2025 Mustang Mach-E - Full tour & new details at the LA Auto Show!

[@mrjonlor]

I’ve heard Ford say a few times that people don’t use their frunks much. Frankly, I’d use my frunk a lot more if it was more convenient to get into. To open the trunk, there’s a button on the fob and another on the trunk itself. To get into the frunk requires opening the door and pulling on the release twice or pulling out the phone and using the app. It’s faster just to walk around to the back and hit the button.

[@MachE_VLOG]

Yep, that is exactly why we don't use our frunk as much.

[@AdamJakowenko]

100%. I didn't use it much until I programmed an F150 Lightning key to my Mach-E so there's a frunk button on the fob and now I use it ALL the time since I can open it from the fob. I ding Ford for this excuse, they're using the data ina flawed way. It's like saying "Data shows very few Americans drive imported pickup trucks so there's no demand for that". There's a reason behind the data, just take 5 minutes to think about it, guys.

[@mrjonlor]

@@AdamJakowenkoAgreed. The other thing that really ground my gears in this interview was the amount of navel gazing they apparently did over the door badging. Seriously, does anyone outside of Ford care that much about it? Is there anyone who’s contemplated buying a Mach-E who said, “Nah. The door badging is too confusing.” No. Seriously, I’d say either make it say just “Mach-E” or even better, eliminate it altogether and save a couple of bucks on every Mach-E made… Problem solved.

[@lkuhn65]

I use my frunk for two things: 1. to stow my computer bag when I travel. It feels more secure than the cabin or rear hatch. 2. To bring home takeout food. To keep smells out of the cabin.

[@lkuhn65]

Love that Velocity Blue. Had that on a '03 GT

[@ViaBuenCorazon]

First, Tom Somerville was fantastic! Clear of thought and presentation, and VERY knowledgeable and informative. Thanks for having him on. And, as usual, Patrick’s detailed knowledge of all things Mach-E was impressive. I very much appreciated the show!

[@helidaho]

My 2015 ICE Mustang GT performance edition had ventilated seats. So ventilated performance seats exist.

[@Yanquetino]

I bet this was FUN for you two. Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@MachE_VLOG]

You know it! And oh my gosh that Velocity Blue tripped me out in person! Can't wait to see it next to Grabber Blue! - Liv

[@OmarSerajKazi]

Thank you both for the wonderful update 🙂. Hello from Canada !

[@fancytableshoes]

Ford should include a frunk-capable keyfob with a random sample of Mach-Es, and see how frunk use changes. Since replacing mine with a Lightning fob, I use the frunk for literally everything that will fit in there.

[@MachE_VLOG]

Great idea!

[@danfromtheinternet]

SO COOL!! thanks for the vid y'all!

[@IMAN7THRYLOS]

Ford makes beautiful cars!

[@gregkemp4933]

It would be nice to have heads up display and a sunroof that opens.

[@JohnMiller08]

Do we know if the frunk is still drainable? 🤔

[@ChargingtheRoad]

The heat pump is definitely going to be needed for here in Chicago. But don't move anywhere! I wanna move back to SoCal! I'm going to miss the dial because it added that small elegant to the EV sense of the mach-e. You guys are amazing! Thanks for putting this video out so fast!

[@josephdan2850]

I love heat pump, but I think it should use more design clues from 2 doors mustang version. I don’t like Tesla’s version of column shifter. I think ford should use same column shifter as F-150 and super duty.

[@enzop.3227]

Why not easy access to the 12 volt battery terminals, instead of having to remove panels.

[@douglasparker5382]

I'm a bit confused about the complimentary, free-install, home charger unit. A large show display advertising the bonus next to the 2025 Mach-E, not available to purchase until early 2025, but all on-line information states the offer applies only to Ford e-vehicle purchases made before January 2, 2025. That seems to eliminate the free charger/ free install for purchases of the 2025 Mach-E. Am I missing something?

[@MachE_VLOG]

It was a bit confusing and I asked if it might be continued in 2025. They said, "we have nothing to announce at this time."

[@smolls83]

I’d call your dealer but my understanding is folks can pre-order 2025 model year cars now and qualify for this. However that power promise is mostly to incentivize selling 2024s to move them off dealer lots.

[@Bzzap83]

Any V2L/V2H ???

