- The new Mach E GT Performance Pkg is here from Ford to take on Tesla, Lucid, Hyundai, Kia and the rest of the competition. On the outside you will find unique bodywork, 20in wheels, and massive Brembo brakes. On the inside there are performance seats, a 15.5in infotainment system, and plenty of room. Powering the Mach-E GT Performance are (2) electric motors pumping out 480HP. Is the 2022 Ford Mach-E GT Performance the KING of EVs for the PRICE?

I don't know, for 70k the Mach-E GT feels like it's lacking a ton of features. And before anyone says anything I love the thought of an EV, but even Hyundai offers a ton of features in their EV for less than 70k.
70k strong pass
I agree. For $70k, I feel you’re paying more for the name than for what you get. For that price, might as well go shopping for a Tesla or Rivian.
VW
Yeah except that their EV isn't even 1/10th as fun to drive, I would take this over ANY hyundai, even the base model mach. I guess I'm the only person that doesn't care all that much about useless luxury features and can live with just a normal interior as long as it's a more enjoyable vehicle.
You get 7500+ back in rebates. I'll take performance over features.
The screen seems really laggy when swiping through stuff which is another reason why there should be physical controls especially while driving. Stationary, these overly large screens are fine but driving, they are just a clutter of distraction. No sunroof at that price is also a zonk. I get it's supposed to be the "GT" and lower center of gravity is important for handling, but at the end of the day, it's still an SUV.
The glass roof is an option
Very good points!
@@hi_its_m3_284 should be standard at this price!
@@RaitisRides EXACTLY! It's such a desirable feature and it makes the car feel a little bit more worth the price. But for those who don't like it or have had problems with a sunroof in the past with Fords like my mom, I guess it's still fine that it doesn't come with one.
The screen on my Gt is as fast as the car is and there’s a colossal sunroof. No complaints here
Looks nice but for $70k you have to get ventilated seats and a panoramic roof. I also think that door speaker grill could use a little something, maybe if that door trim was black chrome they could have incorporated it into the speaker grill. Thanks for the great review as always.
Excellent points man!
$90,000 at my dealer right now
I sat in one of the Mach Es in the Minneapolis Auto Show and I was definitely a skeptic of its quality but after seeing it and sitting in it, I bet my every cent that this thing is worth the hard earned greens even though I’m not the biggest fan of EVs
I know how you feel Ammar!

Gotta love these reviews! Always on top of all the best cars out there!
You are the best Jason! Thank you for taking the time to say that!
@@RaitisRides I would go both but if I was forced to go 1 I would go Model Y Performance over the Mustang Mach-E GT in terms of styling because I think the Model Y is better it the ludicrous mode is so powerful it looks nice and great sorry to break it to you Ford fans but I like the Model Y Performance better
I'm going to my grave about it still being called a mustang as 4 door suv, Mach-E would have been fine by itself. I'm in the get off my lawn camp now in my 40s
I’m right there with you!
But where were you when the Charger came out as a 4 door sedan? Did you say the same thing?
not as offensive since still a car, not an crossover, but as they say slippery slope, plus challenger is still a 2 door
Almost 800k subs. Do a review of your mansion to celebrate.
Mach-E GT Performance Pack On Throttle Tiiiiiiiime!!! Still not all on board with the naming of this rig but Ford put together a decent package here with Performance to match!!! Love the review here Joe and Lori!!! Blessings on you both and your entire network of dealerships and media personnel for bringing us hit after hit after hit reviews!!!
Thanks for letting me electrify your life.
The way you incorporate food in to your car specific descriptions cracks me up..! So creative… is a bit of a fun element that brings a unique/ fun style in to your presentations.. I’ve learn to enjoy it very much!..
I'm not an electric fan BUT this vehicle looks good and seems to be built very well. The color is SHARP. Joe, the humor is so refreshing. The bit about "you might have noticed a neighbor's door falling off on his Tesla" is still making me smile...Thanks to you and Lori...PS: USA
It happens 😂
czcams.com/video/QFGa2lk4jE4/video.html
Great review, was considering one in the future but it just doesn’t meet the cut as far as luxury enough for 70k. Even my 5.0 has cooled seats which is ridiculous. The car isn’t bad but could be better for that price.
