It seemed like you were saying that they got in an accident because they were driving a Mach-E. Looks like bad driving.

Many PDs have gotten Mach-Es. Some have added fleets of them. A mayor riding in an EV can only be positive for them, especially in a city like Boston.

Her driver can't drive.

On another note, it looks like that particular car's "grill" is "corrugated", rather than smooth.

I don't recall - weren't they only on preproduction vehicles?

I thought Selects had the corrugated grille?

Are you talking about the mustache? That's what they look like on the Select trim.

Ah, I guess I never looked closely at that. Learn something new every day! Glad that public officials are getting the cheap trims :p

An unmarked Boston police Mach E that was driving the mayor appears to have run a red light and caused a crash.

Predictable - Boston is liberal, police are corrupt, and EVs are bad. Of course the privileged politician is taking advantage of taxpayers by being carted around in fancy new electric cars driven by public safety officers with blatant disregard for the laws everyone else is expected to live by.

/NY Post called. They want their front page story back... ?

Tongue in cheek post not meant to be rude in any way:

Must’ve been on emergency call??‍♂

Chauffeuring the mayor surely can’t be a blue light mission.

What a waste of a good car.

ADAS might be a valuable driver aid but protecting us from poor drivers takes a higher level of tech altogether ?

I thought the CR-1's were the only come with that trim piece. I want it, if I can get it from a select I'm game. Ford parts has terrible descriptions.

Not sure what ADAS, other than traffic light detection would have helped? The car was t-boned!

umm…just thought it was interesting that they are using unmarked Mach E to shuttle around the mayor. Not sure why you have a tendency to be rude on here. Life is too short man.
Block him. The site is much better without seeing his posts.
