If it was a Tesla, *sugar*... every governing body would have sued them lol.Ford were very careful to meet any published spec (the 0-60) and then let it die.

No I don’t think there are any reasons there…..So you don't think the "why" was the 5 to 6 things mentioned immediately in the sentence or two following?
the macheforum thread where people slowly start to realize that the GTs performance is as designed ought to be enshrined in automotive internet history. Starts out with "you obviously lifted before the traps" progresses through "a drunk Ford engineer told me they were going to improve it in March" and ends up at "welp **** I guess that's just the way it is."In some ways it's borderline fraudulent what Ford did with the GT. Perfect time to cue the GT vs Skoda diesel flat out roll race!
I see Ford only sold 27,000 in 2021 ( USA) so the recall doesn’t affect too many cars
In fact, worldwide, the Mach E is an outright sales disaster. Ford need to do better than this.
Or they can’t afford to build them.They closed the order banks because they can't build them fast enough, it's not because of lack of demand.
Not exactly, the stop order is because of the recall and there's no fix. Look at the prior posts on the recall, they were making flawed Mach E's as late as late May. These guys literally have no clue. You can't have faith they are being honest nor are they looking out for their customers.They closed the order banks because they can't build them fast enough, it's not because of lack of demand.
So much for that 100 year legacy experienceOr they can’t afford to build them.
Even being made in Mexico, they are now sold at a loss.
Ford’s Mustang Mach-E Profit Wiped Out by Commodity Costs
9+ Mach-E trim levels and it sounds like none of them is profitable. Yeah Henry Ford would not be proud.So much for that 100 year legacy experience
Sorry, I don’t have the energy to answer these insanely long posts. You and Motor Trend are obviously right. C&D and my own eyes are obviously wrong. The MY is clearly the superior vehicle. Glad we’ve settled this.

I like some customization, but EVs need to be sustainable for the companies making them. Maybe Ford (of today) should have taken a page out of the Ford (of 100 years ago) playbook to achieve profitability with simplicity.
Wait, that's basically what Tesla did for the 3 and Y. Still works today I guess!
Yeah, it's like they wasted their time since they totally botched the software, thermal and electrical designs.Blast from the past
All that time when Ford bought that Model Y in 2020 for analysis and they still couldn’t get it right.
Lazy is right. Why put in the effort when your mega marketing machine can draw in the suckers by the boatload?Ford got lazy....they thought that it was good enough to just call it a Mustang
Yep, quickly cobbled together and pray everything works, at least for the first year or so. Then patch and replace anything broken with the same faulty parts till the warranty expires.MachE is a parts bin, LG pack. Magna motors etc they just assemble the bits
You're confusing two different things. They started closing the order banks in March because their capacity to build them for the year was already sold out. Has nothing to do with the recall.Not exactly, the stop order is because of the recall and there's no fix. Look at the prior posts on the recall, they were making flawed Mach E's as late as late May.
