They actually replace bean gas with that virtual gas which causes that silly grin you get when you get instant-crazy torque all at once, right off the line. For all the haters out there, these things are FUN
The volume wheel is actually really clever (and cheap) Its more a stick-on wheel, not a complex integrated piece of the screen, and the UI was just designed with that wheel in mind
NOOOOO just NOOOOO!!!!. My opinion is that, the button is the worst thing about this car. WHY!!! would you mess up a clean and nice screen with a knob from (insert really old dail button reference of your choosing)... Its like having a knod in any other touch screen, think: phone, tablet, TV, just UUURGH!!! that button just makes me angry every single time I see it!!!.... If you want a button fine, put it somewhere not on the bottom 1/3 of your screen.... SIGH!!!!!!
@@buenito35 Unfortunately from an engineering perspective, there is no UX on the known universe that will ever satisfy 100% of customers. So i guess whatever will be liked by mass was the goal here.
Ford really should've named this the Model E. Like the Model T that was the first mass-produced car, this car is the first mass-produced *electric* car. (Ok, its not the *first,* technically, but priced as it is, and as comparatively well-built as it is, it could easily be the one that makes electric cars finally catch on with the masses.) Further, Ford has owned the Model E name since the early 20th century, so it's been around forever. Tesla wanted to name their Model 3 the Model E, but Ford owned it and wouldn't sell Tesla the right to use the name. Wouldn't it be a wonderful "fuck you" to Tesla from Ford, if Ford were to use the name "Model E" for their first mass-produced electric vehicle! :-) Yeah, Mustang Mach E is not the name they should've gone with. Had I been on the Ford marketing team, I would've pushed for Model E instead.
Welllllll, if Tesla had been allowed their naming convention, their models had been: "S", "E", "X", "Y". No doubt Mr. Musk had this planned, and I love him for it. Will have my MUSTANG in July!!!
@@razorpit Listen. I currently own a GT500, and have owned Cobras in the past . . . before you spend your hard-earned cash on a dinosaur (don't get me wrong, I still love my supercharged V8), you owe it to yourself to drive a couple of EVs. More fun than you'd expect. It's a real eye opener!
The included charger can use 120 or 240 volts up to 40 amps. I keep the included charger in the car and installed a Chargepoint Home Flex in my garage for normal charging. Also, the front shutters are for cooling the battery.
I have Calif 1 edition. I like it a lot. Had it for 4 months now. In colder Temps realize your range will drop especially if you use high heat setting. I keep mine at 69 degrees. I had installed 240 outlet and switched to time of use with my utility. The reason why tires aren't wider is to get better range. In the summer I was getter arnd 305 plus now arnd 240. Since I travel leas than 75 miles a day no problem. I don't let battery go below 20% or charge higher then 80% unless going on long trip.
Hopefully as battery storage increases it isnt ALL put into mileage. I am happy with 300-400 mile range but I want these cars to start allowing me to have custom wheels, maybe various body kit styles, use HVAC/Stereo at higher levels for longer without the impact on mileage like they have now. Fun seeing the evolution of this tech though.
@@mauricebarry8858 EXACTLY. Oh, the whining of the punks in the comments here about using the Mustang name! It was GENIUS for Ford to do this, and the waiting list for this Mach-E is getting longer by the day.
I think the "propulsion sounds" thing is a stroke of genius for the marketing team, but imagine if you could customize your own sounds similarly to a smartphone's ringtone (at least for the speakers inside). Also, i agree that they should have given this car it it's own name.
Tesla does this, you can use custom sounds that can play in and outside of the vehicle, you can even use your phone to project your voice from the Teslas outside speakers.
So many ways to elegently harvest energy like copper inlayed rim and wired magnetic harvester on brake calipers and brake vent turbines from and rear and horizontal turbine that pops outta the rear deck at speed and also one across front clip and in previous radiator spot the same
So many missed opportunities with the name. Ford Lightning (already taken) Ford Coil Ford Firebolt Ford Mach E Ford Colt Ford Stallion ANYTHING but the Mustang...
