I love that when Jay said he doesn’t like fake engine noises that electric vehicles make, the guy went right to the screen to turn off “propulsion sounds” 🤣🤣

I have a problem with Mustangs being electric. I have issues with EV garbage in general.

[@tslegers]

My first car was a 67 Mustang. Always liked the Mustang brand, and I don’t car that they added a different model to the Mustang line. I ordered the MME GTPE last year and have been driving it daily since October 2021. It is amazing. The acceleration from the torque still puts a smile on my face every time. The smooth quiet ride and technology make it a great vehicle for commuting. And as Jay said, zero maintenance (other than tires). I never have to stop at a gas station to refuel. I just plug it in in the garage about 2x a week and charge while I sleep. To me it’s a great combination of performance, style, convenience, economy. And for all you gearheads, which I am, I also have a 68 Camaro convertible in the garage, just so you know I’m not an anti-ICE guy.

I can appreciate the technology. I can appreciate that this is an SUV. An advanced SUV. But it's not a Mustang. It doesn't look like a Mustang. It looks like something a soccer mom might drive.

It doesn't look like the classic charger. And it's a 4 door! Dame thing with this "Mustang". It's a 4 door SUV.

It just makes Ford look like they were DESPERATE for this car to attract attention, and the only way they could think of was to re-appropriate the name of their 'sportscar'... Agreed, it's probably a great car, but I just hope this doesn't 'backfire' and end up DILLUTING the Mustang badge?

Appreciate how Jay was willing to describe things he didn't like, but did it in a kindly manner. E.g., the lack of a spare tire. The need to look down at the gearshift knob (and screen) rather than grabbing a big shifter. The cues to gas powered cars that don't make sense for electric (but are probably needed to coax folks to accept it). Re: the pointless front grille, one other possibility: the grille has always been a big part of the "face" of a car. Maybe even the most distinctive part. So, what happens if it only has "eyes," no "mouth"? Especially in these days when huge mouths are the fashion. Can they make that look good? An idea for the frunk: make a gas generator, or extra battery pack, that can drop into that space for long distance driving. True it would add a lot of weight and probably make a mess out of driving dynamics, but might be worth it if it increases range by at least 100 miles.

[@quicksilver40]

Talking about car speeds from 0 to 60 I remember an article from either road and track or car and driver from 1988 in which the editor firmly believed cars would never make it to under 5 seconds 0 to 60.

Really good review. I'm 55 and getting my first Mustang in a few months. It's the I.C.E. version of the GT. I'm not ready to jump on the E-revolution for a variety of reasons. While I don't really mind that Ford has an E-version of a Mustang, I'm confused of an SUV version, if that makes sense. While there's a lot of good to say about progress, there's also a lot to say about those things that people can make and feel. Gone will be the days of working on your own car. While I know that many people will gravitate to this new generation, I'm still liking when people say that their Mustang (or whatever ICE car they have) is 'built, not bought." Now, the car is plugged it into a computer/charger, hit the 'enter' button and complete an upgrade. I'm probably romanticizing too much. Thanks, Jay and Ford-guy.

[@BigWhite002]

Keep your ICE forever. Ford has yet to make a mustang EV. But what they did make was a Ford Escape EV. And called it a mustang. Mustangs as everyone knows is not a suv. Does not have 4 doors. Everything about calling the Mach E a mustang is a joke and is all about marketing.

If this proves to be true in the future, then electric cars will not last as long on the road as petrol / diesel cars. You could have a situation where in the lifetime of a petrol/ diesel car, two or three electric cars have to be made - therefore overall the total environmental issues caused per each electric car built could be more than per petrol/ diesel car.

Naming it a Mustang showed their followers that Ford is dead serious about their commitment to the technology and to this model in particular. And so it seems. Risky?

The biggest issue with EV Mustang vs a Tesla is not the car itself (although Tesla gets better range), it is the fact the Tesla has the best and dedicated charging network in America. Not only do they charge faster, but within your car you can see on the screen where the available stations are but more importantly real on the spot information as to how many units are being used, how many are available and so on. They are also owned and maintained by Tesla. Ford or any other company for that matter does not have this and your are sort of at the mercy of these third-party charging stations, many of which are a franchise and often attached to regular gas stations. And often they may not be operating, or not have a fast-charger, etc. A KZbin channel I follow, MKBHD (tech related with over 15 million subs) last October did a great comparison. He took his Tesla Plaid, a Mustang EV (I forget what trim level) and an Audi with a standard V8. They went on a 1,000 mile trip in the upstate New York area, stopping as needed to charge or fill with gas. Long story short, the Audi made the route in the quickest, Tesla a very close second, and the Mustang a distant third. Why? The available charging station information the Mustang was getting was woefully inaccurate and often they would pull up only to find the station closed or the charging units not working. The other point is with Tesla you have one account, one payment system, etc. and get detailed information constantly. But with Ford or others you may have to have several accounts with all these several third-party operators, using their apps, relying on their payment systems and so on. And there is the biggest rub with anything other than a Tesla. The Mustang is doing great because heck… It has the Mustang name and it was smart of Ford to capitalize on that. But no other brand can come close to Tesla. Again, not the car itself, but it’s the infrastructure that is the key!

The 10-hour charge time is when you’re plugging it in at home at night (on a 240 outlet), when it’s not an issue that it takes time. On road trips you need to look for that higher level charger.

Been a fan of Jay Leno for many years and enjoy his sense of humor and the content that he puts out, but this is not a Mustang, it's rebadged and restyled Ford Escape with a golf cart powerplant. Anyone attempting to tell you anything else is either trying to sell you something or has never owned a V8 powered Mustang. Mustangs (at least back when I first started driving in 1989) were affordable cars that responded well to simple, cheap mods and had a dual exhaust with nice exhaust note and a torquey engine. You could advance the timing, remove the air silencer, drop in K&N replacement panel air filter, install a pair of Flowmaster mufflers on the car, install a Hurst short throw shifter (if you had a 5-speed), put some 3.55 or 3.73 gears in the rear end and for a few hundred dollars in mods have one of the faster cars in your town or High School parking lot. Once you turned the key on that 5.0 Mustang and heard that exhaust note for the first time or stepped on the gas felt that 3,000 lbs. car lurch forward and push you back in the seat you knew that you were driving something special and didn't concern yourself with trivial things like gas mileage or how many ways you can adjust the seat position. The Mustang is an enthusiasts car which has inspired future generations of gear heads and Hot Rodders since its introduction while the Mach-E appears to be nothing more than an SUV designed to run errands and pick up your kids with after school with.
