Ty for ur great videos, I'm actually signed up for mach-e back in Feb but still w8ing for it ( every day its getting postponed :/ ). i have a question for u, if u can test it out on mach-e, i checked all over internet couldn't find it. what would happen if u ignore the hands free alarm ( the eyes on the road error) , what would happen if u ignore that alarm for long time? i saw Tesla slow down the car and put in park with emergency lights on after 3 alarm ignored. Ty
Thanks for watching I appreciate it! Yea I have another one ordered since December and still don’t even have a build date so it may take a while longer.. yes it has a similar feature where it will slow down to a stop I’ll try to make a video showing how it does that
Thank you. I recommend you charge to 85% for better battery health. I like the Ford Mach-E, and especially the AWD model since it is safer. I hope they add a solar panel standard. None of the Teslas come with a solar panel yet, so may be if Ford did that, it would help inspire them. A solar panel could not just add some range each day, but help keep the temperature cooler in the summer.
How is the vehicle in cabin quietness? And I don’t mean that artificial engine sound, I mean in terms of tire/road noise and cabin sound insulation. I like my music at very low volume but the Rav4 for example is super loud after 65mph Considering a quieter replacement and I really like the Match-E 😏
After watching your video, I made an appointment at my dealership for the maintenance. Can't believe the guy told me $79 for fluids, tire rotation, brake check and oil change. Guess he didn't know EV's don't take oil.
I’ve had mine for a week now. I commute 70 miles daily and honestly charging has been no hassle. I do live in SoCal so I do have a huge amount of chargers in my vicinity but my basic AC gives me roughly 25% charge over night.
I love driving an electric car. I tell people it’s like driving a very powerful gas car in 1st gear but better. INSTANT response from the throttle but at ANY speed.
I have a VW ID.4 and you can't rotate the tires because the front and rear are different sizes. My rear tires lasted for 40000 miles and my front tires lasted 48000. Note its rear wheel drive.
Absolutely does, just like when you engange an AC on an underpowered car, you feel that load affect the engine and slow it down a bit. Reginerative breaking uses the same principle, but with a much larger load that feeds what would be lost energy back to the battery. Its all about mitigating loss of energy, which can typically be measured by heat dissipation, typical brakes generate a tone of heat when you stop - all of that is wasted energy - the EV have a unique capability to 'recapture' a good portion of that lost energy and give it back to the batter, all the while saving you brake parts! :)
I’ve gone in for my 10k at the dealership. No cost, just tire rotation and windshield washer fluid. No change in electric bill. My home is over 3k sq feet and our electric is about $200 a month. I charge my MME daily in Texas. I hated going to the gas stations before. I’m glad I have a 240volt in my garage for charging.
My 2013 Ford C-max hybrid with 239,000 miles still has the original pads and rotors with over 50% left on the pads. I break gently so almost all my breaking is done via regen.
Just had my tires rotated at the dealer for 30 bucks 17k miles on my GT Performance. Summer tires still rated "4" by the dealer with me bracket racing it on the weekend. I'm very impressed with the cost savings!
On the comments you made about brakes. I have a Ford Fusion Energi with 100k miles that has never needed brake pads replaced. That's with driving probably 60/40% hybrid/ev. The Energi has sort of a one pedal mode in EV if you run it in L, but I have always run it in D. So you're probably spot on saying this won't need brakes for at least 100k.
Thanks for video, Out of curiosity, At what time do we need to replace Mach-E battery and how much does it cost? Considering to lease/finance Mach-E ..
I went to Ford as well to get a tire rotation. Person at ford told me why wait for over 2 hours for a tire rotation you can take this EV to any shop and just add your rotation to your app.
I had my Mustang Mach E Route One Since November 8th. my stocks still good from day one. I order some after Marker 20 inch rims from ford with wider tires. I didn’t like the slim tires that came with this EV.
I laughed at the statement that washer fluid is the only fluid. The bottom part of the screen was showing the coolant overflow bottles. It also has brake fluid. My dealer wants me to have them change the fluid lubricating the reduction gears & differential.
The time saved not having to go into the stealership is almost worth it in itself to get an EV. I don’t have a Mach E but I have a different EV. Over two years ownership and about 21k miles on it. I rotate my own tires (10 minutes and free to do) and only thing I’ve needed to spend money on is the cabin filter. Takes two filters and came out to $30 for the pair. So maintenance costs alone for over 2 years is $30. Not a typo. Incredible!
