This could have been titled “Old guys complaining about the future”
I’ll be charging at Level 2 at home 99% of the time. Many people do the same. It is such a pain to go to the gas station twice a week. Dropping $80 a week vs $12 in electricity
Why all the negativity? Seems like you guys planned on hating everything about this car before the video started.
I said it’s spotty, good looking and liked the interior design. It also rides rough, has a challenging screen and is rather low to the ground for a crossover. Can’t review without being true to myself. Otherwise, I would be dishonest.
@@NathanDAdlen I guess the tone evened out towards the end of the video, but the start seemed really negative. I guess you gotta call it like you see it. Love TFL and I appreciate the reply.
@@JuiceBoxScott thanks amigo!
@@NathanDAdlen being honest is vital to credibility…. My take away was a couple of people with an axe to grind…(nobody cares what you think of the name… that is in no way objective)
@@stevecain4212 If nobody cares what I think of the name, then why bother commenting in the first place? I think you care Steve. BTW, it’s also a lot of fun to drive. I said that as well, but I know you don’t care.
Not a pain in the ass compared to ICE. You have a full tank every day when you leave for work. The inconvenience is having to stop at a gas station at all.
Agree 💯. We are now a 2 EV household. Never going back to gas/diesel cars.
my thoughts exactly, gas vehicles are an utter nightmare
This channel always harps on long charging times at stations, but it's really not an issue for the overwhelming majority of people. Most people aren't traveling 200+ miles a day and will just charge at home.
Most people do most of their EV charging at home while they’re doing other stuff like eating, sleeping etc. In that respect it takes less time than a stop at a gas station. Oh I did I mention it costs way less to “fill up”?
This! I spend about 30 seconds a day charging my car. I plug it in when I get home at night and unplug it in the morning .
Good luck on a long road trips. I’d rather get to where I wanna get in a decent time not waiting around for charging or waiting in line to charge.
@@rippedgli True charging on the road takes longer but we only make a few long road trips a year. So it works well for our needs.
@@rippedgli Depends, My Tesla Y charged superfast lvl 3 and I had to rush eating.
@@rippedgli Exactly, having to wait hours to charge on road trips suck. Also, I like to explore off the beaten path which is still difficult to do in a EV.
The segment should be called "Two old men complain EV cars for 20 minutes"
I know, it was awesome.
Get old man Roman off of the EV channel 😂
A rant on how ICE is better on a EV channel 😂. Roman off the hinges is funny. Nathan was self aware that it’s for the EV channel and giving him a blank look 🤣.
That’s an absolutely awesome car it looks so much better than the Tesla!!!!!
That’s the only place where it’s better than a Tesla.
@@JAM_2024 Plus the fact that it’s build quality is a lot better due to it being from Ford who have been building cars forever and that’s most noticeable in its handling compared to the Y.
And the fact that you can get it serviced at your local dealership same day any day.
Those are the two biggest factors imo, there’s other small ones like car play and android auto etc.
Kia ev6 over Ford or Tesla..
@@toddsampsel224 Yes I did see that Kia and I thought it was a good looking car but just a little plain for me I could be wrong but I still like the styling of that mustang better
@@JAM_2024 yes I believe you are right also
The panoramic sunroof adds both height and light for the back seat.
Also, the range on this GT model was in 2021, and remains in 2022, 270 miles.
Does anyone know what the range is based on? Like 0-100% charge, or is it based on 98%-8%?
@@jeremychristensen2875 Not sure on the GT probibly 100-0, I can say there are many road tests conforming this is a conservative number.
I disagree with your charging opinions. Electric cars are much better to refuel then gas cars when you can charge at home, because I am able to refuel in the driveway and it takes 5 seconds to plug in my car not 5 minutes to refill it and possibly smell like gas afterwards. In two and a half years I've only DC fast charged my car three to five times for real (DC charged more than that but it was playing around not because I had to) you're acting like people are going to be DC fast charging daily. That's not the case. Home charging only 90-95% or more of the time
Edit: I paused the video when I heard you say all that now I'm hearing what you said about home charging I'm less triggered now :)
Do we really have to continue this tired 'is it really a Mustang' rhetoric?
