Ford Mustang Mach-E

[RobDickinson]

Lots of details leaked from a website.







$60k for the first edition launch model, lowest is $44k (230miles)

Look like you can spec rwd or awd, gt model 0-60 in mid 3s, 150kw charging.

Guessing it's on the MEB platform?

Specs and price great, but hopefully that's not really how it looks. Its like a pre face lift Model S thats got married, had kids and decided to just eat KFC everyday!

[PBCD]

Looks very promising, but can I be the first to make the inevitable "ruined by massive iPAD stuck on the dash" comment?!

It might (just about) work in a Tesla, but for some reason Polestar, and now Ford, seem to think that imitation is
the sincerest form of flattery...

Having said that, if Ford can get this out before the Model Y, they might steal some of Tesla's thunder next year!

[RobDickinson]

Latest vw concept interior is basically a model 3 rip off

I expect this to be out late 2020, model Y should be out before mid year I think, possibly by March

[Witchfinder]

Not sure about that nose. Otherwise looks great!

[jjwilde]

Does it have over the air updates? I also don't know how they are going to handle the issue that there is no charging network for it.

Aside from that though it does look good. Congratulations Ford, finally something which looks like a real competitor to the X/Y.

It does make the interior look very modern/futuristic though. There's a guy on here who went with the Model X over the I-Pace because (his kids) it felt so much more futuristic, i.e it didn't feel like a normal car inside.

What do you mean no charging network? Surely it'll have CCS charging.

Yup, plus the Ionity network which Ford and a few other minor players (MB, BMW, VAG etc etc) are joint shareholders in.

If they stuck with the name Ford Mach E, all would be good if you like massive SUV style EVs but Mustang, Good Lord!

Thankfully Polestar have entirely avoided Teslaitis. Full instrument and nav panel in driver eye line, physical switchgear plus voice control for key operations, and portrait orientation for Android system touchscreen.

It does but it's not like you can drive it across the USA worry free like you can with a Tesla. You get a charging network which is a mess with limited stations.

[SWoll]

Not disagreeing you necessarily, but have either of you actually spent time using the system in the Model 3?

[scottydoesntknow]

Not a fan of the styling. I’m getting a whiff of Mk1 Hyundai Coupe.

That nose cone something makes me vomit uncontrollably.

I'll bet you anything you like that's not true.

It's true, it looks horrible.

There are fewer individual chargers, but they are more widespread. There are three times as many CCS locations as Supercharger locations in the US, and seventeen times as many in in Europe!

[anonymous-user]

I've heard bad things about Ford's infotainment system. Maybe the EV stuff will be better but I'm not expecting too much.

Also kinda old fashioned look now with a fake grille thing and wing mirrors. The headlights look cool though.

[Gandahar]

They have struggled getting rid of the front radiator grille haven't they, it looks somewhat prolapsed.

The Mustang things are a mistake.

Mach E would have been fine and they should have made it complexly differently looking.

The specs from what I can see seem to be on point for the driving side. I think it might be a grower. Who knows though ...