Remember Mach-E is made by Ford (Fixed-Or-Repaird-Daily.) I owned a Mach-E from February 21 - December 22, during which it spent more than three months with its stealership with several recalls and numerous problems. Sadly, its stealership refused to provide a loaner and I had to argue with the Ford corporate for each and every repair. Luckily, Ford spontaneously offered me a repurchase with a full refund.

I doubt that it practically makes much difference on the Mach e whether you have one pedal on or off. Even if you have it off, it will still apply regen braking before friction braking so you'll get most of the efficiency and wear and tear benefits. I would just do whatever your driving preference is. This behavior is not the case for all EVs, which is actually why the Mach E gets some criticism for the feel of its brakes.

True... but since fossil fuels are subsidized with tax dollars (as are the government and societal expenses for adapting to climate change) should we just call it even?
@@retropyor Oh, I know it's coming, but it is a dumb idea to do this right now. Is this really fairness, or thinly veiled schadenfreude? I drive an F150. It doesn't bother me that evs get a free ride right now.
"blinker fluid" LOL funny thing is unless I am mistaken the original blinkers DID have some type of fluid...actually an insulator oil Dashpot relays were used forever in time delay relays especially in train controls and such....pretty sure they were some of the first automotive blinkers also so maybe that is where the joke came from way back when idk...idk if the relay oil even could be changed in those....but in the big locomotive relays etc? no doubt
You said that the only fluid is the windshield washer fluid. This is not true. Under the front hood under the plastic panel behind the storage compartment is a reservoir for brake fluid, and another one for the coolant for the batteries. Important to know. Love your video though. Thank you.
I live in germany and have a mach e awd X 2021. Ford dealership says I have to bring it in for service every tweentyfour months to insure not loosing garanty and pay approx 400 bucks for them to check the damned thing - seems to be a ripoff
That’s 200 eur per year? Sounds like a good deal! Why would that be a ripoff? I service my Ford Puma ST in Belgium annually and pay approx 400 eur per year(!).
Tires will definitely depend on the model. I have a Mach E GT Performance Edition and had to replace them around 19K, which also was likely due to them being the factory performance tires. We replaced them with a set that should last a bit longer while still retaining some good handling. Other than that, I haven't done a thing to the car and it's now at 24K miles. BTW, I also have a BMW M4 and I religiously use my blinker everywhere just to throw you guys off. Trying to repair BMW stereotype with one blink at a time...
I have 21000 on my Mach e. It’s a 2021 car. 7 recalls so far. And it updates like my cell phone. One pedal drive I don’t use. When I did use it, the rotors rusted up. Then when I turned it off, the rust caused the rotors to groove from the brake pads. I wasn’t to happy about that. But Ford took care of it. The tires still seem quite healthy. I rotate them every 10,000 miles as recommended. Washer fluid doesn’t cost me a thing because I get it free at work. I do oil changes at work. It’s great not putting that stuff and gasoline in my car. The biggest issue I have is the range anxiety. This is not a tourist car. It is for local driving only. Charging takes way too long. I do it at home, overnight. Two or three times a week. BTW, there are other fluids. Brake fluid and air conditioner recharge. All in all a great car but it’s the range anxiety that gets me the most. I use an ICE car for long trips.
@@BobbyG3.14 The battery has lost about 15% capacity as far as I can tell. It has also lost some power when fully charged and it's not quite as sporty as it once was. It's been my habit to always keep it on the charger (not knowing how Lion batteries work) but that doesn't seem to have been a bad choice. I drive it to depletion almost daily so that's approximately 4000+ charge cycles and it's still going strong!!!
Just replaced my wife tires at 30k miles, MachE RWD and heavy on the pedal. They still probably had 5k or so left on them 10k if you want slicks but wanted nicer rims so went swapped them early.
By the way, tires / tire rotations, cabin filters, brake pads, 12V batteries, windshield wipers...aren't "maintenance" items They're consumables that every car on the road generally require replacing when they wear out Maintenance = "Maintaining" the life of what's generally considered a non-consumable part Such as changing oil for an engine or a transmission
I have a 2022 Mach e GT. I had to take it back to the dealer with only 6560 miles because the front brake rotors had warped! Instead of replacing the roters, they resurfaced them.
I have a Mach E. The car is almost FREE to operate. 27k miles and not one single cost to the shop. Zero maintenance. Nothing. My electric bill at home has increased by about $30 to $60 a month. But it's going lower because my electric rate has decreased from $.15/kwh to $.024/kwh.
