The new Mustang Mach-E GT is the high-performance version of Ford's already succesful first venture into the EV marketplace. With 480 HP and 634 lb/ft of torque, AWD, and magnetic ride suspension, you know it's going to be quick. And with styling updates, better seats, and new materials, it's got visual and practical improvements to boot. But at nearly $70,000 as tested, will Matt have regrets over the "regular" Mach-E he already owns?

“They are healthy people” lmfao man you kill me
I hope Ford is listening because that upgraded seats, mag ride, smaller wheels, higher profile tire setup is exactly what I'd want as well. And YES, makers of EVs, STOP putting frequently used functions into touch screens! Sure it's cost effective and (for now) it's perceived to be high end but it's bad human factors for driving.
A Dodge Ram array of buttons is far more dangerous then a well labeled well lit central location.
@@Birdsaregovspys6969 I am not anti-touch screen, I am anti "put everything in a touch screen." I will argue that well placed buttons and dials that are dedicated to actuate the most commonly used functions in any automobile are far less dangerous than embedding them into a touch screen. Reasons why:
1) At 70mph/112kph, a driver is traveling over 100ft/30m per second. If it takes only 3 seconds for a driver to divert their attention to actuate something, they have traveled the distance of about three football pitches or about a 30 story building on its side. The more time it takes to negotiate with a touch screen, the less time that driver is tending to the business of driving.
2) As a driver becomes accustomed to their interior, even a Dodge Ram, they'll learn exactly where a control is and not need to take their eye off the road to actuate it. Many buttons have brail-like bumps on them just for that reason. Touch screens always need a driver to divert their attention to reading a screen, hovering a finger over the screen on a bumpy road while reading it is uncomfortable and unnatural. I takes longer and more effort to complete the same task.
3). Many touch screens require 2 to 4 step presses to get to a desired function. Some touch screens now require a deep dive for the most absurdly simple things such as re-directing a climate vent, or a mirror. While touch screens do de-clutter, are a fun light show that makes a person think they spent more money for something cool and (shhhhhh) are vastly cheaper for manufacturers to make over dedicated dials/buttons: in practice, they open up more opportunities to miss-press or double press a feature (as illustrated in this review). This means to do something that used to take a second in an '05 accord is taking 4 to 10 seconds in a '22 Mach E. This can also cause undue frustration and agitation to actuate something that was once so simple to do. This again, takes someone away from the business of driving.
@@wizardmix Maybe you are from a different generation that struggles with touch screens and devices similar. There is nothing wrong with that its not like you grew up with those always in your hands. Me being 26 I type on my iphone without looking screens are a non issue. As far as car infotainment systems I find it far far easier to adjust things like radio, climate control, navigation ect much easier on our teslas then say our Porsche 991.2. Maybe it is the amount of miles I drive on each car that I am more familiar with any control I need on the tesla. But I strongly feel that it is actually easier because everything is in one location that is well lit and easy to read with my bad eyes without taking too much attention from the road. The 911 I am constantly looking down at the center console playing climate control or music roulette. Now combine climate control roulette with a complete lack of basic safety systems a $18,000 Toyota comes with for free and the 911 is far more likely to end up in a accident with me driving due to being distracted than my Tesla.
This is not just a tesla thing. My toyota prius prime was almost exclusively controlled through the touch screen as well and I was much happier with that layout then the prius C i replaced that was all normal buttons.
@@louisvanbelkum1778 You have a nice array of vehicles for being as young as you are.
I'm 42 and surrounded by touch screens and technology. It is very much intrinsic to my business. I've been ahead of the curve and embracing new tech for decades and sparing you a lengthly explanation, let's just say "being out of touch" is how a person would define me.
My take-away here is that we all can prefer what we've grown accustomed to and in your case, the UX of the Tesla has grown on you to a level that you prefer it to a sea of dedicated buttons. I can understand that. It doesn't change my conviction that three presses on a touch screen are easier than one press of a dedicated button when I want to actuate the "recycle air" function in my car.
