**Hello all!** First disclaimer: when the rear door bumps out, it can't go back in unless it is moved. But as you can see at 5:30 in the video, if you do move it out of that bumped position, it can now go back to closing. To me, this leaves the possibility of pinched fingers. Door handles eliminate that, which IMO is worth the tiny sacrifice in drag. Why do the front doors get handles but the rears don't, if handles aren't useful? Your opinion may differ! That's fine too! Next week I'll have a comparison of this Mach-E vs my Model 3, and include differences vs Model Y, and that will also include a driving portion of the Mach-E. Happy New Year everyone!
I think I saw a review where the front doors have that bump lock out feature also, but yes, that's a recall waiting to happen especially considering kids are going to be using those rear seats.
According to Ford they asked parents and kids to open the back doors with door handles and exactly zero kids used the door handle and 90% of adults did the same. That’s why on the inside of the door there is a rubber pad for your fingers.
I thought that you did an awesome review and the picture and the sound were great! Thank you so much for your unbiased quick review. I own a Tesla Model 3 and I would be proud to make this my second electric car. Second until something better than Tesla’s charging network is bested.
I guess you've seen that Tesla is letting you choose your outside the car sound. I like the coconuts myself. But I have a 2018 Model 3. I'll have to get it retrofitted in order to get sound.

I'm convinced that the door keypad is the most underrated feature in the car industry. Never have to carry your keys in your pocket, a safe place to leave your phone/wallet etc etc. Every single car should have it
Until someone steal the items inside because you left greasy fingerprints on a door frame that’s otherwise clean. (Talking from experience lol) It’s pretty easy to guess these pins with only 5 combinations on 5 buttons, the trick is to smudge your finger on other digits whenever you can, or always keep it clean.

Yeah.. I just call it "ford Mach-E.. its not a mustang. Now in the future when they get smart and put this same set up into an actual "Mustang body--- Then I'll call it a mustang.
I finally received mine last week. Since I have had it, people come up and say, "is that a Mustang?" No one so far has said, "it's not a Mustang". There are a lot of people who don't watch car reviews on CZcams, so people are seeing the Mach-E for the first time since it is so new. People have literally stopped their car, roll down their windows and examine the car. Regardless of what it's called, Ford did a great job with this car, and I do believe it is a true Mustang.
I wish it was a low car and made it look more rocking. right now it looks like ford is playing safe with it. The sport car and suv is now getting an even blurrier line.