My 2021 now has just over 20k miles. I did have to get my brakes changed right at 19k. We do not use 1 pedal drive. I have taken in for rotations and the breaks, that’s IT! I git those done when in for other recalls. The brakes were covered under warranty and I only paid $25 to get brakes replaced. I drive too fast too often and Thus break too hard. But getting better😅
I looked at a Tesla before the Mach E and I have to say the mustang is so much better looking. The only con with the E I’ve had so far is people saying THATS not a Mustang. Lol
I am not at all surprised that you have almost zero maintenance cost. There are drivers of gas powered cars who can claim the same thing. 100K miles and never changed the oil! Their blinker fluid reservoir is probably dried up, too. I placed an order for a GTPE the first week that 2023 orders opened. Black, with the Nite Pony package. Wicked!
EV Cost: The only thing that really matters is depreciation. 35% loss in 3 years compared to 5% for a well built ICE or hybrid should wake up most buyers. Some don’t wake up. Some don’t even care about cost. Some are getting the surprise of their life as that can’t get out of the car and its payments because the loss is so great. Now if you are in Government who cares??? That’s somebody else’s problem (in their mind). And the Taxpayers just accept it. Shocking.
The biggest inhibitor for me has been finding winter tires / wheels to fit the GT. Because of the brake caliber size, you can’t fit 18” wheels with winters on like you can with the other models. And the all-seasons don’t cut it in the northeast.
@@Annette_Hons funny you mention that, I actually checked with my utility company and to my surprise this company doesn’t have off peak hours so I can charge any time of the day and still costs the same!
We don't own an EV as of Yet. However, I have followed some Very Very Very knowledgeable You Tube Channels, and if I'am not Mistaken the EV Family of Vehicles, as far as I Know, (and Don't Quote Me), they "DO HAVE" Coolant of some Sort Used to COOL, the Batteries???? And OIL to Lubricate the Motors Internal Movie Parts???? And just like the ICE Counterpart's..... That will require Periodic Maintenance??? And...... Much more Often than the MFG's Required Intervals. And altho no one say's anything much about them???? The Batteries WILL Require Maintenance and or Replacement at some Point??? That Cost is Totally Ridiculously Expensive??? Just saying. However, Not being an EV owner, I probably am Talking out my Back Side I would Suppose?
@@cobracarlos i have always loved Mustangs… my 1st car was a Mustang… not a hater, just calling it like it is with Ford F ups!!! But if you like it… good for you, bro
Tell me what the costs are at 8 years and 200,000 miles. You have a new car and under warrantee. My Accord made it to 150,000 miles in the rear. Your heavy car may have suspension parts. You have A/C? Of course you do, which tend to leak when they get older. I can't afford a $50,000 car. What's with the big recall?😮
Damn somebody must own a Ford dealership or work for Ford. No way can you possibly be purchasing Ford because you think there worth there value? Just Literally PROVED that to my cousin. His wife also had a Mach E GT, and he a 2021 Expedition that he traded his 2019 Escalade in for. What’s crazy is I already showed him he was getting ripped off a couple years ago when I compared my wife’s 2020 Palisade Limited ( 46k ) to his 83k Escalade. But what’s he do, trades in backwards for a 76k Ford Expedition. She currently has a 2023 Palisade Calligraphy 53k which was compared to his 2021 Expedition that he paid 24k more for. Let me explain what you get that is better, or what makes that vehicles value of 24k over the Palisade. You get a bigger vehicle, it’s like 2 inches wider and a foot longer. But crazy enough, the third row seating isn’t a huge difference. Well only in space that is, because the 3rd row of her Palisade has far better materials, heated seats AND they are power folding. Being a bigger vehicle is the ONLY thing I couldn’t prove to him that the 24k cheaper Palisade was better. But it handles better, is a far more comfortable ride, quieter, it’s FAR MORE luxurious inside, far better safety features. Heads up display for Palisade, not the 24k more expedition, far better graphics and beautiful clear 360 degree parking on the infotainment screen. Two 12.4 inch displays compared to 8 and 7 inch displays. Side view camera monitor’s for the driver and passenger built into the tachometer and speedometer when you turn on turn signal. And I wanted to put the highway assistance driving to the test BUT………the 77k Expedition didn’t have it, wtf! Palisade has beautiful ambiance lighting, couldn’t compare that either. But hey for 77k his Expedition just had to have a better sound system. Well hahahaha, that was a joke. The full blasted Expedition that goes to volume 30 ? wasn’t as loud as the Palisade turned halfway. And I would be mad if I had a 25k vehicle with that sound quality, let alone 77k. I will tell you this, Ford definitely knows how to cover the interior with cheap plastic. It’s genius how Ford can put that much obvious