[@Yielar1]

Glad to see the heat pump included for 2025. I could get used to the stock shifter pretty quickly and like the extra space in the center area now available

[@jovymac7986]

Kudos to Ford for having one of the best apps! We have an Ioniq5 and Blazer EV and Ford has the more reliable app from our experience! 😊

[@jovymac7986]

Will the maintenance cost on the heat pump be worth the “fringe” advantage? Ioniq5 suggests changing the low conductivity coolant every 60,000km and costs $900! Tesla says its low conductivity coolant never needs changing for the life of the vehicle. I wonder what Ford will suggest…

[@Shawn-s5c]

Can you still use frunk as a cooler ?

[@anthropod76]

Thanks so much for this video. Just purchased a 2024 GT in Grabber Blue. Love the 2025 but this video made be happy that I got the 2024 even more. (Color and bigger frunk) BC 1.5 sounds nice but not super necessary for me. Great to see the Mach-E pushing forward. We now have two in our garage.

[@Slo_Fox_Canuck]

I basically did the same thing as you (colour and all). The heat pump is great, but even for me (Canada) based on my driving habits it wont make the difference. In 3 years when I upgrade, I think it will be more necessary. I really think the complimentary charger and standard install is an amazing move from ford. That's a premium unit!

[@anthonyc8499]

Some really nice improvements to the Mustang Mach-E for 2025! Can't wait to see these on the road.

[@davidgrammerstorf9433]

I'm in NY, so that heat pump is huge for me. I'm also glad I had the option of sports appearance on premium. Hearing about chassis retuning sounds promising.

[@joweb1320]

Thank you. Would like to know how loud the heat pump is in the 2025. This is very important to me.

[@MachE_VLOG]

As soon as we get a chance, we'll test one and see how loud it sounds.

[@joweb1320]

@MachE_VLOG Thanks the refreshed Rivian is really loud.

[@FordEnthusiast413]

Wow! That Velocity Blue looks really awesome. Now what to I do? Do I get a ‘24 that comes with The Ford Power Promise and $5000 or get a ‘25? I am keeping fingers crossed that Ford will still offer the free charger and installation past 1/2/2025!

[@jsandersonVT]

I’m a master ford technician and I own a 2024 Mach e, I love it but seeing this new one I was really hoping they would refresh the interior a little bit. Would almost like to see the massive instrument cluster display that’s in the new gas mustangs be implemented into the Mach E somehow, just seems to make sense from a technological standpoint

[@MachE_VLOG]

From a manufacturing standpoint, I doubt they will refresh the interior until 2027.

[@Longsnowsm]

Ford has the nicest people working for them. Good interview and peek at the 2025. "Does it have a heat pump?" FINALLY. Now about that charging speed? LOL GT and Shelby editions need to be "Mustang performance" editions and really tuned for that role and able to take a beating and keep on bringing it. Lets start going after the Taycan levels of performance. Love that Ford is bringing fun and interesting colors. Imagine that, "stalks". Glad Ford is listening, but hope they start implementing those things faster. Like people asking to be able to see the charge rate on the dash of the Lightning. Listening is great, but let's see move of those requests get done. Camp modes, dog mode, the ability to run Pro power without turning on the vehicle. Backwards compatibility is important.

[@anthonyc8499]

Man, you just hit the nail on the head on so many things! The charging speed is way too slow and takes twice as long as Hyundai/Kia. For a performance vehicle, the GT again falls flat vs Tesla and not even close to the Koreans. The software hurts a bit with some basic EV features that are missing. Where’s the kW gauge? It’s frustrating!

[@Longsnowsm]

@@anthonyc8499 I really like the Ford team. I am rooting for them. Hoping they step up. They are delaying T3 to 2027. I don't know what they are going to do to keep interest in the EV products until they launch the next gen vehicles. I am more than a little worried for them.

[@anthonyc8499]

@ I can understand the concern about Ford. The lack of any new EVs since 2022 and the delays of new products seems bad. However, Farley has seen the future in China and the Board seems to know how things are changing. To me, it’s what the next gen platforms bring that will make or break Ford’s efforts to survive the transition.

[@AdamJakowenko]

So disappointed I cant get Magnaride and ventilated seats. Come on, Ford you're killin me!!

[@ArchieOnEarth]

So if the shifter goes where the wiper stalk was, where did the wiper controls go?

[@MachE_VLOG]

Combined with the blinker stalk on the left.

[@Roy-qn2ie]

Heatpump will be great here in Norway for battery charging speeds. Also i think you should go to the dealer its time to turn in for a 25 model to stay relevant on the channel. (thank me later)

[@anthonyc8499]

Naw, you can’t tell the difference from a ‘21 to a ‘25. There have been a ton of incremental changes but you gotta be in the weeds to know. Next gen Mach-E will be when to switch.

