    What they're now calling the "Police Engine Idle" feature that allows you to remove the key and keep the engine running was a standard feature Ford included on the 1986 Ford Taurus I had when I was a kid. Gotta love the Ford marketing team.

      I had a 1991 Mercury Sable and I am pretty sure that's just a poorly designed or worn out ignition system.
      I say this because my car did the same thing and it didn't feel like a planned feature. I could turn the engine off, put the car in auxiliary mode, pull the key out, and then turn the ignition to start the car.

      who cares, i dont understand why tesla people act so smug. just literally talk shit just to talk shit. some police departments are located in areas where there are no charging networks. plus the waiting time to charge so they cant take any emergencies. where as gas only takes a couple of mins.
      there is pros and cons to each ICE or EV automobiles and each department do studies to figure out which is better for them
      like where i live the closest charging station is over 150 miles away

      As a retired Crown Vic user, the Fusion Responder Special Service was just as quick. I liked it a lot. And for what I did, it fit the bill. Too bad a sedan hybrid isn’t important enough for Ford. Can The Mach E operate 16 hours or 2 duty shifts? It would probably do better as a Chief’s car or maybe detective car.
      (My personal car is. 2019 Fusion Energi. I bought it because of the success we had with the Crown Vic and Fusions. We also had 4 trucks and 3 Explorers in the fleet. Very dependable units)
