Looks like the front bench seat with 50M with the listed trims is not available yet. I think that is the work surface item in a bench seat.
Oh I see, it looked cut off like the KC list may have more colors listed but if Race Red is the last thing listed then that's great!I should had done this at the beginning to help make it read better.

Star white is ok at Dearborn, mine is star white and scheduled but is a KR so don't know if that is true across the board but would bet it is.
It was the last line
They are all listed in the Source Book, which is posted as a Forum header (or you can search for it). They start on Page 44. I can save you some time, though, it is all trim levels with the 40/Console/40 layout.
No work surface option on that platinum? Curious why you wouldn’t option it honestly. Unfortunately they aren’t showing any availability.Looks like my Platinum is still on track for delivery by the end of December then!
SNAFU in full effect..
One reason not to order it is the latch eats up about 2" of your elbow space on the armrest, and just as I suspected, it was right where my elbow wanted to rest, so rest on a nice soft padded leather console lid, or rest it on a hard chrome plastic piece...easy decision to leave it off. Plus when that shifter motor breaks it's going to cost way more than $165 to fix it...
I work at a print shop and we have equipment with electric motors with hundreds of millions of activations. The machines are replaced before the motors wear out. If that shifter wears out, then it is defective.
I thought they all come with the shiftier motor.
Sorry, as an engineer, the fold down shifter is a complete marketing gimmick that overly complicates a high use item. A $0.43 pop-up rotary knob would have done the job and left more useable space in the console for better storage, better cupholders, etc. The motor may not break, but whatever attaches it to the shifter, and the other components in the system are all additional failure points that didn't need to be there. Hell, a column shifter would have worked too, just like they have since the '50s. And the electric motors specified for industrial equipment aren't quite in the same class as the components used in automobile interiors. Ever had a power window motor fail? How about the motorized face stereo head units? I'd hate to have to call a tow truck when my F-150 is immobile because something in the shifter mechanism is broken in the retracted position, or a sensor screws up, but to each their own.
Or power failer, electric circuit fart, bad connection ect ect.
There's gotta be a manual release, no? If the car is non startable or battery failure it cannot be towed unless you put the shifter in neutral, or at least I think that is what I remember when taking out the plastic cap and using a screwdriver on an old toyota I had.
I went to two different test drives in Dallas. Neither team could answer the question of if it had a motorized shifter without the workspace option. It's gonna look a little off with a hole for a shifter that doesn't move.
I cannot confirm, but I’d say it’s HIGHLY LIKELY there is an override of some sort. I’m pretty confident it’s government mandated. I work with cars a lot that have been wrecked, overheated, or otherwise disabled and the shifter won’t work. You may have to YouTube a tutorial, but every car I’ve come across has an unlock/override somewhere to get it into neutral for the exact reason of towing and moving when the vehicle can’t move under its own power.