[@FthePump]

It’s a great EV for sure!

[@lonenone-t9t]

If i see well, there isn't an L mode on the new gear that Is moved near the steer, Is there no chance tò select regeneration brake quantity in 2025 model?

[@RonBme]

I'm a premium owner. I chose the premium all-wheel drive extended range. I did this because I wanted the distance over the GT which loses the distance but it gains performance. Wish the performance on the premium. It's a tad bit slower but the premium is just as fast. Not to mention when you get more people into the electric vehicles like the programmers, the developer software developers, you'll have people that can do what they do to increase speed to increase range to its Max performance on the premium models. But I would have loved and wanted to see magneride suspension on the premium models. I just thought it was more money. When I do decide to change out the suspension I will take it to Ford and see if Ford will sell me magna ride suspension for the vehicle. I didn't care about the G. Seating. Overall I want it range

[@CaptDnaDonut]

This was a great video. I would appreciate the heatpump in my Mustang Mach-E in Virginia but I appreciate the bigger frunk. I wish the performance appearance package available when I got my Mach-E even more now since Cyber Orange isn't a color you can choose anymore. But I ended up getting the old GT rims my premium because I wanted the wider tires and they looked so good. I really hope we get the instrument cluster update. Having a power bar is one thing I've been wanting since I got my car. If we could get the speed in the center again with the cool graphics I would be very happy.

[@ronb4633]

Patrick, what do you mean about some EVs are blobs??? 😂 Love the videos from you guys! 👍

[@themidnighttavern6784]

They don't have a very strongly defined shape, they just look like one big mass on wheels with no real styling. Think things like that Mercedes EV sedan. Ford's said their upcoming 30k affordable small EVs won't look like anything people expect. I really hope that doesn't mean they look like areo blobs.

[@AjayKumar-wl4sv]

When can a Mach e built with regular charge port like tesla? Can the charge speed match to tesla cars?

[@MachE_VLOG]

The Mach-E has an industry standard charge port. The charging times of the Mach-E are actually pretty comparable to the Model Y at 10-80%.

[@blackpriest14]

I really like your profung questions to ford. well done interview, llooking forward to the 2025 model. Since I am based in europe, can you address some questions related to EU models setups available (e.g. some trims come standard or different setups like the performance pack was stabdard in any GT in the past)

[@stanmisiak5634]

What about the charge port

[@freddyfresh2686]

Tesla destination charger adapter for ford is different from super charger adapter ?

[@MachE_VLOG]

Yes. It is the same for any non-Tesla EV. You would need one adapter for Superchargers and another for Destination Chargers.

[@doncooper2344]

I'd rather have more space in the frunk than a heat pump. I don't blame Ford for making that tradeoff. I think Tesla -- because they used them -- convinced way too many people that it mattered. The fact he can't give you a range increase number says it all about how important it is. The metric about how often you use the frunk is misleading. I rarely open the frunk but it's terrific when road tripping. It's an absolutely phenomenal place to store things you don't use very often. But again, I understand that telling your customers they don't know what is good for them is a losing argument. Biggest improvement for me might be the retuned suspension. Have to see how that works. I love moving the shifter on the stick. That's one thing I like on the Tesla. The ventilated seats might be great but I've never been uncomfortable with the existing seats.

[@RonBme]

Okay okay I have to admit maybe I don't know what a heat pump is. I'm under the the assumption that it was only for to keep the battery at a warm temperature during cold weather. But from with the guy just explained is for the Texas heat as well which I'm from the north. I'm from New Jersey but I live in Texas

[@MachE_VLOG]

The heat pump should be more efficient than the current heater and more efficient than the current AC.

[@aquint5554]

Suspension, ventaled/heateds, and heat pump were one of the few reasons I went BlazerEV. I do feel Ford is much more in-tuned with software as well. I hope for FOrd customers, they don't use the excuse of older hardware to discontinue support for BlueCruise. They'd be leaving money on the floor and further validation to look at a Tesla for a one stop solution

[@TB-um1xz]

How's the Blazer android auto?????

[@aquint5554]

@TB-um1xz I really like it. I can readily charge my phone as it no longer heats up trying to run AA. There's been maybe two instances where the Spotify fails to load where it left off

[@irishskipper9620]

Would love to see them add a HUD.

[@MachE_VLOG]

I used to dislike HUDs, but now they have really gotten good and I wish we had one in our Mach-E.

[@samwarren1429]

How about a lighted glovebox? Hands free liftgate?

