[@TheSeg]

As an owner of a Job 1 Mach-E, I've been waiting to see what your all's review of the car will be. Glad you all like it! I do have a few notes of anyone wanting context from an owner. 3:01 - The divider was standard and not an option. I had to get a special tool, but I removed the barriers, but kept the left-most barrier back in. A small space for bottles or other small stuff and a large space for whatever. 3:23 - The drain is automatic; there's no button to push. Works wonderfully! 9:29 - The three modes are distinct from each other; they are not placebo. When you test drive, know what modes you're driving to properly evaluate. I personally use Whisper in residential (< 30mpr) and Engage everywhere else. 11:37 - There's three different sound profiles depending on drive mode. These are only internal as there's only one external (and federally mandated) external noise. 15:01 - A note that all Mach-Es (except certain Select trims) are capable of having Blue Cruise. There were some legit growing pains as Ford was fixing how they distribute OTAs. Obviously new buyers will have that as an option, as long as you're not getting a Select w/o the technology package. 15:17 - The only point I respectfully disagree. Haven driving on I-5 between the Bay Area and LA, the UV filtering on roof is surprisingly well done to the point of unnoticeable. Even my passengers haven't even noticed any difference. But to each their own. 16:09 - Completely agree. I'd dissuade anyone from getting a Select trim. The features that are on Premium and above are what make the car outstanding. To note, GT only adds features for performance of the car and GT branding. Wonderful for folks desiring that level of performance out of a car. But if you're like me and don't need that, the Premium trim's the way to go. 17:07 - As a note, the tax incentives will shuffle a lot once the Inflation bill is signed. Some context for me and my car: 2021 Mustang Mach-E Premium Trim, Extended Battery, RWD. Most of my driving is city driving, but I have done road trips from the Bay Area to LA and back a number of times. Charging almost exclusively with an at-home Level 2 charger.

[@MicahMuzio]

Excellent remarks! We always love hearing real owner insights.

[@Brian-jv8iy]

It’s a bit of a joke to me how ford doesn’t just put “blue cruise” into everything, nor does GM with its drivers assists. Except for the silly no hands on the wheel, a 20k Golf from 2014 does more than a blue or super cruise car, not to mention a 2005 Mercedes. Just those sold in Europe, never was available in the US though. And here they’re holding back for some reason as if it was some innovative or advanced technology only available for the more expensive cars. If they had put it in everything, people would stop believing the mediocre stuff Tesla has is any good.

My only issue with my Mach E was the rear wiper arm, I had to delete the rear wiper arm and it looks 10000 times better now. Rest is just breathtaking ❤️❤️❤️

[@MiniMINZ362]

I love these videos because they are so in-depth and entertaining! The only remarks I wish were in this video (and past videos) was the carpet quality and sounds of the horn. I detail cars once in a while, so knowing the carpet quality can determine how well a car cleans up. Plus I always like knowing if a car’s horn “fits its personality” or is inconsistent with it.

[@jfish9014]

Interesting points - I always like Micah’s armrest test, and Evie’s style analysis - coming from her, it’s always genuine.

[@dongorth9102]

I have a 2022 Premium 4 wheel drive..Xtended battery...Only had to charge it a couple times but when I did I got over 300 miles on each charge....I have not charged it 100 % yet...There are lots of options on Amazon for Sunshades for the glass roof....Very easy to install and remove.Rught around 50$..

[@dalemartin6063]

Great Review Muzio’s, great use of “leather slit” and “vestigial” You’ve done a lot to sell me on the Mustang E. Still waiting to see what the Equinox EV will be and incentives next year but it’s on my list now. Thanks!!

[@charlescook4517]

Great review, your videos are always fun to watch!

[@vincenty747]

As an owner of of a 2021 Mach E (CA Route 1 trim) it's a fantastic car. The styling was what drew me to the car. It's just a good looking car. And the range was a pleasant surprise. EPA rated at 305 but I consistently get between 330-360 depending on temp and city/highway mix. Regarding the frunk (3:01), for 2022 there are no dividers. The dividers are standard in the 2021 version. I removed them to take advantage of the whole space.

[@solidaverage]

I think location was a big factor in Micah's charging success. California is by far the best covered and best maintained for EV charging.

[@llaughridge]

There's plenty of good charging in the northeast/mid-atlantic region. Most other reviewers exaggerate their issues and manufacture drama for views.

[@dsher503]

Just wanted to say, you two seem like such an awesome couple and a perfect match! Followed Micah from KBB and now love how happy and excited Evie gets during these reviews. As someone who just had their first little one, it’s great to see videos involving my passion of cars that also showcase a loving family! Keep it up and thanks for all the reviews!

[@MicahMuzio]

What a kind comment. Thanks for watching and for being so encouraging!

[@andreyv1]

"so you got a leather slit, what happens next?" 😂

[@drea177cha5er]

Right when you asked about how it looks, the shot makes the car look smaller than it really is. And i liked it! If it was 3/4 sized and lower to the ground, maybe less family friendly but should be a cool little hatch

[@kyrosmike]

I'm passive aggressive myself and just say Ford MachE, never mustang. I still like it though.