I like the Mach-E since it evokes the old mustang mach cars. Plus, Chevy kind of overdid the whole gotta make the name reference electricity somehow. Chevy marketing team, " A hybrid? Call it Volt. A plug in electric? Call it Bolt. A truck, ummm ... electric silverado!
You really are one of the very best at doing this these days. Your garage science segment keeps getting better, Id say you are at Goose levels with it now. Your humor was great in this video, really enjoyed this revoew and loved hpw you remained objective and I was surprosed you liked this car and it made me wanna check it out.
Great video. Agree with you regarding the name, kinda crazy they used the iconic Mustang name. Your adorable with the wind turbine idea. I love my Model 3 Performance, the instant torque never gets old.
The charger held up after opening the hatch was not a 110 volt, but a 240 volt connecter. It would plug into a heavy-duty wall outlet usually reserved for electric ovens and clothes dryers. Most other things in a home do use the normal 110 outlets.
Picked up ours last week. So far it has exceeded all expectations. Ours is exactly like the car in the review. I drive 165 miles a day and it is always charged up in the morning with the 240 plug I wired in my garage
Great video! We love our Mach E! It has 300 miles total charge (California Route 1) so we are able to really get about and not concern ourselves with having to only go small trips. and we've put 6,000 miles on it.
I had pitched to Ford to name their electric vehicles as the "The Ford Falcon Force" with different variants; for example Ford Falcon Force GT and Ford Falcon Force Mach 1. The pitch was to provide discounts for all current, retired and family members of U.S. AirForce Personnel. Something similar to what USAA offers. Unfortunately it fell on deaf ears.
I dont blame them. This was a cringey comment to read. Cant imagine how the room felt that heard it. 🤣 But in seriousness you didnt pitch anything to Ford. You are just another youtube peasant trying to ruffle your feathers like a male bird does in heat to garner attention. You've been had and found out. Now go get woke before you get clowned more.
Sarah, please revisit the Mach E in the winter. As the car doesn’t have a heat pump, my biggest concern is usable range in the cold, particularly for highway driving (minimal regen). As always, great video!
That's second stupidest thing to do to an electric car after giving it a Mustang name, you *already* have a heat pump for cooling, just install one additional valve and a tiny bit of piping and that's it, you have yourself a heater in the winter which is FIVE TIMES more energy efficient than a standard coil heater!
Simply superb review, nearly turned off way the start. I was so wrong, total respect! Sarah tops intelligent review. Great factual detail. I am going to buy one now. Thank you !
Reducing rolling resistance means a given battery size (weight, cost) provides more range, which is the primary metric most people consider for electric cars.
They should have used the name Maverick for this car instead of the new pickups, since those were available in four door sedan models. A Mustang has never had 4 doors.
Sarah, normally, with 1-pedal driving mode, the braking lights are managed by an accelerometer and not just when you release the pedal. Therefore, the flashing would not occur. If I remember well, the regulation requires the braking lights to turn on with a 0,12G deceleration. Obviously, the lights also turn on if you press the brake pedal. On electric cars, a very light pressure on the brake pedal often activates the regeneration and thus, some deceleration without having to activate the friction brakes. Have a nice day.
My 2014 BMW i3 lit the brake lights too because it was hardcoded to do one-petal driving. It probably saved me a few rear-end collisions since the thing slowed so fast.
there's a coolant system in EVs too, the active shudders aren't JUST for AC. The glass roof doesn't have a slidy because of the reason you have a glass roof: the floor is all batteries so you sit up higher, but you want the car to have as small a frontal area as possible (thus shorter is better) for aerodynamic efficiency. Thus the reason so many EVs have glass roofs is to have more interior space, as metal roofs & padding are thicker.
