10 Things to Know Before You Buy a Used Ford Mustang Mach E 

Same place as on my fusion. It took some twister like movement to get under there to find it😅

Congrats on the purchase, you're going to love it!

Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Didn't realize that! Thanks for the information

Good luck! The GT is awesome

Someone definitely drove my car through a gravel storm. I did a fair amount of research on it and it has happened to several people, but I'm guessing they might have bad driving habits

The market has changed drastically since I bought mine. I actually got into an accident that wrote off the car in this video and I bought a used 2022 Premium (I'll be making a video soon on it). I paid $52,000 Canadian back in March.

@@DustinBatchelor Oh wow. Hope you are ok from the accident. Thank you. I look forward to the video.

There's lots of things that will impact charging speed. Temperature of the battery, amperage/voltage, current state of charge, and the total capacity of the battery in the car (normal vs extended). If we take best (and simple) case scenarios at home (11 kW charger), then you just need to divide the battery capacities (72 and 91) by 11. From complete zero it would take 6.5 hours for the normal capacity and 8.25 hours for extended. Public rapid charging is a bit more complex as you typically don't want to charge above 80%. The extended range will charge at up to 150 kW, but that speed increases and decreases depending on the state of charge. Plan for about thirty minutes if you are very low on charge and find a fast station.

Not easily from the car. You have to use an OBD 2 reader and specific applications to get a general idea.

Thanks, same to you!

I know Ford has a new part that they are installing now as part of the recall, but it's not readily available yet to most people. I expect to be waiting for another several months before I can get mine replaced.

Just wanted to post an update that my HVJB recall part arrived and I'm getting it installed this Thursday

@@DustinBatchelor Great! Thanks for the update. I’m anticipating buying a used Mach E later today and that’s good to know that it’ll be possible soon to get that fixed.

@@MewingFugur good luck with the purchase! Let me know if you have any questions about the car you're buying

Thanks for the feedback and congrats on the upgrade!

@@DustinBatchelor I really loved my Select and would have been happy keeping it for years, but with the price cuts announced this week I quickly figured I could easily manage it. I live in Whitehorse, Yukon and my Select AWD was the best winter driver I’ve ever owned.

@@Thunderbuck Do you notice any major differences after 2 months of owning the '23 Premium now over the 21' Select?

@@lukasburkel1250 Not a ton. Better handling with the 19” wheels and the glass roof is nice (though it loses a LOT of heat in the cold).

I've been driving EVs since 2013 when I bought a new 2012 Nissan Leaf. I've had multiple EVs since then and all of them are still on the road. It's not a concern in my opinion.

The remaining battery life CAN be determined with an OBD-II reader. If I were buying used I’d get an inspection from a mechanic who’s experienced with EVs and they will certainly check this.

Ford is constantly releasing updates to the car to improve functionality.

@DustinBatchelor Hey I really appreciate it now I'm using your reply so I can sound smart because I had no idea

@@empowerimpact6324 they've really improved several things with just how the user interface works on the screen. Also more important aspects such as how the car performs. One of my recent updates was to adjust how the stereo sounds!

You joking,right?

LOL

True, it is definitely much faster than any other factory mustang so I can see your argument :) With that being said, I myself have never attached myself to the name of the vehicle but have always looked at the merits of the vehicle itself. This has taken me to several brands in my vehicle ownership journey - Asuna, Pontiac, Chrysler, Mazda, Acura, Honda, Nissan, and Chevrolet. I'm sure Ford had a reason and it's their decision to do what they want with the naming standard. Don't let a name push you away from a truly great vehicle!

They wanted the vehicle to get attention.

Hey thanks for the comment! Been driving EVs since 2013 and I'm happy to support all EV manufacturers. There should never be 'one manufacturer' for anything. Variety is the spice of life right? Glad you enjoy your Tesla!

Ford is getting access to the Supercharger network this spring, and current Mach-E owners will receive a free NACS adapter. I’ve rented Teslas twice for long road trips and I agree there’s a lot to like and the Supercharger experience is outstanding. But I’ve also driven in Vancouver where every third car now is either a Model Y or a Model 3 and it would be a real struggle for me to drive something so common.

Tesla? You mean the car that you have to use a tablet for every aspect of the car including adjusting your mirrors and opening the glove compartment? That Tesla? The Mach-E is definitely the “better” EV when it comes to styling and workmanship etc. And now with the SuperCharger access… 🤔 Pretty much a NO BRAINER. PS Your comment didn’t age well 🫠

@@THEDOPEGAME ROFLMAO. My comment continues to age VERY well, just like my 4.5 year old Tesla, which is absolutely brilliant. Enjoy your FORD, and just hope that nothing goes wrong with it. Why the hell do you think that Tesla is BY FAR the top selling EV in the whole world.

@@DustinBatchelor Love your outlook and positivity for all EV's! We need more variety to suit more people! - Liv
