"Mustang Mach E" Confirmed, Reservations Begin Immediately After Nov 17 Live-Streamed Reveal

[olerodder]

I puked when I read this. Do we all realize our cars and it’s heritage DIED today ? This is unbelievable how a company can just one day up and make a decision like this and think it’s perfectly fine. I will NEVER own a new mustang or Ford in my lifetime again. And I’ve bought more than a few. It’s been a few hours and I still can’t fathom that they are going through with this.

So, if you’re never going to own another Ford, what are you going to own?

Sigh, I know the world needs to progress and that as we age the younger generations want to move forward. I just read a new article that said the new Mach-E was definitely gonna be a Mustang and was gonna have the pony on front. :(. Yeah progress but boo signaling the end of what I know as mustangs and muscle cars. I know cars will progress and I know technology will ultimately win out, but, damn it's sad to see the things you love start to slowly fade. I know we still have years to go but ultimately this Mach-E is where cars are going. Won't be that long, until cars are automated and simply there as a tool for travel and no longer a thing that get modded and made for HP. The cars will be connected to devices with live net connections. they will be totally controlled by traffic systems. Will be like in the movie Minority Report and we will also be like the Other movie demolition man were they find the old gas muscle car and go "remember these"
In America anyway , manual sales are less than 3 percent of all car sales. If that is not sad enough anywhere I go I am usually in a sea of suvs. Cars in general are going away. Then electric cars (not hybrids) are coming on and they don't even have transmissions. no manuals , no cars, no transmissions... I just feel the New Mach-E is a signal of the end. Maybe not right now but the Cars we love, the Mustang we love, as we know it, is going to start to fade. As my grandfather would say."I remember when..."

As for electric cars, and the push for them. I don't get it. They may be "better for the environment" as far as exhaust emissions but that is about it. The average electric car buyer is clueless to how that car get there or the environmental rape of the land that happens to get those battery elements. Battery production is a ugly process with many many many toxic chemical wastes produced and where do they think that electricity comes from to charge the car? It comes from increased power plant production that guess what... makes more Co2 than the gas car exhaust. They drill for oil a hole in the ground about 1 foot across. the mines for the elements for batteries rape hundreds of miles of land per mine. plus the hundreds of diesel trucks and loaders required for that mine that are not required for oil. I mean I could go on.

Electric is fine but stop fooling yourself that it is better for the environment. if anything it is way worse. The younger generation wants to tell us we are out of touch. But, you wait I wish I could be around when this generation gets older and then their kids are rude to them because they poisoned the planet with batteries.

Anyway sorry grandfather moment LOL But yeah Not really excited about the new Mach -E and IM really not excited they re gonna pony it and call it a Mustang. But guess we wont know for sure till sunday at the official unveiling.

100 % aligned but enjoy our V8 before nostalgia;)

a gas/elec hybrid really is the most sensible combination. We've now got start/stop F150's even in 5.0 v8 guise. Steady state highway cruising is where gasoline can be at it's most efficient. And you don't have to carry such a massive battery pack. Front-engine (at most 1.6L 4cyl), rear electric with say 7 gallon tank and 100 mile battery. Even better if the battery is a 'universal' (at least across Ford model line) cartridge that can just be dropped out of the floor pan where the rear seat ledge is. If you want 'hyperdrive' configure a bank of supercaps to drive the electric motor for a short stint (say 10 seconds worth).

So, if you’re never going to own another Ford, what are you going to own?

I believe the universal answer to that is 'Subaru'.

The heathens! Why are they letting this abomination see the light of day...

 

[3star2nr]

Blasphemy!

A used shelby is the obvious answer

 

[speedfrk]

This too shall pass man... We've gone through this bullshit before we all know how this is gonna play out...

They're gonna try it. The cars will flop and the mustang will continue being built with a V8 and 6 speed manuals the way god intended for the next 50 years...

They can slap the badge on anything doesn't make it a true mustang...

Its a ford escape with a bodykit... I'll never accept it as a true mustang lol

Its just a phase it'll fade out...

You're delusional... Porsche just came out with the Taycan which goes 0-60 in 2.7 sec, VW is spending 800 billion to build a new EV plant in the US, manual transmissions account for less than 1% of new car sales in the US, the new Corvette is mid-engine automatic only and the overwhelming majority of Mustangs built over the decades have been 4 and 6 cyl economy models. Reality is a bitch.

Did you guys know this?

So... You think we could petition the cartels to blow up the factory?

Just asking hypothetically...

 

[Schwerin]

Still more manly than an "e".

 

[Strokerswild]

Might as well slap a Mustang badge on that too.

 

[Schwerin]

Not a SHELB-E?

The day of reckonning is coming for all the non believers....

Mustangs should be V8 powered and manual.

I dont make the rules man. Its written in the gospels 2 Shelby 3:02

I'm just a man trying to live a moral life. But the day of judgement is coming for them lol

 

[Schwerin]

They should have released the Lithium as the mach-E. Would ave been received MUCH better.