It seems like to me that young marketers do not care about a brand's heritage anymore (for the most part). Another example of this is the Acura NSX that was originally a light-weight, low-tech, inexpensive, driver-connected sports car that morphed into a very high-tech, very expensive, disconnected one. Another is the just released Acura Integra which is basically what this generation of Honda Civic should have been but it no Integra. One new example of honoring a model's heritage done right is the upcoming Nissan Z. Sadly, I think the marketers what do what they did with the Mach-E and the Acuras do so just because they know people are passionate for brand and think that giving a car that name will instantly earn it fans and sales. It's really sad.
The current models no longer come with frunk dividers; that was in place until Ford worked out some compliance things relating to the frunk. Also, the frunk has a drain plug, so you can fill it with ice for frunkgating, or store wet stuff (after a beach trip, say) and easily hose it out afterwards. Also, the brake lights don't illuminate immediately in one-pedal mode, I believe, but only as the car approaches a full stop.
@@erorufurakku6378 Ford's made other horse logos for other models before, like Pintos and some old Rangers and possibly Rancheros, though I'm not sure on that one. And I agree that the name doesn't fit but I kinda like the Mustangey styling on em.
@@jaredf6205 A lot of people don't like all these moves of sticking legacy namesfor well-loved cars on crossovers, as if that makes crossovers somehow more what fans of say a Mustang or Integra or Eclipse or something want. (It also kind of implies that there *won't* be, or that they'll soon get rid of, say, the coupes or sporty hatches they're interested in. )
Ford already had a Probe model in 97....it didn't fair well in the market...nor was it really stylish or sporty...of course Ford reused the Maverick name for a truck....it was actually a car in the 70s
The problem you outlined is even more of an issue here in Australia we have the government pushing us to take up EV's but we lack any real infrastructure outside of big city's i personally have never even seen an E charging station irl that's how few and far between they are.
I live about 2hrs from melbourne and RACV has installed a charging station in Moe, and pretty sure alot of solar retailers are trying to install chargers near there shops aswell.
As you well know, that's the least your government is doing. We're turning things around here in the US, ground level up, F J B. Hold tight. You are foremost in our minds. In the meantime, only own vehicles that can give you the longest range in the shortest time, which doesn't include charging a battery for hours.
Ford applied the Mustang moniker in an attempt to garner attention from the people who like the idea of the Mustang, but would never seriously consider buying one. The four doors and dug wagon body style are the practical consideration. The electric drive system is the novelty aspect. Put bluntly, this is an attempt to borrow some emotional appeal from one product and slather it onto a totally different thing.
I get the sense that the yard would be full of removed plastic panels before any metal parts could be accessed and serviced. Great review, Sarah. Love your style!
No. There are only 4 plastic covers underneath. But if any untrained person were to try and work on it. That would property die. Considering there is about 700 volts DC running through that car
4,278 Newton Meters = 3155+ lb ft of torque. Since the conversion didn’t make it in. :) This review gets 8/5 Penguins! It gets three extra Penguins because you are dead on (IMHO) with the name, no kink shaming here, and plenty of puns!
Cant wait till you get a f150 lighting to review If you combined your wind turbine idea, where instead of a tow behind it was built into the grill of the e car, and placed anywhere else they could like those vents up front for the a/c, and replaced that voyer roof with solar panels, you wouldn't get a charge from it that would top you off, but you would get more range, might not be much, but on one of these, every little bit counts. And solar panels could actually give you a decent amount when its parked outside all day. Again not a full charge, but if it could add even 20% over the course of a day, that is less time you have to charge at night, and less money that costs you in your electric bill.
I was saying that same thing with solar panels when I seen the f150 lightning announcement. I thought the truck bed would of been perfect to put/test the solar panel idea. Had pretty much this talk at my old job.