[@TrAnMu]

I’ve had my Mach-E for a little over 3 months and it’s such a good car. Lot of fun to drive around, doesn’t look like an egg, practical when I need it. I know car dorks are mad about the badging but like, I wasn’t ever gonna buy a mustang. And people who would still can.

[@derrickaf1]

Always a fresh presentation:)! Thank you!!!

[@bitkahuna]

every one of your reviews makes me smile and they're very informative too. thank you!!

[@rhysparker6504]

Had one of these on a 24 hour test drive offered by Ford UK recently. I was genuinely impressed - and hadn’t expected to be. I like the way it blends being a regular car, with the ‘high tech’ attributes expected of an EV these days. I’ve also had a Model 3 and a Model Y (both Hertz rentals) for 48 hours each, and was left decidedly underwhelmed by both. Example: the Tesla has no regular blind spot monitor; instead you’re expected to look inside the cockpit, often in the opposite direction to which you’re moving (ie moving left, looking right) which is just counter-intuitive. Couple that with Tesla’s proprietary software set up - no CarPlay for example - and I’d take the Mach E every time. Just don’t make me call it a Mustang…

[@kathrynzils4887]

I love this video.I ordered my Mach e a long time ago, no ETA. It's been fun to see it again.

[@jakes5530]

The ideal second car. Range isnt an issue if you charge at home, and take the ICE vehicle on long trips. This looks way better than the Model Y, seems much more intuitive to use, and costs $7-10k less when equally equipped. It also should still qualify for the $7500 tax credit, unlike the Ioniq5 and EV6. Just good luck being able to order one at MSRP, and even better luck finding a used one that isnt marked up to $65k+ if you want one now.

[@jerems2002]

Great video, would like to see you guys do the family review of the model y.

[@UrbanCastle]

Just added the 2022 Select trim as our family car last month. Very lucky and speedy working with our local dealer to get our hands on one (and maybe overpaid?). Stacked with features, including memory seat, heated front seats and steering wheel, rain sensing wipers. It puts our Audi A7 (now former car) to shame on all fronts. Great car with a beautiful interior and a blast to drive. All driving modes are incredible and do not sacrifice on acceleration - rather Whisper mode is more than sufficiently zippy, and just gets better and better-er. Does Select trim offer all the tech? Maybe not, but one does get a bit of tech fatigue from too much gadgetry, and so much of it goes unused anyway. Like the drive modes, Select is excellent, and the upper trim levels just get excellent-er and excellent-erer. Great review, Muzio fam!

[@RangerRickTV]

Its kinda cool but I prerfer physical buttons not a massive touch screen that distracts you from driving.

[@josephpiskac2781]

In the early 1960s I would consider what cars of today would be like. Almost universally I feel cars today are a huge disappointment or step backwards. This electric Mustang really is what I would have hoped cars would advance to. The future is here today.

[@tfball58]

I love how the most excitement from your wife throughout the entire review happened with just enabling the sound lol Great review!

[@jp93309]

Too hot in central CA. Guess I could get an aftermarket tint to increase the pano roof uv protection if I needed to but in general these shadeless glass roofs are not well thought out.

[@plmn93]

I don't understand why electric car makers keep insisting on reinventing the door handle. A terrible idea if you use your vehicle in ice and snow. I guess it's just in case the cold weather range reduction wasn't annoying you enough.

[@briandavis5699]

Right now I think the MME is the best looking car in the segment. I really like driving mine and the range has actually increased since the first day I picked it up.

[@fishsaysn0]

Door operations alone, getting in and out, is a deal breaker.

[@blairbrown4812]

It'll be interesting to see how you guys test the original Mustang GT. And it's not, like there's isn't a precedent.

If you shop on Amazon theirs a handle that you can tape for the back passenger door to open it easier. Amazon got a lot of car accessories

[@RobStevens64]

That "kick to open" tailgate isn't on the 2022; It was one of the features cut. You mention on other cars it doesn't work very well. Could be why it was removed from the Mach-E, but it could just be chip supply issues. My 2022 is being built as I type this. Hopefully taking delivery in only another month!

[@XTRLFX]

The kick to open tailgate just needs to be kicked in the right spot. Then it works excellent.

[@MLHunt]

Nice review. My wife's '21 Premium has the frunk dividers. I removed them. My '21 base GT came without them. I think Ford deleted them at some point.

[@ashrafc7794]

I didn’t like this car when it came out because they put a mustang badge on it. But that was so stupid of me. Cuz now I really want one but can’t find one below $70G Canadian :(

[@davetravels9273]

You missed 2 key things. (1) Ground clearance, less than a mustang coupe negating much of its suviness; this thing will easily high center where/when other EV suvs will not. (2) charging speed is in kW; kWh denotes battery capacity. Great review though! Maybe talk about price vs the competition?

[@MicahMuzio]

Good remarks! I promise I know the difference between kW and kWh but it's easy to mispeak. Thanks for catching that. :)

[@johndaltroff2241]

Absolutely beautiful car 🥰

[@qys99abcd]

Just an FYI if you are looking to get a ‘22 premium model MME, two of the features presented here (foot activated lift gate and active park assist) are likely pulled due to chip shortage. Some of the earliest production might have them, my March built one still have park assist but foot activated lift gate is no longer available.