I think the customer could be able to upload a .mp3 for their personalized sounds to "enhance the experience". Perhaps honking geese or galloping horses or maybe a farting sound. The sky is the limit.
Standard files wouldn’t work anyway, at least if you want throttle and gear changing style noises Then you need to be able to adjust the tone on the fly
Love the direct filming & talking style, much time saved for you and it really seams you even can focus more on your stream of thought instead of caring about correctly setting up camera angles.
I like on the “tablet” center console that the essential “buttons” aren’t buried in sub menus. I recently rode in a Grand Cherokee and to adjust things like temperature you had to click thru other menus to get to it and then if you wanted to switch back to things like infotainment, you had to go back thru it. I HATE that. I want there to be as little fidgeting around as possible. I actually might prefer the non touch screen, control with a small dial control in a super convenient spot like right by the center console armrest. I still prefer all the tactile buttons, knobs, dials over touch screen, but keeping those essentials always there is a good step for me.
Not having buttons and dials for basic functions should be illegal. Once you know where the controls are then your eyes don't need to leave the road to change songs, volume, radio station, etc.
A guy named Jim Farley was asked by the CEO of Ford (Jim Hackett) to get directly involved in the design process and re-imagine what, at the time, was just another drab, compliance BEV (battery electric vehicle) with little personality or spirit. Farley pushed to re-design that drab compliance vehicle and fold it into the fabled Mustang line-up. Oh, and he was recently promoted to CEO. ;)
In case you didn't notice, its like the only car that exists anymore; its all anyone is building these days, other than trucks. I mean, even porsche, lambo and even ferrari have built them---- plus look at the jeep trackhawk, trail blazer, explorer, durango, Acura MDX, Rave4, Honda CRV, cadillar xt4, Audi q5, BMW x3, Lexus NX, Volvo XC60, Kia sportage, nissian rogue, Telsa model Y, and on and on and on... they are all basically the same car, its crazy, but that is just what people are buying.
I have a 2018 type r and the touch screen lcd is so trash... music air conditioning everything has to be done through the same unresponsive screen. It takes like three seconds just to register your touch
It seems pretty lazy to me. I can't imagine the designers spent more than 3 seconds deciding to glue an iPad on a blank dashboard, especially since that's what most other EVs do with their interiors as well. Hard to get passionate about EVs when even their designers clearly don't care.
Great video, Jason. I actually like this slightly rougher more organic style above the more polished videos. For some reason - maybe your need for speed, maybe you really were excited about the car - but this video really conveyed your enthusiasm and energy, moreso than other videos. Looking forward to seeing your impressions on how this drives. All the best to you and all of your fellow fans of what you do.
The door handles look totally inadequate for anyone wearing gloves in the winter. A smooth appearance isn't worth much if a person is constantly fumbling with the damn thing and swearing at it just to get in.
@@truantray For Canadian workaholics when you think about going home from work but a sheet of ice formed over your car in the parking lot and you get stuck at work
Which brings up the ridiculousness of needing buttons to get in when we all have a phone. The excuse that you can go to the beach and leave your phone in the car is silly. No one goes to the beach and leaves their phone in the car! If I wanted to do that I would just bring my Tesla key card - it's waterproof, sandproof and totally flat.
I know right, why didn't they call it the Thunderbird or Cougar, this new generation of soccer mom would have been all over it, okay maybe not the Cougar name, because reasons, but you get the point!
But it does have the "you will quickly drown in this car if you enter the water" as nothing will work, including the windows, doors, and you will be unable to find your handy escape tool in the 90 seconds you have to safely get out...
Its what they should have done. The mustang purists wont buy it. Teslas suv is better so people who want an electric car will more likely go with that. Im not sure who they made the mach-e for?
@@tyler60904 ford isn't even looking at the purist as their buyer, and its their first try on making an electric car. Even if it is worst than the model y, some people might still prefer the design and the uniqueness of the Ford. Take the taycan for example, its worst than the competition which is the model s, but it's still selling. Also more option is better as it pushes manufacturers to push their technology to the max.
@@Keoponloeu ford has a pretty long history working with electric cars, they just never made one people wanted or one that could replace gas cars. People who like mustang dont consider this a mustang. You dont think suv when saying mustang. I understand why they did it this way. Mustangs are small and light, so ford cant use a battery thats small enough or has enough range, since they dont make proprietary batteries. Thats why they went suv instead, but then people will think they are ripping off the mustang name, cuz they are. Its just not a mustang. Competition is good i agree. But they should have started with their trucks and suv's
I want you to be able to pick what pedestrians hear when you go by. I think it would be great to sound like Marvin the Martians spaceship as you go around a corner!
They could have named it anything else--anything at all--and I would have welcomed it. Diluting the Mustang name to market a product so alien to the badge pisses me off to the point I will never buy it.
@@NeoHCgbz Honesty and integrity? The marketing was the same, the end goal is to sell a product. I don’t think anything about the 1960’s screams honesty and integrity. Look up the marketing of backyard swimming pools to see honesty and integrity. They rose in popularity as a consequence of desegregation, because whites didn’t want to share public pools with blacks. Integrity in marketing GTFO!
Filming quality was great 👍. Definitely wouldn’t mind if you had more vids done in this style. The content and your insight is what I watch your videos for. Great work
The keypad is pretty clutch. I have it on my 2018 Fusion and it’s one of the best features on any Ford. I totally second your opinion it should be on every car. I ordered a Tesla M3 about a month ago and I know I’ll miss that feature.
There Will probably be perfect speaker imitation sounds available then. You know like sport cars already do to some point because of co2 regulations forcing manufacturers to use less cylinders.