I know. I'm sick of it. It has no relevance on how the car drives or performs. Get over it!
@@M-.-Jones Ford called it a Mustang. If you want it called something else, your path is simple: get voting access to enough Ford shares to turn over its management.
Simple. Should only take a few billion $.
100% agree. No idea why anyone would care about the name. If you really have a big issue with the name you need to realign your life priorities.
@@brianprice1531 Because old people take Pride in vehicles especially here in the States it's a cultural thing. They grew up with what they know to love and to see the name of the vehicle that has History to them only to be something not remotely close hurts their feelings. I am understanding now their feelings as I have read quite a bit of comments but what many of them have to face is as time goes by the Mustang will die. U.S. sales of the Mustang have been dropping year by year, it's just a matter of time until its discontinuation. The truth hurts but that is why they are facts and Ford had to do what they did to keep the name alive with something new for the next Generation.
Almost ways the content you guys make is excellent. This was a very rare exception. I like seeing Nathan and Roman do videos together but this was not a great video. Too many complaints about nothing. You guys lacked objectivity. Keep in mind the younger generations will be buying EVs and this is the tech we have available. Perhaps Tommy might have been better suited to do this type of review. The complains about the door handles and the infotainment to me it seemed like like you guys were nitpicking without cause.
Completely agree. I found Roman really off putting… this is a terribly presented review.
I have tried all the various door handles on all other EV’s and kept coming back to the Mach E handles being the best…just my opinion.
@@brianprice1531 Agree 💯. Functionally it's a very good design, and has certain advantages against the common "aero" designs such as not being subject to issues with icing. If you don't like it, I strongly suspect it's because you are just a traditionalist who just doesn't like things that are different and new because they are different and new.
Yeah, felt like Roman just wanted to shirt on the car.
Mustang was an intelligent move by Ford to make their EV relevant. And it does look like a Mustang. Especially from the rear. You cant say that looks more like a Ford Fusion lol
I think it was really smart by Ford, and they hit it out of the ballpark with this car. Its like what Hyundai did with the Genesis, which they then turned it into a brand.
Photo shop a Focus profile against the Mach e. It is not a Mustang.
@@richardwray7619 to me it looks more like a Mustang than, say, a Fox body. But then I guess there are certain Mustang purists who don't really think Fox bodies are really Mustangs either lol.
The last Ford Fusions design language was inspired by the s550 mustang, so technically...... It still looks like a Mustang.
I like the name Fusion better. I mean come on, Fusion for a name for an electric car is awesome! Just like you said, it does look like a fusion.
We are just lucky they didn’t name it, “Horse” or “Fast Horse” or “Pony Goat III EV Super Lizard 5.0”.
Fusion would've worked.
Don’t be surprised that with the new ford company structure, the fusion name will come back.
Yeah but they already had the Ford Fusion which was a basic 4-door family sedan, it should just be called the Mach E
I read somewhere that Ford already has an EV Fusion in works or it will be the Ford Evo replacing the name so naming the Mach-E as Fusion would not have worked in this case.
guys really????? I watch all your videos and this one was so bad . You guys are so cranky about this car . It’s a great car really
The general theme of this review seemed to be change is bad, and get off my lawn. Complaining about door handles, charging curves, adding dials for infotainment etc etc..
Is it just the tone of their criticism that causes you to say that? Because let's face it, there are some aspects in the car world of design and/or implementation that are poorly conceived and/or executed that deserve to be called out.
@@anthonyc1883 I think the tone, coupled with the general dismissal of things is what made me feel this way. Pointing out flaws is cool, just the way it was done lacked tack.
@@sparkfire1223 Understood.