Full power (can't say throttle) sounds should be an exceptionally loud arcing sound - as in when a transformer on a utility pole fails and shorts out. Ominous yet cool sound. Side note; a shorted out transformer is a spectacular sight at night, lights the entire area up in an incredibly bright blue - the equivalent of sunlight but 'electric blue'
Very interesting EV. It looks okay, I guess. BUT, a total deal breaker for me is that fugly giant pad-like screen in the middle of the dash. Why not incorporate it more pleasantly into the dash? It just looks like a complete afterthought stuck on with velcro or tape. Also, all that extra mass of the giant brakes and wheels from a real Mustang is totally counterintuitive to the whole EV concept (light, efficient, etc.). This vehicle is trying to portray too many identities and that's a recipe for failing at each of them rather than being superior at one focused design effort. And don't even get me started on the naming of this thing. I own a Mustang GT and that car is and always was about the whole experience (the sound, the looks, the driving experience). Ford, lose the horse emblems and call it the Mach-E. Great review! Thanks.
Having the brake lights go on when the car is slowing down sharply via regeneration is not weird at all. It's totally necessary. You are going to get rear ended a lot if your car is too stealthy about the fact it is rapidly decelerating. And if you are on/off the go pedal enough to make the brake lights flash, your passengers, if any, are going to feel like bobble-head dash ornaments. Drive an EV with strong regen for a while, and your foot/brain will soon learn to modulate the pedal so that you are driving smoothly. It gets to be as natural as skillfully engaging a clutch. Muscle memory takes care of the details, and you don't have to think about it at all.
I'm a girl - I don't know 90% of all the big car words Sarah uses but I find them super hot anyway. Just found her channel and love it. Such a fresh review - informative and original and useful. Just subscribed.
@@lobster1002000 possibly .. I'm curious whether there's any regulatory issues relating to safety. Imagine switching to the loud farting noise when driving your mother-in-law ;)
Another great auto review! Absolutely smashed it just like I did the “Like” button as always! I’m with you on the Mustang name... I don’t even like seeing the Mustang emblem on it! It reminds me of the 1976 Mustang II era! That said This Mach E has me intrigued and I loved your review! Excellent work Sarah. Thank you!!
Why would it need launch control? How would that exactly work on an EV? You have full torque from the moment you hit the "gas". It doesn't have to rev up to a powerband.
The Cobra Jet Mach E has a 1500lb battery, 7 motors and 1,500 rear wheel horse power, does the 1/4 NHRA track at 7.3 seconds, haven't yet seen the 2022 or 2023.
The battery rails with the rows of holes are aluminum, not steel, and definitely not for lifting. The lift points are the steel outboard of the battery rails and inside the plastic trim. Arrows on the plastic show where to lift.
Or quarter horse? Because apparently the batteries on its gt model only live their lives a quarter mile at a time, for those 10 seconds or less the horse is free. 😂
Great to see you reviewing EVs 😀 really hope you get a Tesla to test at some point ! If you do , the Tesla supercharger network is the benchmark for every one else. Great video Sarah, thanks 😊
I wonder of these EV's will be throw away vehicles when they are eight to ten years old & the batteries need replacing? This from someone that has a thirteen year old Mercedes & a twenty one year old BMW MC in the garage. Both self maintained & still run like new.
I do wish they hadn't called it a Mustang. When internal combustion engines become a thing of the past, so should the Mustang badge as it represents more than just a name.
They named it that because , love it or hate it it got you talking. It got people knowing what it is. It did its job. And you don't charge [90hrs] from 0 -100. You keep it charged for your needs like your phone and charge it like you do your phone. At night or when your not using it.
The best thing about e-beans is they don't give you gas.
Nope! They electrocute you!
Yes they do, its the silent but deadly gas that gets you.
Having said that i find electric cars boring.
They actually replace bean gas with that virtual gas which causes that silly grin you get when you get instant-crazy torque all at once, right off the line. For all the haters out there, these things are FUN
😆
@@odinikita4821 in what way are they boring?

The skinny tires=less rolling resistance. A fairly big area of focus for most of the EVs I've seen.
Cars dont always need wide wheels and tires.
Reducing rolling resistance means a given battery size (weight, cost) provides more range, which is the primary metric most people consider for electric cars.