Wow truly very cool review.. also like your style of recording made me felt as if I was right there with you lol .. BTW ground clearance is 5.8” no? Also the rear door has a special area to open it .. it’s at the middle end of the door .. you had your hands too high and it also have a stopper too ..
Great review of an interesting new vehicle. Having worked in the fuel ethanol production industry for a portion of my career, I always got the "it takes more energy to make than it gives" argument (which is far from true) back in the day. I always said "we've had about 20 years to optimize our process while the oil guys have had 150. We've made tremendous process optimizations of the ethanol process and the car people are doing the same in that there's now an arms race of sort to get these e-cars sorted. On a separate note, my eyes kept coming back to the wide flange beam in the garage with no fire protection, either spray on or 2x's, on it.
The quality lies not in HOW you are filming the informational video, but WHAT you are filming. You did great as always man, and this video was no exception. Loved the style.
I like these kinds of videos. The camera stability is great and it brings your own personal touch. Audio is great too. But there's a lack of overall interior view of the car. Would love to see more of these type of videos.
@@tylerpubben4216 Volvo did the same. They introduced the new models in the autumn, and named them +1 year model. Which made sense because by the time first buyers got their vehicle, it was actually +1 year january.
I had a 2016 5.0 convertible and my new model y would blow the doors off it. In the summer I'll miss the convertible I'm sure but so far really liking my Tesla. I'm on my way to the ski hill right now posting a message with auto steer on in my AWD rocket that I can enjoy year round. Just one opinion.
An electric mustang wouldn't have been that bad, but this Ford using the mustang name to sell an electric brick. It's an SUV grocery getter for people with lots of money and little taste, in all seriousness Ford will sell tons of these simply because these are the times we live in.
The filming style is fine for good quick info as long as you don't start doing too much of them. We like your in-depth whiteboard videos as well as your driving review videos. A nice balance of all the different styles of videos you've done is my recommendation. That keeps it from seeming like the same old thing on every video. Plus keep up the teaching and learning part of it.

They call it a mustang because it isn’t a Ford Edge....very simple to understand isn’t it.
@@allan4923 it's not a mustang either
The entry keypad is lowkey the best feature on any new Ford.
@@killdizzle wow, such hate, chillax dude.
Use my keypad all the time.
I like on the “tablet” center console that the essential “buttons” aren’t buried in sub menus. I recently rode in a Grand Cherokee and to adjust things like temperature you had to click thru other menus to get to it and then if you wanted to switch back to things like infotainment, you had to go back thru it. I HATE that. I want there to be as little fidgeting around as possible. I actually might prefer the non touch screen, control with a small dial control in a super convenient spot like right by the center console armrest. I still prefer all the tactile buttons, knobs, dials over touch screen, but keeping those essentials always there is a good step for me.
Yes, this is the thing we hate most about our Chrysler which probably has the same infotainment system (U connect).
Not having buttons and dials for basic functions should be illegal. Once you know where the controls are then your eyes don't need to leave the road to change songs, volume, radio station, etc.
@@xidarian The car can change channels, songs etc. using the Synch button.
Mustang??? This is a big all electric Focus...
The current Chevy Blazer is more similar to a Camaro than this "Mustang" is to a real Mustang.
I like the car...I just protest the electric wagon being a Mustang. I know Ford hates cars at this point but just call it the Mach-E
Blah blah get over it boomer lol
As far as 'filming in this style' - I didn't even notice until you mentioned it.
I think with everyone's short attention spans in this brave new world, the changing angle helps us focus.
I want TIE fighter noises in electric cars
Looking at Ford hybrids, this one might explode like a TIE fighter too
you can in a Tesla. :D
Luke's Landspeeder noises
My thought exactly.
Could put in the sound of the Jetsons vehicles
I wonder who at ford responded with "four door crossover" when asked for mustang ideas...
A guy named Jim Farley was asked by the CEO of Ford (Jim Hackett) to get directly involved in the design process and re-imagine what, at the time, was just another drab, compliance BEV (battery electric vehicle) with little personality or spirit. Farley pushed to re-design that drab compliance vehicle and fold it into the fabled Mustang line-up. Oh, and he was recently promoted to CEO. ;)
@@samuelwilliams8560 sad decisions...
Mainly because Ford aren't selling cars anymore
In case you didn't notice, its like the only car that exists anymore; its all anyone is building these days, other than trucks. I mean, even porsche, lambo and even ferrari have built them---- plus look at the jeep trackhawk, trail blazer, explorer, durango, Acura MDX, Rave4, Honda CRV, cadillar xt4, Audi q5, BMW x3, Lexus NX, Volvo XC60, Kia sportage, nissian rogue, Telsa model Y, and on and on and on... they are all basically the same car, its crazy, but that is just what people are buying.
My question exactly
Still don't think a touchscreen dash is an "upgrade."
I have a 2018 type r and the touch screen lcd is so trash... music air conditioning everything has to be done through the same unresponsive screen. It takes like three seconds just to register your touch
It seems pretty lazy to me. I can't imagine the designers spent more than 3 seconds deciding to glue an iPad on a blank dashboard, especially since that's what most other EVs do with their interiors as well.
Hard to get passionate about EVs when even their designers clearly don't care.
At least there is an independent speedo. I really don't like the Tesla 3 setup.
Great video, Jason. I actually like this slightly rougher more organic style above the more polished videos. For some reason - maybe your need for speed, maybe you really were excited about the car - but this video really conveyed your enthusiasm and energy, moreso than other videos.
Looking forward to seeing your impressions on how this drives.
All the best to you and all of your fellow fans of what you do.
For Canadian winters when ice sheets cover your entire doors, there is no way to open the rear door from the outside.
Tip: clear the crap out of your garage and put the car there.
The door handles look totally inadequate for anyone wearing gloves in the winter. A smooth appearance isn't worth much if a person is constantly fumbling with the damn thing and swearing at it just to get in.
@@truantray For Canadian workaholics when you think about going home from work but a sheet of ice formed over your car in the parking lot and you get stuck at work
You prewarm the vehicle... should melt off frost and ice from windshield, headlights, wipers and doors/handles
Which brings up the ridiculousness of needing buttons to get in when we all have a phone. The excuse that you can go to the beach and leave your phone in the car is silly. No one goes to the beach and leaves their phone in the car! If I wanted to do that I would just bring my Tesla key card - it's waterproof, sandproof and totally flat.
It looks pretty good, especially in the electric vehicle "segment" but it shouldn't be called a mustang......
Yes. True.
I don't care. You aren't thinking ahead.
Why? In the future electric cars will be the only new ones sold. Already planned in Europe
You are holding the Mustang name far to precious.
I know right, why didn't they call it the Thunderbird or Cougar, this new generation of soccer mom would have been all over it, okay maybe not the Cougar name, because reasons, but you get the point!
They need to make the sound user selectable so we can have jetsons sounds if we want
Its a cool car but its not a Mustang, it should get its own name or call it an Edge Mach E
E-Fusion or Galax-E
It looks like a Mazda
Filming style - definitely ok, especially the image stability!
The exterior keypad is awesome! Love it on my F250
The "Jetson-mobile" sound isn't an option? Bummer!
But it does have the "you will quickly drown in this car if you enter the water" as nothing will work, including the windows, doors, and you will be unable to find your handy escape tool in the 90 seconds you have to safely get out...
Exactly what i was thinking :)
Tie Fighter or X-Wing