I think you're spot-on with the lease it. Get it for a few years and enjoy the performance then trade it in for the Mach-E gen 2, or some other shiny, then hopefully by then the charging infrastructure will be better to own one
Charging infrastructure isn't an issue because 99% of charging is done at home. The issue is all these EVs are 10-15k more expensive than they should be. Price is the issue.
So what you are saying is that every new car you had that did not have the big screen you know how every button worked and where it was. Good to know.
TFL needs a new channel featuring exclusively Roman reviewing new car tech. Call it "cranky old man car reviews." Love TFL, but man with every passing year Roman becomes more and more of a luddite and curmudgeon. Reminds me of talking to my grandpa about anything that was invented after 1980 :p
Roman says tech for the sake of tech is just silly. Please knock it off with the ageism. Just because it’s new does not make it automatically better. For example the latest iPhone is just a more expensive copy of the last 10 gens.
@@TFLEV I’m over 40 myself. No ageism here. I’m just ribbing you guys and love your channels. I have heard Tommy tell Roman the same things!
Mustang taillights were not sequential since the 60's, but they had the tri bar taillights since the 60's. The doors are aerodynamic and they did study's and found that the rear handle was not being used by most people, so they deleted it.
You must not have had a choice about the car you were given to review. The GT Performance Edition should have been the GT, which would have given them a way to create a higher trim level that had more performance for those that think that autocross, tracking, and quarter-mile times are the most awesome things. This model has the ugly rims, doesn't have the panoramic roof for more headroom and perceived interior room, isn't a PE so it doesn't have Magneride shocks for a better ride, and sits lower than the Premium so there's less ground clearance and a lower seating position (which is often why people buy SUV's and crossovers). There's very little reason to choose the GT over the Premium or the GT-PE. You literally picked the worst model in the lineup!
Your complaints about the name are old. Give it a rest. It wasn't all that clever when it started, and here we are years later, and it just makes you look foolish and biased.
Given the large block of time you spent complaining about tuning Sirius XM stations, you could at least have shown if/how the voice activation could have tuned your beloved Chill channel vs. hand-tuning it. I've never paid for Sirius XM because it's not worth anything per month, much less the prices they want for it, so I can't feel your pain, but watching you grouse about tuning to a radio station was painful enough.
There are plenty of things to push Ford on to improve in the Mustang Mach-E. Unfortunately, you spent so much time on insignificant things that you must not have had enough time to compile useful criticism that would help Ford improve and help your viewers decide for themselves whether or not this was worth checking out. A disservice all around. Please stop the griping, though, it's painful to watch. I won't stick around for it, and you've gotta wonder how your analytics might do without it.
We have a 2021ME and had loads of problems with the car mainly charge cable freeze in the car, charge door freezing. Had to use a hair dryer for 20 minutes to defrost. We have a 2013MS with 115k miles and never had a situation like this.....
Great audition for Grumpy Old Men, the next generation.
I haven’t seen you 2 work together in a while. I miss it! Thanks for the review.
the divider thing in the frunk was removable I believe so it wouldn't prevent anyone from getting in.
Thanks for the addendum that for most everyday use you charge AT HOME and NEVER have to go to a fuel station.
I don't know anyone who has an EV who relies predominantly on public charging. And I'd say, frankly, if your use case involves the need for significant public charging then it's probably not yet time for you to get an EV.
I dunno. It's like people are so hidebound in their ways they can't get off the service station paradigm. I thought Toyota's recent patent for a non-functional 'gearshift' for EVs was one of the most inane ideas I'd seen recently but it might actually appeal to guys like those two. Toyota might be onto something.
I agree with Nathan on the name. It should’ve just been “Mach E”. And I also agree with Roman’s rant. For us charging at home would be the only way to go.
Yeah putting “mustang” on this was a mistake. Similar to the “bronco” sport, which isn’t anything but a marketing ploy to sell more of their smaller suvs. Nice cars, but they aren’t legacies like their names would otherwise have you believe.