Too get a smooth ride regardless of the tire width you need an aspect ration of at least 60 or up.
Skinny tires are cool. I love little tires. Will attract the muscle car crowd, for sure. 😂

All manufacturers are diverting to those tactics, just like the rest of the world. Attention spans are that of a grape now for most people.
Sarah had me at " Multi Link Rear Suspension" and her pronunciation of Aluminum . What a intelligent and Beautiful Woman.
Missed opportunity to bring back the Probe brand.
wow as you described the wind turbines. my brain was going the same direction with drag and all.
I understand and appreciate Sarah's opinion/review more than any other reviewer on those webs.
The current models no longer come with frunk dividers; that was in place until Ford worked out some compliance things relating to the frunk. Also, the frunk has a drain plug, so you can fill it with ice for frunkgating, or store wet stuff (after a beach trip, say) and easily hose it out afterwards. Also, the brake lights don't illuminate immediately in one-pedal mode, I believe, but only as the car approaches a full stop.
At 17: 23 you neglectted "bleeping" out your "fucking spaceship"
That’s a “feature”, not a bug. We pay extra for that!
In my mind they should have just called it the Mach-E and then if absolutely needed they could have added: 'Inspired by the Mustang'
@@erorufurakku6378 I'm a fan of clean lines so 'nothing' would work for me. Otherwise maybe a stamped in 'Mach-E'
@@erorufurakku6378 Ford's made other horse logos for other models before, like Pintos and some old Rangers and possibly Rancheros, though I'm not sure on that one. And I agree that the name doesn't fit but I kinda like the Mustangey styling on em.
It’s weird that people care.
@@jaredf6205 They cry at night knowing their ICE Mustang will get beat by the Mach E.
@@jaredf6205 A lot of people don't like all these moves of sticking legacy namesfor well-loved cars on crossovers, as if that makes crossovers somehow more what fans of say a Mustang or Integra or Eclipse or something want. (It also kind of implies that there *won't* be, or that they'll soon get rid of, say, the coupes or sporty hatches they're interested in. )
They could/should have called it the Futura although Probe wouldn't have been bad. Anything but Mustang.
Ford already had a Probe model in 97....it didn't fair well in the market...nor was it really stylish or sporty...of course Ford reused the Maverick name for a truck....it was actually a car in the 70s
@@techhead1363 by that logic Ford already has a Mustang...
The final year of the Probe was 1997, if memory serves me it was basically just a rebadged Mazda.
@@Shakerhood69 the Mazda Mx-6 I think
Agree the Probe name would’ve worked here. The Probe was supposed to be a Mustang replacement, but enthusiasts weren’t having it.
Love this channel, love her. Awesome personality and sense of humor.
its not a real women
Another great review. I’d love to see your review of a Tesla Model Y Performance as a comparison!
6:34 I use this FF reference all the time when I see buttons in a car that idk know
The problem you outlined is even more of an issue here in Australia we have the government pushing us to take up EV's but we lack any real infrastructure outside of big city's i personally have never even seen an E charging station irl that's how few and far between they are.
I live about 2hrs from melbourne and RACV has installed a charging station in Moe, and pretty sure alot of solar retailers are trying to install chargers near there shops aswell.
As you well know, that's the least your government is doing. We're turning things around here in the US, ground level up, F J B. Hold tight. You are foremost in our minds. In the meantime, only own vehicles that can give you the longest range in the shortest time, which doesn't include charging a battery for hours.
You effectively need a power point for every EV, yes a bit of an issue in Australia
@@beardednategaming7188 and the Tesla charging stations at Coles.
Thats cuz they want everyone packed in the city for some reason.
Ford applied the Mustang moniker in an attempt to garner attention from the people who like the idea of the Mustang, but would never seriously consider buying one.
The four doors and dug wagon body style are the practical consideration. The electric drive system is the novelty aspect.
Put bluntly, this is an attempt to borrow some emotional appeal from one product and slather it onto a totally different thing.
