So the frame / shell is supposed to be a mix of aluminum and steel right?
Mach E looks great in Iconic Silver!
And door handle looks the same as before with no changes?
Do we know what the frame and body construction of the Mach-E is? Aluminum and/or steel? Like you said that will have an impact on insurance rates compared to the other vehicles you listed.
Absolutely. Besides performance, Magneride is the second biggest factor why I was swayed to the GT. Can't wait to test drive and feel it in action. Along with the low center of gravity, I think the Mach-E is going to handle great.
Yes, Magneride suspension is only available on the GT model. It's one of the things that most sets it apart from the other trims in my opinion. Magneride suspensions are awesome due to being adaptive to the car's mode setting and road conditions.
Yes, when comparing AWD to 2WD front drive, AWD will be better.
But, in the case of RWD vs AWD, RWD is going to have the better driving dynamics and the same should apply to the Mach-E.
I view the Polestar 2 in another segment since it's starting price is significantly higher than the Mach-E. It starts at $63k while the Mach-E starts at $45k.
Departure Time is one of those great features that EVs bring to the game which doesn't exist in ICE cars (to my knowledge). I know I'll be using it daily.
Ford will not ship the Mach-E with a license plate bracket attached, it's the dealers who put it on. Just instruct your dealer not to attach your plate or drill your bumper. It's as easy as that.
Some make you sign a waiver if your state has a front license plate requirement but that's just for...
Maybe seeing this kind of positive reaction over a satin look will get Ford to offer a factory satin paint at some point. Has there ever been a satin color offered on any other Ford vehicle?
Smart marketing IMO. Tesla basically does no direct advertising but they're smart and strategic in letting their vehicles be photographed and posted to forums / social media. Like Musk driving the Cybertruck to Nobu. It creates real world buzz and doesn't seem so as contrived as traditional...
Since that shot from the European Mach-E press release, is it possible we're going to see different names for the driving modes and other menu options?
I haven't seen this discussed here but has anyone read or know how the Mach-E will behave when stopped in Drive mode and you lift off the brakes -- will it creep or will it sit neutral? Will it have a creep mode that you can enable / disable like in Teslas?
I'd personally prefer having the car...
Talk about emotional... my Mustang GT owning friend is so up in arms about the Mach E "borrowing" some styling that I think he may be one of those guys who blocks charging stations with his car once the Mach E hits the streets lol. :D
But I don't think the Mustang owners should be so defensive...
Electric shaming lol. I feel the same. All my friends are musclecar and truck heads. I need a sanctuary and that's why I'm here :cool: Nice to meet y'all.
