Actually there close to cracking the 21 F150 PCM which is basically the same operating system the DH is getting.
In theory everyone who bought the Mach 1 knew a new model to replace it was coming out. In theory everyone who buys a car knows that a new car is coming out the next year. Its like cell phones, there will ALWAYS be something new, that's capitalism.
Trust me that is gets old very fast. I installed a full fledged android tablet in my all analog Honda. It was a blast the first few months then I realized that 99.9% of the time I only used it for google maps and Spotify. What people don't understand about these screens is that Tesla designed their car around self driving before it was actually self driving. You are meant to remove your eyes off the road to use it. This is a drivers sports car. They choose the worst way to implement this which is two straight screens with huge borders, and integrated car functions into it, including temp/pressure.
the dash, wheel, and tablets are my complaint about the interior, nothing else. that bubble wheel...wth....I do like the fewer buttons and flat bottom though.FIRST CAN WE ALL APPRECIATE THAT THE V8 ISNT DEAD JUST YET

The right way to do this is to Keep a flowing screen or two separate screen. If separate, the driver side screen is curved/egressed as to prevent sun glare. Do this while keeping basic functions still analog. If you want to be fancy you can have the toggles on screen like in the mach-E.
With that being said, I dont get the interior hate outside the screen, wheel, and dash. Literally everything else is the same. The elbow rest, seats, door interior, mirror, cup holder, shift knob, front and back seats, etc is all S550.
It's a solid "refresh" of the S550. The real problem is that there are so many other cheap features Ford could have put in besides remote revving, which I heard isnt user throttle controlled but a preconfigured rev sequence. Ford in the old focus had the best anti-pothole tech I've ever saw before that died with the focus. There's also HUD, 360 degree camera, audible reverse warnings, etc. These are all cheap things ford would not have to invest that much money to achieve.
close! A MP convertible with red seats is probably rarer.I've got a '22 Mischievous Purple GT Premium California Special, well equipped with a 6-speed manual. From the research I have done, I definitely own a unicorn.
I'm beginning to wonder why I appear to be the only M6G with a Brittany Coastal (on order).
yup, HUMAN FACTORS is a thing. The human brain is a serial cable computer - SLOW on single-thread but massively parallel. Software engineers and tablet UI jockeys are MISERABLE at design primarily because they've never taken so much as a single class, and nobody apparently dusts off their copy of Human Computer Interface Design published circa 1980 by Apple, yes that Apple. I owned all 7 tomes for a while.
Got to milk the cow before its gone for good. Blame dealers/resellers and consumers. Ford is capturing the full value of the vehicle before it hits consumers. Nike killed their resellers by increasing MSRPs to insane levels making record profit.
To your point, toggle switches, tabbing work great in the current configuration. Your brain memorizes the location without having to stare at it and click around while focused on the road.
I am in software too and empathize with your comment. But where are those ergonomics and human interaction experts that youāre talking about? Theyāre gone I donāt know where. Last sane GUI functional designer I met was in 2006. Everything has been slowly tumbling downhill since then, but accruing speed and idiotic behaviors as it does.
Unfortunately, the only way to keep the Mustang alive is sales. I think once more EV's hit the market, that will probably be the end of the ICE sport coupe. Enthusiasts alone won't be enough sales to keep it going.
The M1 is a very nice looking car. The only thing that I think it is missing is a shaker hood. I know there is at least one company out there that offer them, but if Ford did it for the 03-04, they could have done it for the 21-22 models too and had it serve as a source of cool air the the CAI.