I can understand where you are coming from!
@@TonyCrispruby If you want a full size pickup
Needs 2 year / 25,000 mile supply of twinkies
Walker Ford is also adding $15,000(!) to the price, so really it’s $85,000
@@ericbliss6354 Screw that mark up noise. In this market no one should buy a car above MSRP.
“One of my neighbors, his door fell off when he opened it” accurate representation of Tesla LOL
I don’t mind the look, but the price, the name, that huge info tablet, no ventilated seats are turn offs for me. Thanks for the review Joe and well done Lori! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I feel the same way Larry!
no panoramic sunroof is a deal breaker as well
I agree. Even for an EV this is a poor value. And I personally would prefer longer range vs. the extra horsepower.
Having no 360 Camera + No ventilation seats is an extra zonk...
I agree at the price point A/C seating would be standard including a panoramic sunroof. But I’m still on the fence regarding the Mach E. The range isn’t what I think it should be at. I personally feel the range should be at least 375 with the performance trim and over 400 at the standard trim.
Forget it. I got the LR AWD, absolute shitshow from Ford. The car itself in terms of driving experience is a 9/10 when using regen braking - however as soon as you have to hit the break, the comfort levels drop to about a 4/10. Horrible brakes that fire you out of your seat. It also does not have an app where you can pre-heat the car with the touch of a button. Instead you have to set the time you want your car heated for, then whether you want it cold, medium or warm. Coming from a MS 2019, this has been incredibly disappointing.
I liked it, but I don't know if I'd pay that much for an electric vehicle at this moment.
You should check out the lucid air. Those are going for big money more then this
When drivers of other EVs see a Mach-E, do they turn into a Norwegian Blue Parrot and go pining for the Ford? 😆 (a little Monty Python humor...)
I love what you did there!
Can anyone hear the pedestrian warning ?? 70k is hard to swallow 🏁
Tell me about!
I love your review. Throwing them jokes in there only some of us will understand 😂😂 My fav car review! Keep up the amazing work my dude!
Thanks fir letting me share the cars and the laughs with you!

To the door panels…!!! 💥🚀🚀 it’s becoming the standard one liner of the auto review industry ! A national treasure !! Makes me hungry for a Philly cheesesteak
When you said let's see what it sounds like and heard nothing when you sped off haha
I’ve had mine (Non -PE) for a week now and it’s amazing. Beautiful inside, and that acceleration from 0-60 is exhilarating.
Do you have charging issues in public since Ford don’t have a charging network like Tesla
I currently live in LA county so lots of opportunities for public charging. Can’t speak about other areas where infrastructure for EVSE is not as substantial.
When Harley Davidson released the LiveWire, they realized the Harley userbase did not embrace electrification. So the company did the right thing by creating a separate brand for LiveWire and removed the Harley branding from their new models. Ford needs to do the same by not calling these things Mustang.
I totally agree with you!
I agree the mach e is good by itself
Brah! You Nailed this Showcasing , Love everything about this car, yes way better looking than the competition and wish it had a range close to 400MPGE for that price point Thank You
I think you mean 400 miles. We are a long way from 400mpge. However, that would be amazing right now.
@@wbwayne8887 👍
If you are driving 400 miles a day then clearly any EV is not for you.
Absolutely love Joes humor. Nobody else on CZcams can match it!
Thanks for taking the time to say that!
232 mile range is not worth 70k. Hopefully in the next five years it will be better

the laptop glued to the dash looks like an.. oops we forgot to add a screen. No physical buttons? how do you do a no look adjust to anything? I guess adding games to the laptop is to pass time in a parking lot waiting to recharge
Ford and Tesla are really leading the way in the affordable EV space. If you have the money, the Tesla model y performance is the better vehicle, but this is still a superb car.
Joe? Actually saw one at my dealer when I took my edge at maintenance yesterday I could say it looks super good in person especially in this Color! :D
Kia Forte, 28k, ventlilated seats
Mustang Mach-e, 70k, no ventilated seats
What up Joe? Mach-E time!
Hey Tom! Let's get electrified!
@@RaitisRides ;D
Iwant to ask what the difrent betwen msrb and the reatil price and which one the price i buy
Nice Ford Mach-E I love this colorway! I think this brand is the ECTRIC CAR'S DISCIPLE I love the way Ford did a dandy of a job.
