The point is that for the level of work and when one adds in danger, the pay should represent the quality of the job and I have no Idea where you got your median income as MAYBE in some southern un-educated state like Kentucky you get that median income, but not here in Washington State and as @surreal1272 pointed out not in DC. Median Household Income By State 2021 (worldpopulationreview.com) Washington State is 8th in the nation for income at almost $77K a year to live here. Heck even your own state of New Jersey is almost $86K a year. As @Robert Hall pointed out, $44K to $75K is a starting wage depending on job, skill and education needed. I see Union Plumbers and Electrician Apprentices start here at $45K a year in Washington state and once they finish their 4 year apprentice, they are earning on average $85K a year. Again hard to have the best and brightest in DC especially the Secret Service when the pay is low and based on the stories I posted about the Secret Service, quality of life sucks as do the marriages with one of the highest divorce rates in the government sector.

Ford issued their press release late Friday September 17th 2021 as Police departments have been looking for electric purpose-built police vehicles to start replacing older ICE auto's in their fleets. Michigan State Police and the United Kingdom will get a chance to run 2022 with a select group of purpose-built police concept Mach-E suvs. So many requests came in from various police agencies in the UK (United Kingdom) that Ford decided to rotate through various agencies there a limited number of concept Mach-E's to be used and for feedback to come in on the auto. Michigan State Police will start a evaluation for 2022 on the Mach-E Police Concept. Police departments have always put demanding duty cycles on the cars, trucks and SUVs that they have used and Ford believes that the Mach-E can demonstrate with an electric powertrain that the Mach-E can deliver strong performance while holding up to the demanding duty cycle of police auto's. This program while focused on just using the Mach-E clearly shows the direction that Ford is looking to help recover R&D as one can easily see them offering an F-150 Lightning Police Pickup also. Ford says this is part of their $30 Billion investment in the electrification of the Ford Portfolio of auto's that will take them through 2025 as they move to an all-electric auto fleet.

Just double checked and even in the base long range model, you have no choice but to have to have a Yoke Steering wheel.

Interesting to see all the updated info on the web site: Introducing Cadillac LYRIQ: An All-Electric Future I see the Debut Edition will come in only two colors, Satin Steel Metallic and Stellar Black Metallic with interior being only two choices of Sky Cool Grey and Noir. Wonder what the Model Year 2024 will have for colors and interior options? I hope Cadillac does not go a couple model years with only these colors as I feel that would be a failure. I have to say that I am disappointed in the color choices both exterior and interior. They have expanded the info on Exterior and Interior Features. One has to wonder what the cost of the Full-glass Roof is if hail damages it? ? I do like the modern seats with built in speakers much better than the current seats Cadillac has.
