

Their system takes a while to update. Mine was listed as available for a few days, even thou my paper work was already approved.

Ford inventory system is very misleading. I've contacted several dealerships within GTA on their apparent "in-stock" showing of the FFE on Ford's inventory tool. A few sales employees are even surprised that it is showing as available on-line when they are firmly sold to customers. It is my belief that the inventory tool itself is to capture interest for potential customers to come and contact the dealership to drive traffic. For me, it was a big waste of time and really frustrating when you want to make a deal then being told that it is not available.

Avoid Erinwood Ford at Mississauga at all cost. Complete waste of time dealing with them. The worst quote I received for FFE by far. The difference was over $4K on total 3 year lease cost from the 2nd worst quote.

UPDATE for Elmec EVSE Group Buy, due to popularity, I have asked Elmec to increase the group limitation from 10 to 15.

1) UNDFTDss (myself)
2) neptune
3) Wrcfocus (code given)
4) Yugo
5) kijijis3lling
6) mwmsnow
7) notchy
8) dreaderus (Code given)
9) joshmxpx
10) LoveRFD
11) invinci
12) chew pick man (code given)
13) LauD14 (code given)
14) Poormanfletch
15) banban (code given)

Once again, let me know if you have changed your mind so I can give your spot to someone who wants the charger. And I'll PM you the code when it is closer to your pick-up date to minimize the risk of oversharing. Elmec has programmed the code so that it'll only work 15 times, so please do not share the code when I give it to you.
