The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E soldiers on into the new model year with a few updates as the EV crossover prepares to enter its fourth year of production, which aim to keep that particular model fresh and competitive in a burgeoning market dominated by the Tesla Model Y. As Ford Authority reported last month, 2023 Mustang Mach-E order banks closed a few weeks ago, which means that it’s nearly time for 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E order banks to open. Now, sources familiar with the matter have told Ford Authority precisely when that’s set to happen.
Order banks for the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Select and Premium trim levels are scheduled to open up tomorrow, November 2nd, 2023. As for the Mach-E GT and Rally trims, order banks will open at a later, as yet unspecified date.
The big news for the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E is the arrival of that new, aforementioned Rally variant, which debuted this past September and participated in the 2023 Rebelle Rally. The rally-inspired model offers up more power than even the range-topping Mach-E GT Performance Edition – 480 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque versus 480/634, and adds unique wheels, Michelin CrossClimate2 all-season tires, MagneRide shocks with specially-tuned springs, a 0.8-inch suspension lift, 15.8-inch front brake rotors with Brembo calipers, and protective shielding for both motors, plus a host of appearance updates.
The 2023 Mustang Mach-E received a host of notable changes as well, including the addition of the new LFP battery pack for standard range models, the addition and deletion of two exterior colors, while a panoramic fixed-glass roof with infrared reflective windshield became standard on GT and GT Performance Edition models, along with some new wheel options, and standard all-wheel drive for the California Route 1 was added to that trim. Perhaps the biggest news for 2023 is the deletion of the Ice White Appearance Package and the introduction of the new dark-themed Nite Pony Package, however.

Oy vey. Business strategy is produce more expensive models when you can’t sell the cheaper ones.
Maybe they should just skip a year and let all the 2023’s collecting dust sell first.