[@RonBme]

Hey, let me first say again like I always do when I leave a comment is thank you and it's good to see you again. I've been following you for the past year and I'm glad to see you guys are doing with you too. Love to do now. The 2025 Mach E I have to say I'm jealous because they have a heat pump and I don't but they give you some insight. I am an electrician and I do store my backpack which is my tool bag as well as my insulated water boots hard hating best I store my tools for work in my frunk. So it sucks to see that you're losing space for the frunk because of the heat pump but like the guy explained something gots to go

[@brianstevens7241]

Good video. Like your hair Liv.

[@MachE_VLOG]

Thanks Brian! 💙 - Liv

[@ammotroop9708]

Should have ask about easier access to 12v battery.

[@TechnicalLee]

That's becoming less important as the 12V software improves. Most new owners don't have issues anymore and don't care about it.

[@ammotroop9708]

It's still important when it comes to having to install a new one yourself. Or when battery dies somewhere and you need a jump from someone. Just hold on I have to remove the panels to get to my battery without dropping and losing the clip. Sorry I don't have time to wait while you do all that.

[@tonystorcke]

No NACS port ? Truly a shame on Ford if there isn't.

[@MachE_VLOG]

Nope, we covered this in our first video about the 2025 Mach-E. I don't see it as a big deal. Either you have CCS and use a NACS adapter or you have NACS and use a CCS adapter. For most people that rarely DCFC, it won't be a big deal.

[@BuellXB12SDucati1198]

The elephant in the room is the charge port location versus Tesla short cables on their charging stations. Longer cables or relocate the charging port? Ford really needs to address this so we don't feel like A**holes taking up odd spaces at Tesla charging stations.

[@tonystorcke]

​@@BuellXB12SDucati1198Tesla will be increasing the cable length. Tesla put their connector in such a ridiculous location since most of their chargers are not pull through.

[@TechnicalLee]

Probably next year. They said late 2025 at the earliest.

[@MachE_VLOG]

@@BuellXB12SDucati1198 Tesla has announced they will be deploying more stalls with longer cables and have worked to make it easier for people to access their Superchargers. From personal experience, we have charged dozens of times and never prevented or delayed anyone from charging because we were taking up two stalls. Many times, we were able to park in a spot where we used just one stall and many times there were less that 25% of the stalls in use.

[@grunky0]

No NACS charging port? WTF? Glad they added a heat pump, but frunk became unusable...

[@vertablue3803]

That would look so great besides my velocity blue f150!!

[@FawziBreidi]

i put anything that might smell in the frunk such as takeout food, left over. gym bag, etc.. i hope the software is faster and a more powerful processor is included.

[@patrick7228]

I'm rooting for Ford. They make a good product and seem to have good people working for them but I think the dealers pushback on EV's is going to be too much for them to overcome. I see them transitioning to PHEV and Hybrids primarily.

[@kjkromm]

Hate the gear shift knob on the damn stalk!

[@1911z4ever]

Wow. As soon as I saw those wheels... curb curb curb. Ouch

[@KMPeSales]

I see that the charging port is still up front, is it a CCS or NACS? It's a nice sales pitch to mention that Tesla is included in the Blue Oval network, however I think it is important to let people know that there are existing customers still waiting since March 2024 for an adapter to use a Tesla Supercharger. Also, not all Tesla Superchargers are open to non-Tesla EVs. The 24x7 "live support" is not as great as advertised. The Mach-E has its pros, but the cons need to be pointed out as well.

[@MachE_VLOG]

We could have a long discussion about the adapters and Supercharger network, but that would make for a very long video. Ford has added a second supplier for the adapters so the backlog should be eliminated pretty quickly. Ford (and other non-Teslas) have access to 17,800 SC stalls. We've covered the details in numerous other videos already. And for new EV onwers, the 24/7 support will be really helpful and something not available from other manufacturers.

[@KMPeSales]

@@MachE_VLOG the USA is 3.8 million square miles so 17,800 stalls isn't really much. BTW Tesla states 15,000+ stalls. Nevertheless, the number of EV stalls isn't as important as the distance between EV stalls. I know you're in California so you don't really see the disadvantages of EV day trips. I have a Mach-E GT and a V8 ICE, hands down the ICE is better for anything more than 240 miles. I reserved my NACS adapter on 3/3/2024, let's see if it arrives any time soon.

