I love that when Jay said he doesn’t like fake engine noises that electric vehicles make, the guy went right to the screen to turn off “propulsion sounds” 🤣🤣
Saw that too
I'm glad he said it. Now companies will think twice about adding it. Jay is a big hitter in the auto world.
I like it alot. Porsche did the sound the right way in tycan.
It's entirely optional and easy to switch that's the good part.
Ford does this on the V6 Raptor. Fake exhaust sounds through the speakers.
I love that Jay has not lost his sense of reality that most us common people that watch these videos weekly have. Point being just the simple things Jay brings up about something costing $200. To most working class people that’s an expense we wouldn’t want. Jay still understands that even though he obviously isn’t poor by any means lol. Thank you Jay for bringing these videos to us. I have been watching them for years and love them!
Jay is my template for honesty.
Nice engines to show off. No thanks. Pieces of Sht when they need new batteries
In this particular review, he seemed more old fuddy wishing for the old days ,,, side note Ford finally comes out with the performance version and it's horses are half of what they should have been 😑
Me too I love the show
@@DaveyboyJonez don't know about all of them, but tesla's are designed to be million mile cars. Much of them are way overbuilt. Batts are lasting 200,000 and 300,000 miles in them. I've kept a car that long, though I guess some folks do.
My first car was a 67 Mustang. Always liked the Mustang brand, and I don’t car that they added a different model to the Mustang line. I ordered the MME GTPE last year and have been driving it daily since October 2021. It is amazing. The acceleration from the torque still puts a smile on my face every time. The smooth quiet ride and technology make it a great vehicle for commuting. And as Jay said, zero maintenance (other than tires). I never have to stop at a gas station to refuel. I just plug it in in the garage about 2x a week and charge while I sleep. To me it’s a great combination of performance, style, convenience, economy. And for all you gearheads, which I am, I also have a 68 Camaro convertible in the garage, just so you know I’m not an anti-ICE guy.
thank you for giving the mach-e a chance and sharing your good experience with this car. everyone seems to shutting this car out because it’s mustang that’s electric and an suv
So histoically the Mustang is notoriously kind of a crappy built car, how do you feel the Mach e is built on a scale of one to ten?
What the hell is a MMEGTPE........Is that a vitamin or something from the Pharmacy..???....Paul
Great reply! I also own a 2023 Mach E GT PE and I absolutely love it. Love the Horsepower and torque combo.
my 2021 Mach e is such a joy to drive !
I have no problem with a Mustang being electric. My problem is calling a four-door SUV a Mustang.
Absolutely agree
That's what kills it for me. Plus, this thing is too similar to the body Tesla uses and I think we've all seen enough of those.
Well we Mopar guys had to suffer through 4cyl. Mitsus called Challenger and 2.2 Turbos called Charger; (I won't even go into the Volare Road Runner) and then still today an ancient Benz E Class 4 door called a Charger - and you're squawking????? I'd be more pissed this is a Mexican dog if I were you. 🇺🇸
it's their car. they can call it whatever they like. lol
I have a problem with Mustangs being electric. I have issues with EV garbage in general.
The look on the guy's face after Jay says that 27:59 😂😂😂 Then frantically looking through the settings to turn it off.
LOL
I’m glad someone else noticed that lmao the look of sheer panic
impressive how Leno is able to just drill down to the essence of what electrification means for cars
I never thought i would see a hatchback, 4 door, suv, mustang 🤨😵💫🤯
If I bought one of these, the first thing I would do would be to remove the Mustang badges. It is a 5 door crossover. Electric or not, it is not a Mustang. Could have just called it the Mach-E.
lol
Thunderbolt is a better name with Ford heritage.
Says the guy that will never own one.
You do realize dodge darts were 2 door muscle cars then came back as a little 4 banger 4 door coupe with plastic bubbles for fenders? Even with ford. Have you seen what the thunderbird went through? Times change. You can too. Boomer.
@@stgeorge5862 Darts were economy cars. You could get a trim with a decent engine and suspension, but for every 340 GT that was made, they sold 20 slant-sixes and 318s
They should have revived "Thunderbird" for this. Makes too much sense to me.
I actually think that's a good idea!
Ford Maverick is a truck now 😂..
Ford “thunderbolt” would have been nice too
Jay Leno never let’s me down on his humorous uptakes on cars, he’s great 👍
FUD Muck-e is a CLOWN car.
*lets
@@markplott4820 I hate electric cars
@@dujuanjohnson5025 - why ? what did an Electric car do to you , where did it hurt you.
or are you a GAS Snowflake ?
Jay Leno: The Great American Car Story Teller. Thanks for having Dave again.