It is true. I'm older and I did grow into adulthood in a place and time where a device was not tracking and collecting data on every single thing I do, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Don't get me wrong, knowing what it was like before this has me in constant awe of the technology boom, BUT unlike those younger than me, it's not exactly needed to make my life complete. I know how to do with out. I lived it and I do feel bad for the generations who cant experience that frame of reference.
For what it is worth, here is what I've noticed in my (coincidental) 26 years of driving: When I was in my 20's, I used to get all huffed up about older drivers. Living next to a major university as I do, I've noticed the far worse ones are in their early 20s. In aggregate, the drivers I encounter on my day to day have become far less attentive, far less spatially aware and show a considerable lack of skill to the point where I find it shameful they were allowed a license at all. This coincides with a sharp rise in devices and stimuli that reside within the greenhouse that tend to take one's focus off the business of driving or go so far as to suggest: "It's okay, I've got this, here's some drop menus to play with."
I can and have parallel parked 27' commercial vehicles with a 15' trailer using only side mirrors as my guide and I see people considerably younger than me not able to manage a CRV into a generous gap in spite of the 360º surveillance cameras, sensors and the rest. I'm honestly embarrassed for them. My day to day driving feels more like navigating a Japanese gauntlet show full of absent-minded obstacles, seemingly unwilling to realize their relationship to other cars on the road than it does feel like I'm with young professionals who have a sense of what they're doing.
In almost every case, I see that person staring down or not paying attention as though they have some social disorder that prevents them from engaging in an amicable way with their fellow drivers.
This is what I'm seeing as someone whose been here a little bit longer than you and it's why I prefer, while driving, to be less bothered by complex screen based systems that even the most skilled UX designer can spend too much time on to actuate a simple task.
also please stop making connected cars, just extra money and extra tracking
Good sense of speed in this one. Can tell you're really hustling it.
"there's no such thing as beating the shit out of an ev" -sunglasses man
Its so eerily fast that the outside camera looks like it's on fast forward 🤣
No doubt I’ve always thought watching dashcam footage makes it look like you are going slower compared to actually sitting in the car. I think this guy is flying.
They should have a "Bareback" drive mode option for when you disable all the stability and traction controls.
Mustang Crowd Control Mode
Lawsuit mode
Brokeback
I wouldn't want to race an STI on bareback mode
I drive an AWD Audi. In my old one, you could turn it all off, but on the new one it says it's off but it will jump in if things look bad. I turned off all the stability an TC in my old one ONCE and would never do that again the rest of the time I owned it. My new Audi has 140 hp more and 130 ft lbs tq more and makes more torque everywhere and HP is still climbing when the ECU goes to cut fuel at 7000+ rpm. If you are on it and you hit a crack in the road in second gear the TC light comes on as the tires spin. I wouldn't want to turn TC completely off.
I love that when you edited this with the reverse shot you left the car going backwards at the 4:20 mark.
The flat plane crank quip stabbed me right in the heart🤣 i adore e92m so naturally id love to own a voodoo someday. But ill definitely be sending this to all my friends
Does the S65 have a flat plane crank? Thought it was cross plane.
@@kylem324 you are correct, i referenced it because my personal love for gt350 stemmed from my love of the e92m. They are comparable in a few ways, i think the voodoo’s fpc could be part of the reason it sounds/acts similar. If my memory is correct the p65 variants do come with fpc and sound absurd.
@@kylem324 i also could be completely wrong about why they behave similarly because I’m far from an engine builder
12:05 Tesla seems to get around this by having the first ~50% of the throttle gently mapped for everyday driving, then at a certain point you hit a wall where it just goes ballistic
There's no wall, no surprises. It's a gradual increase. It may be a logarithmic curve, but as you press the throttle you get a smooth increase in power. No one who owns and drives one has ever complained (that I've heard) about an unmanagable throttle.
12:20 "The first week in this car, you're gonna be jumping off the line like Fast & Furious"
Oh... so like a Mustang driver leaving cars & coffee.
