I work for Ford and had to road trip cross country to test BlueCruise... Honestly they aren't bad to road trip. You are right in that public, non-Tesla charging stations are unreliable but I've never been stuck in a situation that really screwed me. The worst was when I was driving from Atlanta, GA to Jackson, MS. I had to charge in Meridian, MS and there was only two chargers... a level 2 at a Kia dealer and a level 1 at a sketchy motel. Of course the level 2 was down so I had to spend HOURS sitting around for it to charge at the level 1 to get to the next faster charger. Apparently MS isn't taking public charging very seriously because they're a known charging desert. But other than that, I loved road tripping it. It's so smooth and BlueCruise makes long road trips and even traffic much less stressful.
It’s a great looking car. We test drove one before we bought our Ariya. I ended up buying the Nissan (the AWD dual motor model with the larger battery pack) We bought the Ariya bc it was a bigger interior and I liked that it had an operational panoramic sunroof with a shade.
I went all the way to Min in the California version and yes I did have to wait in some cases but I was able to do it and I will do it again! That's why Farley got Tesla to let their cars charge at their stations so that problem will be GONE. Can't wait till solid state batteries come! 10 min charging!
The insurance thing is valid unless you have a Tesla. They have their own insurance and have very cheap rates. I’m switching next month and it’s almost half the cost of a premium with any other provider.
This just sounds like an ad for the car you can't sell for half the price you paid
I just rented a Tesla for the very first time, when I got into a regular car I forgot regen braking wasn't a thing LOL
In 2024 the tesla chargers will be opening up to Ford but you will need to buy an adapter. That will open up 12,000 tesla chargers to Ford EV’s
You can use the tesla charging stations now if you buy the adapter for the mach-e

Please don’t park your EV in your garage as they can burn your home down when they take a hissy fit lol
Good reviewer. I still prefer my Tesla Model 3 Performance though. I do like the Mach-E's body design. Ford should keep improving this product.
$5? What? I don’t think so.
How much are battery replacements?
Great video!! Love it
Some feedback as compared to our Mach-E experience on our 2023 Premium that we bought in June of 24:

Well constructed videos Carlos!
61yrs old and I learned a new word today. Frunk 😊👍🏽
I bought the GT and you are so correct it makes me nauseous when in unbridled and driving fast. It is a lot of fun though!
