    Will Tesla CEO Elon Musk Accept The Ultimate Challenge From Ford?

    In the attached Ford video, you can see the 1,400 HP Mach-E losing (repeatedly) to Ford Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 and turns a 1/4 mile at 10.488 (1:24 in video). Jay Leno tested the Model S Plaid and broke a world acceleration record for a quarter mile. He posted a new time for the quarter-mile of...

    Another clueless article..."How Ford Will Eat Tesla's Lunch in the Next Two Years"

    In Sandy Munro's latest Mach-E teardown, he exposes' Ford's 100-year history of a tangled mess that is their engineering. I counted ten parts to get to the "frunk" components, compared to the 1 in the Model 3. I'm not sure who is eating who's lunch.

    Toyota bZ4X SUV Concept

    Ford Mach-e

    Take a peak at the Mach-e forum where they discuss the "better build quality" Issues, Warranty, Recalls, TSB I think you will find it mostly contains the Ford "Quality is Job 1" good 'ol college try. This most recent post, proves your point about the dealer "looking" at the car prior to...

    F-150 Ford Lightning

    The range might be the down fall of heavy adoption with a load or towing. However, I'm not sure why manufactures, with the exception of Rivian, states loss of range with towing. Rivan states: Our powertrain, thermal system and frame structure enable the R1T to tow up to 11,000 lbs in all...

    Mustang Mach-E Gets Great Reviews = Model 3 Challenger

    How much money does Ford burn on marketing? Does a simple over the air update need branding? There is no way they are making money on the Mach-E with the amount of money they are pouring into Marketing. Using the name "Power-UP" for OTA on electric cars is more than confusing.

    I'm sceptical how any Pickup EV will be able to tow a payload in colder climates. We all know what happens to range in th cold. Also there is a basic problem with the current charging infrastructure. Charging stalls haven't been designed for vehicles with a trailer. I can't imagine a...

    Mustang Mach-E Gets Great Reviews = Model 3 Challenger

    I'm not sure if you've driven a mach-e, but the steering wheel blocks the left and right side of the information screen, depending on where you put your hands on the wheel, some more information is hidden. When copilot is enabled the odometer is moved the right, and most of the time the...

    I agree with your comments. However consider this. The Mach-e is a nice car, from my test drive there was nothing fun about it. It drove nice, quiet, but there wasn't anything that blew me away. The user interface and over all interface design is already outdated, in my opinion. Ford is a...

    Hey Dan. As the title of this thread suggests, I have a 2019 SR+ and I live in SW Ontario. I'd buy my car again in a second, especially with all the new upgrades in the 2021's. If I had a few more $ I'd get the long range just to get some more KM for the winter. While it's never been a...

    There is no point of comparing specs to a car that your can actually buy (Model Y performance) and is in people hands, to a car (Mach-E GT) that doesn't exist. Even Ford's website states: U.S. Preproduction Computer-Generated Image Shown. Available Fall 2021.
