I'll give you that an SUV could fit within the definition of "automobile", but not within 'car'.
I've been driving long enough - something like 55 years at this point - to know what I want in a car and what I don't. An EV checks too many of the wrong boxes and not enough of the right ones, and as good as their currently-available levels of straight line performance potential can be, that metric doesn't mean nearly enough to me to overlook the rest. No matter how well it might handle the day to day stuff in terms of function alone.
All I can say is wait until you're actually experiencing that square peg/round hole thing happening. I've been living it for longer than you might guess, just not in EV vs ICE form. Big hint, find the common denominator among the cars listed in my sig.
None most likely (except for the standard Ford parts like switches and knobs, etc...). BEVs and hybrids are completely different architectures. This Mach E is on a completely different frame (most likely) then the hybrid Mustang (S550 architecture with electrified 10 speed and small battery in trunk most likely).
yea, much longer wheel base for sure, like what, 20ft? LOLOLOL.... from the images being posted online someone thinks a Bus-length EV is cool...
Your feelings are totally understandable. Ford's direction seems to be heading away from what us enthusiasts want. My question is if you were spending those dollars today where would you go?
This is a very good point. So the discussion goes back to "Brand" vs. "Model". I'm wondering what Porschefiles would think of a 911 CUV. We think of Mustang as a model. Others within Ford are looking to make $$$ off our legend and possibly thinking of going to Mustang as a brand. Let's see what name the CUV being announced on 11/17 is. Should give some additional insight into this idea.
