Thanks everyone for contributing to this thread.
As I read more and more about the EV space and the manufactures coming out with more options, the future is looking great. I do feel Ford is in way over its head with a steady stream of issues cropping up on the Mach E Forums. Seems like they don't do software so well. There is enough evidence in charging problems both at home and away to see this. It's well documented on YouTube. I've said it to friends asking about the EV space, The Mach E is a great car, but it's a horrible EV. Ford can "kind of" build cars (The 2020 Ford Explorer has 10 recalls already) but they look very poor in the software development department. In my opinion the UX\UI is already outdated, and if the processing power is lacking and lagging future UI changes are going to prove difficult.
I don't see how Ford will eat into any Tesla sales as most of the reviews indicate, rather, Ford had a great opportunity to take a big chunk out of Tesla, I think they have clearly screwed that up. When KIA/Hyundai come out with their products, it will be Ford that will be nervous about their Mach E sales.
The model I test drove is still sitting at the dealership in my area (3+ weeks), in a sea of ICE Mustangs. Some of which are called Mustang Eco-Boost Premium, not a very intimidating muscle car name for a well establish nameplate.
