First of all this Mustang forum, as with all forums, is a place for discourse. You posted something on the Mustang forum, I responded with my opinion. If you don’t want any of my negative opinions regarding the Mach-E in the Mustang forum, feel free to hit the ignore button. I think the general consensus on this Mustang forum, is that we don't like the vehicle that Ford has decided to apply the Mustang nameplate to.

Secondly, I posted positive things about the electric Cobrajet, because it's a cool Mustang with cool Mustang technology. This Karen-mobile isn't a Mustang, so it's completely lacking the element of Mustangness, which would elicit positive feeling in me.

Finally, if all you want is a cheer squad, there's a whole Mach-E forum. I won't be posting Mustang things there. I won't be posting there at all. It's a Mikthehun1 and Mustang free zone.









Mustang.

You need a hug and a beer. :beer:

The sound of that thing is amazing, like a supercharger on steroids! Still a little to big for my taste and I'm a hatchback guy.

I Just wonder how that sound is achieved on a electric vehicle? Is it a $2k upgrade like an aftermarket exhaust for instance on our ICE cars...or is it a $15k+ e-motor(x2?) upgrade to get this sound?

Anyone know?

Its due to the straight cut gears. RTR says the rear axle ratios can be swapped out to alter final drive ratios

That's a bummer if you can't upgrade the mach-e to sound like that(within reason and not a max effort build)...I've never heard a Tesla make glorious noises like that so I figured it wasn't an easy mod.

My particular affliction is in G forces and adrenaline, that appears to fit the bill.

No....the civilian Mach-E will never be cool. Or a Mustang.

Sounds like there's very little production Mach E in that. Just a body in white, which is probably highly modified and reinforced.

I agree with many, it's simply not a Mustang. RTR / Ken Block and crew could have stuffed the same tech in a golf cart and it would have been essentially the same, or in my personal view cooler. I can't imagine this video is changing anyone's mind for real... IMO this is this generations Probe. Time will tell if Ford leadership hit an iceberg, or maybe I'm wrong and people will just loooooovve a compact SUV from Mexico w/a pony glued on the front....ugh!

Few people would object to calling it a Mustang if the Mach E were a 1400HP electric coupe. Putting a 429 in a Thunderbird didn't make it a Mustang any more than slamming this fat, ugly SUV and slapping on some Mustang styling cues makes it a Mustang.

No, it's not cool. It's phony nonsense from a company that has lost its way. It's an effort to distract Mustang fans from what a Mustang is. Why is this not just an electric Edge ST? Because everyone knows Mustangs have ugly hump backs, four doors, and giant tablets pasted on the dash?

Ford had a great opportunity to revive the Thunderbird name with this thing. The fact that instead they chose to irreparably harm their single greatest brand tells you how idiotic they are.
