This is really good sales material for Tesla in hindsight. A MYP that's been flogged for over a year in countless tests is still achieving its blistering 0-60 and 1/4 numbers just like day one. I wonder if Edmunds thinks about that?

It'll be like this but ten times worse. The vaunted Turbo S cannot go more than 15 miles w/o being throttled. Can you imagine a Mach E on a track that throttles after 5 seconds and cannot cool itself w/o actually stopping first? Talk about absolutely failing and comical. And putting the Porsche into context, Porsche specifically built the Turbo S to be able to handle being flogged for extended periods yet that only translated to 15 miles.

I'd like to see it too just for giggles but I think its obvious why Ford is banning actual track test and any sort of timing.

Yea from what I read at the on the mach e forums. That's apparently why no mag or outlet has published any track times. It's actually really freaking weird. Mags have only recently published the 60 and 1/4 times. Then that was followed up by CnD's skidpad number. Before that they just listed what Ford said it was and took that as fact.
GM is the EV leader in US?
BTW...not actually a question. I think it's GM's opinion though

I found this link of a MachE GT PE at limerock. It's not real detailed but what you can see is that the PE is very good at losing pace with the pack, shockingly good.
I guess that clearly shows that most of the so-called automotive journalists are in the Ford's pocket as they can't say what they ethically obliged to say without losing funding and/or access to journalist pool cars.

MachE should have just pulled right for that White Porsche (?) at ~1:08. Maybe its the driver, but he should have been flooring it on the straight away and it doesn't appear to have much go.
