Hi All,
As some of you might know from our last video, we're selling our Mach E to make way for a Ford F-150 lightning that's on order. We're asking $54,000 over at CarGurus.com. Pic below.
The listing on CarGurus has more pics and details, but in a nutshell this is an early production Mach...
It is honestly difficult to maintain any kind of bias or leanings when you literally drive 300-400 new cars, trucks and SUVs a year including multiple trims of each vehicle on sale. Credit where credit is due. Every car company has good years and bad years, good products and products that fail...
Segmentation and the inability to go back and edit scores is an issue. Once you give something a "grade", you can't go back and re-edit the video because something better came along, which would cause the score in a competitor to go up/down. I think we are going to move to either something more...
Yep. ABRP's numbers may be good for Teslas, but because there are so few other EVs out there the numbers aren't quite right. For a ER Mach E AWD it wants to use a reference of 2.64 miles per kWh at 65, (232 miles max) that is extremely low. Over 2000 miles on the clock our average has been 3.0...
If you're in N CA and want a Mach E VIN 3FMTK3RM1MMA07553 (Premium standard range RWD) let me know. I already took delivery of an AWD LR and don't need this second reservation. If nobody responds in 24 hours I'll just let the dealer do whatever they want with it. Car arrives "early next week" in...
Ford's official (as of today) weight numbers are now:
Standard range RWD 4318 lbs
Standard range AWD 4498 lbs
Extended range RWD 4647 lbs
Extended range AWD 4838 lbs
Thanks, Ford's data has been all over the map. The first time I drove the Mach E back in 2019 before the public reveal they were saying 4000 lbs, but then they said it was a typo, that the heaviest would be ~4500 lbs, their N. American media site provides no weight information at all for some...
On the sticky subject of EPA range it is important to remember this: The EPA essentially allows two different testing methods to be used.
A car is placed on a dyno under controlled conditions and run through 5 cycles. There is a city cycle (UDDS or FTP-75), a gentle highway cycle (HWFET or...
#7 was a two parter. Efficiency is lower than the leader in the segment (but better than ID4). As far as the range calculation goes, here's the thing: Unless everyone uses the same testing cycle, however idiotic that cycle is, you have no basis to compare. When a consumer is shopping for a car...