Does the button to open the door work when it's freezing outside? Like freezing rain or snowing?
just remote pre-heat the cabin before? it's not 1980 anymore
Nathan and a buddy review. Now that is a win win.
The only thing holding me back is the infrastructure of electric charging and the price of ev's. Hopefully over time they'll be cheaper. Nice product 👌
Nice car and I’m glad they’ve kept the Start / Stop button 👍🏻
This in the UK will be about the same price as a fully loaded 2022 facelifted Jag I-Pace , so I’d go for that instead 🚙
I agree about the charging at home, get a few solar panels or wind turbine and a few storage batteries and you’re laughing, especially the way fuel prices are rising !!!
You guys are way too emotional about a word for Horse.
How is that a 22 model? That car has blue cruise 2.0 without the glass roof? I ordered one earlier this year and the blue/360 camera automatically puts the glass roof on.
He said it's available, and it is, but you are correct: if this is a 2022 GT, if there's no pano roof, it cannot be specced with the 360-degree cameras and BlueCruise. (Pissed me off when I ordered mine, since I'd wanted the cameras and BlueCruise but would have preferred to skip the pano roof.)
@@JonathanEzor I'm with ya. I mainly wanted 360 camera but careless about the glass roof.
The Snarf's test is back! I thought that went away years ago, lol
Ford did a brilliant job keeping the Mustang name alive making a raised up version of the Mustang. It still needs work but has potential, Ford could really fix the hood to make it look like a Mustang, the door "handles" need to go so it has proper door handles at least to look like a 2-door, and the rear tail lights could be pushed out a bit more which could give it a bit more cargo volume. A decent vehicle and it does anger The Mustang fans but Ford has to do what they gotta do to make money it's the beauty of Capitalism in our country. They can afford to lose Mustang fans while they recruit new ones.
Roman is the wooooorst for these. What’s with all the charging FUD? Someone who can afford this will have a place to charge at home. “People are getting turned off because it’s so confusing” and you’re purposely trying to muddy the waters.
7:38 there is no lvl 3. its dcfc.
Can’t wait to see a comparison video of the Mach E and the Lightning. Best bang for your buck which one to get.
Old men yell at clouds: the youtube video
why electric car charging stations dont have a roof like gas stations do if they're so weather sensitive?
Roman is spot on to rant about the sad sad state of the charging situation.
Fast charging definitely could be better, and looking forward to improvements… but honestly how often are you driving more than 200-250 miles in a day where you’ll need to fast charge?
Romans comparison of going to a gas station vs charging an EV…. Really misleading. EVs are charged at home. Charging on a road trip is uneven but it’s typically 10-30 minutes… a 500 mile day is one or two stops.
It is funny that Nathan likes hair Nation when he doesn't have any
A friend just found out that the 'Mustang' Mach-E was being made . . . he came unglued. I don't care much myself, actually
I find it a little amusing.
$64,000 for a compact hatchback, basically.
Its fast, but not pretty or practical. Consider it a sports car.
@@krane15 Its pretty practical. I have 2 kids and it has more than enough room for sitting and luggage if the need for a vacation arises. Not pretty, is your opinion and subjective. Its a great looking car, way better than the tesla hands down. hell, better looking than most SUV's out there.
I've seen one of these in the wild and it looks much better in person.
I couldn’t even get past 5 minutes of this video bc you guys complained about every single thing. It was literally unreal. Maybe you all should’ve left this car out of your review bc it was grossly critical.
4.71 seconds to 0-60 in the Mach E GT? Yeah, there were 3 people (2 of them quite large) and around 66% battery, but doesn't the regular Kia EV6 GT do around the same? They also didn't mention that the Mach E GT only gives 5 seconds of max power...