[@MachE_VLOG]

@@KMPeSales We've also lived in Colorado and taken Mach-E road trips on the East Coast. The available Supercharger network combined with the existing CCS network has worked out very well in our road trips. Probably the biggest gap between chargers that we had was between Green River and Salinas, Utah. That is only 107 miles and is easily doable.

[@KMPeSales]

@@MachE_VLOG 107 miles is not bad at all. We're in AZ. My most common road trip is Vegas. Took the Mach-E three times in 2024 so I had to charge at the EA site in Kingman six times. Every time at least 2 of 4 units were broken! It's a little over 170 miles between the only two DC charging stations I have on my route; Anthem and Kingman. I must charge at those two locations otherwise I can't make it. I have to drive slower than the ICE vehicles in order to maintain 2.3 mi/kWh. The usual flow of traffic between Wickenburg and Kingman is 85 MPH. If I keep that pace I'll barely get 2.0 mi/kWh. As for day trips (no overnight stay) to rural sights / hiking areas: Snowbowl, Tucson, Sedona, Holbrook, Apache Junction the round trip distance between a charging site and some of the rural areas is dangerously close to the max real world range of the vehicle (about 200-240 miles at 100% SOC). Elevation variance and ambient temperature affect the efficiency dramatically so in many cases the real total range is more like 200 miles. Don't get me wrong, I love my Mach-E for local daily use. It's just not as feasible as my ICE for family day trips that exceed 240 miles. If the max distance between DC fast charging stations were 100 miles in all directions, then it would be much better. I chose Ford over Tesla because Jim Farley said that Ford will be able to use the Tesla network. I am disappointed that the NACS adapter has been delayed so much.

[@MachE_VLOG]

@@KMPeSales As soon as you have the adapter, you'll see your options grow a lot. We charged in Kingman, Las Vegas, and Needles this summer at the Supercharger and it is a gamechanger. Now that Ford isn't just relying on Tesla to make adapters, I bet they will get caught up quickly.

[@peterjaniceforan3080]

🐎⚡️👍

[@jackofalltrades4091]

All they need to do now is get rid of the stupid rotary dial in the screen and add phsical buttons for AC

[@MachE_VLOG]

For many Mach-E owners including us, the knob on the screen is one of our favorite features. Easily accessible and multi-function.

[@jackofalltrades4091]

@MachE_VLOG okay fair enough, but what about adding physical buttons for the climate control

[@jesseslong6800]

I have to say the change in the gear shift is a deal breaker. I totally hate column shifters.

[@Yielar1]

I actually prefer it as it opens up space where it's needed

[@benderbalsam7066]

Is that car Future Bluesifer?🤣

[@MachE_VLOG]

I dunno! I'm not sure if we will upgrade next year and if we do, we also love Grabber Yellow and Eruption Green.

[@Jferrari427]

The infotainment software/hardware is slow/laggy/somewhat buggy compared to other modern vehicles. I have a 2023 Mach-E Premium and a 2024 Mustang GT and the 2024 is WAY faster/better, more responsive, not buggy, etc…

[@bgaviator]

I noticed that in my friend’s 24 Mach E. When she was showing me the various things on the screen, some things took awhile to load. Kinda weird for 2024

[@MachE_VLOG]

No one has really seen a 2025 system in action. Sounds like they have made some hardware improvements.

[@eyeofhorus70]

Was looking forward to a full tour and yet you showed the frunk and a glance at the front of the interior. 33 minutes of a lot of nothing.

[@MachE_VLOG]

It was a full tour of all all of the changes. Most of the big changes you can't see - heat pump and retuned suspension.

[@Throttle_Dweebs]

I hope Ford reads this. Please make the column shifter available as a retrofit for previous years of Mach-E.

[@majinbuu19831]

what a complete load of bullshyt about the rotary shifter, first off people were weird to complain about that. it did not take up to much space at all, in fact the rotary shifter was a perfect position for me an probably the majority of us normal folks because when i drive i tend to rest my hands just a few inches away an over the rotary shifter, but now since the shifter is placed their now i have to make my arm trave 3 miles to the shifter just to gear select thats sad not to mention the frunk is significantly smaller then 2024 mach e which is even sadder i think ill keep my 2024 mach e premium an check out the redesigned 2025 kia ev6.

[@TechnicalLee]

They are trying to make it more like a Model Y so people will convert.

[@jovymac7986]

Will the maintenance cost on the heat pump be worth the “fringe” advantage? Ioniq5 suggests changing the low conductivity coolant every 60,000km and costs $900! Tesla says its low conductivity coolant never needs changing for the life of the vehicle. I wonder what Ford will suggest…