I’m so glad that you are digging this one!
@@RaitisRides No way Ford is the second EV's Disciple Tesla is the Disciple of EV's so is Porche. The true Disciple is Lori she's a dandy of A videographer. I think Ford kind of made a mistake on the lack of ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof and aluminum pedals but neither vehicle's perfect or else they'll look rather boring Ain't that the truth.
A purse.. a murse.. took me a second 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
I got two “At the front of the business…” Love this guy. The front end is sharp. Loads of bells and whistles, what the Tesla’s don’t have. I’m not a minimalist, I want all the screens, buttons to make me feel like an actual driver.
Thank you joe for not referring to this vehicle as a “Mustang” throughout this video, and instead just calling it the Mach-E 😇
Dude. I LOVE MUSTANGS… but I’m really feeling that Kia ev . I don’t wanna drive a jelly bean nor an iPad ! Thanksgiving dinner lol!! Good one!!
Kia sucks
I bought a Mach e gt performance last year. I was very excited to have finally a performance electric car that looks good and better than a Tesla. I was not bother from the fact they called Mustang becouse anyway style wise remember a mustang!
I liked the handling and the magneride suspension, the look, the interior is ok+ I liked it but I didn't like you can chose just one color (boring grey) and that's it. The screen is bad laggish and unusefull, it is just there to copy Tesla!
Ford raise in 2022 the price of the car of 3k and they are not accepting order anymore becouse don't have the materials to build ev cars. Sure there is a supply shortage but in reality they are very behind respect Tesla in bulding ev
I like and follow Rati's Rides reviews but there are some imprecisions.
First you can still order with panoramic sunroof that cames together with ford 360 outopilot but this will raise the price arriving to over 78k😬
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THE REVIEW DIDN'T SAY IS THAT THE CAR GIVES YOU JUST 5 SEC OF POWER AND EVEN LESS..MORE YOU PUSH MORE THE CAR BECAME SLAGGISH AND UNUSEFULL!
WHAT FORD WAS THINKING TO SELL AND MARKET A CAR AS A PERFORMANCE CAR LET YOU SPEND ALMOST 80K AND NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU 5SEC OR LESS OF POWER. THE CAR SOFFER ABOUT HORRIBLE OVERHEATING AND AND RESULT IN ORRIBLE EXESPERIENCE TO DRIVE IF YOU JUST PUSH JUST A LITTLE!
IF FORD DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DO AND EV AND MANAGE THE OVERHEATING SHOULD NOT PUT IN THE MARKET A SUPPOSE PERFORMANCE EV WITH FAKE PERFORMANCE ADVERTISING!
REALLY MISLIDING FOR CUSTOMERS!
ON THE TOP OF THIS THE DEALERSHIP EXESPERIENCE IS HORRIBLE, MY CAR DIED COPLETELY AFTER JUST 2K MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX AT ALL, THEY EVEN DIDN'T WANT TO OFFER ME A LOANER TELLING ME THAT IS FAULT OF FORD AND I WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM THREATING ME VERY BAD. THIS AFTER YOU SPENT ALMOST 80K IN THEIR CAR. THE CAR STAYED THERE FOR MORE THAN 2MONTHS UNTIL WHEN FORD PROPOSED ME TO BUYBACK IT..FORTUNATELY!!
I know Walker Ford gives you the car and you have to advertise it but you still should hint at least of this big problem overall becouse following your Rati's rides reviews you are in performance driving and it is impossible you didn't notice it!
I am sorry you have had that experience. That sounds horrible. I really believe that Ford rushed a performance version to the market because when the executives decided to call it a Mustang, they knew that buyers would expect a performance version to live up to the Mustang name, and the longer it took, the more impatient people would get. Therefore it came to the market, half baked. Hopefully for Ford's sake, not everyone buying a Mach E GT is having the same experience you did. That is truly unexcusable, especially when spending that kind of $$ on a vehicle.
@@wbwayne8887 Thank you for yor support!
Yes I had an horrible experience and the dealership was the worst part.They should improve, actually completely dismantle their dealeship arrangment for sure. The dealeships want just to make money on you without taking any responsability!