CHEAP PLASTIC everywhere, and still sell a Expedition, call it a Limited, and get people to pay 77k for that. I watched him and his wife getting pissed when I was pointing all this out, and keep reminding them we paid 23k less. I said guys quit getting so defensive and upset at me. I said I didn’t buy that shit, you did, I didn’t sell you that shit, Ford did! I do my homework, I watch all the reviews. And you can Hate Hyundai all you want, but Hyundai gives better quality, better warranties, and cheaper prices than ALL the competitors! .I said don’t feel bad, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda have all been forced to copy off of Hyundai/Genesis/Kia the last 7 years. Ford and GM just realized they need to start copying now. There just 7 or 8 years late to the party is all. You know with the fantastic driving assist, the digital dash and big screens and luxurious cabins, oh and not to mention the constant change in futuristic designs. Yeah Hyundai was the very FIRST to start offering all that in the mainstream market. And let’s not forget how Hyundai said we’re going to put big infotainment screens and most safety features even in our entry level vehicles. Forcing all the other manufacturers to not just put that stuff in there TOP TRIM. Yeah ALL you other manufacturer fanboy’s should thank Hyundai. You know what I mean, when you get in your new car and go hey look at this cool thing that my car has. It most likely has that because they were forced to COPY Hyundai and play keep up. Now let’s talk shortly about my Genesis GV60 compared to his wife’s Mach e. . Well her Mach e is bigger, and because of it being bigger, I think the design looks slightly better. Now I say this honestly. If my GV60 was as big or bigger, I would definitely like the looks better on my GV60. The smaller size bothers me somewhat. I know it’s much bigger than a smart car, but that is how I keep picturing myself looking like as I drive by people. I always laughed at those people driving those things . And now I feel that’s me being laughed at in my tiny little smart car. Now the car is small, but it’s twice the size of a smart car, and it’s very roomy inside. . That said I will be trading in for the all new electric GV70. Oh comparing my GV60 to the Mach e GT. Oh I did, Mach e GT is bigger and….. yeah that’s all. I’m sorry it pulls off the line faster only from a dead stop, but then my GV60 blows the doors off the Mach e gt. And Mach e GT has bigger infotainment screen. That’s if you like that vertical tablet look that was copied off of Tesla. Everything else the GV60 is a much better vehicle. People do your homework on your next car purchase. Hyundai/Genesis/Kia changed the game 7 ir 8 years ago . I get that Honda caught up quick giving people better cabins and nicer materials , then Toyota, Nissan and Mazda stepped things up. There all offering more now in lower trims, but ALL of them only are doing that because they were forced to do so because Hyundai was doing it. But Ford and GM to just now finally offering slightly better cabins, that is a Joke. I mean to supposed to be American car manufacturers and offering Americans cabins that are polluted with cheap plastics and then asking these crazy ridiculous prices. Hyundai/Kia hasn’t even been around anywhere near as long as any of the others I mentioned. Yet they were the first mainstream manufacturer to offer a luxurious cabin feel at a far, far lower price. Don’t worry there prices will go way up as well. How could you blame them. They offer best is class in almost every area of a car and they see you all running out paying way more for a Ford, a freaking ford for way more money that doesn’t off close to what Hyundai offers. It’s you all who screw over us who actually know where to get the best value for our money. Oh, and I paid much less for my GV60 than my cousins wife paid for that Mach e GT. I could have bought a much bigger vehicle than the Mach e GT for less money that’s way more luxurious than my GV60. Could have got the GV70 or a entry level GV80 that’s still far more luxurious for around the same price. I will never purchase anything outside of Genesis/Hyundai. Genesis is hands down the best vehicle on planet earth dollar for dollar

@@n7y8c7 thank you, this really helps us non owners be informed. I want an ev asap but mark up and availability are making it extremely difficult
@@BobbyG3.14 Hold off for as long as you can. Current prices are absolutely insane.
You ain't right 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤣🤣
you are not paying any taxes for road maintenance. Just wait until your tag cost is increased. (It will) Taxes have to be recouped somewhere.
True... but since fossil fuels are subsidized with tax dollars (as are the government and societal expenses for adapting to climate change) should we just call it even?
FWIW, TX has a new rule to recoup taxes- they charge an additional $200 at registration. So... it's coming
@@retropyor Oh, I know it's coming, but it is a dumb idea to do this right now. Is this really fairness, or thinly veiled schadenfreude? I drive an F150. It doesn't bother me that evs get a free ride right now.