They should have just called it the Mach E it would have sold just as well . There was no real reason other than marketing to call it a Mustang
Yep, agree. It's outselling the regular Mustang because it's an SUV, not a Mustang. SUVs are WAY more desirable for everyday use and to top it off, because it's electric, it gets a huge write off to boot.
Probably would have sold more
Same thoughts!
@@brandonnixon7105 absolutely they were not SUVs
They should have just called it the Thunderbird... The T-Bird has always changed from a two door convertible to a boat and back again.. Besides, Thunderbird has Thunder in it.. very "Electric" sounding.
I can appreciate the technology. I can appreciate that this is an SUV. An advanced SUV. But it's not a Mustang. It doesn't look like a Mustang. It looks like something a soccer mom might drive. But it doesn't even resemble a Mustang. At least for the most part when changed were made to the Corvette it still resembled a Corvette. Same thing with the dodge charger. It doesn't look like the classic charger. And it's a 4 door! Dame thing with this "Mustang". It's a 4 door SUV.
It just makes Ford look like they were DESPERATE for this car to attract attention, and the only way they could think of was to re-appropriate the name of their 'sportscar'...
Agreed, it's probably a great car, but I just hope this doesn't 'backfire' and end up DILLUTING the Mustang badge?
When you tell people you have a 'Mustang', will they assume you have a 5.0L 2 door sportscar, or think that you own this electric SUV?
@@StreetPreacherr Dude. The only mustang that's faster is the $100,000+ GT500. It's an SUV, but it is NOT slow.
Should have just called it the Mach E… drop mustang. But the name got people talkin
From the front, It resembles a Mustang to me. And if FORD calls it a Mustang, guess what? it's a Mustang!! Get over it, people. it's not that big of a deal.
I would have chosen - Galaxy per Galax-E?
I have 2021 premium awd. Amazing vehicle. Had one issue with parking brake and got fixed within couple of days. Other than that it has been flawless. Still enjoy it as if it’s the first day I got it. Never gets old
Just bought a 2022 mach-e gt, LOVE IT
Really too bad they've stopped providing spare tires. I guess new car owners will have to buy run-flats instead of those sporty things. Jay made a great point about getting a new tire and waiting for three days...
I don’t know how Ford does it. My electric car has roadside assistance. Which means in 30 minutes a guy pulls up with my tire for my car. He puts it on. He takes my wheel to the service center. The next day I go there, and my tire is fixed on my wheel.
@@garywiseman5080 that wouldn't be the case on every road. If you are on a camping trip with no cell phone signal, you are screwed.
We'll just mount them on the "frunk", like an old-school Land Rover. That'll be good for aerodynamics.
I had two flats in one month in my Shelby and I had to wait about 7’days each time to get a replacement tire. I almost thought about buying a spare but it cost like 500 dollars
I remember BMW removing the spare tires from their cars starting way back when and pushing the runflat tires as the answer. Owners hated the early runflats as they were so stiff and harsh riding.
"We got a lot of heat that this was not a Mustang, but that's dying down now." No, you're just ignoring it.
And its tough to ignore "ugly suv-ish".
Well its not like they are going to change the name. People are buying these things up so they have no reason to.
FUGLY.
it has been dying down tbh. i see them in a lot of places, and a lot of people who are mustang owners and enthusiasts while the they don’t love it they’re definitely not as mad as they were.
It's not a mustang. It's a fking abomination. Ford should be completely ashamed of themselves.
Kudos to Dave for being able to call this thing a Mustang that many times with a straight face. He's a real company man through and through.
I will never call it a mustang!!
@KingLouisV Yup, and that's why @1:53 he couldn't even put a number to it - "...now that we've sold, so many of them..." LOL!
I love that Ford is furthering the BEV philosophy even if it's by chasing Tesla taillights down the road, but the goof that authorized naming this thing "Mustang" should never be allowed to brand anything.
I know. Hard to watch. Got to keep the climate grift going.
He deserves a award. He knows how cringe it is to try and call it a mustang.
I have blizzaks for the winter on my GT PE. It's quite the sled! The range definitely suffers but it handles like a dream during Michigan winters!
He sounded so excited when he said "it's illuminated" 🤣
Ford took his soul away with this project.
@@gustavoflorio5383 I don't know about that. He seemed genuinely enthusiastic about it.
@@slargo83 he's paid a lot of money to fake it..
I'm only 40 and im old fashioned in alot of ways. I like a simple car no fancy touch screens no nob to change gears, no back up camera blind spot warning. My blind spot is called paying attention.
I’m the same age, and will take the additional step in saying I prefer a manual transmission.. but I 100% agree with everything you said.. think the sweet spot is about 2008 which is right about when they added the zoomer features
The sweet spot is any 2011-2014 S197. New engines (5.0, 3.7) and 6 speed transmissions, still analog enough to feel old school, but not so much a pain to daily.
