It would have very little useful information at all. When I clicked on electrical for the car on all data, all I got was one technical service bulletin. No information on how to test the electric motor or the battery. It was pretty much useless information

Two things...First you can change the "feel" of the wheel and pedals to make it feel more tight and sporty or loose and relaxed for the handling. Second I definitely recommend the extended warranty as well and even got mine for free :-). And a P.S. if you do have issues I have had much better luck calling Ford themselves than dealing with the dealers. The dealers don't even know what's wrong or how to use anything in the car from what I have seen at the 4 dealers I have been too but when I called Ford themselves they worked everything out for me.

How often do you take a phone, TV, computer or microwave oven in for service? The stuff on an EV most likely to wear out are tires, brakes, wipers, door locks, seat mechanisms. 75% of the moving parts of an ICE are eliminated. Old school mechanics will be repairing older and older poorer condition machines. The simple to do stuff doesn't need ASE certification. The complex stuff will need better diagnostic equipment than a Honda HDS, but will reduce the number to diagnosticians, because there will be fewer modules that are more easily accessible, and they will be exchanged, not fixed in the field.

Their model includes the upfront carbon footprint of mining operations. Unfortunately, some in the media have skewed their reporting to meet an agenda just like how some have pushed a narrative that the U.S. power grid is predominantly coal when in reality coal represents only about 20 percent of the grid.

@Paul Funny how Ford can't sell sedans in the USA, but Chrysler can sell Chargers and 300s. And the foreign car companies can sell the Accord, Civic, Camry, Corolla, Altima, Sentra, Jetta, Legacy, Impreza, etc. MAYBE the issue is Ford just can't figure out how to profitably build a sedan Americans actually WANT to buy! In the old days the Maverick car, Fairmont, and Taurus were all huge sales successes for Ford. Maybe they have the wrong people at the car division.

The only reason Ford put the Mustang name on this car is to sell it. To the best of my recollection, there was never a 4 door Mustang. You can call it a Mustang all you want, but it's no Mustang in my book. This is purely a marketing ploy to get their EV sales numbers up. And let's be clear, the big 3 are not making and selling EV's to compete with Tesla, it's to get their fleet milage numbers up to meet the EPA's fleet mileage requirements. IMHO.

I will relate this to my battery operated tools. One of my batteries carry about 15-18650 cells. It used to hold 4 bars of pwr, now it holds only 3 bars. I'm guessing one of the cells is out, so with constant charging of this EV...well... you know.

[@psdaengr911]

I do know. Your drill battery's life is less than 1000 discharge cycles, the car cells are multiples of 10,000. People don't normally wait until they run out of gas to refill an ICE, will act similarly if not more conservatively with EVs. Your electric drill doesn't use the same chemistry in its batteries, doesn't have software controlled power drain and doesn't have nearly the quality of under and overcharging protection that these cars do.

The mirrors fold when the button is pushed regardless of speed. Every Ford I've ever driven is this way. Same with Nissan. While inconvenient for mirror usage, it has no effect on lane departure or blind spot monitoring systems. Lane departure is handled by a camera at the top of the windshield and blind spot is handled by radar sensors in the rear quarters of the vehicle, in this case, most likely behind the sides of the rear bumper cover.

Gas uses far more energy to get from point A to point B. The mpge of the Mach E is near 100. I would guess an comparable ICE with that kind of horsepower would be around 15mpg. Gas is very energy dense, but internal combustion engines have terrible efficiency relative to EVs.