I want an engine sound that sounds like the Star Trek TNG Enterprise, kind of that background low roar 😁
And when on full throttle, the sound of the warp drive engaging? I'd like that as well.
Always love your reviews, Sarah. I like the life-size picture of James May in the background keeping an eye on things.
I was wondering who that was. Thought it might be Steve Bannon which confused me to no end.
I always enjoy the unrestrained bolstering test. I slow it down for that part, several times, to get the FULL effects. Thanks.
Yay!!!! We asked for an electric ⚡ and we got a great first start 🤩💕 as always Thank You Sarah!
I get the sense that the yard would be full of removed plastic panels before any metal parts could be accessed and serviced. Great review, Sarah. Love your style!
No. There are only 4 plastic covers underneath. But if any untrained person were to try and work on it. That would property die. Considering there is about 700 volts DC running through that car
1:30 Stupid fast for about 6 seconds, after which it cuts you down into Ecoboost Mustang mode.
4,278 Newton Meters = 3155+ lb ft of torque. Since the conversion didn’t make it in. :)
This review gets 8/5 Penguins! It gets three extra Penguins because you are dead on (IMHO) with the name, no kink shaming here, and plenty of puns!
I feel I need to say it: My favourite part is "Garage Science” with Sarah. Thanks.
Cant wait till you get a f150 lighting to review
If you combined your wind turbine idea, where instead of a tow behind it was built into the grill of the e car, and placed anywhere else they could like those vents up front for the a/c, and replaced that voyer roof with solar panels, you wouldn't get a charge from it that would top you off, but you would get more range, might not be much, but on one of these, every little bit counts. And solar panels could actually give you a decent amount when its parked outside all day. Again not a full charge, but if it could add even 20% over the course of a day, that is less time you have to charge at night, and less money that costs you in your electric bill.
I was saying that same thing with solar panels when I seen the f150 lightning announcement. I thought the truck bed would of been perfect to put/test the solar panel idea. Had pretty much this talk at my old job.
Full power (can't say throttle) sounds should be an exceptionally loud arcing sound - as in when a transformer on a utility pole fails and shorts out.
Ominous yet cool sound.
Side note; a shorted out transformer is a spectacular sight at night, lights the entire area up in an incredibly bright blue - the equivalent of sunlight but 'electric blue'
I'm a Mustang enthusiast my entire life. I've owned dozen. I love this car
Hi, I've never seen your content before but I've just subscribed because you obviously know your shit and you're also fun to watch. Thank you
Very interesting EV. It looks okay, I guess. BUT, a total deal breaker for me is that fugly giant pad-like screen in the middle of the dash. Why not incorporate it more pleasantly into the dash? It just looks like a complete afterthought stuck on with velcro or tape. Also, all that extra mass of the giant brakes and wheels from a real Mustang is totally counterintuitive to the whole EV concept (light, efficient, etc.). This vehicle is trying to portray too many identities and that's a recipe for failing at each of them rather than being superior at one focused design effort. And don't even get me started on the naming of this thing. I own a Mustang GT and that car is and always was about the whole experience (the sound, the looks, the driving experience). Ford, lose the horse emblems and call it the Mach-E. Great review! Thanks.
Agree. It looks like a prototype with a Kindle tablet Gorilla Glued to the dash and they never got around to finishing it.
Sarah Ford should give you this car, you're their best advertising. 😍
You truly look gorgeous today Greetings from Norway
11:02 😂 amazing vocals, your the best
Having the brake lights go on when the car is slowing down sharply via regeneration is not weird at all. It's totally necessary. You are going to get rear ended a lot if your car is too stealthy about the fact it is rapidly decelerating. And if you are on/off the go pedal enough to make the brake lights flash, your passengers, if any, are going to feel like bobble-head dash ornaments. Drive an EV with strong regen for a while, and your foot/brain will soon learn to modulate the pedal so that you are driving smoothly. It gets to be as natural as skillfully engaging a clutch. Muscle memory takes care of the details, and you don't have to think about it at all.
