@@mikemccormick8115I have to say I only had one Carvana experience and it was great. Gave me top dollar for my Lexus and a great price on a Mazda. No complaints.
Never buy a used box of batteries. You don't know how the previous owner treated them or the degredation curve they started. Diagnostic apps can't tell you if a casing is cracked, if a lead is shorting, if the car was purely fast charged, etc.
Bought my wife a Mach E GT and love it. When we travel long distances we use a gas vehicle but we hardly ever do. Had it for about 4 months and it drives and charges seamlessly.
The charge time even at a Tesla Supercharger will still be limited by the car's internal charge rate (whatever that may be). But at least Tesla chargers virtually always work and work at their highest rate.
The Mustang Mach-e is one of those "Almost There" products. Its looks and fit/finish are top of class, but the lack of a heat pump and its "Mid" DCFC speeds keeps me and many others from buying it. Drove over 1000 miles in one, and came away very impressed.
My wife and I both drive electric cars hers has a heat pump as standard equipment, I ordered my Skoda Enyaq IV80x without a heat pump as I thought it was unnecessary in our temperate climate. I was right!
@@wilkoone9155 Many parts of the US have great temperature extremes throughout the year, so a heat pump would be beneficial during winter months for 3/4 of the US.
@@KaiPonte A heat pump is a device that moves excess heat away from the battery to other parts of the car to increase efficiency. One important function is moving the heat from the battery to the cabin during cool temps.
Pros: quality built, super silent cabin with all acoustic glass, magna ride suspension, many paint color choices, apple car play, car was released when promised, range is actually as advertised, smoother ride, different drive mode option, doesn’t sound like a hollow tin can inside the cabin, best seats available in the GT Performance, choose white or black interior same price. Doesn’t make farting noises and doesn’t have a butt hole. CEO is focused on going electric and is hitting promised delivery and release dates. Cons: slow DC Charging, and doesn’t have century mode.
I am driving a Mach-E at my work. It is like driving a magic carpet. I did not think I would like an electric car. But after driving the Mach-E. I want my own sooooo bad.
I owned a 21 Premium Mach-E for 18 months. It was the most fun car to drive that I have ever owned. The down side for me was that we travel a bunch and the charging time needed for our trips was a pain. Traded the Mach-E for a PHEV and it is nice to not have to worry about charging when we travel while still being mostly electric for our normal weekly routine.
You may as well bought an ice. A survey inthe uk found the actual avearage real world fuel consumption for a phev was 9L per 100kms. People basically do not plug them in. 9L per100kms is not impressive for an ice. The downsides are that you bought a more expensive and higher maintenace ice, with leass space, and is 2x more likely to catch fire than an ice. Just buy an ice mate, and dont bother pretending to be green.
@@nordic5490people not plugging in is mostly caused by company cars not giving a reimbursement for electricity, and the rest is mostly people who got a tax credit to buy a more premium car, possibly to drive in HOV lanes.
Bottom line people need to buy a car they feel comfortable with. I won’t criticize them for that. But I’ve owned nothing but electric since 2018. Started with a Chevy Bolt. Great car but not good for long trips. We now have a 2020 LR DM model 3 and a 2023 performance Model Y. I have put close to 200,000 miles on those EV’s. Drove the Model 3 to Ohio total of about 5700 miles round trip. No issues charging. Drove the performance model y to Missouri 3700 miles round trip no issues charging. Drove the Performance Model y to Oregon for a total of 1800 miles round trip with no issues charging. Not to mention all the trips I’ve made to Arizona and Northern California all with no issues charging. I charge off peak at home for every day use. I will never own another gas car. On long trips average charging time was no more than 30 minutes. Perfect for me to rest and grab a snack. Absolutely love it.
I was going to buy a Model Y until Elon got so psycho. My Mach-E is fantastic! No regrets. And I'm glad not one nickel of my money is going to Lone Skum.
