Hasn't even caught on fire yet

Now, now. That isn’t fair. Give it time.

Everyone needs to stop being so glass is half empty, the GTPE isn't competing against the MYP and failing miserably, it's competing against the Chevy Bolt and succeeding quite well.

Oh yes. The GTPE is more spacious, better looking, and can take you to the nearest Wholefoods in roughly the same amount of time.

Recap update from the original summation I guess is just 'pending updates from Ford, due in October' lol

You forgot a couple.

Tesla YP - king of the 1/4 mile

Tesla S Plaid - king of the 1/4 mile

Tesla 3P - same

Tesla X plaid - soon to be king of 1/4 mile

Tesla 3P - same. Wait, what?

‘98 LS400s punking GTPEs on 50-70 hits

Chevy SS sedan sausage duels

Polestar 2 center console as torture device for tall people

BMW X3M emerges as new EV SUV king despite being ICE, because brown leather

Audi RS6 Avant and AMG E63S Wagon now aspire to the throne but only if tuned to 850HP/1000TQ to fight off current throne holder(s).

GTPE buyers praying Magneride shocks mean a bumpy road ride akin to an ‘88 Lincoln Town Car while still beating Tesla MYP on track

TurboTax and TaxAct reps explaining meaning of $7500 EV tax credit in totally different ways and saying the same thing.

Tesla S Plaid rates of self immolation

Still so much GTPE acceleration numbers butt-hurt that Preparation H is now a sponsor

one guy has said a 7.90@87 1/8 is fast 1228 times

2.0T emblems causing some members to soil themselves at stoplights

Two guys posting pics of Chevy Malibus for some reason

13/20 mpg Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is now a GTPE competitor

Everyone should cancel GT orders and get a $135K Tesla X Plaid because we all need to live life a 1/4 mile at a time - with falcon rear doors.

That’s really about it ?

This weekend has been a blur, I completely forgot about all the Plaid/Mercedes/Audi discussions, Polestar 2 smashing knees, and CPA discussions.

The GT is a turd above 60 mph until further notice.

For those that don't want to read through all the pages info until we get some data from press reviews or ford decides to stick its head above the parapet, the issue can easily broken down with the appropriate themed pictures

People where expecting this

But instead it appear to haven gotten this

Essentially and it’s going to make a few people walk away.

Well, there is no Plaid X as yet to run numbers but the S Plaid does low 9s@150. If that is all you want then I’m sure an X Plaid will work.
Me, I’d get a nice 1-2 yr old AMG E63 S Wagon and let Eurocharged or RennTech hook me up with 800WHP/950WTQ for about $8-10K or so. Run high 9s at 140ish and drive it for 3-5 years. Put it back stock and sell it for more than I paid as ICE monsters disappear.

E63 Stage 1 Turbo upgrade costs $17k from RennTech and you prob will need trans tune too. Plus any other supporting mods and installation you are well into $20k. And even then you’re looking at low-mid 10’s, no warranty and still slower then the Plaid. Good luck.

50-70:

70-90:

50-70 in Unbridled Extended mode:

I don't know if there's any way to search dragy to see if any MYPs have done 70-90 but C&Ds MYP test has its 50-70 at 1.8 seconds.

MYP does 70-90 is 2.63 / 310 feet

Source: my dragy

Hope more tests come out / Ford figure this out as this will be pretty boring when I drag race one…

Just wait for the software update. Coming soon! Anyone notice how when you start the GT you get the same animation as the standard mach e and it even shows the normal mach e grill? Nothing from the GT model is shown. These early GT's are basically running pre production software. My guess is the motor mapping is the exact same as the 4x models. So the car thinks it's a 4x by it has a bigger front motor. I have total confidence this will run side by side with a model y performance after the update.

Good thing I’m not in the market, but Eurocharged could get me what I’d want for $10K. And, I don’t care about slower than a Plaid, because they’re ugly af and after almost a decade still built worse than Hyundais in the ‘80s. They reflect Dear Elon perfectly, great tech, great numbers in some cases (acceleration), outright lies in others (EPA range) and a total disregard for all of the manufacturing lessons the legacy automakers have learned over the past century. Who needs continuous improvement when you’ve got Twitter? Amirite?

Oh yeah, almost forgot. FSD stands for fucking stupid donors. Because even Tesla says it doesn’t really mean full self driving when they respond to regulators. ?

I haven’t noticed because mine is “in production” lol