"blinker fluid" LOL funny thing is unless I am mistaken the original blinkers DID have some type of fluid...actually an insulator oil Dashpot relays were used forever in time delay relays especially in train controls and such....pretty sure they were some of the first automotive blinkers also so maybe that is where the joke came from way back when idk...idk if the relay oil even could be changed in those....but in the big locomotive relays etc? no doubt
Is your new edge still for sale?
You said that the only fluid is the windshield washer fluid. This is not true. Under the front hood under the plastic panel behind the storage compartment is a reservoir for brake fluid, and another one for the coolant for the batteries. Important to know. Love your video though. Thank you.
How much is the insurance cost vs your gas powered cars?
Cheaper than my gas car
mine went up $20 from my Lincoln MKT
I’ve spent quite the amount on wash and detailing equipment after buying a new Cyber Orange GT Performance! You didn’t mention that expense!
#irony
I just go to Discount Tire for my tire rotations. They don't charge you a dime even if you didn't buy your tires there.
10 year warranty on the batteries.
8 year/100k mile. still pretty good warranty
I live in germany and have a mach e awd X 2021. Ford dealership says I have to bring it in for service every tweentyfour months to insure not loosing garanty and pay approx 400 bucks for them to check the damned thing - seems to be a ripoff
That’s 200 eur per year? Sounds like a good deal! Why would that be a ripoff? I service my Ford Puma ST in Belgium annually and pay approx 400 eur per year(!).
Brake fluid?
No, just the blinker fluid
😂
What do pay for mach e car insurance
I actually have a whole video on that here you go! How Much Is Insurance For My Mach-E - Monthly Cost

I just got my battery changed on my 2020 Hyundai ioniq free my car is under warranty for another 6 years and no maintenance!
Tires will definitely depend on the model. I have a Mach E GT Performance Edition and had to replace them around 19K, which also was likely due to them being the factory performance tires. We replaced them with a set that should last a bit longer while still retaining some good handling. Other than that, I haven't done a thing to the car and it's now at 24K miles. BTW, I also have a BMW M4 and I religiously use my blinker everywhere just to throw you guys off. Trying to repair BMW stereotype with one blink at a time...
I have 21000 on my Mach e. It’s a 2021 car. 7 recalls so far. And it updates like my cell phone. One pedal drive I don’t use. When I did use it, the rotors rusted up. Then when I turned it off, the rust caused the rotors to groove from the brake pads. I wasn’t to happy about that. But Ford took care of it. The tires still seem quite healthy. I rotate them every 10,000 miles as recommended. Washer fluid doesn’t cost me a thing because I get it free at work. I do oil changes at work. It’s great not putting that stuff and gasoline in my car. The biggest issue I have is the range anxiety. This is not a tourist car. It is for local driving only. Charging takes way too long. I do it at home, overnight. Two or three times a week. BTW, there are other fluids. Brake fluid and air conditioner recharge. All in all a great car but it’s the range anxiety that gets me the most. I use an ICE car for long trips.
Since i started working for ford i want one bad im planning to order my GT in December
Nice! I haven’t driven a gt but heard great things
One question: How many miles per hour?
Mach E top speed is 120
Just went to ford for rotation got charged 489.54 they said prices went up
2011 Chevy Volt with 140,000 miles... haven't changed the brake pads yet!!!
How is the battery degradation, has it effected the range or times you have to charge?
@@BobbyG3.14 The battery has lost about 15% capacity as far as I can tell. It has also lost some power when fully charged and it's not quite as sporty as it once was. It's been my habit to always keep it on the charger (not knowing how Lion batteries work) but that doesn't seem to have been a bad choice. I drive it to depletion almost daily so that's approximately 4000+ charge cycles and it's still going strong!!!
@@ejecea this is so helpful, thank you very much
I have to replace my mme car tires 21( fr dealership ) after 40k mi Spend $499 for 4 tires
I'm over 40k miles and they said mine are good when I went to go rotate them but my miles are mostly highway
You get the lightning yet?
I wish..
Just replaced my wife tires at 30k miles, MachE RWD and heavy on the pedal. They still probably had 5k or so left on them 10k if you want slicks but wanted nicer rims so went swapped them early.
Dang that’s crazy, wife doing burnouts on the way to the mall? 😂
How much did the tires cost? I know EV ones are pricier because of the weight of the car
I own 2 of these Mach E. 57K on one and 5K on the other. My power train light is on
@@thedude7315 it was a software update
Battery warranty is pro-rated so important to understand charging effects to extend it's life.