Somehow I expected a literal mustangs just electric... this has proven me wrong
Its what they should have done. The mustang purists wont buy it. Teslas suv is better so people who want an electric car will more likely go with that. Im not sure who they made the mach-e for?
@@tyler60904 ford isn't even looking at the purist as their buyer, and its their first try on making an electric car. Even if it is worst than the model y, some people might still prefer the design and the uniqueness of the Ford. Take the taycan for example, its worst than the competition which is the model s, but it's still selling. Also more option is better as it pushes manufacturers to push their technology to the max.
@@Keoponloeu ford has a pretty long history working with electric cars, they just never made one people wanted or one that could replace gas cars. People who like mustang dont consider this a mustang. You dont think suv when saying mustang. I understand why they did it this way. Mustangs are small and light, so ford cant use a battery thats small enough or has enough range, since they dont make proprietary batteries. Thats why they went suv instead, but then people will think they are ripping off the mustang name, cuz they are. Its just not a mustang. Competition is good i agree. But they should have started with their trucks and suv's
@@tyler60904 but like is anyone that isn’t a car enthusiast gunna care if it’s a mustang or not.....no I don’t think.
@@Keoponloeu im not saying it wont sell, im saying it would be better if they went the other direction instead.
I want you to be able to pick what pedestrians hear when you go by. I think it would be great to sound like Marvin the Martians spaceship as you go around a corner!
I liked the way this was filmed, excellent presentation, good flow, and lots of great information.
Mustang is clearly just a name now. It looks like a Kia SUV.
They could have named it anything else--anything at all--and I would have welcomed it. Diluting the Mustang name to market a product so alien to the badge pisses me off to the point I will never buy it.