For the good of the EV channel pls keep Roman occupied elsewhere…. I fully expect him to start yelling “hey get off of my lawn!” Sheesh
Agreed, you could tell he had a chip on his shoulder
Roman rant. Love it.
Best vehicle on the market right now
Ordinarily it would be a definite Lease from me. However, from a financial standpoint, I say buy. Because, the market is so hot right now that if you get tired of the thing after 6 months to a year, you can just trade it in on something else for top dollar. IF you Lease, you are stuck in a financial bind of paying for it longer than you might want to be. Otherwise, yeah, Lease is usually the way I would go for flipping a NEW vehicle in the short term.
100% agree. These things are getting marked up anywhere from $5k to $15k and with I’m guessing the market will be constrained with supply for quite awhile longer so you should have no problem selling it and getting your money back in the short term….assuming you don’t pay a $15k markup! They have a “Ford Options” financing plan for just for the MachE and Lightning that operates like a lease but you get the full tax credit instead of Ford getting it with a lease.
@@brianprice1531 That puts you and I in the smart/wise category. lol But you know, TFL has admitted many times they are not financial wizards when it comes to the profit of buy and sell of their vehicles. Buy high, sell low and pay for a ton of repairs in-between. lol
The center console it seems their issues are age centered. Like a younger person used to technology would be able to use it a lot faster and easier than them. It is like when my parents called me to show them something on their phone over and over again because they don’t underit
Charging speeds are really a factor if your on a trip, most people charge on lv 2 overnight…… no big deal.
Does that touch door button fumbles when it's wet? Can you guys test them? The touch keypad on my wife's escape didn't work when it rains. Hopefully we don't have to see mach e owners do that dance in the rain 😆
Eventually every Ford is either going to be a Mustang, a Bronco or an F150.
You guys may as well just made it a 30 second video and just say you hate the vehicle 😂😂🤷♂️
Nathan the eel thing is neat, I told my dad who sells for Stellantis group to bring the Viper back Electric and call it the Eel
The Moray!
those new mics get rid of wind buffeting.
I like Roman's rants!
Own one Love it I just run the tires soft
Thanks for the review guys. I think the glass roof option makes a big difference in the feeling of spaciousness inside. I actually am picking up this same model/color in a few weeks but it has the glass roof. Always enjoy watching your videos and glad you now have a dedicated EV channel. Also, the Mach E was named one of the 10 best cars for 2022 by consumer reports and was the top overall electric car.
I'd give up a second or two on 0-60 to add more range or shorter charging times.
They should have called it the Donk-E.
I’m right on the fence for this car. Has anyone used one as a daily for a decent amount of time? Any thoughts?
You guys should only be allowed to drive cars from 70s. Anything else has too many new features for you.
Originally it was supposed to be the next generation of the C-Max but the C-Max name doesn't carry the weight in the US that it does in Europe. If you look at the body shape it's basically just a C-Max with a hastily tacked-on body cladding.
kia and hyunDIE are NOT competition ! lmao
These guys are always complaining about stupid stuff and are completely non techy. Its a compact SUV and updated to compete w/ the Tesla's modern feel. Also, they complain about how easy about getting gas is vs the charging stations, but if your going for an electric car, odds are, your doing it for a few reasons and one is probably your wanting to get away from fossil fuels. So, I could care less about any gas problem, especially the prices.
I just bought the GT and love it. I'm a bigger guy and love the seats and have plenty room at 5' 10" 220 lbs, more than enough room. other adults have also no problem with thhe room in the back and say its roomy.
If you want this, get it, you wont be disappointed. I literally freaked my 8 year old, because I was showing her and my wife the 0-60 and the head pull back is definitely there.
100% Ford Options it (balloon financing with a guaranteed residual) and still claim federal tax credit. Sync 4a criticisms are spot on.
You are spot on…Ford Options the way to go on the MachE.
I clicked because the original duo were in the video. Other hosts are fine, but these 2 are good.
no no no no....that doesnt look like a ford fusion.... i think it has Urus appeal
Yeah, we know they exist. Our dealer has been sitting on the same one for over a year. He can't give it away.