Gotta be a Dad. Jokes are brutal. Notice I a spike in power bill?
😂😂😂 yes power bill did go up but still less than you would spend on gas
By the way, tires / tire rotations, cabin filters, brake pads, 12V batteries, windshield wipers...aren't "maintenance" items
They're consumables
that every car on the road generally require replacing when they wear out
Maintenance = "Maintaining" the life of what's generally considered a non-consumable part
Such as changing oil for an engine or a transmission
I have a 2022 Mach e GT. I had to take it back to the dealer with only 6560 miles because the front brake rotors had warped! Instead of replacing the roters, they resurfaced them.
That sucks.. but at least they fixed the problem. Do you do any track stuff with it? Maybe the high heat from heavy braking warped them?
I have a Mach E. The car is almost FREE to operate. 27k miles and not one single cost to the shop. Zero maintenance. Nothing.
My electric bill at home has increased by about $30 to $60 a month. But it's going lower because my electric rate has decreased from $.15/kwh to $.024/kwh.
My 2021 now has just over 20k miles. I did have to get my brakes changed right at 19k. We do not use 1 pedal drive. I have taken in for rotations and the breaks, that’s IT! I git those done when in for other recalls. The brakes were covered under warranty and I only paid $25 to get brakes replaced. I drive too fast too often and Thus break too hard. But getting better😅
You’re just asking to get in a car wreck
What do you think about the sun roof. Apparently there’s no protection from the heat and sun as the roof doesn’t close at all.
It's low E glass you don't feel the sun
What is your electric power bill.
how much did it cost you to upgrade your home electrical system.
Did you price replacing the battery at 5 year mark.
I looked at a Tesla before the Mach E and I have to say the mustang is so much better looking. The only con with the E I’ve had so far is people saying THATS not a Mustang. Lol
Yea looks where a big part of why I chose this over the tesla
I am not at all surprised that you have almost zero maintenance cost. There are drivers of gas powered cars who can claim the same thing. 100K miles and never changed the oil! Their blinker fluid reservoir is probably dried up, too.
I placed an order for a GTPE the first week that 2023 orders opened. Black, with the Nite Pony package. Wicked!
Thanks for watching, keep me posted on how you like it once you get it, hope you don’t have to wait too long!
EV Cost:
The only thing that really matters is depreciation. 35% loss in 3 years compared to 5% for a well built ICE or hybrid should wake up most buyers.
Some don’t wake up.
Some don’t even care about cost.
Some are getting the surprise of their life as that can’t get out of the car and its payments because the loss is so great.
Now if you are in Government who cares??? That’s somebody else’s problem (in their mind). And the Taxpayers just accept it.
Shocking.
so we dont we need to worried about engine coolant because doesn't have any radiator
It has a radiator to cool the batteries, motor, electronics…..
8:51 lmao you speaking facts. Its always the BMW drivers man.
The biggest inhibitor for me has been finding winter tires / wheels to fit the GT. Because of the brake caliber size, you can’t fit 18” wheels with winters on like you can with the other models. And the all-seasons don’t cut it in the northeast.
Blinker fluid??????😅
yea its super expensive, and hard to find! 😂
It’s the least expensive model… you couldn’t afford the gt model?
Sounds like Maki the maki car...
EVs need about as much maintenance as a floor fan.
You *do* realize someone will take your advice to change the oil seriously.
8 years from now the batteries will be better and cheaper, so meh.
I suspect you will hit that 100k before your years come up.
20k miles is basically a new car still..
One pedal is herky jerky
So you can drive the mustang like you would drive a regular car. I hate keeping my foot on the gas. That’s what I didn’t like about the Tesla.
Have fun with battery health in cold😂 that range went from 100 to 65% 😂my gas truck will go 500 on a tank lol
You think a gas car doesn't suck more gas in the cold your mistakenly wrong.
@@anthonyguida913 at least it starts unlike shitty Tesla and will get more miles on it unlike Tesla without battery change
I'm actually looking to be buying a mach e Mustang.
@@anthonyguida913 good luck with garbage
And why do you think they're garbage have you owned one?
Your wife must drive for uber or door dash putting that many miles on it in one yr bc aint no way bo
Yea it’s crazy she used to have a 100 mile daily commute, we just moved though so she’s not driving as much anymore
I dont know about other EV s but the Mach E is extremely low maintenance.
Tire rotations and windshield washer fluid that’s it..
the car needs to be changed, mach E isnt a mustang.
