Dont forget about battery pack degradation.

[@AFJDM]

On one hand batteries do slowly lose range and thus decrease the value along with simple wear and tear to the interior and moving mechanical parts in the powertrain. However the yearly maintenance and fueling costs are much lower than ICE vehicles and software updates could help an EV that loses 20 miles of max range over time regain some if not all of that. EVs will depreciate for sure but they are gonna do so at a noticeably slower rate, for better or worse.

The wheels on your Mustang Mach E GT are some of the best looking wheels period. I call the Mach E a hatchback like the Stinger GT2. Regarding the interior. I find it excellent in the Premium of which my son owns. Any time we visit each other. I can't resist taking in out for a drive. If you haven't test driven a Mach E. You're missing out on some solid performance with it's instant torque in a hatchback that handles extremely well. He looked at a Tesla And wasn't impressed with it's fit and finish, especially the paint job or in some cases the lack of. I feel Ford has hit several home runs with the Mustang Mach E, Broncos, Maverick Lightning and the refreshed front end and the interior of the Expedition

I have also seen multiple people post about Tesla quality problems. The paint and fit and finish are among the biggest problems. Cheap looking materials also.

[@Armen567]

I love it but in Canada it’s another EV that seems just so expensive. Up here a Premium extended range AWD Mach E is about 74K, plus tax (13% in Ontario). A GT is going to be about 85K, plus tax. A GT performance will be over 100K out the door.

I like aggressive regen for at least one reason that I do not see mentioned much. In an emergency reaction situation, you do not have to wait until your foot moves to the brake pedal. The moment that you lift off the accelerator, you are slowing down.

[@donswier]

Glad to see another driver appreciate this aspect. Reaction time is a huge factor in emergency braking, and the initial regen braking also prevents a sudden, weight-shifting spike once the friction brakes are engaged. Our i3REx with fixed, heavy regen is awesome in heavy traffic.

[@TrueDesire존]

There are models coming from so many companies, and they differ in various ways. The Hyundai/Kia models are handsome and have a great combination of range and charging speed, but it's too soon to know how well they drive. Most of the European models offer a lot less range (it's less of a priority there), but can be nice otherwise. Personally, I think this market category will look very different in a couple of years.

You really don’t need an EV faster than mid-5s to 60. You will be substantially faster than all traffic around you anyway and you are not going to track a 2-ton vehicle. All you get with more power is a greater chance of accidentally severely speeding or going into a corner way way too fast because of how well EVs hide speed.

[@jim6807]

[@Sylvan_dB]

"need" LOL. When did any of this become about "need"? What does tracking a vehicle have to do with "need'? How did you arrive at "need" for mid-5s instead of mid-6s or mid-8s? Why do you feel compelled to tell others what they need? I find that those who proclaim what others "need" come with varying amounts of one or both attributes: * severely narcissistic (and typically trying to fake how much they care) * profoundly stupid (and convinced they are smarter and so must take care of everyone else) Both attributes make it difficult or impossible for the sufferer to understand the meaning of "people are different."

[@malifestro3319]

Supposed to be 3.8, but when you floored it YT shows it took 5 seconds. The performance GT is supposed to be 3.5 but yours looked about 4.5. Was there a reason for such a difference that I missed?

[@CorgiAndKeebs]

If the car isn't in unbridled extend mode, the car's throttles back the power output typically after one 0-60 run due to the battery and powertrain warming up too much and the cooling system isn't doing a good job. It's pretty sad that Ford would market the GT & GTPE as a performance lineup with all the shortcomings. You can't even get in one good quarter mile run since the car throttles back the power after 70 mph, which is why it traps lower than it should in the 1/8th and 1/4 mile. Trap speeds are roughly 86 and 104 mph, respectively. This thing should be trapping at 92 and 113 mph, roughly. In terms of performance, no Tesla owner would be worried. Even the 50-70 acceleration is inferior, roughly 1.9-2.0 seconds. Even the Model Y Long Range with the acceleration boost is faster (1.7s). The Y Performance does 50-70 in 1.5s. Pros and cons to each. Tesla has the better charging network, better software, better performance. Ford has a nicer interior, better seats (GTPE), dealer network is more established. Tesla still needs to establish more service centers. Ford needs to improve on software (PaaK, UI responsiveness) along with more performance out of the GT & GTPE.

I never liked the minimalist interior or the rubber ducky face, and the glass roof has no shade. I do like the room inside and the responsive screen, though I wished it swiveled toward the driver more, instead of looking slapped onto the dash. I do like the styling of the Mach-e and EV6 the most of all the EV SUV's. I don't like the weight of the e's battery and inefficiency. The EV6 uses a 77 kWh battery to get the same range and performance, albeit in a smaller package, and at a lower price. Both can get the current $7500. tax credit, but Ford may be elegible for more if the battery is made here in the US and if congress passes the EV credit bills. Surprisingly, the Mach-e is made in Mexico.

