OMG, that interior.

How awful.

Those stupid huge screens.....just sucking at Tesla's hind-tit. Not a thing that's new or different, just following trends rather than setting them.

Very interesting, thanks for posting. Two points that stand out.

1. People needed to want the vehicle rather than be legislatively put in one.

2. While the buyers of some electric vehicles have had to accept certain flaws, Palmer says that this isn’t acceptable for Ford. “The doors fit properly, the plastics and other materials color-match, the bumpers don’t fall off, the roof doesn’t come off when you wash it, the door handles don’t get stuck in cold weather. ...”

Which were swipes at the top-5 stupid on a Tesla. Now about that panel fit, Ford... Might want to take it easy on the size of the stones they're throwing.

If it really is a "Mustang" like Ford claims, then Ford better make sure the panels also fit like crap on the Mach-E, lol.

Hmm, so this is where Ford design found the Mock-mE shape from?

Apologies if these have been posted and I missed it:

I understand that using the Mustang name is an issue for many, including me, but overall, it seems to be getting pretty solid reviews.

Another one worth reading. This time we get initial driving impressions from a seasoned automotive journalist. Mach E 1st drive

I especially like this comment......

That said, as the first “brand extension” ever for the Mustang nameplate, the Mach-E has run afoul of some traditionalists. But few of those diehards were expected to buy a BEV anyway.

The Mach E is hideous and doesn't resemble anything sporty, it can go fast but so what.

If I were to get another Mustang, it would be the 2020 and up Shelby GT500 with the carbon fiber track pack.

I'm mostly indifferent about the styling and mostly annoyed by the name but no need to waste energy on something you can't control. I will say the interior makes me cringe every time I see it. A middle seat on an airliner looks more appealing to me.