"no knob to change gears" you like your gear stick with no knob?
@@krusher74 no electric knob
These two are by far the best combination they both are entertaining and knowledgeable!
Accept the fact they both are lying about talking about a mustang.
Appreciate how Jay was willing to describe things he didn't like, but did it in a kindly manner. E.g., the lack of a spare tire. The need to look down at the gearshift knob (and screen) rather than grabbing a big shifter. The cues to gas powered cars that don't make sense for electric (but are probably needed to coax folks to accept it).
Re: the pointless front grille, one other possibility: the grille has always been a big part of the "face" of a car. Maybe even the most distinctive part. So, what happens if it only has "eyes," no "mouth"? Especially in these days when huge mouths are the fashion. Can they make that look good?
An idea for the frunk: make a gas generator, or extra battery pack, that can drop into that space for long distance driving. True it would add a lot of weight and probably make a mess out of driving dynamics, but might be worth it if it increases range by at least 100 miles.
Lowered 10mm. That’s a whole .39” folks!
Man Dave Pericak just gives me that used car salesman vibe. If he told me water was wet I'd have to think about it before I believed him.
It's because he hates the car but has to feed his children.
I was thinking the same thing!
Yeah, I was about to moan about them having got a marketing guy on to do the show. Then I looked him up and realised he's not the marketing guy.
He gives me the same vibe. I much prefer the way Franz von Holzhausen comes across (shame the wayTesla service is so bad though).
Yes. Every sentence he utters, he’s looking for an opportunity to sell something.
I watched this video when it first came out. At the time, I was looking into replacing an aging Chevy Malibu hybrid after five years, 100,000 miles, and a head gasket leak. I tested the Mach-e, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Tesla Model Y, and VW id.4 electric cars. I chose this one. Though I did not get the GT. Good review. I love Jay Leno's garage. Now need to watch the one with the Corvair again.
Love the casual conversations about these vehicles. Way better than any salesman in the showroom!
Great show! Love Jay’s sense of humor.
Sometimes you get true car guy to represent a car... Sometimes you get a marketing guy...
It’s always the same guy from Ford Jay meets and he’s always on edge to please snd make Ford look good
Yeah Jay, now listen to this Jay...Jay, you gotta see this!
@@superbuddyfranklin ya man won a le mans ,so he is saying smtg luckily.. there guys now driving a Toyota and saying they know the full tech
What's Dave supposed to say? He hates the car but my employer is making me talk it up? Like it or not, this is the direction Ford (and every other manufacturer) is going. They said it at the beginning: the Mach E is outselling the Mustang proper. Keeping the Mustang name alive by making it a sub-brand is a good thing.
@@michaellorenz7177 Nah.. just silly; like the Chinese buying MG, which was a British sports car and calling a cheap Chinese made hatchback an MG.. it's laughable.
Just awesome thanks for the review!!
I love all the automobile history that Jay injects into these conversations. Very informative and entertaining!
We’re going back to the late 70’s when the Mustang II came out, the Mustang V8 will never die.
Okay grandpa
@@1Jbeats This is my Mustang.
czcams.com/video/MLvcZwnZnYo/video.html
No fake sound required.
They just did.
Mustang II came out in September 1973 for the 1974 model year. I own a 1970 Mach 1. 351 W. I agree the V-8 is here to stay!
This is their mustang which means the mustang died.
They should have called it the Ford Model E. Rub some of the T stuff all over it, plus it would have shown that Ford was on a roll, realizing it was time. The Mustang Mach E, not so much.
Good idea it gives a tesla feeling and gives credit to good ol model t
Surprised that Jay reads so many of cards/letters sent to him. With the stand up shows and constantly working on his many cars, his schedule must be full. I’ve noticed that with so many interviews and conversations there are times that Jay repeats comments that are relevant when discussing details about features. We get references to his 7 litre Ford Galaxy and the cold air box, I think I’ve heard it at least 4 times when discussing air intakes in general. Keep it going Jay, I love the coverage!!
Jay.. Talking about car speeds from 0 to 60 I remember an article from either road and track or car and driver from 1988 in which the editor firmly believed cars would never make it to under 5 seconds 0 to 60. I remember counting out in my head from 0 to 4 and thinking how could a car ever go that fast, this guy must be right, LOL
I want to drive to NJ from NM in 3 days, not 4 (or longer). I don't want to sit idle while my car recharges. Nothing like getting 500 miles (or more) on a tank of gas, 10 minute fill up, and back on the road.
LOL You are delusional. Cannon Ball Run CA to NY should take about 2 Days 48hours in this thing. NJ to NM is way shorter. You are soo ignorantly outdated.