You forgot to mention to everyone how many hundreds of dollars a month your electric bill went up since you started charging your car at home… 😂😂😂😂
Good point! My electric bill did go up but still less expensive than gas
@@cobracarlos of course, but most people think it’s hundreds of dollars. They don’t get that you charge during off peak hours so it’s cheaper.
@@Annette_Hons funny you mention that, I actually checked with my utility company and to my surprise this company doesn’t have off peak hours so I can charge any time of the day and still costs the same!
Average is $4-10 for 270 miles
Have had my Mach-e for nearly two years. I use a budget bill plan and my electric bill has gone up $20/month. Far cheaper to run than my Ford Edge.
Cobra Carlos sounds like an onlyfans handle. Please tell me Cobra Carlos has an onlyfans.
No moving parts?? What about things like wheel bearings and suspension? Those don't ever need to be greased or lubricated?
WHAT IS AUTOCROSS ??
It’s making X type of burnouts with your car. Auto X
We don't own an EV as of Yet. However, I have followed some Very Very Very knowledgeable You Tube Channels, and if I'am not Mistaken the EV Family of Vehicles, as far as I Know, (and Don't Quote Me), they "DO HAVE" Coolant of some Sort Used to COOL, the Batteries???? And OIL to Lubricate the Motors Internal Movie Parts???? And just like the ICE Counterpart's..... That will require Periodic Maintenance??? And...... Much more Often than the MFG's Required Intervals. And altho no one say's anything much about them???? The Batteries WILL Require Maintenance and or Replacement at some Point??? That Cost is Totally Ridiculously Expensive??? Just saying. However, Not being an EV owner, I probably am Talking out my Back Side I would Suppose?
8 years OR 100k miles. You’ll hit 100k miles before the 8 year mark.. so be financially prepared to replace the battery on your own 👍🏼
one other thing, tags in Florida are going to increase $250.00 yearly. 😂
It’s been $300 in Washington State for two decades.
Tire rotations are for suckers
great review but didn’t like the unnecessary jokes. carrry on.
Why does this electric mustang look not like a mustang at all?
i would keep the money saved in a separate account for that eventual battery replacement
Ford has made a Mach-er-E out of the famous Mustang name just like the screw up they did in the 70’s!!! Ford gets a HUGE “F”
Haters gonna hate 😂
@@cobracarlos i have always loved Mustangs… my 1st car was a Mustang… not a hater, just calling it like it is with Ford F ups!!! But if you like it… good for you, bro
@@rmgla464 your a hater. I'm just saying it like it is. If you like mustangs good for you.
I rather have a Kia EV6 any day
Never driven one, I’m definitely going to look into test driving one and doing a comparison video with the Mach-E
V2L and utility mode.. Rocks all the way if you camping a lot with EV6 and ioniq 5
"Good thing I paid $45,000 so I don't have to get a $60 oil change"
Tell me what the costs are at 8 years and 200,000 miles. You have a new car and under warrantee. My Accord made it to 150,000 miles in the rear. Your heavy car may have suspension parts. You have A/C? Of course you do, which tend to leak when they get older. I can't afford a $50,000 car. What's with the big recall?😮
The ride is harder than an F350
Damn somebody must own a Ford dealership or work for Ford. No way can you possibly be purchasing Ford because you think there worth there value? Just Literally PROVED that to my cousin. His wife also had a Mach E GT, and he a 2021 Expedition that he traded his 2019 Escalade in for. What’s crazy is I already showed him he was getting ripped off a couple years ago when I compared my wife’s 2020 Palisade Limited ( 46k ) to his 83k Escalade. But what’s he do, trades in backwards for a 76k Ford Expedition. She currently has a 2023 Palisade Calligraphy 53k which was compared to his 2021 Expedition that he paid 24k more for. Let me explain what you get that is better, or what makes that vehicles value of 24k over the Palisade. You get a bigger vehicle, it’s like 2 inches wider and a foot longer. But crazy enough, the third row seating isn’t a huge difference. Well only in space that is, because the 3rd row of her Palisade has far better materials, heated seats AND they are power folding. Being a bigger vehicle is the ONLY thing I couldn’t prove to him that the 24k cheaper Palisade was better. But it handles better, is a far more comfortable ride, quieter, it’s FAR MORE luxurious inside, far better safety features. Heads up display for Palisade, not the 24k more expedition, far better graphics and beautiful clear 360 degree parking on the infotainment screen. Two 12.4 inch displays compared to 8 and 7 inch displays. Side view camera monitor’s for the driver and passenger built into the tachometer and speedometer when you turn on turn signal. And I wanted to put the highway assistance driving to the test BUT………the 77k Expedition didn’t have