Then I don't think the car should die after just 2k miles and have an horrible overheating issue and cut in half the power after just 5 sec or less!! Like you said I think ford rushed the production scared that will lose the ev market for the future without having the proficency to build a decent car and not knowing how to manage the overheating issue at all.
Infact they delivered just around 6k mach e and already they stop even the orders becouse is to difficult for ford to build them!
@@anto6408
Exactly, no one should have to go through what you had to endure. Ford should be ashame of themselves. I am willing to bet if you would have filed a legal case, you probably would have won.
I don't care for CUVs but its cars like this that lessen my annoyance at our forced EV future. I like the 'Stang details in the front, the splitter, the vents, I like the Brembos peeking out, I like the taillights and the "GT" badge. I like the interior (but that giant iPad has to go---half that size integrated in the dash and I'm good). Its close, very close. This is the first (and so far only) EV that has the details to give it some character----the kind of things we brag about to our buddies on Saturday night. Based on what I see here, when the real Mustang EV option shows up, I think we will all be very pleased.
The best exterior looking EV on the market…but it is expensive. Ford’s quality and reliability are also subject to scrutiny. Hopefully this one will hold up. Well done Ford!
We will see how it pans out.
I’m wondering are they designed with an alternator for recharge power? Just a thought
They won’t do such because They want us to pay for recharging.
I love this Mach E GT..its still in its infancy..no ventilated seats 💺 booo..maybe in the future they will have it as a option so as the panoramic sunroof and a metal package with metal pedals and metal speaker covers....tablet tacked on..hopefully one day they gonna integrated into the dash...2 way.. cutting cost lol..but thanks Joe and Lori for this exciting vehicle..just give this vehicle to mature..on throttle whoosh..😀!!!!!
The huge vertical screen is a deal breaker for me. And for some reason I’m seeing lawsuits for people getting their fingers stuck in those rear doors. Other than that, looks great !! Thanks Joe and Lori………best CZcams channel 👍
Thanks for going ON THROTTLE with me! Very good points Tom!
It actually has a safety mechanism where the door doesn't close on your fingers once it's propped open until you open it a little further. Only then can you slam the door shut
For the price of this car,I think it needs leather interior, ventilated seats, and panoramic sunroof
$15K markup. Pass
18:09 lol 😂
Joe, I own the GT PE Grabber Blue with Pano Roof. It's so much fun to drive. Makes me feel like I own the road. I can enter traffic in an instant and can leave just about any vehicle in my rear view mirror from a stop light. Handles to me like a Mustang (I own a 2014 Mustang). With the $7,500 tax credit it is competitive with Tesla's for sure.
Texas experienced power grid failures last week and it's not even into triple digit summer temps yet.
Now imagine adding several million electric vehicles to the recipe...
Great work Lori. 😉
Nice review as always ! - since you can't order a 2022 whats coming up with the 2023 version? added features? performance? etc?
“It’s like a bad version of tinder” lmao
The “grabby” brakes smooth out after about 500 miles. At least it did for mine!
I like the design and think Fird did a great job of tying the Mach E in with the Mustang. If I was an owner it would be way cooler to say I had a Mustang (cough) Mach E GT than just a Mach E. That said though, I still think it should have just been named the Mach E. No crossover/suv should have ever been called a Mustang imo.
👍
Shame what ford did using the mustang nameplate on this electric monstrosity. I like how in your title’s you didn’t use mustang in there but called the mach e instead. They should’ve did that instead. I wouldn’t mind for the next generation mustang they add all this new tech that’s currently in the Mach e. I would assume this tech will reach to the other models in their lineup
I really didn't mind the name at all when it first came out. Then, one day, i said I'm getting a mustang just to have someone say "wow. You're getting an electric vehicle." I do not know why but that seriously pissed me off. Hated the name ever since
there's literally nothing wrong with electric vehicles 😂 wayy cheaper to maintain , hell of a lot more reliable in the long run , doesn't cause any pollution at all , and you save hella on not having to fill up with gas anymore , i love the good ole mustang but things are changing and advancing
The door should have a black finish IMO where the silver is
MME monster 70k but putting a smile on your face like that is priceless. Keep up the good work bro!