I'm a girl - I don't know 90% of all the big car words Sarah uses but I find them super hot anyway. Just found her channel and love it. Such a fresh review - informative and original and useful. Just subscribed.
Bolster test satisfactory :D
@10:55 , yeah, I'm glad you did that (big Jetson's fan here). Thank you!
If there was ever an opening for a Jetson's sound effect person you would be the person for the job. That was awesome lol.
$200 phone and you have endless ringtones to choose from, $50,000 care and you get 3 “engine” sounds :O
@@kevinpunter7960 Maybe you will be able to download them in the future.
@@lobster1002000 possibly .. I'm curious whether there's any regulatory issues relating to safety. Imagine switching to the loud farting noise when driving your mother-in-law ;)
Nice to hear a womans prospective that is mechanically inclined.
Another great auto review! Absolutely smashed it just like I did the “Like” button as always! I’m with you on the Mustang name... I don’t even like seeing the Mustang emblem on it! It reminds me of the 1976 Mustang II era! That said This Mach E has me intrigued and I loved your review! Excellent work Sarah. Thank you!!
Yup, Probe or Fairlane would have been a better name for it than mocking the Mustang moniker.
Why would it need launch control? How would that exactly work on an EV? You have full torque from the moment you hit the "gas". It doesn't have to rev up to a powerband.
Somebody borrow Sarah a Plaid!
The Cobra Jet Mach E has a 1500lb battery, 7 motors and 1,500 rear wheel horse power, does the 1/4 NHRA track at 7.3 seconds, haven't yet seen the 2022 or 2023.
Great now I gotta search for your Porsche and VW EV videos. I can't wait till you get your hands on a Tesla. Any Tesla.
At 9:54 and also at 11:55 you mention "Bog Warner". It's Borg Warner. LMAO!
Damn brown leather mini, cutie little heals, lord help us. Oh the Mach E was nice too. Love you Sarah! Keep up the great work.
Yes, that’s a five-penguin skirt!
The battery rails with the rows of holes are aluminum, not steel, and definitely not for lifting. The lift points are the steel outboard of the battery rails and inside the plastic trim. Arrows on the plastic show where to lift.
With how much it weighs and its shape, maybe Ford should have named it "Clydesdale"
Or quarter horse? Because apparently the batteries on its gt model only live their lives a quarter mile at a time, for those 10 seconds or less the horse is free. 😂
Love it!
Could imagine a 1994 Ford Probe engine swapped to the Eluminator!!! I had a GT and it was quick as is. It would be a FWD drag strip monster.
Great to see you reviewing EVs 😀 really hope you get a Tesla to test at some point !
If you do , the Tesla supercharger network is the benchmark for every one else.
Great video Sarah, thanks 😊
I ordered a mach-e 75 kWh rWd last weekend. With a Technology pack plus. Shadow black. Delivery will be april. Can’t wait
I wonder of these EV's will be throw away vehicles when they are eight to ten years old & the batteries need replacing? This from someone that has a thirteen year old Mercedes & a twenty one year old BMW MC in the garage. Both self maintained & still run like new.
The answer is no.
I've been dying for you to review the mustach-e! Yessss!
I'm with you babe calling this thing a Mustang is a disservice to every Mustang out there......Calling it a Mach-E is just fine.
Very entertaining and informative video; thank you! I love your windmill-on-a-trailer idea for giving extra energy for a BEV in remote areas! 🙂
I do wish they hadn't called it a Mustang. When internal combustion engines become a thing of the past, so should the Mustang badge as it represents more than just a name.
Same feeling here, people will be complaining why Ford is not electrifying the Mustang 🤣
They could have called it a Pinto for all I care lol
They named it that because , love it or hate it it got you talking. It got people knowing what it is. It did its job.
And you don't charge [90hrs] from 0 -100. You keep it charged for your needs like your phone and charge it like you do your phone. At night or when your not using it.