Hey, that's me and my 5.0 leaving...anywhere
Leaving cars and coffee, entering nearest crowd.
Except they won’t be crashing into crowds bc awd lol

THIS was the review I've been waiting for so long to see. Thanks guys! My GTPE spec'd exactly like that one you just reviewed is currently being loaded on a truck on its way to me from the railyard. I'm SO excited!
Get ready to get smoked by teslas are red lights🤣
@@arvins.7064 as if you could afford an ‘03 Corolla, let alone a Mach e or Tesla
@@xavriz You're defending a 4-door suv\crossover that mostly "Karen's" are going to drive. Why? Because they decided to call it a mustang since ford hasn't had an original thought for some time now? They just rip off and copy everyone else (tesla this time), and as you can see not much has changed.
You could double the power and the range, and I still wouldn't want to drive this anymore than I would want to drive a v6 mini-van. It looks like another generic wad of crap with mustang tail lights. Fancy.
@@arvins.7064 How is that any different to buying any other car?
Are you guys car guys or just tech nerds? Don't hate on another man's wheels, each to their own.
@@arvins.7064 and I will buy a fully loaded Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition anyway.
Excellent review! Totally agree, AWD premium with a MagneRide damping option would be excellent! The hp for RWD was possibly a typo, here are the various premium model ratings:
Standard Range Batt RWD - 317 ft-lbs, 266 hp
Extended Range Batt RWD - 317 ft-lbs, 290 hp
Standard Range Batt AWD - 428 ft-lbs, 266 hp
Extended range Batt AWD - 428 ft-lbs, 346 hp
another great vehicle review. i still think you are both the best auto review team on YT. just fantastic information.
Nice job Ford.. now sell them w out visiting the dealer and haggle price and add ons.
Visiting the dealer has become the least appealing part of the transaction.
That's because dealerships are privately owned and they only buy the rights to advertise/sell certain brands. They can get away with borderline scamming people, like replacing things that don't really need replaced because they don't make much money on warranty repairs. The markups are there so they can make money and still pay ford their cut. That's why some dealerships are garbage and some are just slightly better than garbage.
@@badgermetal 100%.
Local Ford dealer is selling a Mach E for $15k over and not even a GT. I don't like several things about Tesla, but their direct to consumer model is excellent and should be widely adopted
Amen. This is one of the top 3 reasons why I went with a Model Y. I’m far from a Tesla fanboy but I am just completely over the old dealership business model and all the BS associated with it.
Order the Mach E from Ford and it will be delivered to the dealer for pick-up. The price and payments were all set by Ford, not the dealer. This is an exception for the Mach E it seems. No ADM but no discount either. It was very painless. This was on an ordered Mach E Premium AWD. I have seen the same dealer have ADMs on Shelbys and RSs. It seems that Ford is controlling the Mach E sales channel more rigidly than their other products.
Big wheels look cool but a couple inches makes a huge difference in the performance and ride quality you can eke out of a car with a little more tire!
Zach, a Model Y Perf is $62k. Only options are a other colors for $1k and FSD (Scam) for $10k.
@Nomen Clature included.
Finally, a true throwback to what the original Mustang was all about.
....
that BMW at 10:00 got the coolest drive by shot of all time.
I’ve always thought “ground speed” was in homage to the P51.
After driving the Mach E for a bit, certain functions should be hard buttons. Changing mode, 1 pedal are 2 of them.
When will they just drop the "Mustang" and call it a Ford Mach-e like everyone else does?
The answer is NEVER because the Mustang name stays.
@@RichardJoashTan So what happens when the actual Mustang is offered in EV trim?
@@WilliamStewart1 NOTHING!
@@RichardJoashTan So they won't be able to have a mach 1 mustang again? It's confusing and lazy, all the names they own and this is what they choose, just plain lazy.
@@WilliamStewart1 that’s what I’m saying
Finally an electric car that looks amazing! Really good brakes, mag ride, and nice interior. Not the tesla plastic interior with an I pad
Looks, sounds and probably feels like a rollercoaster.