So wearing Depends and eating Slim Jims behind the wheel? I guess...
Gas car owners spend 9 hours a year fueling their cars. EV owners plus the car in when they go to bed.
Road trips are a blast in EVs. Fuel costs 75% less, and 20 minutes gives me enough charge to get me to my next bio break. Which, sadly, seems to take the whole 20 minutes, when you add in picking up a drink and a snack!
@Paul DeLucchi Foods better in NJ.
@@Neojhun 48 hours to recharge from NY to CA? Or are you stopping the clock during the recharge? Because you certainly can't sleep 3 times a day while you recharge.
putting the Mustang name on a crossover or SUV is about the most disrespectful thing you can do to the Mustang brand. Ford ether needs to put this technology in a coupe or they just need to stop making Mustangs.
Really good review. I'm 55 and getting my first Mustang in a few months. It's the I.C.E. version of the GT. I'm not ready to jump on the E-revolution for a variety of reasons. While I don't really mind that Ford has an E-version of a Mustang, I'm confused of an SUV version, if that makes sense. While there's a lot of good to say about progress, there's also a lot to say about those things that people can make and feel. Gone will be the days of working on your own car. While I know that many people will gravitate to this new generation, I'm still liking when people say that their Mustang (or whatever ICE car they have) is 'built, not bought." Now, the car is plugged it into a computer/charger, hit the 'enter' button and complete an upgrade. I'm probably romanticizing too much. Thanks, Jay and Ford-guy.
Keep your ICE forever. Ford has yet to make a mustang EV. But what they did make was a Ford Escape EV. And called it a mustang. Mustangs as everyone knows is not a suv. Does not have 4 doors. Everything about calling the Mach E a mustang is a joke and is all about marketing.
When you refer to Mustang as a brand rather than an experience, you've already lost the point.
All people who care about Mustang as the ultimate Ford will be dead in a few decades. They're not marketing to you, they're marketing to future buyers. - Remember all the main car makes are 10 years behind on E.V branding since they're dinosaurs catching up.
I can’t imagine these things at car shows forty years from now with the hoods propped - engine bays from the past are a big part of the interest in vehicles- cars are becoming nothing more than just utility
Yeah, they're about as interesting as fridges or washing machines. I cannot understand, for example how folks get so excited about new cell phones. it's different with internal combustion powered cars.
I'm just the opposite. I had little interest in cars until electric cars came out. Now, I follow all the new EV introductions.
@@dansanger5340 Oh yes, I do keep up with developments with them, but I'm afraid that I can't get excited about them. I'm glad that people do find them stimulating though as, whether I like it or not, they're here to stay.
Oooh check out my motor and obsolete battery.
@@dansanger5340 what interests you about them?
Had a Mach e and it was in the shop 75%of the time I owned it. Was able to get 2100 miles on it before the electronics went out. Took ford over a month to buy it back. Car was in the shop 68days and it was still being worked on when ford bought it back.
They shouldn’t even be allowed to call them cars. They should be legally required to call them appliances.
All "cars" in the future will be considered electrified appliances.
@@mercoid what? You are a 🤡 eh?
Sandy Munro tore down the Mach-E to the component level and was shocked by all the hoses and wiring. He said they will have to a do a lot of reengineering to make it compete with the reliability of the Teslas. Let's hope Ford gets the F-150 Lightning right!
@@aussie2uGA you do knew that was a job 1 car produced over a year ago right? Ford has already corrected…
I'm waiting for the Mustang Mini Van, so excited!!
Jay's favorite phrases.... "I remember" "in the old days" 🤣🤣🤣
The first year car having lots of problems is even more relevant today, as it was was in the past.
💯
Yup when they first came out in 64 they had problems and were already antiquated
I say if you're gonna make a mustang..make a freakin' mustang and not a freakin' crossover. I'll still buy it even if it doesn't go vroom vroom. Just make a mustang.
Waaaahhhh
I think they’ll make it a sub brand
True, doesn't look anything like a Mustang, it doesn't even look American
They put the mustang name on a 2.3l 4-cylinder in the 80s… this is fine.
@@WorldwideWyatt and amazingly the mustang has been around long enough for them to screw up again.
23:23 that „Bangs and Olsen“ cracked me up 😅
Agreed...he's totally out of touch with this detail. 😆
so I wonder how that push button door handle thing would fully work in some of these winter states like Wisconsin where your doors and your cars will freeze shut
And then the absense of a heat pump!!! I heard you can’t even order that as an option, at least not in my country (the Netherlands)
Future google searches...My Mustang mach e door wont lock/open.
It insults a car guy when a salesman is selling you a vanilla crossover and calls it a Mustang.
For one, this thing won't spin out and mow down people at Cars and Coffee events.
