    Hyundai Ionic 5 vs. Mustang Mach-E

    There was a short period of time where you could get $15K off the Ioniq 5 (https://www.carsdirect.com/deals-articles/hyundai-ioniq-5-discount-hits-15-000-off-msrp) and I argue the Limited with that discount is a better deal than the MME. The MME and the Rivian R1S were the two slowest charging...

    Hyundai Ionic 5 vs. Mustang Mach-E

    I mostly agree with your assessment but you had a SEL (upper $40s) which is a lower trim than a Premium AWD ER (which was $59K in 2022). A Limited is also $58K. The Ioniq 5 has crazy fast DC charging. A flat 230 kW from 40-80% - I experienced this numerous times. I don't recall ever stopping...

    Hertz "Horror Show"

    Right. Tesla doesn't have dealers and can't just have 24K Mach-Es sitting around on lots like Ford did. Nissan dealers are turning down allocations/cars because their lots are full. https://www.autonews.com/retail/nissan-turns-back-rental-fleets-retail-stumbles...

    Hertz "Horror Show"

    I don't think what Tesla did was destructive because like I said in the previous post... market forces were ALREADY pushing prices down. MMR in July/August of 2022 for Teslas had peaked and Model Ys were around $50K by Nov/Dec of 2022. Tesla is just more nimble and cut prices immediately in Jan...

    Hertz "Horror Show"

    So would I but MSRP on a loaded P2 was $68-72K. The one I rented in late 22 was $70K but was not nicer than a loaded Premium AWD ER. Used loaded ones were on sale for $45-50K in 2022. Barely any miles. Enterprise told me nobody wanted the P2s and gave it to me for $200-ish/week. It was...

    Hertz "Horror Show"

    Resale was terrible for Polestar 2 back in summer of 22 way before the Tesla price cuts. Approximately 30-35% depreciation in less than a year. Tesla just looked at live MMR data and realized their new cars were $15K more than dealers were wanting to pay. Hert'sz CEO mistake was Polestar 2 IMO...

    Mach E vs. 2024 Kia EV9

    Maybe light off road. But none of the GCs except Overland and Trailhawk 4xe have tow hooks nor can they be added after the fact. Crazy. The lower/mid trims have an open center diff and lack any sort of locking rear system (locker or LSD). Almost any of the modern mid-sized family SUVs can go...

    Rivian R2 Reveal w/ R3 and R3X Surprises! $45K, 0-60 >3 seconds, 300+ miles range, NACS port, 4695 batteries

    The R2 is a bigger Bronco Sport... and that's probably a good comparison. The R1S is the Bronco and the R2 with the unpowered frunk and non-air suspension is the smaller Bronco Sport. It's cost cutting. Interior looks cheaper too.

    Mach E vs. 2024 Kia EV9

    Finally got to test drive one at the Orlando Electrify Expo... meh. It's quiet, quick, and smooth like most higher-priced EVs. The matte blue is stunning in person. It's still not a Telluride EV... lacks many features and decided to go "Tesla style" and have fewer physical buttons...

    Just got a 2024 Kia EV6 from Avis on a rental...

    Right. Most of these car rental agencies have the cheapest fleet models. If I rented a Mach-E Select, I'd be complaining about the poor audio, cheap interior (non power-adjustable seats), slow acceleration (if RWD), lack of sunroof and heated seats/wheel.

    Hertz Shelby Mach-E GT-H Spotted

    I just saw one for the first time driving on I-4 in Orlando near downtown with red Colorado plates. Possibly from the Electrify Expo(?)

    Goodwill Program Information: High Voltage Battery Junction Box (23S56)

    Received 30K yesterday some time.... no idea why. Never had an issue with HVBJB with my current one but my two former Mach-Es were right around the time of the "new" part and had either a production delay (3 months) or stop sale before the software upgrade was available. I will take it...

    Mach e hurts my ears

    I spoke to @ScottMcCool who had this issue with the Y and MME and about 6 others with the new Toyota Grand Highlander. Folks think it is low frequency audio around 20 Hz. There’s a couple of videos by GH owners who have recordings of it and others can hear and feel like pain using Bose noise...

    Mach-E vs. 2024 Volvo EX90 - design, specs, price

    EU model. Both EX90 and EX30s were hand built prototypes with Menkes charge ports and non-functioning bits. 2nd row and 3rd row did not fold (or I was told NOT to fold them) and not to adjust the seat nor touch the screen. ETA for both is this summer.

    Love my MachE and now a rant

    Poster has Standard Range. I would not personally road trip with an SR given the slow Mach-E DC charging speeds and the 210-ish highway range (maybe a bit more now that Ford has unlocked the extra 3 kWh since 2021).

    The R2 will be at the Orlando Electrify Expo on Sunday (and only Sunday) according to the Florida Rivian Club. Will check it out.

    Mach-E vs. 2024 Volvo EX90 - design, specs, price

    The EX90 is somewhere between a Highlander and Grand Highlander. A tad larger than the Lyriq but not by much. The EX30 has a cramped 2nd/back row but in the EX90 it actually fits adults. I didn't bother trying to sit in the 3rd row lol.

    Mach-E vs. 2024 Volvo EX30

    This thing is tiny. Maybe Kia Soul sized but squatter and a tad longer. Still maybe not small enough for me... was maybe hoping for MINI SE sized lol

    Is Ford (like GM) sharing our very personal info with insurers

    If you opt-in sure. I didn't opt-in for Ford/GM to share my hard braking or hard acceleration numbers. "Mr. Dahl shared his experience on an online forum for Chevy Bolt enthusiasts, on a thread where other people expressed shock to find that LexisNexis had their driving data. Warnings about the...