No kidding the styling of the Mach E is so attractive, my coworker have to figure out which white model Y is theirs when leaving work 😂. I love my cyber orange GT Performance. The seat are magnificently comfortable and the build quality is superior to my previous Tesla. Sure I don’t get as much range but this car is for fun rides and commuting to work, works perfectly for me. No regrets on my Mach E. 😊
You do realize don’t you, that Elon Musk does not build every single Tesla out there, Elon Musk does not make every decision at Tesla… Do you look at every manufacturers CEO prior to purchasing any product? Do you judge their character, put them under a microscope, and rip them to shreds ? The CEO has nothing to do with whether you like the vehicle or the vehicle is up to acceptable standards. If you understood the nefarious side of major league sports, NFL, NBA, NHL, WNBA, etc.… I doubt you’d watch those sports either but you don’t and you keep watching anyway. What’s the difference with Tesla? Elon did not start Tesla, he took over as CEO long after it had become a company.
I just bought the 23 GT in the carbon gray and I haven’t picked it up yet but I think I’m gonna love it. I just enjoyed watching this video I mean the pros and the cons really we’re not that bad as far as the cons I don’t make long trips I drive about 300 miles a week this oughta be a great car for me. I’m a big Mustang driver. I’ve only had the gas powered GT Mustang like five or six of them so it’s funny how this one’s actually gonna be quicker than all the other ones lol.
I ran the Mustang Mach E by my wife and she said no. She wanted the Model Y. So I bought her the performance Model Y. No regrets. Great car. I do like the Mach E though. I think its a good looking ev. Hopefully ford will speed up the charging and improvements over time should fair well for Ford.
I am about to buy a mustang Mach EGG extended range in Florida. I’ve looked at two and I like the black one better than the yellow or orange whatever they call it.
Considering Ford had the luxury to re-engineer the model Y it’s inexcusable that there charge time is 3x Tesla… in fact because they had the model three data before they started building their platform they should’ve set out to exceeded every element
As a Ford owner I really want to like the Mustang Mach-E. As a first effort (ignoring the Focus Electric) it has a lot going for it but not quite enough for me to buy one. The two biggest issues for me are: 1) how quickly the price escalates when you opt for the bigger battery, AWD and upgrade trim level and 2) its efficiency. The 37kWh/100 mile puts it pretty far back in the pack of current EVs. EV buyers should prioritize this at least as much as range as this is a measure of how much it will cost to drive. I'm confident Ford's next effort will be more competitive but if I end up shopping for an EV before that happens I'll be looking elsewhere.
Most people wouldn't drive more than 300 Miles in one day, so the 45 min charge becomes less relevant imo, because you recharge it overnight. For those who do, sure, it'll take longer, but not as much as you might think by the time you factor in food stops and toilet breaks, plus; you may not need to charge to 100% to get to your destination for that overnight charge. This is my experience as a Tesla 3 driver. Currently my first 200 Miles is free from home solar, but the extra 100 Miles sure is very tempting..
I am very interested in getting the 2023 premium extended version from my car dealer which he's going to drop the msrp price by $8,250 which will be with our budget Thank you God.
The Mach E has familiar stalks and the Ford dealership to support you when there is any trouble. Once they use the NACS (Tesla) superchargers as standard, the car rental companies would be more welcoming to this car.
Very nice car...still like my Ioniq5 AWD Ultimate better! Drove several Mach E's before buying the I5, no regrets at all! Ford I think has done well with it and wish them great success in the future! Mike😊
I have a Tesla S and love it, but I rode in a Mach E and was blown away by the ride of that vehicle. I'd say it's as good or maybe better than my S (which to be fair has 100K miles on it now) and definitely better than the Y I drove. This is an excellent effort. They need to improve the charge rate - the range is fine.
Like these comparisons. Still shopping around to see what makes sense for our wallet. Do you know if the Mach E will be revising their battery type in the coming years?
Love your energy and the to the point delivery. Question Why does it look like a suv, but it's being compared to a car? Is it the style of the Mach E? Thanks, living in MI makes this a no-go winter, which is always a factor to consider with electric cars.
Why can’t Tesla make a decent looking vehicle? This is where Mach E blows Tesla out of the water! Problem is I’m not paying 75k for looks. Mustang has much work to do in the performance / price arena. $ 75k for a Ford? Uh no.
ngl I think I'd much rather have most camaros than this but depends on the year camaro and engine. If its a 1969 Camaro SS I could deal with 10 MPG lol
If you street race, it's a big con yes. 5 seconds at full power from any starting speed will put you well above any legal limit. Even with the 5 second limit, it's still a 12 second car in the quarter mile.