I’ve been waiting for this review !! Deposit placed a long time ago, delivery still a ways out …. This exercise in patience may break me
I’m suggesting to Ford to allow an update to pump the Propulsion sound through the B&O sound system. It’s way too soft even when your on it, it’s a GT give us the sound to back it up. The propulsion sound base is supposed to be motors amplified with a little bass tone to it and it’s glorious just not even close to loud enough. What an incredible vehicle coming from a Spark EV.
I had the opportunity of very briefly drive a Mach E AWD (not GT) and it just immediately made me love my Mustang GT so much more every time I got behind its wheel. I was very curious to drive the Mach E but I still don't understand how anyone who loves sports car can be satisfied feeling nothing driving an EV except for (in some cases) quick acceleration you just can't do 95% of the time. I am not against EVs as I do see the appeal for the folks for who cars are necessary appliances but I am still not ready to covert to EVs just yet.
Hmmm. So the future of a Mustang is an SUV? Question, instead of a generic car review, what do you guys think of this car having the Mustang badge? Does it ride like a Mustang? Does it feel like a Mustang? Do you feel that little extra as you get behind the wheel? Do you get that sense of exhilaration as you hit the throttle? Does it feel like a GT? Otherwise, it's just a good EV with decent range. Crap! I'm finally getting my S550 and will be getting an S650 before the ICE's are gone.
7:15 Ford should have fun with this propulsion sound for low speeds. They could offer different engine sounds to toggle through (V8, V12, or "The Jetson's" mode).
Flat plane crank. Zack’s coming in hot on a Monday.
Jazz up the walk around with drone views from above.
These are now around 52-54 used with under 10k miles. Is it worth the buy over a regular Mach e ?
How with all the software are you not able to adjust the suspension/steering/throttle independently?
A gauge cluster camera would be nice to get a sense of how fast you are going. Hard to tell when there aren't gear shifts or engine sounds.
No, it's a not a good idea to see the speed...
@@jeremiahshields7827 fair point. These are public roads. Maybe a g-force accelerometer in every car that is reviewed and we could get an idea of how they compare? Idk but something other than just opinions would be nice.
@@badgermetal that’s not a good idea either because some smart person could do calculations to find out how fast there going based on lateral Gs
We pre-ordered the GT Performance during the unveil and a few months ago when Ford sent us an email to finalize our order we decided to cancel it (we were not really sure to want it anymore). But, after having seen a lot of RUclips reviews recently, we totally changed our mind and we will probably get one (or a Rivian R1S).
Hoping they make monster screen slimmer and flip it for 2023/24 models, and angle it towards driver.........plus improve side support on seats on lower models and give us an option to have heat pump.
If there is no sensation of speed, then whats the point?
I like that color!
Hey Matt & Zach! I've been waiting to order my MMEGTP until you all got your hands on one. Everything I had concerns about, the new suspension, the wheel choice, the seats, and more were all things I was curious about. I have one last question in regards to this vehicle. What do you think about the "performance limiting" that happens at higher freeway speeds and extended sportier driving. Does the car suddenly become gutless after an hour or so of canyon carving? Or is it not a deal breaker?
Another channel using Unbridled extend hit thermal limit after TWO laps in a parking lot course. This required a cool down lap before another Lap could be made, repeat... Also still awaiting a 1/4 mile pass in Unbridled, but seems everyone will only show Engaged mode... Why so cryptic?
That would be a huge deal breaker until someone makes tuning software to turn off any and all network communications/nanny modes like you described. Or better yet, just wait and buy an electric vehicle from a company that doesn't try to limit what you can do with it like Tesla does with rebuilt/blacklisted ones. I can't wait till there is a bigger network of aftermarket tuners that can code things to whatever we can imagine. The future will be quiet and really, really quick.
The Mach E GT, like most EV's except Taycan Turbo S, are great 7/10ths cars. I wouldnt buy one to be my sports car. Its a fabulous daily driver and if you had to hit some mountains once in a while, as long as you're not at the limit of adhesion, it's pretty good. But fundamentally a 7/10ths fast freeway car.