👍🤣
I was thinking about that when he said "Heart and Soul of a Mustang" 🤣
I had a mustang GT for a few years and I own one of these now, they’re everything a daily suv should be but i don’t think of it as a Mustang
me either
Right, it's a cool car but not a Mustang. More like an Escape GT.
Right!
They completely dropped the ball for not havin a V8 5.0 option in these🤦🤦🤦the bodystyle was perfect 😭😭😭
Go and see the sticker on the lot, they’re selling a Mustang Mach e GT , so Mustang 👍🏽
Ive got one she’s an amazing car won’t ever go back!
Jay, Dave & Ford. The Best Shows! 😎👍😎
If they just called it a Mach E they would have had no pushback and probably sold just as well
My thoughts exactly.
Not a chance. People would look at it as a Ford compliance car. Ford knew they had to have recognition so they used the Mustang badge to get it.
I still think a four door hatchback shouldn’t be called a Mustang😢
a mustang suv....???? nope!!
Not even a hatch back just a strait SUV
They should have revived the Taurus name and used it on this. I will never consider this a Mustang.
...or a Porsche for that matter, but this is the future and everything can happen.
..and i don't think a four door Jeep should be called a Wrangler...call it something else...
I remember when I was in grade school with a friend walked to a Ford dealership near our school and we looked at a 1967 Mustang on the showroom floor. It was nice and shiny and new.
Because I know you are a great ford icon! A motivator and a salesman!
Jay doesnt sound too impressed with that electric SUV. Then again he has a Tesla Plaid.
I set a world record in a Plaid. How can you top that off? Oh look the front emblem lights up.
I like any video Jay puts up,but I much prefer when he does his own cars or another individual he invites to talk about their car,but when he has corporate brass come on and just talk about how much better their product is than the competition,it kinda turns me off and kind of tacky....JMO
a difference for sure
I am with you on this.... the fact that the guy was laughing about changing a spare tire.... what is funny about that? I do that wjhen I have a flat
@@KZCAN last I heard wheels still flatten.
The EV that I fancy, hopefully on the market this year, is the Sono Sion. It won't charge as fast as it'll drain while driving, but it will charge at rest. And I like the fitted sockets that allow it to be used as a four wheeled donor battery.
All things aside, the numbered key pad on the door is an awesome feature and oddly enough the reason I haven't traded in an old fusion that I have. I'm glad they mentioned that their customers love that feature, because I certainly do. It's great, like he said to go to the beach, or out to golf, or for a run or mountain bike ride and not have to worry about your damn key. Also great when you have to leave the car at an airport.
That keypad has been around on the Fords since the '80s
Does anybody else miss the "will it do a burnout . . ." days?
I sure do!!!
If it looked like an actual mustang, I'd want one. I don't want to drive a mustang crossover
Maybe one day Ford will make a mustang EV
28:10 he reaches over and touches the touchscreen to turn off the propulsion noise. After Jay mentioned how bad it was to him. Haha
At 29:19, I see the Apple Watch ringing and everything in every fiber of my being just wants to say "do you need to get that?" LOL
Looks like a Crossover SUV
Because it is a Crossover SUV
@@ismaelcarrillo3956 Mustang was born as an American Sports Car Icon. 🤣 I guess its time for US cars to go through "Identity Crisis" or "Gender Identity," just like its people.
There goes the Mustang name, they did it to Thunderbird and now Mustang.
That's what they said when the Mustang II came out.
They did it?? You mean offered a car and brand that's outselling gas mustangs? Right.
@@1Jbeats Exactly. Now every soccermom has the same Mustang.
@@1Jbeats no
Well they certainly learned their lesson on a few model names, i.e. Escort and Probe. You gotta wonder what they were thinking especially with the Probe.
Saw my first one at a winery at the north end of the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. It looked really good and was wearing Connecticut plates. Saw my second one at the Ford display at the Woodward Cruise event this year. I emphatically exclaimed that the United States is V8 country and that the V8 powers America on it's highways and bi-ways. - After thinking about this thing for a while, and hearing the current sales figures, this car will probably be a big go for Ford and the electric car segment. Time will tell. I will say, the experience of driving a reworked Mustang GT is like no other and puts a big smile on everyone in the car during those fun moments. Both are unique! G.
This is only called a “Mustang” because they realised that nobody would pay these prices for a Ford badged crossover.
FUD motor will be BANKRUPT in 2023.
And...that's why you have a marketing department. To figure these things out and make money. So Mustang it is.
@@LawrenceRoss1906 - TESLA does MORE, with ZERO fluff and ZERO marketing.
Honestly yes. I would have been more interested if it had another name.
@@LawrenceRoss1906 Mustang it's not, it's a Mach E with a name added to sell. You can call a turtle a Porsche, but it doesn't make the turtle more sporty.