The frunk on the Mach E isnt that big, esp compared to frunks on other evs. I really like this car, but idk if I like it enough to spend $40K on it. It is a mustang tho. I wonder if Ford added the brand name for the $$$$ it can bring in
There are no pros. If you buy one, it's because you are a poser. I hate EVs, but even I know that teslas are a smarter buy if you must have an EV. The ford is slower, heavier, and somehow uglier to look at, plus the fact that they slapped a pony logo on an SUV is just depressing. There are no pros to having a mach-e, only laughs and head shakes from car enthusiasts, sad and/or angry glances from ford fans, and open mockery from pretty much everyone who sees how thirsty you are. Facts.
I don't get why this is labeled as a mustang when its a 4 door crossover but it seems to be a decent EV. They should make one thats a 2 door coupe or convertible like mustangs have always been previously.
I'm very interested in buying one and along with getting the best value for my money I have zero desire to give Musk any of my dollars. I'm content to wait for other companies that treat their workers better close the gap. Musk's actions are a MAJOR turn off! I will continue to gather more information before making my purchase.
@@EforElectricthis comment doesn’t pass the smell test. Seems like this person is simply passing on someone else’s “experience “ as his own to make it seem legitimate. I haven’t heard of ANYONE claim that AC cuts range in half. 😂😂
The Mach E it’s a looker only when u see it once or twice. More you see it more it gets overly lined and doesn’t hold design in my eyes. That’s why European makers stay away from those over curved lines
Geez people hanging on label who cares how it is called. Just call it Mach e if you want. For the kid who was born in 2006 that is a mustang. Also the electric version kind of smoke the ice in acceleration
He's the truth... How about running a MustingE head to head with ANY Gas Mustang from NYC to LA and see who get's there first and how far behind the MUSTANG E is when ANY Gas Mustang gets to LA.
Great idea! We need to set some ground rules first. Does the driver of the gas Mustang also get to strap a piss bottle to his leg to make sure he doesn't have to stop to take a leak and wear a diaper in case he has to poop??? Strangely, when I bought my Tesla S, I did not consider the prospects of me racing a gas car from coast to coast. I should have given this more thought...
@@EforElectric I live in Arizona where A/C will drain down quite quickly. Second reason is I travel alot being retired, I like getting places as quick as possible traveling at least 1500 miles. Driving around the Phoenix area is easy to put a total of 300 miles in a day, again the air conditioner reduces range being in Arizona. I know from other EV owners in area that it has impacted range.
@@EforElectricI like the sound of 500 mile range. By default, higher mileage range implies a whole lot less charging. Less headaches. Less cost. Both sound good to me! 😊
Announced after the CT and sold 20k more than that truck in 9 months. But who cares how many they’ve sold. Competition is good and the market will bring these prices down to where the average man can afford these as commuters
I bought a Mach e. Two and a half years ago. I have the extended range battery. BUT your numbers are wrong. It was 76,000 dollars. First, it’s a great car and I love it. It is extremely comfortable to sit in. It has all the features anyone could want. That said, charging at home is an overnight affair. I won’t use fast chargers because the charge you by TIME that you are hooked up. That makes it more expensive than gas. While the “frunk” is nice, I never use it. And that area remains unseated during snow. So snow builds up while you drive. Using the one pedal drive causes your rotors to rust up from not being used. Then you switch back to normal drive and the pads and rust combine to destroy your rotors. I could go on and on about the poor features. But there’s no time here. So while I liked your presentation, you don’t have all the facts. You should dig deeper. I’ll end with this. EVs are not what they are cranked up to be. Before you buy one, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. LET THE BUYER BEWARE. Dealers won’t tell you the down sides. Politicians are pursuing an agenda. They LIE. Our nations electric grid cannot handle the load. Californians are already being told NOT to charge up at home. EVs are not ready for Prime Time. They only can last about 10 years, MAX. THEN YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. That costs, in my case, $37,000. A gas car can last 20 years or more with proper care. Not so for EVs. If people don’t buy them, manufacturers won’t make them. EVs are being pushed down our throats by lying, scheming politicians. That includes our “Resident.”
