**Hello all!** First disclaimer: when the rear door bumps out, it can't go back in unless it is moved. But as you can see at 5:30 in the video, if you do move it out of that bumped position, it can now go back to closing. To me, this leaves the possibility of pinched fingers.

I think I saw a review where the front doors have that bump lock out feature also, but yes, that's a recall waiting to happen especially considering kids are going to be using those rear seats.
According to Ford they asked parents and kids to open the back doors with door handles and exactly zero kids used the door handle and 90% of adults did the same. That’s why on the inside of the door there is a rubber pad for your fingers.
I thought that you did an awesome review and the picture and the sound were great! Thank you so much for your unbiased quick review. I own a Tesla Model 3 and I would be proud to make this my second electric car. Second until something better than Tesla’s charging network is bested.

Agreed. It may (or may not) be a nice SUV, but why drag the Mustang name into the SUV arena?? Makes no sense. I thought this was actually going to be a Mustang! Can you imagine how fast an electric Mustang would be? Legendary fast. But what did we get? Another crossover. Ford shoots itself in the foot again. Their aim seems to be getting better, too. They want to cripple themselves. Must be a tax write-off of some kind.
I finally received mine last week. Since I have had it, people come up and say, "is that a Mustang?" No one so far has said, "it's not a Mustang". There are a lot of people who don't watch car reviews on TH-cam, so people are seeing the Mach-E for the first time since it is so new. People have literally stopped their car, roll down their windows and examine the car. Regardless of what it's called, Ford did a great job with this car, and I do believe it is a true Mustang.
I wish it was a low car and made it look more rocking. right now it looks like ford is playing safe with it. The sport car and suv is now getting an even blurrier line.

I'm convinced that the door keypad is the most underrated feature in the car industry. Never have to carry your keys in your pocket, a safe place to leave your phone/wallet etc etc. Every single car should have it
Until someone steal the items inside because you left greasy fingerprints on a door frame that’s otherwise clean. (Talking from experience lol) It’s pretty easy to guess these pins with only 5 combinations on 5 buttons, the trick is to smudge your finger on other digits whenever you can, or always keep it clean.

