anyone ever experience brief blurred vision from acceleration?

[jonkMACHE]

So, as a preface to this, I have done several wide-open-throttle pulls, and have never had an issue with the MachE's acceleration.

However, every once in a while, the motor dynamics and the car's initial conditions will be just right so that I get serious whiplash. I had one such experience the other day where I pressed the pedal in about 3/4 of the way during a 10mph rolling start... it whipped me back so hard that I lost vision for about half a second. Anyone else ever experienced this?

***edit*** changed the title to something a little less dramatic...

Nobody blacks out from less than 1g of acceleration.

Lots of people will black out at 4g. So be careful if you're flying a fighter jet.

That's not what whiplash is.

YIKES!

Ummm... Might be time to trade your Mach E for a Nissan leaf. Stay safe out there.

You might actually want to see a doctor, in all seriousness

If the g-suit is working properly, you should be able to get to at least 6 1/2 g’s.

Blackout? -- No, that's not due to acceleration, some liquids can do that to you. But it's recommended to put seat covers on passenger's side, it's easier to clean up.

Hi JK,
That doesn't seem like the kind of experience we want you to have in your bod-e. If you could send us a message with your SSN and doctor's name, we'd like to see what we can do.


please don't actually send me those things

Black out? No. Have felt pressure in the chest from g-forces(?) when I accelerated(floored it) to get around a pick-up pulling a larger trailer on a two lane highway. Went from 50 mph to 80 mph in a couple car lengths. It surprised me, as I was driving a Select RWD.

I have felt a tiny bit of vertigo and stomach butterflies when I launch out in my GT on engaged! Did you know that our acceleration is actually is a bit faster than Disney California Adventure's Incredicoaster launch-out?

Definitely get that checked out

Never got that close,. Did fly space available on military aircraft a number of times. Eye opening..

Agree with previous poster, get checked out. Make sure your blood is flowing okay.

This is a car, not a fighter jet pulling some serious high G maneuvers. If you are blacking out you need to quit driving and seek some medical attention. Something else is going on with you.

Eh. Seems unusual at best….
I would make sure I didn’t get a hold of those fentanyl pills that look like sweet tarts. They are all over now …
Jes sayin. “Stop safely now” matey….