You guys never put the radio on , one of my favorite things in my cars will be the clarity on the music . I need it loud and clear < i don't care for any of the motor sounds. When i'm driving down the road across country < screw the mufflers .
Gosh, the more I watch about this car, the more I want one.
This going to be an interesting category in years to come with Ford dialing in performance package of EVs. It’s a matter of time before other manufacturers start following suit
Tesla?
Lexus NX450H + is what I got. Reliability at it best.
Man, you are so entertaining to watch. Love your sense of humor. On-throttle!
I really appreciate your awesome support Josh.
At 24:00; How much I love and miss that Florida sky! ❤😊
I hope at some point in the future they make an electric mustang coupe. This car looks really nice but I’m tired of all the mid size SUVs
I’m sure that is the direction they will eventually go.
I think this should be priced closer to the regular mustang because the price is just too high for what you get.
Oh yes!! This is all I have been waiting for this one and thanks Joe for reviewing my most favorite All-electric Crossover SUV by Ford.
Nice ..looks way more exciting than TESLAs offering 🙌
There’s no way I would pay $70,000 for that, I’m sorry! For $70,000 you could get something really nice in a hybrid engine! Or you could just get the new type R when it comes out and the new Elantra N and call it a day…lol🚗
Exactly! I’m in the market for a new car and I could get a brand new m340xi AND save over ten grand! And that’s BMW which handles and performs better than this thing any day!
Or have a fleet of beaters for different uses lmao
Meanwhile people are spending 150k on garbage bmw i8's, I would take this over an i8 even if both were free.
This blows pretty much any of those alternatives away. Drive it and you’ll know. The build quality is excellent, the acceleration literally moves your blood, and it is so stable. I thoroughly loved driving it when i did.
Metal infused turkey does sound good... Then brake dust for pepper. Jeeze my wife is gonna love it!
Sounds like a plan!
Really like the review. The orange colour is my favourite. Back wiper is terrible. Speaker cover need to be improved. No aluminium pedals!!!
Can’t imagine a high performance Ford GT EV with such ‘Narrow’ 245 wide tires.
No sunroof? That's crazytalk! My Mach E GT has one. Why not this?
The base Ford f150 lightening is the best value ev available, maybe best value new car. But this vehicle competes very well. Best SUV at its price. The Mustang styling is very clearly there. They gotta improve the cooling for the batteries for better repeated runs. The frunk is awesome!
Too bad they didn't give you one with the pano roof and BlueCruise, love it on ours.
I want to embrace the EVs more, but until they can make them more affordable across the board with better mileage between charges, I just can't. I drive 80+ miles per day living in the country, and it would be great to know I'm not having to charge my car ever other day. Maybe in a few years things will get better.
Thanks for the video Joe!
Make a review vidio on Ford Fusion 2.0 ecoboost please I gonna buy that car please I your big fan bro 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 love from Brampton Canada 🇨🇦
Nice review Joe. Totally agree on not liking the portrait orientation of the center panel. At this price point, integration should be a given. The biggest flaw in what is otherwise great execution of a performance EV.
Better integration than the Model Y and 3 imo.
Yes. U ever see one? Beautiful sporty and premuim.
every video has the same enthusiasm and thats impressive
Im going to hold out a few years for the Shelby version
Sounds like a plan Richard!
Omg, lmbo. Rotors for plates for thanksgiving dinner, only you Joe, lol. You are hilarious lol. Great review. That makes it really enjoyable to look at.
As always a great review. Lori your camera work is second to NONE, fantastic. The one thing that I would be concerned about in the GT is that I keep hearing that when you put the pedal down that after 5 seconds the power drops off. I have no idea why Ford made it that way, do you? JoAnn
Has to do with cooling and protecting the battery I believe. Can't wait until they get that one figured out though.
They do offer a pano sunroof. Not sure why everyone is knocking it for that. It’s part of the blue cruise package
Nice looking but disadvantages outweigh the pluses. Unfortunately, dealer markups, weak supercharger network when traveling just to name a few. I traded my 2017 Gt 350 for the egg shaped 2021 y performance and I have no regrets! My 2017 Gt 350 had more panel gaps than my Tesla. This coming from a guy that has owned 8 stangs ( 2012 Boss, 03 Mach 1, and the mighty 04 Cobra just to name a few). Great review.