@@TheSmokingTire Well put. Go 10/10th in anything this size/weight and you're not going to be on the track that long.
@@TheSmokingTire thank you for the response! I had considered selling my current; one daily and one weekend ICE car and going to a single EV. Really appreciate the insight.
I went to the dealership and they couldn't get me one because of the chip shortage
Ford has knocked this outta the park. Looks exotic and fast as a bat. Can't believe it.
I'm curious how you guys would like the ride on my Mach E Premium EAWD with custom lowering springs I had made and 20x9/20x10.5 with 255/45 and 295/40 tires on it. To me it's amazing but you guys would know better. If you're in Phoenix any time I'd happily meet up.
If you're coming from a Camry or basically any standard ICE car, even a 2nd gen or newer Nissan Leaf's acceleration is going to feel very instant, because comparitavely, it really is instant for aby EV. You get 100% of the torque begining at 0 rpm on an electric motor. Some EVs do have a very slight quarter second delay that i believe is by design
I hate controls on my 2015 Prius and other newer cars I've driven where all the buttons are either almost completely flat or on a screen. There's so little way to use them by just feel and you have to take your eyes off the road and look at them
same price as the macan s and x3m if you option in the gt package, hard to pick it over the german options. i am excited to see the shelby variant
Weird. I just watched your mach-e range test video last night
Does the windshield fall out ? Recall
I spy a Yachtmaster, class piece Matt.
He sports several Rolexes, such as the 50th Anniversary Submariner.
Surprised there wasn't an opening ad for ball shavers that have a Mustang logo printed on the handle ;)
What is the difference between suede and ultra suede?
Call me crazy but those wheels wouldn't look of place on a Ferrari.
Ok…I’ll call you crazy. 😂
I’m not a fan but they can be replaced.
Maybe it’s different from the driver seat but that hood seems unnecessarily high given there’s no ICE under there. Although it doesn’t look nearly as nice, the sloped hood of a tesla offers some awesome visibility.
haha Sand Canyon
I low sided on that road right where they are @14:30
I've never owned an electric vehicle - This is by far the most entertaining of the ones I'd consider. Can we answer the question, though- Can it be upgraded to go faster? Obviously asking if the software would allow for an even more bonkers mode, or the addition of additional electric power. Is this common in the underground world for electrics??
Also - does this particular vehicle allow for the "sound" of an engine via the sound system? If so, will it do it while listening to music, too?
Everyone always want the samt things so why not just put in a "individual" mode were you can set all the parameters to you're liking?
Not sure if I like the road or the car their driving on, both are awesome!
Perfect Video! So glad you actually got the GT with the Performance Pack unlike Douge
Drove the Mach E but wasn't impressed by the speed especially at speed and stepping on it.I was about to pull the trigger but figured resale will be horrible and I truly want the lightning. Sticker on the E was 46 but you get 2500 in Texas rebates plus 7500 government so for a 36k SUV it's definitely one of the best optioned and nice for that price range.The 1 pedal drive will almost throw you through the windshield
I agree with the climate controls,.. I have the same issue with the 12in screen in my 21 EDGE..
I pre-ordered a Premium RWD big battery Mach E immediately after the unveiling. After catching a test ride on a similarly speced demo I cancelled. Those seats and the pogo suspension were just awful. Maybe I should look at the GT?
9:57 when you are caught on video attempting to rip it
So if you love these seats so much, order them for yourself, I can’t imagine they would charge you that much for a pair of fronts… the mag ride would be a pain to adapt, but the seats would be bolt on
Is it me or is the audio and video ever so slightly out of sync ?
I think so
Great video guys!
I bought a base too. It just makes too much sense and it's still zippy and fun as hell to drive and look at. 20k extra for fun is a whooollleeee lotta money
@TheSmokingTire Hi Guys, I was wondering if you tried any high speed passing and noticed a large drop in acceleration like that has been posted on the forums? The car seems to do the 1/4 pretty quick (mid 12's) but a really low trap speed of just over 100 mph. In the video you were on a the tighter section but don't know if you took it out on any long straight sections.