A guy named Jim Farley was asked by the CEO of Ford (Jim Hackett) to get directly involved in the design process and re-imagine what, at the time, was just another drab, compliance BEV (battery electric vehicle) with little personality or spirit. Farley pushed to re-design that drab compliance vehicle and fold it into the fabled Mustang line-up. Oh, and he was recently promoted to CEO. ;)
In case you didn't notice, its like the only car that exists anymore; its all anyone is building these days, other than trucks. I mean, even porsche, lambo and even ferrari have built them---- plus look at the jeep trackhawk, trail blazer, explorer, durango, Acura MDX, Rave4, Honda CRV, cadillar xt4, Audi q5, BMW x3, Lexus NX, Volvo XC60, Kia sportage, nissian rogue, Telsa model Y, and on and on and on... they are all basically the same car, its crazy, but that is just what people are buying.
Great video, Jason. I actually like this slightly rougher more organic style above the more polished videos. For some reason - maybe your need for speed, maybe you really were excited about the car - but this video really conveyed your enthusiasm and energy, moreso than other videos. Looking forward to seeing your impressions on how this drives. All the best to you and all of your fellow fans of what you do.
Yeah.. I just call it "ford Mach-E.. its not a mustang. Now in the future when they get smart and put this same set up into an actual "Mustang body--- Then I'll call it a mustang.
I know right, why didn't they call it the Thunderbird or Cougar, this new generation of soccer mom would have been all over it, okay maybe not the Cougar name, because reasons, but you get the point!
Its what they should have done. The mustang purists wont buy it. Teslas suv is better so people who want an electric car will more likely go with that. Im not sure who they made the mach-e for?
@@tyler60904 ford isn't even looking at the purist as their buyer, and its their first try on making an electric car. Even if it is worst than the model y, some people might still prefer the design and the uniqueness of the Ford. Take the taycan for example, its worst than the competition which is the model s, but it's still selling. Also more option is better as it pushes manufacturers to push their technology to the max.
@@Keoponloeu ford has a pretty long history working with electric cars, they just never made one people wanted or one that could replace gas cars. People who like mustang dont consider this a mustang. You dont think suv when saying mustang. I understand why they did it this way. Mustangs are small and light, so ford cant use a battery thats small enough or has enough range, since they dont make proprietary batteries. Thats why they went suv instead, but then people will think they are ripping off the mustang name, cuz they are. Its just not a mustang. Competition is good i agree. But they should have started with their trucks and suv's
They could have named it anything else--anything at all--and I would have welcomed it. Diluting the Mustang name to market a product so alien to the badge pisses me off to the point I will never buy it.
@@NeoHCgbz Honesty and integrity? The marketing was the same, the end goal is to sell a product. I don’t think anything about the 1960’s screams honesty and integrity. Look up the marketing of backyard swimming pools to see honesty and integrity. They rose in popularity as a consequence of desegregation, because whites didn’t want to share public pools with blacks. Integrity in marketing GTFO!
I have a 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid. Level of noise in cabin is too high on freeway. Okay on city street. Could you do some rigorous research? What should owners do? sound deaden floors, or doors, or roof, or trunk, or hood? Or just door seal? I'm sure many many readers will appreciate your work.
There Will probably be perfect speaker imitation sounds available then. You know like sport cars already do to some point because of co2 regulations forcing manufacturers to use less cylinders.
I have a 2018 type r and the touch screen lcd is so trash... music air conditioning everything has to be done through the same unresponsive screen. It takes like three seconds just to register your touch
It seems pretty lazy to me. I can't imagine the designers spent more than 3 seconds deciding to glue an iPad on a blank dashboard, especially since that's what most other EVs do with their interiors as well. Hard to get passionate about EVs when even their designers clearly don't care.
I like on the “tablet” center console that the essential “buttons” aren’t buried in sub menus. I recently rode in a Grand Cherokee and to adjust things like temperature you had to click thru other menus to get to it and then if you wanted to switch back to things like infotainment, you had to go back thru it. I HATE that. I want there to be as little fidgeting around as possible. I actually might prefer the non touch screen, control with a small dial control in a super convenient spot like right by the center console armrest. I still prefer all the tactile buttons, knobs, dials over touch screen, but keeping those essentials always there is a good step for me.
Not having buttons and dials for basic functions should be illegal. Once you know where the controls are then your eyes don't need to leave the road to change songs, volume, radio station, etc.
The keypad is pretty clutch. I have it on my 2018 Fusion and it’s one of the best features on any Ford. I totally second your opinion it should be on every car. I ordered a Tesla M3 about a month ago and I know I’ll miss that feature.
But it does have the "you will quickly drown in this car if you enter the water" as nothing will work, including the windows, doors, and you will be unable to find your handy escape tool in the 90 seconds you have to safely get out...

Great review of an interesting new vehicle. Having worked in the fuel ethanol production industry for a portion of my career, I always got the "it takes more energy to make than it gives" argument (which is far from true) back in the day. I always said "we've had about 20 years to optimize our process while the oil guys have had 150. We've made tremendous process optimizations of the ethanol process and the car people are doing the same in that there's now an arms race of sort to get these e-cars sorted. On a separate note, my eyes kept coming back to the wide flange beam in the garage with no fire protection, either spray on or 2x's, on it.
The door handles look totally inadequate for anyone wearing gloves in the winter. A smooth appearance isn't worth much if a person is constantly fumbling with the damn thing and swearing at it just to get in.

An electric mustang wouldn't have been that bad, but this Ford using the mustang name to sell an electric brick. It's an SUV grocery getter for people with lots of money and little taste, in all seriousness Ford will sell tons of these simply because these are the times we live in.
I'm still not sold on the Mustang name on a vehicle that's far, far from what a Mustang was and still is. Names aside, it looks pretty decent. Maybe like a Tesla and Mustang had a baby.
I agree. i like the car, but I wish it didn't have the Mustang badge. I guess they are using it to draw attention to it, but it doesn't look like a Mustang to me.
The Mustang started out with great looks but they left in the 80's, came back in the 2000's but with this thing they checked out clombed in a casket and said "bury me". Rest in peace Mustang.
At least the Corvette is still s car. And a terrific looking one at that.