Thank you Jay for all your hard work !
He is a national treasure!
Your annoying as your channel.
Not saying it's a bad vehicle, but it is not a Mustang.
Agreed
24:00-If I'm not mistaken, the late Sixties Ford Thunderbird had something like that as well. As for the Mustang Mach-E, one might consider that Porsche was largely known for its two-door roadsters until it started coming out with crossovers some years back. What I see with the Mustang is something along those lines. I myself have no issue with the Mach-E, and in fact, think it's a very cool alternative to Tesla!!! PS: I've seen them in person in Massachusetts, and they look great!!!
Jay…all this talk of motors/engines…
I had a flight instructor tell me:
A motor has two outputs…heat and torque
A engine has three outputs…heat…torque and exhaust…
(Of course in both…RPM is the result of torque)
As much as I love Mustangs, and always will, I must say that they fell short on styling for this model. It does look like an SUV especially with the 4 doors! Just not the same this year.
I think this car is for people that drive suv's can pretend to be cool by saying "I drive a Mustang"...they missed the que on the naming of it in my opinion. This isn't a Mustang.
It's the best looking EV on the market.
@@DK-pr9ny It is nice looking but I think it lost a lot of the style that made Mustang what it is. I can live with it being electric, but I think they lost it with the 4 doors and the SUV look.
@@curtisszymczyk1339 Agree they should have just called it the "Mach-E"
@@DK-pr9ny yes, leave Mustang off; it just does not have the stylish lines.
Can honestly say I still love the keypad on my f150. It's just a nice thing to have. When I randomly need something out of the vehicle you can just type the code and grab it instead of getting your phone or keys.
@Paul DeLucchi what, it's like a password lock entry
I agree great feature. Hope Ford always keeps that feature, very handy.
@Paul DeLucchi Ford started that option in 1980. (I'm not sure if it was reliable at first, but I think people who had it, liked it.)
You can reset your code with a master code. A Ford technician showed me that trick. I used to change codes in parking lots back in high school.
Calling a 4 door crossover SUV a "Mustang" is just a straight up middle finger
Perfect for the transgender and can’t define a woman generation. 😂
But a 4 cylinder “Mustang” isn’t? Who makes up the rules on what a Mustang is? Oh that’s right Ford the owners of the name. The MachE GT is faster than 90% of all production mustangs but “it’s not a real Mustang I want the slower one because it’s traditional” SMH
@@jerryp3551 I know that definitions are a hard concept for someone such as yourself living in a world of ever changing pronouns and such. But hey, get yourself one of those gay EV’s. A “Mach E” is perfect for your non-binary lifestyle. 😂
Yep the headlights was the issue. Angluar but tapered slightly would be optimal. I feel. Forward thinking is what I was feeling for the mustang itself not the mach e. Which is for sustained higher speeds and not acceleration.
Jay talks about going 500K miles and not needing anything. Oh, just a battery pack that will set you back more than a rebuilt trans and a long block. I'm also confused about how Dave can say you never need to change brake fluid. Is there some magic stuff in it? Brake fluid is hygroscopic, except for silicone fluid.
When a switch goes out on a window in 5 years it will be $1000 to fix it. $500 for the switch $500 labor. There’s nothing really to go wrong,,,,,these two are so full of S
It’s not that the life of the brake fluid has increased, it’s that the life of the vehicle decreased 😃
Very nice informative video, Jay. Thanks. BTW, you may have already implied it earlier in this video, but I suspect one of the reasons Ford chose to name it a Mustang was to also show Ford's commitment to the new EV. Quite possibly, if they named it anything else, many might have considered it more of a joke. Naming it a Mustang showed their followers that Ford is dead serious about their commitment to the technology and to this model in particular. And so it seems. Risky? Apparently not from Ford's perspective. At least not anymore. :) Thanks again. I'm awaiting delivery of my 2nd Mach E Gt which should arrive in 1 week.
Does anyone else have problems getting notifications from Jay's channel? Why don't I, I get all others I sub to.
i still love the keypad on the door feature.
The biggest issue with EV Mustang vs a Tesla is not the car itself (although Tesla gets better range), it is the fact the Tesla has the best and dedicated charging network in America. Not only do they charge faster, but within your car you can see on the screen where the available stations are but more importantly real on the spot information as to how many units are being used, how many are available and so on. They are also owned and maintained by Tesla.
Ford or any other company for that matter does not have this and your are sort of at the mercy of these third-party charging stations, many of which are a franchise and often attached to regular gas stations. And often they may not be operating, or not have a fast-charger, etc.
