I have seen renderings of a BEV Mustang Coupe which IMO is a very good looking vehicle. But, here's the question. Will there be a market for a BEV Mustang Coupe. Since it's introduction, Mustang's formula has been a sporty looking body, performance, reasonable price, and the ability to add after market tweaks. But, from a practical standpoint, it's limited, i.e. 2 doors, tiny back seat. The Mach-e offers the convenience of 4 doors, a usable rear seat, and a hatchback. And like the Coupe, Mach-e also offers performance. So, what can Ford do to differentiate a BEV Mustang Coupe? Would the interest level have been as high if the first BEV Ford introduced had been a Coupe instead of a Crossover? I personally hope there will be coupe, but will a coupe even be relevant going forward?

Yes, it will be relevant and it will have a market, even if it's smaller than that of a crossover. Keep in mind, the Mustang was the best selling sports coupe in several markets in recent years.
They will have a BEV coupe probably 7 or 8 years from now, as the traditional Mustang coupe will probably start to phase out at that point and the BEV one will fill the void.

And I plan to buy one! :)

I bet they will have both BEV and ICE versions for many years, then keep V8s around for GTs and Shelbys before one day getting rid of the whole ICE lineup, likely sometime in the 2030s.

Once they get the battery costs down and make further improvements... an affordable BEV muscle car, you bet. My 10 year old is saving up for one already ;)

Hmm sounds like an interesting body swap project for the MME.

The problem with most 2 door cars, the doors are to long. Today’s parking spaces are to small. Cannot get in and out very easy.

That's why I avoided parking next to any other cars in a parking lot in mine. That, and to avoid door dings.

Just looking and researching to upgrade from my '07. At my age, my next Mustang will probably be my last, so it has to be just right!!