@@NeoHCgbz Honesty and integrity? The marketing was the same, the end goal is to sell a product. I don’t think anything about the 1960’s screams honesty and integrity. Look up the marketing of backyard swimming pools to see honesty and integrity. They rose in popularity as a consequence of desegregation, because whites didn’t want to share public pools with blacks. Integrity in marketing GTFO!
The 5-1/2” ground clearance will prevent thieves from getting at the Catalytic Converter😉
Bwaaaahahahahaha. Good one.
True, but watch out getting a hole in the gas tank
The keypad is the best, I have it in my F-150
style of the video is fine, video substance was good. you talked about tires, the world is right.
The rear door has a padded spot to grab open it about 8" lower than where you grabbed it, slightly more comfortable
Thanks for pointing this out!
Here's why I love the internet :-).
Filming quality was great 👍. Definitely wouldn’t mind if you had more vids done in this style. The content and your insight is what I watch your videos for. Great work
The frunk has those compartments so that they don't have to install a release from the inside, something something hostages.
But they did install a release on the inside.
Yeah it's mandatory, no matter how big the trunk is... Look at the Ford GT supercar "trunk"
The release is electric. When someone is inside and the battery fails , one cant get out !
@@xaty1808 normally the releases have some kind of lever
I thought the fake compartments was a loophole to avoid the interior release. That's what it usually is
I use my Ford keypad all the time. I love that Ford does that
The keypad is pretty clutch. I have it on my 2018 Fusion and it’s one of the best features on any Ford. I totally second your opinion it should be on every car. I ordered a Tesla M3 about a month ago and I know I’ll miss that feature.

Tbh the Mach E should have been called a thunderbird
Absolutely love the keypads.
@@QuickQuips Honestly, that would have been a much better way to market it than borrowing the Mustang name which makes zero sense.
Nissan used to have them, as one example.

The filming quality was great! Save yourself the time and enjoy it!
Cool, but I don't get why they're using the Mustang name with a four door vehicle like this
Because they are about to go out of business. This mustang, is a death cry.
Filming in this style is perfectly fine.🙂👍 Keep up the great work
Speaking of temperature, it takes a lot of energy to heat up a compartment so I suppose the mile range will shorten to half on a winter’s day depending on your travel.

The Mach-E is to the Ford Mustang what the Last Jedi/Rise of Skywalker is to Star Wars.
accurate. It's the difference between TLJ/ROS Luke Skywalker vs Expanded Universe Luke Skywalker.
It’s not a Mustang. The end.
It is a Mustang, unfortunately. But that's the problem.
Wow truly very cool review.. also like your style of recording made me felt as if I was right there with you lol ..
BTW ground clearance is 5.8” no? Also the rear door has a special area to open it .. it’s at the middle end of the door .. you had your hands too high and it also have a stopper too ..
Great review of an interesting new vehicle. Having worked in the fuel ethanol production industry for a portion of my career, I always got the "it takes more energy to make than it gives" argument (which is far from true) back in the day. I always said "we've had about 20 years to optimize our process while the oil guys have had 150. We've made tremendous process optimizations of the ethanol process and the car people are doing the same in that there's now an arms race of sort to get these e-cars sorted.
On a separate note, my eyes kept coming back to the wide flange beam in the garage with no fire protection, either spray on or 2x's, on it.
The 2021 Sienna has 6.2" of ground clearance and AWD. It's more SUV than the Mach-E.

I like these kinds of videos. The camera stability is great and it brings your own personal touch. Audio is great too. But there's a lack of overall interior view of the car. Would love to see more of these type of videos.

I literally love this channel ! You’re one of the best on CZcams my dude !!!
As someone who prefers station wagons to crossovers, I appreciate the lack of ground clearance. I'd much rather have a sportswagon than a "cute ute".
It just needs one more touch....paneling and crown moulding... the nice wide creamy colored trim.
If I see it in front of you in 2020, its 2020 model, change my mind.

An electric mustang
That is a SIN
Lord have mercy.
I had a 2016 5.0 convertible and my new model y would blow the doors off it. In the summer I'll miss the convertible I'm sure but so far really liking my Tesla. I'm on my way to the ski hill right now posting a message with auto steer on in my AWD rocket that I can enjoy year round. Just one opinion.
I think it being a SUV/crossover is the bigger sin.
An electric mustang wouldn't have been that bad, but this Ford using the mustang name to sell an electric brick. It's an SUV grocery getter for people with lots of money and little taste, in all seriousness Ford will sell tons of these simply because these are the times we live in.
The filming style is fine for good quick info as long as you don't start doing too much of them. We like your in-depth whiteboard videos as well as your driving review videos. A nice balance of all the different styles of videos you've done is my recommendation. That keeps it from seeming like the same old thing on every video. Plus keep up the teaching and learning part of it.
The new recording style looks fantastic with audible and clear sound