A CZcams channel I follow, MKBHD (tech related with over 15 million subs) last October did a great comparison. He took his Tesla Plaid, a Mustang EV (I forget what trim level) and an Audi with a standard V8. They went on a 1,000 mile trip in the upstate New York area, stopping as needed to charge or fill with gas. Long story short, the Audi made the route in the quickest, Tesla a very close second, and the Mustang a distant third. Why? The available charging station information the Mustang was getting was woefully inaccurate and often they would pull up only to find the station closed or the charging units not working.
The other point is with Tesla you have one account, one payment system, etc. and get detailed information constantly. But with Ford or others you may have to have several accounts with all these several third-party operators, using their apps, relying on their payment systems and so on.
And there is the biggest rub with anything other than a Tesla. The Mustang is doing great because heck… It has the Mustang name and it was smart of Ford to capitalize on that. But no other brand can come close to Tesla. Again, not the car itself, but it’s the infrastructure that is the key!
Jay, at the end, says, "You could go half a million miles in one of these" - only if you pay to renew the batteries a few times I think.
Brakes and oil changes are cheap. Batteries are a big ticket item.
Exactly. You think. Do the research
@@332ARA Tesla batteries warranty is for 100k miles. How long is your gas motor warranty?
@@ismaelcarrillo3956 I have two cars, both twenty + years old. My problem with some electric cars is that when the battery needs replacing - owners won't, because the cost of the new battery will be more than the car is worth - therefore what in the UK insurers would call a 'write-off'. If this proves to be true in the future, then electric cars will not last as long on the road as petrol / diesel cars. You could have a situation where in the lifetime of a petrol/ diesel car, two or three electric cars have to be made - therefore overall the total environmental issues caused per each electric car built could be more than per petrol/ diesel car.
I may be proven wrong, but I don't like the way we are all being encouraged to dash headlong towards electric cars - after all this is what happened with diesel cars - and look how that turned out! I have nothing against electric cars, but believe we should still keep our eyes open on other alternatives - fuel cell, bio-fuel and hydrogen cars for example.
@@ismaelcarrillo3956 Most manufacturers have power train warranties of 80,000-100,000 miles…. Some more. Do the research!
Love it!
1960 Ford base 2door Falcon, 3 on the column, 13" wheels ...wonderfull vehicle then and now, cruise control not necessary...too much traffic. Great video.
"This isn't just some SUV that we've electrified..." What a stupid comment. That's exactly what the Mach-e is. Its an electric 4-door SUV/CUV
Electric vehicles will not work in the large rural states. Until they are able to go 500+ miles in the winter, they will always be urban vehicles. Light trucks/SUVs that have only 100 mile ranges towing a camper in the winter is just not going to replace ICE light trucks. Most of the places we go camping in Oregon do not have charging stations
There are always exceptions. Most people even in rural america this will do most of the driving perfectly.
Pointless, BEVs do not need to cover every use case. If you need more than 400 Miles don't bother with BEVs. There is not even enough Production Capacity for people who only need 400 miles or less. I live in freaking Australia, I would never use a BEV to go into The OutBack. But I would not use a freaking Expedition 4x4 to commute in our megacities. Different tools for different jobs.
How many ICE vehicles can go 500 miles in the winter? Very few. As for electric vehicles that can go 500 miles (although maybe not in winter), there is already one on the market. The Lucid Air has been tested in the real world as being capable of going 500 miles at 70 MPH on the highway, and probably farther at lower speeds.
For everyone that drives 500+ miles a day, and never gets near a highway, this won’t work. That currently rules out Alaska, South America, Africa, and Australia, if you drive 500+ miles per day.
31:40 Somehow Jay manages not to "Lincoln's hat" the headroom observation. Such restraint! LOL
“I like the old cruise-omatic” ‘’’does a pulling motion with hand over gear selector’’’ J’s trying, g-d bless him he’s trying, tht grey is strtn to really show up 😋😋
I'm curious. If Ford ever comes to a point where they make an actual 2 door EV sports car? What will they call it.
Ford Edge Mach E lmao
Probe
Exp
El toro de la mexico.

Why did they call it a Mustang? The idea of a SUV Mustang, when the Mustang has always been a sports car since it’s birth.
@Marlina Lovely💛💛 ❤️❤️😘😍
Because Ford and many other major manufacturers no longer produce cars. They only do SUV's & trucks and companies like Honda & Chrysler still make Mini Vans.
LOVE the Ford pin pad entry system.
I had the chance to see one of these on the road in my hometown, it was the basic, and for the price I didn't care for it, this GT is alot nicer but on price point and electric location would be an issue for me in long distance travel. I like Jay doing these, he talks like the average Joe, and the Guy is trying to sell the product.
