Thanks for the pics. I own a 365 so appreciate the pics for scale.
Here is another scale picture of that same space. It had much more space in it than I expected.

Will post more later but wanted to get these out there ASAP to help settle the visibility debates.

Not sure if it’s been documented but Mirror IS ABSOLUTELY adjustable up and down. There is the typical stem off the glass mount which pivots up or down, then the ball at the end that the mirror articulates on. Moving the stem upwards and then adjusting the mirror provides over an inch of additional clearance. If you go to an event or go for a test drive be sure to adjust before coming to any conclusions. I personally felt the visibility was fine, whether at maxed out seat height or lowest seat height when the mirror is in the highest position. I would not want to drive around with it in the lower position though since I know it’s blocking some of my view unnecessarily. YMMV based on your preference.

For those used to SUV/Car based windshields, you can note the very steep angle of the Bronco windshield in these pics.

For any pictures that have the body of the tape measure included, the distance of the body adds 2.5” to what shows on the tape.

Thanks for grabbing all those measurements!

Do the door storage bags seem thin and flexible enough to able to fold up tight enough to fit under the back seat?

More...

Cup holders on manual have removable bottom liner. On the Automatic they also have little tension fingers for different cup sizes. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad, as dust and crud may get stuck in the crevices of the fingers and jam them up over time.

Manual shift boot material is not real leather right now. Feels more like thin faux leather backed with foam maybe? Hopefully this gets improved before delivery.

Floor liners on washout floor MUST be snapped down otherwise they slip and slide like crazy when you hop in. Wife and I both experienced footing slippage on entry without havinmg mentioned it to each other; when multiple people experience the same problem, I tend to think that's a problem.

In my grill photo shots, you can see two things clearly; the washer fluid nozzle that is below the front camera. (there's another thread discussing this right now, so figured I'd point out my pic captured it for posterity....) Also, the front grille active shutters. My only fear is that in the Rust belt, these may get gummed up within a few winters if not washed off regularly and then regreased. Time will tell I guess.

I noticed the engine hood liner in the 2.3 manual. Nothing comparable on the auto. Forgot to check if that was a 2.3 or 2.7; anyone else that has attended the East Coast marketing team previews should be able to recall which motor the AMB has.

Removing the antenna leaves a small stub. The antenna is done thoughtfully though as it has a rubber grip for easier hand removal.

Center console grab handle for passenger is definitely a little flexy. I'm sure it's stable enough for grabbing, but it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Was able to handle one of the door storage pouches. It’s not thin but it’s not super thick either. It’s padded so will protect from scuffs. Would not consider it dent protection though.

The included tool kit is nice enough. Looks like there may be some room to add some additional basic tools if needed. (or someone off and pilfered some of the other tools already?) But hey, the 10mm was still there, so it's got that going for it. 😁

For those that like to ride Harley style with their left leg outside of the door when running doorless, I'm pretty sure the lower door indexing peg will work as a perch for your foot. 😋 As pointed out by another B6G member I met there today, there is a dead pedal for us Clutch drivers, so that's where my left foot will live most of the time, even when my doors are off. 😁 (I did not grab a pic of the dead pedal as he said he was going to, and post in his thread; I hope he took pics of the paint sample green panels he brought along to hold up against the preview models... :cool:)

When folded, the top that has that ‘sag’ over the rear row needs to be tucked when folding if you want it to be nice and tidy for the rear passengers. Once tucked, I think it looks pretty good actually; but I had to stand there in the rear passenger row to tuck it in nice. So if you decide on a whim to flip it back while at a stop light, whoever is in the back row may need to stand up and give it a tuck if they don't want the flap hanging down over their heads.

I noticed the same thing with the center grab handles. There was play in every trim line I tested. I did wonder if it will be adjusted in the final builds. It did not appear to be flex in the plastic box but more flex from the handle itself.

Yes, I think you absolutely could; at least two of them. Four stacked and rolled, I'm not so sure due to the added bulk.

But if you did this, (with any amount of them) I personally would not try to fold the seats flat onto them like some have theorized... that may actually damage them in some way, as the lower seat cushions come down pretty close to the floor pan when folded down. Add in those metal strut supports and I could just see the fabric getting cinched, cut, etc....

For anyone that has followed this thread and my posts as it's been evolving all day, now that I'm home and have access to a good keyboard, I've gone back and edited/updated most of what I've written. Some with more detail, some to make what I was trying to say more clear. So it may be worth re-reading all the original posts if you're so inclined.

Cheers,
Elton

Thanks for the pics and your thoughts.

The interiors look very ‘lived in’ already all that was missing is some French fries under the seats.

Awesome, thanks for the pics and nice sig...it does put that back under floor storage into some scale/perspective.

Good observation on the cup holders odd they would be different.

The bars under the bumper are the crash bars that are removed for squatch models/35's.
The Amb black Diamond was 2.7 and the badlands was 2.3. Great post. Thanks