it, wtf! Palisade has beautiful ambiance lighting, couldn’t compare that either. But hey for 77k his Expedition just had to have a better sound system. Well hahahaha, that was a joke. The full blasted Expedition that goes to volume 30 ? wasn’t as loud as the Palisade turned halfway. And I would be mad if I had a 25k vehicle with that sound quality, let alone 77k. I will tell you this, Ford definitely knows how to cover the interior with cheap plastic. It’s genius how Ford can put that much obvious CHEAP PLASTIC everywhere, and still sell a Expedition, call it a Limited, and get people to pay 77k for that. I watched him and his wife getting pissed when I was pointing all this out, and keep reminding them we paid 23k less. I said guys quit getting so defensive and upset at me. I said I didn’t buy that shit, you did, I didn’t sell you that shit, Ford did! I do my homework, I watch all the reviews. And you can Hate Hyundai all you want, but Hyundai gives better quality, better warranties, and cheaper prices than ALL the competitors! .I said don’t feel bad, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda have all been forced to copy off of Hyundai/Genesis/Kia the last 7 years. Ford and GM just realized they need to start copying now. There just 7 or 8 years late to the party is all. You know with the fantastic driving assist, the digital dash and big screens and luxurious cabins, oh and not to mention the constant change in futuristic designs. Yeah Hyundai was the very FIRST to start offering all that in the mainstream market. And let’s not forget how Hyundai said we’re going to put big infotainment screens and most safety features even in our entry level vehicles. Forcing all the other manufacturers to not just put that stuff in there TOP TRIM. Yeah ALL you other manufacturer fanboy’s should thank Hyundai. You know what I mean, when you get in your new car and go hey look at this cool thing that my car has. It most likely has that because they were forced to COPY Hyundai and play keep up. Now let’s talk shortly about my Genesis GV60 compared to his wife’s Mach e. . Well her Mach e is bigger, and because of it being bigger, I think the design looks slightly better. Now I say this honestly. If my GV60 was as big or bigger, I would definitely like the looks better on my GV60. The smaller size bothers me somewhat. I know it’s much bigger than a smart car, but that is how I keep picturing myself looking like as I drive by people. I always laughed at those people driving those things . And now I feel that’s me being laughed at in my tiny little smart car. Now the car is small, but it’s twice the size of a smart car, and it’s very roomy inside. . That said I will be trading in for the all new electric GV70. Oh comparing my GV60 to the Mach e GT. Oh I did, Mach e GT is bigger and….. yeah that’s all. I’m sorry it pulls off the line faster only from a dead stop, but then my GV60 blows the doors off the Mach e gt. And Mach e GT has bigger infotainment screen. That’s if you like that vertical tablet look that was copied off of Tesla. Everything else the GV60 is a much better vehicle. People do your homework on your next car purchase. Hyundai/Genesis/Kia changed the game 7 ir 8 years ago . I get that Honda caught up quick giving people better cabins and nicer materials , then Toyota, Nissan and Mazda stepped things up. There all offering more now in lower trims, but ALL of them only are doing that because they were forced to do so because Hyundai was doing it. But Ford and GM to just now finally offering slightly better cabins, that is a Joke. I mean to supposed to be American car manufacturers and offering Americans cabins that are polluted with cheap plastics and then asking these crazy ridiculous prices. Hyundai/Kia hasn’t even been around anywhere near as long as any of the others I mentioned. Yet they were the first mainstream manufacturer to offer a luxurious cabin feel at a far, far lower price. Don’t worry there prices will go way up as well. How could you blame them. They offer best is class in almost every area of a car and they see you all running out paying way more for a Ford, a freaking ford for way more money that doesn’t off close to what Hyundai offers. It’s you all who screw over us who actually know where to get the best value for our money. Oh, and I paid much less for my GV60 than my cousins wife paid for that Mach e GT. I could have bought a much bigger vehicle than the Mach e GT for less money that’s way more luxurious than my GV60. Could have got the GV70 or a entry level GV80 that’s still far more luxurious for around the same price. I will never purchase anything outside of Genesis/Hyundai. Genesis is hands down the best vehicle on planet earth dollar for dollar
That’s quite a rant. I couldn’t read it all.
Nice click bait
Not into Eevee you probably paid twice as much in insurance what's a regular car I stay with my 1500 Silverado 2021 V6 I retired had a truck for 3 years only got 6,000 MI