Farley pushed to re-design that drab compliance vehicle and fold it into the fabled Mustang line-up. Oh, and he was recently promoted to CEO. ;)
@@samuelwilliams8560 sad decisions...
Mainly because Ford aren't selling cars anymore
In case you didn't notice, its like the only car that exists anymore; its all anyone is building these days, other than trucks. I mean, even porsche, lambo and even ferrari have built them---- plus look at the jeep trackhawk, trail blazer, explorer, durango, Acura MDX, Rave4, Honda CRV, cadillar xt4, Audi q5, BMW x3, Lexus NX, Volvo XC60, Kia sportage, nissian rogue, Telsa model Y, and on and on and on... they are all basically the same car, its crazy, but that is just what people are buying.
My question exactly
"(...) my wife (...)"
Time flies huh? Loving to see you doing great Jason, awesome review.
Where's the wedding ring?
Great video, Jason. I actually like this slightly rougher more organic style above the more polished videos. For some reason - maybe your need for speed, maybe you really were excited about the car - but this video really conveyed your enthusiasm and energy, moreso than other videos.
Looking forward to seeing your impressions on how this drives.
All the best to you and all of your fellow fans of what you do.
More like "electric Ford Mach-E"
Yes. Absolutely
Dont know why they used Mustang trademark.
Wait....I know exactly why they used it :D
Back is ugly tho.
Yeah.. I just call it "ford Mach-E.. its not a mustang.
Now in the future when they get smart and put this same set up into an actual "Mustang body--- Then I'll call it a mustang.
I would have called it the Pinto
@@bentullett6068 pinto is a better fit
It looks pretty good, especially in the electric vehicle "segment" but it shouldn't be called a mustang......
Yes. True.
I don't care. You aren't thinking ahead.
Why? In the future electric cars will be the only new ones sold. Already planned in Europe
You are holding the Mustang name far to precious.
I know right, why didn't they call it the Thunderbird or Cougar, this new generation of soccer mom would have been all over it, okay maybe not the Cougar name, because reasons, but you get the point!
Its a cool car but its not a Mustang, it should get its own name or call it an Edge Mach E
E-Fusion or Galax-E
It looks like a Mazda
I think with everyone's short attention spans in this brave new world, the changing angle helps us focus.
Somehow I expected a literal mustangs just electric... this has proven me wrong
Its what they should have done. The mustang purists wont buy it. Teslas suv is better so people who want an electric car will more likely go with that. Im not sure who they made the mach-e for?
@@tyler60904 ford isn't even looking at the purist as their buyer, and its their first try on making an electric car. Even if it is worst than the model y, some people might still prefer the design and the uniqueness of the Ford. Take the taycan for example, its worst than the competition which is the model s, but it's still selling. Also more option is better as it pushes manufacturers to push their technology to the max.
@@Keoponloeu ford has a pretty long history working with electric cars, they just never made one people wanted or one that could replace gas cars. People who like mustang dont consider this a mustang. You dont think suv when saying mustang. I understand why they did it this way. Mustangs are small and light, so ford cant use a battery thats small enough or has enough range, since they dont make proprietary batteries. Thats why they went suv instead, but then people will think they are ripping off the mustang name, cuz they are. Its just not a mustang. Competition is good i agree. But they should have started with their trucks and suv's
@@tyler60904 but like is anyone that isn’t a car enthusiast gunna care if it’s a mustang or not.....no I don’t think.
@@Keoponloeu im not saying it wont sell, im saying it would be better if they went the other direction instead.

Mustang is clearly just a name now. It looks like a Kia SUV.
They could have named it anything else--anything at all--and I would have welcomed it. Diluting the Mustang name to market a product so alien to the badge pisses me off to the point I will never buy it.

@@NeoHCgbz Honesty and integrity? The marketing was the same, the end goal is to sell a product. I don’t think anything about the 1960’s screams honesty and integrity. Look up the marketing of backyard swimming pools to see honesty and integrity. They rose in popularity as a consequence of desegregation, because whites didn’t want to share public pools with blacks. Integrity in marketing GTFO!
I have a 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid. Level of noise in cabin is too high on freeway. Okay on city street. Could you do some rigorous research? What should owners do? sound deaden floors, or doors, or roof, or trunk, or hood? Or just door seal?
I'm sure many many readers will appreciate your work.
As far as 'filming in this style' - I didn't even notice until you mentioned it.
I want TIE fighter noises in electric cars
Looking at Ford hybrids, this one might explode like a TIE fighter too