Unpopular opinion: yes, it does look like a Mustang. Look at the silhouette as it comes into focus at 0:18. In the first few seconds, you can absolutely see the outline of the Mustang coupe. Yes, the proportions have been tweaked a little to raise it up and fit four doors, but the basic Mustang shape is still there. It's about as good as a modern four-door Mustang could possibly have looked. And the idea of a four-door Mustang goes back to the original 1964 concept cars - a four-door version was an option they considered from the beginning, but in the '60s, it made more sense to just do a two-door body style. The Mustang was advertised as a jack of all trades, and early ads even pitched it as a family car. At the time, 2 doors on a family car wasn't unusual. Now, 4 doors and a higher ride height on a sports car isn't unusual. It could be said that the Mach-E is closer in design philosophy to the original Mustang than the current coupe is. I just wish the car's fan base wasn't so narrow-minded about it.
The Mustang was never the jack of all trades family car, it was a pony car made to be an affordable muscle car. This is an overpriced grocery getter that is targeted toward the lowest common denominator forgetting it’s main demographic, just like that concept you mentioned that thank god never took off. And the mustang Mach-E being good looking is an opinion but saying this thing looks more like a mustang than it’s predecessor is just a strait lie. I could say more but I don’t want to write an essay.
That Le Mans win was a seriously impressive achievement. Same goes for the Mustang Mach E's - stunning
so go drive your toaster, and stay off the expressway.
I love you Jay! U are a true car guy!
He was a car guy until he embraced the Left’s EV trash
Back in the 1970s Yamaha had an advertising campaign declaring that "Someday You'll Own a Yamaha" at the time I was a pretty devoted fan of Suzuki motorcycles and had owned a few Hondas as well so I couldn't imagine owning a Yamaha but sure enough I've now owned 3 Yamahas. I imagine someday I'll own an electric car. I think I'm a little more excited about the day I own an electric car than the first time I owned a Yamaha motorcycle.
Been a fan of Jay Leno for many years and enjoy his sense of humor and the content that he puts out, but this is not a Mustang, it's rebadged and restyled Ford Escape with a golf cart powerplant. Anyone attempting to tell you anything else is either trying to sell you something or has never owned a V8 powered Mustang.
Mustangs (at least back when I first started driving in 1989) were affordable cars that responded well to simple, cheap mods and had a dual exhaust with nice exhaust note and a torquey engine. You could advance the timing, remove the air silencer, drop in K&N replacement panel air filter, install a pair of Flowmaster mufflers on the car, install a Hurst short throw shifter (if you had a 5-speed), put some 3.55 or 3.73 gears in the rear end and for a few hundred dollars in mods have one of the faster cars in your town or High School parking lot.
Once you turned the key on that 5.0 Mustang and heard that exhaust note for the first time or stepped on the gas felt that 3,000 lbs. car lurch forward and push you back in the seat you knew that you were driving something special and didn't concern yourself with trivial things like gas mileage or how many ways you can adjust the seat position.
The Mustang is an enthusiasts car which has inspired future generations of gear heads and Hot Rodders since its introduction while the Mach-E appears to be nothing more than an SUV designed to run errands and pick up your kids with after school with.
Well the makers of mustang called it a mustang so I guess it’s a mustang so I’ll go with that.
@@rfx8459 advertising and marketing companies made the decision to call it a Mustang, not the actual engineers and designers who are associated with the actual V8 Mustang team.
The Mach-E shares nothing with the real V8 Mustang. It isn't built on the same chassis platform, doesn't share any power train parts with the real V8 Mustang nor does it have any design characteristics of the real V8 Mustang.
At no time in the Mustangs history has it ever been marked as a 4 door utility vehicle, even when the pin stripe fairies within Ford attempted to replace it with the Probe over 30 years ago.
The Mach-E is in no definition a real Mustang
I can promise that things on that car will wear out, from suspension to sensors to circuit boards, switches, cameras, solenoids, relays and giros...I could go on and on and it won't be cheap to fix.
They actually do need maintenance. Car and Driver found EV maintenance to be just as expensive as ICE maintenance.
It's not oil changes but what is does need is more expensive. Different things need routine checks.
Tesla's vehicles been out for 9 uears. No significant problems have come up. And that's 9 year old technology. How much is an engine and transmission after your 36k mile warranty?
I like electric cars and their electromechanical superiority. Having said that, my biggest concerns are end of service life environmental impacts regarding battery material mining practices and disposal methods, coupled with the fact that this country's power generation and grid system is not up to the task of supporting the move to electric vehicles. We're putting the cart before the horse, if you'll pardon the pun. There's also the issues of the government having total control over your vehicle and car theft by hacking. So while I'm hopeful for this shift, I'm also pragmatically skeptical. But thank you Jay for always delivering a stellar presentation!
Jay is 👍 terrific