Although not Mustang related Stellantis is building a plant for battery manufacturing in partnership with LG.
CBC news has unofficially confirmed this today.
“The plant will be built by Stellantis and LG Energy Solution, according to Bloomberg, which first reported the news on Friday. A source who later spoke to CBC confirmed the report that a plant is coming. “
The plant will be built in the Windsor Essex region of the province of Ontario, Canada.
nice looking..wish it was electric & gas. is this manufactured in the u.s a. being an American car?
I want to trade my MYP in for this. Just need a charging network. Few more years? Maybe?
depends where you live, most ev's just charge at home
@@tuminatr I have an EV, I charge at home most the time. But I travel with it too and that is when the network matters. Do people buy an EV and don’t go anywhere?
Wow Roman!
I've watched tons of TFL videos. And you came across negatively biased toward this car to me. Makes me wonder if there was something behind the scenes. Maybe just a bad day.
It’s disturbing to see how much time was spent driving and fooling with the tech screen. It’s like texting and driving all over again due to these cars having all these distracting, hard to navigate computers. We need standards for cars or we will suffer from more distracted driver incidents guaranteed.
I'll have to finish watching later, but do they take it for a quarter mile? Seems like Ford doesn't want people to know it's slow
The mustang has looked like a fusion since 2015 though.
Couple of thoughts, batteries are batteries to a certain point- by that I mean as they get closer to a full charge the charge rate has to decrease. I wonder how much of an oversizing game the manufacturers play or should play for a good consumer experience. So if the fast rate is to 80% and the car is rated at 100 kW/hr battery but was actually 125 kW/hr it could have more opportunities to rapid charge to “full” at 100 kW/hr more frequently and possibly keep that rating for longer as the battery ages.
The rear hatch door handle being not an integral piece is likely due to the handle construction. I’m guessing there’s a metal hoop connected to the hatch and shrouded with plastic half shells to keep the material similar in color, texture..so some gorilla doesn’t yank it from its moorings by doing gorilla type tricks like ratchet strapping the gate down on something large purchased at the big DIY box stores. 😂
The 2022 Gt 240v DC. Very catchy.
I love my Mustang Mach E GTPE!
Sounds like most of your issues are with the wrong options! No Glass roof or magna ride! And old man issues!
Can I just say I hate how new cars seem to no longer include even a space saver spare wheel. I think every car should have that. A flat can leave you stranded and needing an expensive tow without one.
And, in a potentially dangerous situation, too. My wife suffered a flat tire, unrepairable with the miserable inflation/tire goop kit provided by Toyota in the trunk and the dealership wouldn't even sell me a donut spare because her car wasn't equipped with one from the factory.
Most vehicles like these come with run flats, they are terribly expensive tires but have saved me when I got a flat. I was able to drive on a flat tire to the nearest tire shop when I hit a curb with my hybrid. I think run flats can go about 50 miles as long as the speed is relatively low. I just paid $1200 for brand new tires but they lasted me almost 3 years so it's not too bad.
I have a problem as well, Nathan, of it being called a Mustang.
This is giving me old man yells at cloud vibes.
Title should be “Two old guys roast Fords new EV!”😂😂😂 Just kidding you both had very excellent points that I mostly agree with. Feels Ford tried too hard on this.
You couldn't pay me to own a small electric vehicle. I need a full size electric Suv or truck. Or else I'm sticking to gas combustion

Statler and Waldorf review a Mach E 😂
They tested the rear “door handles” and less than 5% of kids actually used the door handles. Front doors less than 30% of adults used the door handles.
Sounds like most kids and adults need to learn to treat their cars better. Use the handle! It's not hard.
Should be called Boomer Reviews
Rough ride, claustrophobic back seats, complaints about the touch screen, doesn't sound appealing.