[@kevinn1158]

Finding fast charging stations in Toronto area is not fun. Most are 50kW or lower. The gov'ts up here go on and on about going green but I see almost no investment. As Stephen King said, money talks, BS walks. I like the Mach E but it feels like to me that they've made the battery sizes either too small or too big. Up here the premium Mach E is 10k more than a top trim Kia EV6, Ioniq 5 or ID4 AWD top trim.

[@esaedvik]

Nit-picking here, but please keep the units consistent and not typoed (kw instead of kW etc.). At 80 % the charge curve on this drops off the cliff from like 80 kW to under 15, so 80-100 takes forever. Not uncommon, but worth a mention.

[@MicahMuzio]

That's a good note about the 80% to 100% time. Cheers!

Been waiting for this one

[@weirdshibainu]

I removed the batteries from mine and replaced it with a nuclear reactor from a ballistic submarine the Navy was selling. The zero to 60 is now .000000014 of a second. I never have to recharge and the nice thing is I can power all of my neighbors homes for a 5 block radius and I only charge them $ 20 a month. Best investment I ever made.

[@pradhyudh]

[@CMCNestT]

Very soon, both Mach E and Model Y will qualify for a $3500 Federal Credit and no more. Probably. The new legislation for the US Federal EV Tax credit is a convoluted mess. And ZERO Credit for the Ioniq 5, EV6 or GV60.

[@chadjeror6046]

Great review. Love the style, design, and value. But, the most recent behavior of the Ford dealerships price gouging has encouraged me buy from another brand.

[@citibear57]

Ford could have done a better job on the front end styling, otherwise the styling is okay but not great. 9:12 "quarter window" Yeah, it's called that because it is about the size of a quarter (25 cents) 😒 As always, great video and editing, fun and entertaining. Thank you, Muzio Family!

$15 for 100 miles? Not much a savings there, gas car 20 mpg would cost $20, or 30 mpg would cost $15. Seems like you are paying more for an EV with little savings on fuel cost.

I think it would have went over better if they would have made a mustang a 2 door sports car or rebranded it to a new name either way its a good looking ride

[@georgev5766]

So I really like this car. And want one. The only thing holding me back is that charging on the road situation. Ford, please invest in your charging infrastructure. I make 3-4 outta town trips a year and Tesla is the only car company at the moment that gives me confidence to take those trips. I'd just prefer the Ford as a car.

As pretty as it looks, that glass roof with no sunshade is a deal breaker for me. Maybe if I didn't live in Florida where it's usually hot and sunny, it might not be so bad. As it is, my car with no sunroof and dark tinted windows still has too much heat coming in. 🤨 Also, I'm not passionate about the name, but I will always think of a Mustang as a 2 door car, so this is simply the "Mach-E" to me.

[@amoore1304]

I live in TX with sustained sunny days above 100 degrees and the glass roof has been great. I was nervous at first but no more-the glass is superior to my friend’s Tesla glass roof. My MachE car cabin stays cool with no glare while driving.

nice review. i feel more informed.

[@QMaverick1]

As an owner, I have a slightly different experience with the hatch. Ours is finnicky in getting it open, and that cargo cover is hot garbage. No thanks. :-) The car is amazing though. We drove ours from Cleveland, OH, to Desting FL, then to Orlando to finally go back to Cleveland. Best road trip car we've owned over all. Love this thing . . . hell, I even fit a real big tub in the back, so it's surprisingly practical.

[@MicahMuzio]

Quinton, I always love hearing from real owners. Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you mind adding a little detail about that cargo cover?

[@QMaverick1]

@@MicahMuzio Sure! Basically, if you have the windows open, it flaps around in the wind and unhooks itself. If you bump it while you're loading groceries in, it comes off one of the hooks. If you catch a breeze with the hatch open, it can pop off (you may think I'm exaggerating, but these are all real things that happened to me). :-) If you pop into the Mach-E Forums or FB owners' groups, it's a pretty common complaint. It's one of the VERY few features I dislike about the interior. I have the exact trim you tested, by the way (even the same color). My only other complaint about the interior is that I don't have a dedicated button to pop the rear hatch, which would be nice to have. There's a mod for it that I may do some day if they don't fix that in the infotainment software. We've got about 13,000 miles on the car now (got it at the beginning of Jan) and we've taken it on a pair of road trips (the FL trip being the longest). Best daily driver I've ever owned, and best family car I've ever owned. We're big fans :-)

[@luv2bottom]

Great review, the only thing that holds me back from getting one is charging stations, rather it be lack of stations or issues with them working. I rather the Kia or Hyundai solely because it charges fast very fast. And no I would never ever consider a Tesla.

Agreeded. Unless you are able to charge at your home every day, a Tesla is really the only electric car to buy simply because of the charging network. Long distance driving anything but a Tesla can be risky. Though, once charging stations get better, Tesla's market share should start to fall. I would never buy a Tesla either but it's the only option when driving outside the battery range.