In what driving conditions do you benefit from having the adaptive damping on the GT?

[@peiguy1982]

I've seen with the moose test Ford did typical Mustang chassis tuning. Which means someone is more likely to make an arse of themselves leaving the cars and coffee. True to the Mustang name. I wonder if they have addressed this with the GT. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIG3gHWZbZ1msMk

Wasn't that test done with Mach E RWD and the rest AWD?

So glad to see Ford get in the game!

Poor quarter mile time that no one mentions suspiciously

[@RDYOUTUBE54]

Poor 1/4 times? It runs 12.3s. That's faster than a standard c7 corvette. The tesla maybe quicker but there's nothing poor about those times. Ot would cost at least 100k to buy a gas powered SUV to go quicker.

Some of what this guy says makes no sense. The GT and GT Performance have the same brakes so why would the Performance stop better? Especially since the Performance weighs more because of the M ride. Then there's the power difference. First of all you're talking about a minimal amount of torque. Second. In real world you're not feeling a difference between 3.5 and 3.8 0-60. Third, because of that extra torque you get more torque steer which means more wheel slippage. So I would bet in real world the standard GT is every bit as quick as the Performance. Not to mention wouldn't you think that the M ride would be more taxing on the batteries which would degrade Performance?

[@didiermejia780]

I'm kinda regretting not ordering the performance option on my GT. The only thing I wanted from the GTPE was the magnaride, but 5k?

[@stupiddingo02]

Same. And the fact that those summer tires are going to need to be instantly replaced with winter coming in the PNW adding to the cost. Still, really happy to have waited it out for my GT, already shipped and just 2 more weeks until delivery... Been a long wait since my deposit in Feb.

[@nottom3309]

I'm curious if Ford will make a fastback coupe version of the Mach E. This is a good crossover that will likely sell well, but after seeing that Mini ev, I'm starting to think that a lower range small ev can also sell well if driving is fun.

[@markmiller3279]

I'd be surprised. This is already a lot closer to the coupified utes than it is to any classic SUV.

[@brownro214]

This vehicle appeals to the folks who don't want to be seen in a Tesla. If Ford wants to be successful, (I'm not sure they do) they need to stop dealers form marking up the Mach E. Supply is limited so some dealers are tacking on as much as $10,000 out the door. This for a car that is inferior to the competition in range and performance. Our son went to a Ford dealer and took a test drive in a Mach E. He was not particularly impressed, but the telling thing was the dealer follow-up. The salesman didn't even mention the EV when he called. He wanted to know what they could do to get our son in a new ICE car.

[@23Eladdo]

Model Y can sit 7. No? How many can sit in a Mach E? Are they really the same category?

[@sunnyvalentino]

Dayum, this car is a looker. Hella mean and fast. Superlike.

[@rkgsd]

I can't imagine Ford didn't study why it weighs more than the Tesla Model Y but it seems they were content to sell it with the extra weight and lower range.

[@tippyscope]

I had a Mustang. The car broke down every week when I was working as an intern. I will never forgive Ford for the rest of my life no matter how good is this car.

[@leonbey9593]

And who's supposed to care?

[@thomasjacques5286]

Is power still cut after 5 seconds?

[@AdamJakowenko]

Do you think/know if the GT has a newer/faster processor for infotainment or is it just better tweaked software? Asking as a First Edition owner who is wondering if we'll eventually get what seems to be the snappier infotainment and better Carplay display

[@marvinkaskawits973]

In the view in the trunk, it looks like the rear seats fold down. Do they?

[@jdsteel]

Yes. Split seat arrangement. Both go down for a decent amount of space.

So much better than any SUV from Japan today!

[@naveenthemachine]

Agreed.

[@chosenArchitec]

Sometimes I like to pause the video to look at the car/s passing by 14:08

[@Obloms]

For the money, interior materials, lack of 3 climate zones, iffy front seats are all a downer. Also, personally I hate glass roofs without a means to close it ala ID.4.

[@markmiller3279]

I do find the lack of proper seat adjustments stupid. How much would a tilt mechanism cost? There are a few other odd omissions that Ford's bean counters shouldn't have been able to push through. This is not a cheap vehicle. Look at how much Hyundai and Kia offer for the same money, Ford. That should be where you start.

[@kimblakely4559]

Seems that Ford dealers are slapping on an extra 20K for these cars. One I seen took the price 90K, Don't think Tesla has to worry right now