There Will probably be perfect speaker imitation sounds available then. You know like sport cars already do to some point because of co2 regulations forcing manufacturers to use less cylinders.
@@nothingsurprisesmeanymore maybe you haven't heard, but private flying devices are available.
Still don't think a touchscreen dash is an "upgrade."
I have a 2018 type r and the touch screen lcd is so trash... music air conditioning everything has to be done through the same unresponsive screen. It takes like three seconds just to register your touch
It seems pretty lazy to me. I can't imagine the designers spent more than 3 seconds deciding to glue an iPad on a blank dashboard, especially since that's what most other EVs do with their interiors as well.
Hard to get passionate about EVs when even their designers clearly don't care.
At least there is an independent speedo. I really don't like the Tesla 3 setup.
The keypad is the best, I have it in my F-150
Love the key pad on my Ford F-150
I like on the “tablet” center console that the essential “buttons” aren’t buried in sub menus. I recently rode in a Grand Cherokee and to adjust things like temperature you had to click thru other menus to get to it and then if you wanted to switch back to things like infotainment, you had to go back thru it. I HATE that. I want there to be as little fidgeting around as possible. I actually might prefer the non touch screen, control with a small dial control in a super convenient spot like right by the center console armrest. I still prefer all the tactile buttons, knobs, dials over touch screen, but keeping those essentials always there is a good step for me.
Yes, this is the thing we hate most about our Chrysler which probably has the same infotainment system (U connect).
Not having buttons and dials for basic functions should be illegal. Once you know where the controls are then your eyes don't need to leave the road to change songs, volume, radio station, etc.
@@xidarian The car can change channels, songs etc. using the Synch button.

I use my Ford keypad all the time. I love that Ford does that
The quality of the video is more than acceptable. You wouldn't have mentionned it that i wouldn't noticed it. Good job for the info.
Mustang??? This is a big all electric Focus...
The current Chevy Blazer is more similar to a Camaro than this "Mustang" is to a real Mustang.
I like the car...I just protest the electric wagon being a Mustang. I know Ford hates cars at this point but just call it the Mach-E
Blah blah get over it boomer lol
No worries for the "vlog style" shooting, up to me at least, of course it's better otherwise, but still very decent
I'm just thankful it's not vertical video
The Mach-E is to the Ford Mustang what the Last Jedi/Rise of Skywalker is to Star Wars.
accurate. It's the difference between TLJ/ROS Luke Skywalker vs Expanded Universe Luke Skywalker.
The keypad is pretty clutch. I have it on my 2018 Fusion and it’s one of the best features on any Ford. I totally second your opinion it should be on every car. I ordered a Tesla M3 about a month ago and I know I’ll miss that feature.
The exterior keypad is awesome! Love it on my F250
The rear door has a padded spot to grab open it about 8" lower than where you grabbed it, slightly more comfortable
Thanks for pointing this out!
Here's why I love the internet :-).
The "Jetson-mobile" sound isn't an option? Bummer!
But it does have the "you will quickly drown in this car if you enter the water" as nothing will work, including the windows, doors, and you will be unable to find your handy escape tool in the 90 seconds you have to safely get out...

😂I don't make the rules! Haha, there's already video reviews of 2022 models at this point!
@Foxtrot Oscar it's a carmaker thing. I took delivery of my 2013 Audi in August of 2012.
@@tylerpubben4216 Volvo did the same. They introduced the new models in the autumn, and named them +1 year model. Which made sense because by the time first buyers got their vehicle, it was actually +1 year january.
I like the way you filmed this video. Feels more personal and allows for some quirky camerawork which I can appreciate.
The filming was fine! Thanks for your evaluation of the Mach-E
The 5-1/2” ground clearance will prevent thieves from getting at the Catalytic Converter😉

