The Tech Crunch review was a hit piece, nothing more. It's literally the outlier. I glanced at more than half of the other reviews, and not a single one came close to TC's obvious attempt to "kill" the MME.

I would agree...seemed really out of whack from everything I've read. I tend to toss the outliers at both good and bad ends, your usually left with some honest reviews that cover all the good and where improvements can be made. My order is supposed to be in production next week....fingers crossed

I went through a few reviews but don't see a highway range test. Has anyone seen that yet? It seems the reviewers did not have the cars long enough to do a proper test.

Most of the reviewers only got the car for a couple of hours. Even the ones that had it longer had to fit in other stuff like getting photos and testing other parts of the car. And the ones that drove it in Michigan had bad conditions for range testing.

@OutofSpecKyle will be doing highway range tests for his YouTube channel as soon as he gets a chance. And I plan on doing my own tests for my YouTube channel when I get mine at the beginning of the year.

I think he was intent on comparing the driving dynamics to that of a Mustang coupe, rubbing Ford's nose in the decision to use the Mustang badge. Not a helpful review.

The first few paragraphs of the Green Car Reports one seems a good rebuttal to that.

Love how many of the reviews say the car is hitting dealerships now. :rolleyes: :D

Covid :mad:

Love the reviews coming in so far - nothing startlingly new but confirming that MME drives well and is more than adequate for normal BEV use. Great news

TechChrunch isn’t a car site, it’s just an internet catch all site. I was somewhat surprised that Top Gear sort of panned the car though.
