How can anyone compare when no info about the 2024 has been released yet? If you're looking for guesses, I think it will be pretty much the same.

Surprised that order banks for the '24 Mach-E haven't opened yet.

I read a rumor that 2024 will be a short model year, with Ford transitioning to the 2025 by Fall '24. That would be nice, but we haven't heard anything about the 2025 MY which is supposed to be the 2nd generation Mach-E.

I would be surprised if Ford released a 2nd generation Mach-E after only 4 model years. Industry norm is 5 to 7 years, and Ford has gone as long as 15 years in the past between Mustang generations. I can see a refresh/facelift being done for 2024 or 2025, but not a whole new generation. But I've been wrong before...

2025 model year will get the new android automotive sync. Probably depends on the time line for that

I don't see an Infotainment update/upgrade as being sufficient to force a generation change. If anything, it might get bundled into a model refresh/facelift.

I agree with you. The volume is also too low and the current car doesn’t have any superior competitors that are significantly better.

“Trampoline bounce?” ???? I think it’s a bit heavy to put it on a trampoline ??? Seriously, I have no idea where all this “bounce” talk comes from, but I’ve owned mine for 2 1/2 years and I’ve never noticed any excessive pitching about.

Same, I was worried getting getting our car with all the talk on here back then, but the car rides just fine. It's not luxurious or anything and there's always room for improvement, but it's never been "bad' where it even enters my mind when driving, and Michigan roads are anything but smooth typically.

I'm surprised. Have you driven performance-oriented cars before the Mach-E? It's very noticeable on my '22 GT, but only in certain road conditions, which thankfully are rare in my area. Certain road construction techniques also make it more apparent than others - elevated concrete highways with expansion joints every 10 feet or so really get the bounce going.

Hasn't Ford already announced that the second-gen Mach-E is coming around '25/'26? Although it's unusually fast by typical standards, the Mach-E is a unique case. This is where they've started to learn how to build an EV at scale, an OTA infrastructure at scale, and so on.

The second gen is where they are going to learn how to build EVs more efficiently, and hopefully take enough cost out of the cars that they can actually start making money selling EVs.

I don’t know. I always interpreted talk about a Gen2 applying to ford in general not Mach-E in particular. But of course I could easily be wrong.