Totally agree! Quite alot of cars steering Videogamie! Yes,that what we think in 2021 of a steering feel from a 50k car!!
Will the GT350 model have fake crossplane sound?
Loved the review. I'm headed to LA next week to drive around in a rented sports car. What road is this?
Angeles crest
Would love to see Farahs take on the Plaid w/ the upgraded interior and the 3 motor performance
Explorer ST Performance is like 50k$. 450bhp 4wd hybrid and looks stunning. No idea how anyone would pick mach-e over it.
Better real world performance, very refined in terms of drivability, far cheaper running costs. Personally I think most people with a house or convenient charging options would be better served with an EV for the vast majority of their driving.
Yeah right most suv are over 50k$ but yeah with a tune the st is insane + 500hp. Cars are just so expensive its not even feasible to buy for 3/4 of America anymore. I actually went used after trading in my ford and got a used low miles dodge scatpack for 40. Got that hp range i wanted without spending +60 grand

That is the single biggest complaint I have about Ford products, you simply cannot configure your cars anymore. There are no options. I mean, interior colour? Wheels? Leather seats? It's killing me, I would love a Mach-E (GT), but I'm not going to shell out this amount of money on a car I don't get (almost) exactly the way I want it.
Would you rather have Mach E Premium Extended AWD or Tesla Model Y Long Range
Looks pretty cool but will miss the 5.0 sound and feel.
You can still buy a non-electric car...
@@jamesd7678 until 2030 in new York and ca
I’m disappointed they’re pulling power in the 1/4 mile apparently because of battery longevity concerns. You should be able to use the full power of the vehicle for a few passes.
also Ford has to protect the performance halo cars like GT500 and Ford GT. but regardless of this common practice, the average crossover buyer doesn’t worry about quarter mile speed.
@@xrmerkur there have always been bragging rights, same with Mustang vs camaro even if the owners never actually race them. This is a fast car, it just isn’t Tesla fast.
Just shows how bad battery tech still is , but the NPCs that drive EVs don't care about longevity because they are mainly leased 😂
@@VaunShiz shows how bad Fords battery tech is.
@@xrmerkur if they want people to accept it as a Mustang it needs to do Mustang things and do them well. Plenty of people out their drag racing Teslas.
Now that’s a real color for a mustang. I hated that powder blue version that I see all the time.
Overall I loved the review and I wish my parents had the budget to buy something like this but I really hated that Matt totally glazed over Blue Cruise without ever trying it. Like WTF?! I can understand not liking semi-autonomous driving AFTER trying it but not without ever even trying it in the first place. Unless he has it in his daily Mach-E, that remark and stance on Blue Cruise makes no sense.
It makes sense if you enjoy driving and take pride in your ability to control your vehicle. Most people don’t pay attention, don’t understand proper car dynamics, never heard of apexes and have never looked ahead of the car in front of them while driving. THOSE people need autonomous driving… or Uber.
I’ll wait in couple of years till they get all the bug out from this car same thing with there Bronco advertising is good and tempting. I’ll let everyone go first.
I would still take a Model Y over a Ford any day. The lack of charging infrastructure for anything non-Tesla makes the decision easy.
You’re right that is a huge differentiator ….but…they’ve announced they are sharing their network with other makers. Can’t see why they are conceding this huge advantage . They must be serious about their mission … they want the world to move to electric. It’s not all about money.
@@MrSpuzzz they announced it due to pressure from government. If I was a betting man I would guess that the $/Kw won’t be cheap for non-Tesla.
@@gman3725 European govt, right? They don’t face the same pressure in US do they?
@@MrSpuzzz I’ll bet the do behind the scenes.
I agree. Plus the MYP with very little mods keeps up with cars twice the price.