"It's still a pain in the @$$ compared to an ICE car." And I thought Roman was going to say Tesla instead.
I like Ford's method of opening the door more than my Model 3. The model 3/Y is almost impossible if your hands are full. At least with this, you only need a finger free. I carry a lot of tools and things for work and it's annoying to have to put stuff down first.
Of course just a regular handle that you pull would be best, I'm sure they could think of a way to make the aero negligible on one.
The Model S method would be OK if it was reliable.
Agree. Electromechanical complication aside, it's a very good door opening mechanism once you get used to it. I think there's an argument to be made that it's unnecessarily complex, but I think it's less inherently subject to problems with icing over than designs that recede flush into the door. And I also think a lot of people just dislike it because it's different.
Ford calling this a Mustang will go down as the greatest marketing strategy of all time. Think about it...
If this thing was just called a Mach-E, or anything else (besides a GT40 spin off), it would've been an instant flop. No one would care for it, talk about it, and people would have little to talk about.
With the Mustang badge, the controversy is helping get FAR MORE eyes on it, resulting in more sales than they ever would've had otherwise.
All press negative or positive is still press.
But ford calls it a frunk on the lighting? "Mega Power Frunk" ? maybe they changed their mind on the terminology
I foresee the electronic door releases breaking and then you cant get in the car
My Dad said the same thing about power windows in1967.
I am the same height as Roman and I had a hell of a time getting in the back of the Mach-E, and the visibility was terrible. In the driver seat my knee hit the corner of the screen that they installed the wrong way.
If Ford don’t “reinvent” the wheel (like GM tried with the last/current interior on their pickups) they get crucified by all the unreasonable expectations that drive prices sooo far up!!! We are our own worst enemies!!
It’s interesting we are seeing a full 180 from Roman from when he was in love with the Teslas,,,,. He is almost anti-electric (EV) and is this to appease the high number of ICE vehicle fans still?? Is it his real opinion? Who knows anymore. To each their own. I tend to agree somewhat with most of what was said.
The name,,,,,,,, “Mustang” get over it. The complaining has been beat to death and Ford hasn’t changed it yet!! I’m sure it WILL change when they decide to electrify the actual Mustang. The Porsche naming regarding the Turbo. I trashed that idea and was criticized by TFL for my opinion!! It was just accepted and I was basically told to get over it,,, hahaha. Hypocrisy. We are all guilty of it. I am as guilty as the next guy, I agree, but I’m not a series of extremely public CZcams channels!! Hahaha.
This is a pretty interesting vehicle, but I think it’s a bit of a mistake by Ford. The other versions of the Mach E are fine, but this GT is a bit of a swing and a miss,,,,, it needs to have better attention to detail as Roman has pointed out. I definitely agree with that. The interior room?? I’m fine!! Hahah I’m 5’8” tall!! I don’t know what they are talking about!!! Hahaha.
The screen,,,, Roman thought it was great in the Tesla when it was trendy for him,,,, I think it was crap back then as well!! The move to big screens is highly distracting,,,,, it’s a danger that the manufacturers may switch from after someone has an accident where they can prove the design was the problem in the accident vs driver error. One ruling against one manufacturer and they all will change out of fear!
Oh well. I would not buy this. We had a Jaguar I-Pace and love it kinda. Drive etc fantastic, range anxiety, charging,,, ughhh. Now my wife has a Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe and loves it!! She is always around 69-72% electric use only. That’s awesome and we live about 5 miles from the nearest town. The performance in hybrid mode,,,,,, hell yeah!! Is so very close to the 392 Wrangler V8,,,,, nice!
She is getting a Grand Cherokee 4xe and I’m keeping the Wrangler. I have installed the lift kit and tires/rims already! She wasn’t happy,,, but is now ok with it as she likes the look so much. She is 5’ tall only so getting in or out sucks,,,,,.
🌟🇺🇸⭐ love my new Hyundai ioniq 5!