so you bought a Mach E and wrote “politicians are pushing EVs Down our throats.”? Writing so negatively about EVs in general make me wonder why you even bought ANY EV. Seems like an anti EV checklist rather than a fair assessment of the Mach e in particular. I’m just saying…
You bought A Mach e while speaking of agenda, not ready for prime time, etc. seems like you may have stated you bought one just the give your comments credibility. 😂
I can tell you one of the biggest Con on this car is it's ugly as hell why couldn't Ford make a decent looking car not like a pinto or something other than that hideous thing that they put on the market
they built it, they can name it whatever they want. don’t like it? build your own car & name it something you don’t think is a travesty. Then the rest of us can critique your name & u can tell them to sthu
This whole thing is a con no pros about it...its not even a real mustang..its a glorified battery operated mini SUV and did a marketing hack job by gluing a plastic horse on a car..
@@EforElectric it’s not generally bad, but it’s very bad for Mustang. Looks like a decent mom car and that’s not bad, but that’s not what mustang was meant for imo. I guess I have a problem with the name more than the car itself.
I did not watch the video. However, just take some glue and put a couple mustangs on a car does not make it a Mustang. It does not even look like a Mustang and it is electric. Enough said? No, since when does a Mustang have 4 doors?
Fair points except for the electric part because you probably don't know that the fastest cars with the best 0 to 60 and the best quarter mile are now all electric.
A production 4 door Mustang is new though when designing the original Mustang, Ford thought about the idea. There was a 4 door Mustang prototype based on the original. There are many different kinds of Mustangs since 1964.
I don’t know what Ford was thinking when they decided to name this thing after “Mustang”! In no way does it have the sporty look of historical Mustangs and it’s ugly as hell from the front. Nothing about its looks says buy me.
I believe it was to get people TALKING about it. No way it would have attracted as much buzz had it not been named Mustang. At the end of the day, everyone who was put off by them calling it Mustang wouldn’t have bought one anyway. And those who actually bought one would not have bought a Mustang anyway. But people who USED TO want a mustang but now have a kid and need the space were actually intrigued. Many at our small rural dealership test drove it specifically because it was called Mustang just to see why they’d call it such. Some came away impressed.
My problem with the mustang Mach-e is the terrible suspensions, especially the bouncy rear. It feels like it has blown shocks and bounces like a pogo stick
@@dmandman9 I didn’t notice it on my test drive either. It was only when I took it home and drove on roads that induced the bouncing oscillation issue that I realized there was a problem
@@nickmartin8495 yeah but damn they shouldn't have used the mustang name on it the mustang has been produced since 1964 as a 2 door coupe or convertible and now suddenly they're using its name on a 4 door crossover
@@nickmartin8495 Try reading the comment, its nothing about it being an EV its the fact that its a 4 door crossover. Doesn't make much sense to call it a mustang which has always been a two door coupe/convertible.
@@redtra236 george foreman named 5 sons “George”. “What’s in a name?” said William Shakespeare” It’s all marketing, and it triggered some folks for some reason. Maybe that was the goal, and it worked 🤔
I have to say, EVs are biggest con in the last hundred years . For a start , just imagine for a second buyers having to pay extra on top of the already inflated price of an EV to get extra range YOU SHOULD ALREADY HAVE ! Seriously, what a con ! EVs are electricity guzzlers, it’s a proven fact, when you load up an EV compared to an equivalent ICE vehicle, the EV will run out of power much faster. Add to that , the minute you take possession of your EV and start using it gradually that hugely expensive battery pack is going to degrade , and your range and then a massive chunk out of your bank account to replace that expended battery with out any doubt after the warranty runs out. If you want a good abbreviation for the word scam , it is EV !
I really loathe those crossovers. They all look much the same, regardless of brand and they just look like monster bugs (insects) to me. Where did style and panache go to ?
Preach it, brother! SUVs are horrid looking. And they keep blowing up in size. Crazy trend. Btw, what happened to family wagons? The VW Jetta wagon, the Camry Wagon? Many of them offered more sq footage cargo space than some of these thick, bulky, beefy, ugly SUVs.
It’s all subjective. I luv the compact crossovers/SUVs. I cannot stand the pill bugs on wheels, including ioniq 6, model 3, and model y even though it’s an suv it is just a model 3 with a raised roof. No personalities.
