So … instead of last decade you prefer 6+ decades ago? ;)

I think it’d be officially “retro.” :p

Ford Mustang Mach-E Design aspects you don't like R


If you're set to auto-hi (three lights), with the temperature setting at 72F or less in 100+F outside temperatures, the system will go to max a/c for the first x minutes in order to cool the cabin as aggressively as possible.
This has not been my experience. While in Auto-Hi, I must also lower the set temp to roughly 64 F to get the fastest fan speed. It's WAAAY over 100 degrees inside the vehicle and maybe 120+ at the pavement.

But if I do this recently, when it's been especially hot, then I'm also seemingly more likely to get "drive modes not available" for the remainder of my drive, along with slightly limited power to the motor.

Are you sure you are not looking at the battery indicator for your phone? It is displayed on the screen.
If that is the phone what a silly place to put it!! o_O

- Move phone charge indicator to big screen.
- Also correct phone charge indicator, my phone was 93% charged!
- Add proper scale indicator for battery charge.

- Also another item. Regen indicator.

Man this is snow balling...

Another one to add.
When clicking plus and minus on the temp DO NOT BRING UP THAT HUGE BAR. I just want it to go up and down a few degrees. I rarely if ever am going to more than 5 degrees in either direction.
My climate control 99% of the time is between 70-75 degrees and most of the time it is set to 72 degrees but I do bump it up and down fairly often.

Don’t mean to rehash old conversations, but since you asked… The design aspects I would change would be body color paint on fender trim instead of black, and an all black headliner (at least the a-pillars). Sometimes you can’t have everything and have to make choices; so I am really ok with the trade-off as the most important choice to me was Infinite Blue Premium ER/AWD. I also would like manual control for HVAC— though I really have gotten used to where it is located on the screen and I can adjust without looking away too long now.

These cars at the Premium and GT level should have heated and cooled seats as well as power rear seats as well as an electronic front trunk pop with it on the remote. Only issues I have really.

Really wish they had ventilated seats even if it costs extra

Agree with the slim tires. I never really noticed until some guy next to me at a red light waved me down and told me the tires looked skinny. Now I can't unsee! o_O
Put some spacers on as it certainly helps with appearance of bigger tires.

Both features are already available. You just purchased the wrong model. You should have purchased the F150 Lightning if you need to haul stuff and require a heavy-duty, steel-reinforced center arm rest ?????

Mustangs are “sports cars” not “work vehicles” ???
Have a late day 1 Rez for the Lightning.

This Mustang is a sporty crossover utility vehicle. Those have hitch receptacles. Ask the EU folks. Besides it’s a rule! :p

The Mustang Mach E is a “sports car”. It just happens to have 4 doors, a conveniently large trunk, is available with AWD because we all know AWD enhances handling ?, and they HAD to put a hitch on the Euro spec models because of some silly obscure Euro regulation that requires Euros to be able to have any car able to drag stuff behind it (I’m kidding of course, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were such a regulation. Europeans have some odd regulations ?)

There's no user friendly way to install a cargo net. There are two metal rings near the bottom and rear of the cargo space, but the hooks on the sides won't hold the elastic bands used in cargo nets. These hooks are designed for plastic shopping bags, so instead of entire row of storage secured with a net you get two hooks to hold just two shopping bags stable during transport.

1. Rotary shift knob. I had that on one of my Fusions and also one of my Durangos and I don't like it. Not a big deal though.

2. Glass roof should've just been a panoramic sunroof. It's such a tease to have the glass there and see the sky but can't open it.

3. Very limited and in my opinion, pretty ugly wheel options.

4. Piano black on the interior pieces. Such a bad idea on any car. They should've continued the materials on the dashboard onto the other areas of the interior.

THE reason I went with the premium. Couldn't deal with the other options. Not interested in going aftermarket.

I got the premium, not thrilled with the wheels still but they're good enough for now.

in all honesty I want a hitch for a bike rack, that’s all. But really, if I’m going to haul one bike, It can fit in the trunk area with the back seats down. And I’ll take the Tacoma if I need to haul 2 or more bikes. Towing behind a BEV? Yeah that’s going to eat up your range. Not practical in a BEV unless your talking short distances I think.

I don't like that the climate control always turning on the E-Heat whenever I press the auto button. I would hope that the car is smart enough not to actually turn it on on a 95F day, but I still don't like that on the display it comes on. Another thing is the recirculate function, it seems to randomly turn itself off after I turn it on to recirculate.

And I wish the outside mirrors tilt down when the car is on reverse.

No driver’s seat memory settings?!?! NOW you tell me?!?!
Mine has two seat memory settings which can be linked to the profile settings. Did I misunderstand something?
