The Grabber Blue looks more like Robins Egg Blue. Was it really bright out that day, with no way to correct it back to reality? Personally, I would never choose the GT over the GTPE. The latter gets you the Magneride suspension, which (I understand) provides quite an improvement in ride quality. It also ditches the tulip rims in favor of the much nicer hairpin design. For those of us that get winter weather, adding a set of good winter tires will add to the total cost, but then you get the summer tire performance and winter tire performance when appropriate. I'm looking forward to the day when prices and wait times come back to reasonable!
My wife has an MME. She preferred the styling of the MME to that of the Tesla and at the time with incentives the MME appeared to be about $20k less. She is very happy with the MME and thinks if's one of the best looking cars on the road. I seriously doubt she would have gone for a 2 door version of a Mustang even if it was electric. 4 doors and AWD can't be had on any Mustang but the MME. Prior to the MME she had a 2020 Bolt and absolutely hated it. The Bolt only had 15k miles on it when traded. Looks like it was a good time to trade as the Bolt dropped many thousands in price days after she traded it and we got more than the new list price in trade. We still get OnStar updates on the Bolt and 5 month later it appears to have not been resold. It only gets about 2 mile per month. The Bolt has no appeal other than being a cheap electric, but at the time the option in our area were very limited.
Nice looking ride. At a starting price of $62K (for the 2022, not 23) it’s in the >6 yr loan / don’t save for retirement / >200,000 income segment of transportation. Another near unobtainium. It’s a shame Ford can only make hybrids affordable.
The Mach-E is a cool looking EV that does everything a good long range EV should do. The GT takes the good looks up another notch but the problem is that the GT's top-end performance lets it down. It was marketed as a track-capable performance crossover to compete against the Model Y Performance. Instead, it's a fun one-trick pony that accelerates up to 80mph really fast but has no business on a track.
But it is still way faster than 99% of people want and it looks so, so much better and priced better to boot! Plus you do not have to finance that putz Elon.
@@USNEM The miles per KW figure is important and the Mach-E has to use a huge battery pack to brute force it's way into having the range it does. The lack of a heat pump will hurt it in winter. I like the Mach-E but more attention to efficiency would have allowed Ford to use a smaller, less expensive, and lighter battery pack to achieve the same or better range, and the result would have been a better car and more profits for Ford.
Consumer reports did a comparison in 3 types of weather with a Model Y LR. In all instances, the Mach E equaled the Model Y LR and exceeded its EPA estimate. The Model Y was about 20% below the EPA estimate of 320+ miles. What everyone said above is true, Tesla’s EPA estimates are not real world. Though the Tesla is more efficient, it loses out on battery size and that factor makes these 2 vehicles effectively the same range wise. The difference is the cost of running them; with a smaller battery, the Model Y LR is cheaper. If you want Ford and not a GT, the RT1 will beat the Model Y hands down on range.
The price including all of the options and destination charge is 64,000. But after adding the dealer “market adjustment” that the Tesla doesn’t have, the price is $84,000, making the Tesla a much better value. With Tesla, the advertised price is what you actually pay. With Ford, you are subject to exorbitant dealer markups.
Actually, you just order the Mach-E online or at the dealer and you get MSRP. I've bought two Mach-Es via the online order system and both were at MSRP.
@@MachE_VLOG I went to Galpin Ford in LA, who claims to be the largest volume Ford dealer in the world. The ones they had in the showroom were marked up by $20k. Same with the Sasquatch optioned Bronco’s with 35 inch tires.
I didn't like a Mach-E when it first came out but now i own one 🙃. In SoCal there's tons of Teslas so MME is definitely unique.

Winter tires / wheels have proven nearly if not completely impossible with the GT because of those brake calipers, fyi.
My cards are turned off so I do not see your 70mph link, please always post in your description... Looks like a sweet ride!
My cards are turned on and I didn’t see the card he mentioned or a link in the description
He didn’t add it in lol

0 to 80 in 48 minutes is a joke, I hope ford makes a new version that has better charging.

You can get a select for 48k - 7500 tax credit gets you in low 40s.
Just paid 52 for a 23 Gt performance (71k original sticker) and 0% interest. They can’t sell them and are dealing
@@jimhimesjr Wow! Unfortunately still a bit out of my range, but still an impressive reduction and holy cow low loan cost! Enjoy!!
Good review. Please lose the background music going forward.
4:36 48 mins is more than twice as slow as the current competition. this is not fast.
It was good until the E-GMP platform came out.

That’s a 2021, not a 2022.
I really, really dont like those rims.
Agreed, to me they look like something that would be standard on a Prius :)
It fast charges too slowly but otherwise pretty nice.
The Mach-E has the biggest battery in it's class...and the poorest range! Efficiency is important.
It is still very acceptable. As a bonus Ford does not lie about the range like Tesla!
Mach E actually surpasses its EPA range........unlike some other car manufacturers that lie and NEVER get close to EPA range.....lol

Stop spreading fake news......if you order a Mach E you don't pay over MSRP. Go read a book.

@@ldmcnutt I'll say it again. Go order one and you'll get it at MSRP. Simple.
