The Vehicle That Broke My Brain // 2021 Mustang Mach-E AWD Review 

The best thing about e-beans is they don't give you gas.

Sarah: Bleeps things, but not "fuckin' spaceship". I love this channel

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.

Infrastructure bill includes 50,000 charge stations coming. Many home garages have a 240 V dryer outlet.

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.

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.

I've heard of Borg Warner, but never Bog Warner 😜. Also, the battery has a cooling system. The active shutters are there for that reason as well.

"Its ok to be kinky." -Sarah~n~Tuned(2021)

The narrow tires are 100% due to improving range. You can get a wider tire, but you'll notice a decrease in range.

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 !

great review - thanks, are definitely considering this in the future and now even more convinced. The company that I work for makes the skate board for this car. We have had a Focus Electric for 4 years now and love it, it has range constraints but we knew that buying it and understood up front that it is a 'local' car but having the simplicity of an electric is great. It is time to get a longer range electric.

I was working with Ford when the probe came out, woman hated the name as a reference to a gyno check up. I glad they learned

Priceless commentary🐎🌵Thank you for your day brightening presence.

Great review! I had been looking at them but like most I’ll wait and see how they develop. Also,great since of humor by the way.

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! 🙂

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

Great review. I appreciate that the F-bomb snuck in at the end. :)

Thank you for the WOOWOOWOO, it was on repeat full screen for longer than i probably should have

Yay!!!! We asked for an electric ⚡ and we got a great first start 🤩💕 as always Thank You Sarah!

I agree. They should have called this electric wagon just the Mach-E. I really like the car but really object to calling it a Mustang.

"And obviously because its a fucking spaceship" Never change Sarah! lmao

Always love your reviews, Sarah. I like the life-size picture of James May in the background keeping an eye on things.

The most entertaining/informative review consistently.

Hearing Sarah make the jetsons car noise made my day. Thank you 😊

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.

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.

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

The Jetsons part was spot on girl!

I always enjoy the unrestrained bolstering test. I slow it down for that part, several times, to get the FULL effects. Thanks.

THANK YOU for not using the M word! Another outstanding review - and sound effect!

As usual most knowledgeable car person on internet! Sarah is awesome!

Missed opportunity to bring back the Probe brand.

Absolutely awesome review!

Sleek, elegant, beautiful...and the car is nice, too! Seriously, I've been waiting for the reviews on this car and I think you did a great job.

Love this channel, love her. Awesome personality and sense of humor.

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!

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.

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

Love seeing ev reviews from a car enthusiast!

I don't think the graphic for pound feet made the edit. But, yes it's a lot.

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!!

You know what they should have called it? . . . The Thunderbird. Great Vid Sarah!

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.

You do the best car reviews bar none. Eat your heart out, Doug!

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.

I've been dying for you to review the mustach-e! Yessss!

Best review I've EVER heard! Very Entertaining and informative! lol

At 17: 23 you neglectted "bleeping" out your "fucking spaceship"

Just checking, I understood it to be Borg-Warner! Assimilation is happening! Great review, thanks again Sarah!

Great review. Glad that Ford could come to the plate with a winner and not a whiner. Excited that I get to test drive one this weekend. Cheers

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!

Another great review. I’d love to see your review of a Tesla Model Y Performance as a comparison!

"It's ok to be kinky." I now spilled my tea. It escaped from my nose. 😂

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'

Your style is awesome love see ya do the GT performance, of course I had to subscribe.

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.

"Yes rpm", "immediately rpm"... Best bit 👏😂

Thank you for showing us the underside of the car. As allows, great review!

I have had the pleasure of driving one of these. They are awesome!!!

I’m in agreement w you! Not really a Moose Tank. It’s a Model “E”!!

I completely agree with you, this is not a Mustang.

Sarah, your videos are more informative than a dealer sales person. Thank you. -Neil Tucson, AZ

Haha the wind turbine idea made me laugh...2 words....Mister Fusion lmao. Great video...subbed! :)

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.

The skinny tires=less rolling resistance. A fairly big area of focus for most of the EVs I've seen.

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.

Your reviews are the best . You go girl.

I understand and appreciate Sarah's opinion/review more than any other reviewer on those webs.

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'm giving Sarah five penguins for this great review! I am surprised at the low beans score, though.

Thank you. Love your humor.

loving the EV reviews

In addition to your brilliant wind turbine idea🤣, it’d be great if all gas stations offered high speed DC chargers as well.

I had one of those in front of me yesterday I seen the mustang badge on the back now I know what it is another SUV like they need another one thanks for the sharing 👍

wow as you described the wind turbines. my brain was going the same direction with drag and all.

They could/should have called it the Futura although Probe wouldn't have been bad. Anything but Mustang.

Somebody borrow Sarah a Plaid!

I'm a new viewer (now subscriber). You are fabulously geeky and fun to play with, yet everything you said also made sense. I'll be back.

I just got mine today, WOW super fun to drive.

With how much it weighs and its shape, maybe Ford should have named it "Clydesdale"

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.

The Jetson sound was phenomenal. Love your reviews

Great review. Thank you

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 😊

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 ordered a mach-e 75 kWh rWd last weekend. With a Technology pack plus. Shadow black. Delivery will be april. Can’t wait

I loved your visual brake test! Best I've ever watched! Wouldn't have worked with short hair.

Totally agree with your click bait analogy. Why did they do that?

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!

first time watching you.....love the humor subscribed

Sarah you make it difficult you concentrate on the vehicle. You a baddie. Enjoyed the video, keep up the great work

Bolster test satisfactory :D

Sarah.......Since you have metioned Tucson several times I googled non Tesla chargers and found one network that claims it has 216 chargers in that area, several that are free. Have you moved?

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'

Great video! You really know your stuff.

Digging the electric vehicle reviews. Great content

I love this channel!!!

I feel I need to say it: My favourite part is "Garage Science” with Sarah. Thanks.

I want an engine sound that sounds like the Star Trek TNG Enterprise, kind of that background low roar 😁