Filming quality was great 👍. Definitely wouldn’t mind if you had more vids done in this style. The content and your insight is what I watch your videos for. Great work
The filming style is fine for good quick info as long as you don't start doing too much of them. We like your in-depth whiteboard videos as well as your driving review videos. A nice balance of all the different styles of videos you've done is my recommendation. That keeps it from seeming like the same old thing on every video. Plus keep up the teaching and learning part of it.
Had NO problem watching this Video and enjoying the heck out of it! keep it going sir... love the channel!!
Haaa - yes, I had a 1980 Thunderbird that had that keypad! Was a great feature. Surprising that other manufacturers have never done it.
Tbh the Mach E should have been called a thunderbird
Absolutely love the keypads.
@@QuickQuips Honestly, that would have been a much better way to market it than borrowing the Mustang name which makes zero sense.
Nissan used to have them, as one example.
@@smithiness which Nissan?
I liked the way this was filmed, excellent presentation, good flow, and lots of great information.
The filming quality was great! Save yourself the time and enjoy it!
Freehand video was definitely better than no video, but when time allows I do prefer the tripod. Image quality and audio was fine.
I find it very acceptable filming the way you did it.. great job, Your overview of the mack-e has been better than some of the other TH-camrs. In fact it makes me a bit more interested in it over the CYBERTRUCK if only it could tow my camper..
The 2021 Sienna has 6.2" of ground clearance and AWD. It's more SUV than the Mach-E.
The frunk has those compartments so that they don't have to install a release from the inside, something something hostages.
But they did install a release on the inside.
Yeah it's mandatory, no matter how big the trunk is... Look at the Ford GT supercar "trunk"
The release is electric. When someone is inside and the battery fails , one cant get out !
@@xaty1808 normally the releases have some kind of lever
I thought the fake compartments was a loophole to avoid the interior release. That's what it usually is
Cool, but I don't get why they're using the Mustang name with a four door vehicle like this
Because they are about to go out of business. This mustang, is a death cry.
I gotta give you props for doing a pretty fair review for being a Tesla owner, usually it's how much it sucks cause it's not like my Tesla
Great review of an interesting new vehicle. Having worked in the fuel ethanol production industry for a portion of my career, I always got the "it takes more energy to make than it gives" argument (which is far from true) back in the day. I always said "we've had about 20 years to optimize our process while the oil guys have had 150. We've made tremendous process optimizations of the ethanol process and the car people are doing the same in that there's now an arms race of sort to get these e-cars sorted.
On a separate note, my eyes kept coming back to the wide flange beam in the garage with no fire protection, either spray on or 2x's, on it.

For Canadian winters when ice sheets cover your entire doors, there is no way to open the rear door from the outside.
Tip: clear the crap out of your garage and put the car there.
The door handles look totally inadequate for anyone wearing gloves in the winter. A smooth appearance isn't worth much if a person is constantly fumbling with the damn thing and swearing at it just to get in.
@@truantray For Canadian workaholics when you think about going home from work but a sheet of ice formed over your car in the parking lot and you get stuck at work
You prewarm the vehicle... should melt off frost and ice from windshield, headlights, wipers and doors/handles
Which brings up the ridiculousness of needing buttons to get in when we all have a phone. The excuse that you can go to the beach and leave your phone in the car is silly. No one goes to the beach and leaves their phone in the car! If I wanted to do that I would just bring my Tesla key card - it's waterproof, sandproof and totally flat.

An electric mustang
That is a SIN
Lord have mercy.
I had a 2016 5.0 convertible and my new model y would blow the doors off it. In the summer I'll miss the convertible I'm sure but so far really liking my Tesla. I'm on my way to the ski hill right now posting a message with auto steer on in my AWD rocket that I can enjoy year round. Just one opinion.
I think it being a SUV/crossover is the bigger sin.
An electric mustang wouldn't have been that bad, but this Ford using the mustang name to sell an electric brick. It's an SUV grocery getter for people with lots of money and little taste, in all seriousness Ford will sell tons of these simply because these are the times we live in.
I'm still not sold on the Mustang name on a vehicle that's far, far from what a Mustang was and still is. Names aside, it looks pretty decent. Maybe like a Tesla and Mustang had a baby.
I agree. i like the car, but I wish it didn't have the Mustang badge. I guess they are using it to draw attention to it, but it doesn't look like a Mustang to me.
We need more good EVs, and this is one. I'm on board if it helps sell them.
I have the GT Performance Edition in Grabber Blue. I love it. On the track and in the canyons its fun.
Picture & sound quality were great 👍 thanks for not making a boring review.
Asking “why is this called a Mustang” = lazy and unoriginal take.
The Mustang started out with great looks but they left in the 80's, came back in the 2000's but with this thing they checked out clombed in a casket and said "bury me". Rest in peace Mustang.
At least the Corvette is still s car. And a terrific looking one at that.
Chevy's Corvette game changer= Fantastic
Ford's Mustang game changer=Fail
I have always Loved the Mustang - 69 Mach 1 is my favorite Car. I am liking the Corvette more and more. I know Ford sais they are not dropping the current platform at this time but we know that is a heavy "Yet".
Honestly, I really don't mind the Electric but hate the crossover part. Why didn't they call it the "Stallion Mach E"
I started laughing, bellowing actually, about the spare tire situation. Oh man... My sides are a bit sore after that one.
Camera quality is fine. We aren't looking at action or nature shots, so no worries. Thanks for sharing. Happy new year.
Having the frunk is wayyy better than no frunk. Makes it much more appealing than the ID.4
