Anyone know when journalists get to demo and release reviews?

Looking forward to getting some feedback from journalists. It's not perfect and sometimes biased, but I'd really like to see what they have to say.

I hope YouTuber Alex on Autos gets one long term to test it out.

Worried about getting a first year, new model truck - hoping for minimal disruptions with recalls, TSB, software glitches, etc....

I think that's not realistic. Based on year 1 with the Mach-E, there will be all of the above. And many dealers will have challenges handling the issues. Minimal? No. Hoping they learned from the Mach-E, sure. But they're still learning. BlueCruise updates were released to the dealerships (because they haven't yet rolled out OTA to the masses), and that's not going very well.

I don't think any embargos will be lifted until after 4/26 when Ford does their own launch.

That's soon!

I hope 4/26 will be when we start seeing the first youtuber content though that might be a bit optimistic.

I watch/listen to an obscene amount of EV content and haven't heard about any media drives that will take place before 4/26. I'm guessing the floodgates will open after the launch event and we'll see first drives in the first week of May.

I think media reviews will be on hold until after 4/26.

That said, the review I am waiting for is Tom Moloughney's 70mph range test. Hoping for a solid 290-300mi highway range in real world conditions. (For reference the Rivian was able to do 292mi on all terrain tires.)
