My vision is fine.

It’s why I can read “Mustang Mach E” is different than just plain old “Mustang.” Your door sill may say Mustang, but the outside finishes with “Mach E.”

Hopefully you read “sodium chloride” differently than “sodium” when it’s labeled as such.

If you are still confused, go to a Ford dealer and ask them to buy a Mustang (and do not say anything else to clarify). They will gladly sell you one that has 2 doors and runs on dead dinosaurs.

Get over it. Ford called it a Mustang and that is the end of the story

It’s not the end of the story.

They called it a “Mustang Mach E.” And the Ford CEO said it’s not a Mustang. So Ford said it’s not a Mustang. Maybe you should get over that. ?

You are taking this way too seriously though. ?

I pretty much don’t care what they call it. Unless they call it a Tesla. Then I care. Or a brussels sprout. Then I really care.

My wife got a parking ticket today, they wrote "Grey Tesla" - I almost want to go to court and fight it on that alone! "Judge clearly this a white Ford..." I just need to go on a sunny day so my Space White is actually white.

Actually Ford did call it a Mustang and the CEO is blind as some on this thread to the word MUSTANG on the door sill.

Maybe we could request using braille on the Window Sticker and Door Sill?

We see Mustang just fine. It’s others here that don’t understand that it’s always followed by “Mach E.”

Having a similar name doesn’t make you that thing. Hell, even having the SAME name doesn’t make you that thing.

This car isn’t a horse or a plane either. You don’t have to be blind to understand what a Mustang Mach E is and isn’t.

This is a 4 door electric SUV.

As opposed to the Mustang which is-
“The namesake of the "pony car" automobile segment, the Mustang was developed as a highly styled line of sporty coupes and convertibles derived from existing model lines, initially distinguished by "long hood, short deck" proportions.[3]”

Body style	2-door coupe 3-door hatchback 2-door fastback 2-door convertible

Goes on to explain what the Mach E is. Underlined for emphasis-

On November 17, 2019, Ford announced the Ford Mustang Mach-E.[93] Unrelated to any of the pony car Mustang versions, it is an electric crossover with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, depending on trim level.[94] It has 210–375 miles (340–605 km) of range and an updated Ford Sync system with a 15.5 inch display.[95]The Mustang Mach-E comes in several different trims including First Edition, Select, Premium, California Route 1, and GT.[96] The Mach-E also offers two battery options, and Ford is expected to introduce a third option in the future.[97][98] Although it shares the Mustang name and badge, this vehicle is not counted among the Mustang's seven generations, as it is a separate model produced alongside the existing two-door Mustang rather than being a chronological successor to it, and is designed around a separate vehicle platform.[99]

Why are you on this forum if you own a grey tesla? This is a forum for Ford Mach-E's.

Umm... This door sill?

Did you see my profile pic? I have a Space White Mach-2, going on 3 years. The police wrote grey Tesla in the car description on the ticket. The plate number was correct.

Yep. The printed word states you have a Tesla. Therefore, you must have a Tesla. Did you check your door sill? It might say "TESLA".

BTW, what's a "Mach-2"?

Maybe we can quietly write up a “news article” quoting Mr. Farley, Ron Heiser, and Bill Ford saying the MME was really designed and intended as a ‘67 Fairlane GT follow on, but someone shipped the specs from the internal joke memo instead by mistake. Then we ship the article to one of those satire sites where the disclaimer is in electron microscope readable only font size and then link it here and watch folks go nuts.

I mean you have a point, if a government body calls it a Tesla then...Yes Virginia that is a Tesla.

Mach-2, it's like a Mach-e for people who don't proof read. ?

You should have typo'd "Mach-1". Then you could point out that it says "mach-1" in your forum post, and therefore you must have a Mach 1. Everyone else would be so jealous...