Inver Grove Ford has this exact vehicle and the MSRP is $72K. Didn’t ask about the markup because I’ll be the last person to buy an electric vehicle. Nevertheless as far as electric vehicles go, this is my favorite. The Mach E GT is a very formidable vehicle. Excellent video as always. Lori 🙇♂️ we bow before you 😀
No EV for me either! I am sticking with the mighty V8!
The Tesla Model 3 sold a crapload last quarter. The SUV EV space is wide open since the US doesn't get any diesels like the upcoming CX60 with the 3.3L. Looks like it'll be a Mercedes killer on the home turf.
We need one!
Couldn't pay me to drive an electric. Got a 2000 mustang gt and it's good enough for me.
It looks nice, but for $70 big ones I think it’s lacking. I judge the Teslas even more harshly. I think when people mention Ford’s efforts to tie in the Mustang name they are likely missing is not that the Mach-E is infringing on the Mustang’s territory, but how this is foreshadowing the future of the Mustang brand in both power trains and vehicle design.
Joe was considering buying this or model 3…. Came back here to rewatch your review. Thanks for the great job! Going with the model 3 tho!
For that price Joe, give me a Mach1 Premium with the handling package and a 6 spd. Great review!
I agree with pretty much every zonk… for the money and considering it’s a “GT” this vehicle should look a lot nicer and have more features. They should just let the Shelby team redesign it.
You hit the nail on the head!
I have seen other reviews of this year car and they had a panoramic sunroof?
Top notch review as always Team Raiti. Your opinions about what should be and what shouldn't be about this EV is on point with my own and what I'm also not a fan of is that horizontal tablet stuck onto the dash. Seems lazy imo.
Portland, JAMAICA in The Building !!
Waiting for mine. They say 2 weeks away. I ordered 9 months ago exact one but with the glass roof. 🤞🏻
That cloth on the speaker is actually one of the worst things I’ve seen in a car it’s hideous! Should’ve spiced it up more I totally agree with you Raiti! 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks Jace for sharing your feelings in this one.
Don’t like the vertical iPad slapped on. Hoping they change that in a future model.
After watching a few of your reviews I thought you could actually be unbiased unlike most reviewers but that idea quickly fell apart after watching this review. Pay attention to how many car reviewers drag any negative they can think of about Tesla into OTHER car reviews yet they VERY RARELY mention any of the many positives while reviewing other brands. Criticism is welcome and can be used to improve but when done fairly across all brands (the door fell off the Tesla?-come on Joe). How come you manage NOT to mention Tesla when you come across things Tesla does BETTER than the Mach-E-GT? Why is that (newfound MONEY I suppose)? Maybe you can take this criticism and improve as a car reviewer. You do a good job buy try to leave your biased comments out of the review. Really which brand do you think has the better software, the Ford or Tesla which is a Silicon Valley startup. Every reviewer seems to harp on build quality but somehow manages to gloss over the fact how great Teslas software is. Tesla WILL fix any quality issues long before you get GREAT software along with “over the air updates” that actually can improve the vehicle from other manufacturers. Fortunately many others can see the same flaws in most car reviewers such as yourself. That is why the Model-Y will outsell the Mustang EASILY 5-to-1 in the coming years. Doug DeMuro, Throttle-House and almost all reviewers do exactly as yourself. I am 55-years old but have definitely noticed how the older generations are biased towards the “old school” manufacturers. THE KIDS LOVE TESLA & just like with what happened with smartphones the same thing will occur with EV’s over the next 10-to-15 years. The transition will occur much faster than most think. This just happens with the adoption of new technologies. Think of all the older people that use to say “I just need a phone to talk”. Now they have smartphones because there IS NO ALTERNATIVE and the others have died-off. How many flip-phones do you see selling? Well built EV’s are the NEW SMARTPHONES & ICE-vehicles WILL become the new flip-phone. Many will fight this along the way (especially in the United States) but once EV-technology develops a little more they will be faster, safer, handle better (lower center of gravity) along with requiring much less maintenance. Not to mention they will undercut ICE-vehicles in price because the vehicles will be built using less parts. At this point you will either need to be stupid or stubborn not to purchase an EV.