I would love to see why the power ramps down so much after 60. It is slower in the 1/4 than the Y but makes the same power
So basically it's a GT for 5 seconds. Then it turns back to a base model.
seats of new cars have big balls ters...they are almost like after market
Matt, did you ever imagine yourself saying that ICE vehicles feel unrefined? haha
Getting 3.0 miles / kWh = 270 mile range.
During _normal, everyday_ driving with a 2023 MME GT PE,
I get anywhere from 3.1 to 3.8~ (average 3.35~) miles / kWh.
Range is actually quite pessimistic in my experience.
You do a commercial yourself...you have ads and I feel like you are working for the major car makers these days.
Hey Matt, what timepieces were you both rocking that day? Lately feels like you'd be starting to get sponsorship from Watch Gang or something similar.
Man I love hatchbacks and wagons…. The idea of a mustang hatchback or wagon is really appealing to me but there’s something that car will always be missing that mustangs have always been known for…. Sound.
If electric cars made some kind of crazy ass sound I’d be down but until then I just can’t wait till someone voodoo swaps this thing
I don't wanna sound like a jerk because I love TST but these seem to make for extremely bland reviews wherever I go. I hope these still garner equivalent views because I love these channels but nearly everyone commenting on each is waiting on one or already has it, and I don't know how sustainable that is view count wise.
You want crazt sound, mod it yourself. It's electric. Wire in some boat speakers under the hood and a cheap 20 buck computer to play whatever sounds you want.
Looks like it’s going incredibly fast. No sound always odd.
Ford's always been the best always will be.
ROFL
It seems nice, but I'm sticking with my V8 for as long as possible.

An electric 5 door Mustang is not a Mustang.
well actually none of the previous five generations were Mustang’s either. it wasn’t until the 6th Gen 2015 S550 platform that a dedicated Mustang would be credited. Ford also states the Mach E was built new from the ground up. Mustang is no longer singular, it expanded into a brand. The Mach E is a Mustang too…

@@stiqman I appreciate your perspective, but from my calculations there has only been two true Mustang’s, and the Mach E being one of them:
-1st Generation Mustang was created from the Ford Falcon.
-2nd Gen Mustang was created from the Ford Pinto
-3rd Gen was created from the Fairmont (foxbody)
-4th Gen derived from a modified foxbody aka Fox-4 code SN-95
-5th S-197 used D2D platform designed based from Lincoln LS (DEW)
-6th S-550 dedicated Mustang platform, also available in right drive for overseas.
-Mach E is a diversified EV Mustang (crossover market)
@@stiqman well thats only your opinion. Ford has another one, and guess whats more important. They invented the mustang brand, they decide.
@@davidbrind5274 you’re truly passionate about Mustang tradition and 56 years of heritage. i greatly respect that David. if you had said “Not A Mustang” to me over a year ago i’d probably denied the name too. however since then i’ve seen these vehicles driving around for multiple months with manufacturers plates all around metro Detroit. recently i’ve had a Mach E test drive, and plenty new owners are taking delivery. now i have seen, touched and experienced the Mach E. i’m accepting Fords decision to expand the Mustang brand. If all goes well $$$, i’ll add an electric pony to the stable. Ford is a huge presence in my community and wish them much success. i commend them for making a brave introduction into the EV market. believe me, all this SUV dominance is difficult to embrace too. winners aren’t always the best, sometimes just the most popular.
Dude, not everyone lives in California. Up north we need AWD, and would NEVER buy or drive an RWD SUV in the winter. That’s ludicrous (unbridled +)
Mexico builds nice cars!
Isn’t the Premium RWD long range 290 hp not 346?
Those wheels are sick tho
In Canada and optioned out this is $89,530. It's just too damn expensive.
Bro if u have a rwd it's only 290hp not 346hp
It’s a cool car but please owners, don’t take it to a track or a drag strip, not good with the whole battery overheat thing.
For a daily driver it’s very cool, still limited by a substandard charging network but that’s usually only 5% of most drives anyway so not really a huge deal. Ford issue right now is actually making cars. I have a Ranger on order as a work truck because I could not get a Maverick in any form at all.
