Rather than constant tweaking to it about time ford just added a handle delete as no cost option. Job done then, the designers had a design goal of a smooth door with no cuts that would be required if using a flush pop out handle so an engineering solution was devised to allow that and all of that has gone to waste once the handle was added :(.

Sorry late to the party. Can somebody link to a closeup picture of the front door handles?

Ford Mustang Mach-E Handles!! 31A67188-D1AE-42AD-B8DC-18840C52AD4A


On the car we had on display here the open hook of the first picture was ok, the 2nd picture handle looks very uncomfortable...

All you have to do is keep it waxed and everything will just fall right out... ;)

Well, there will always be something about every car that isn't likable...if this is the only thing on this car, I'll take it.

Shouldn't you be getting to work with 10 minutes to spare most days? :)

I suspect 90% of the time we're just gonna be grabbing the edge of the door anyway, rather than the handle. Think about what you do now when the door is already part way open... Do you tend grab the handle to open it the rest of the way, or just the door edge? I think I usually grab the door edge.

I agree it looks strange on a modern car like the MME. I bet that gets updated next model year.

I could see the Mach-E IRL… At last! Last week near Marseille, France.

And took some pictures… Hope these ones will add to the curiosity about the handles.

I like them. To my opinion: better than those on prototypes.

Thanks for posting the closeups. It looks like there is a slight downward angle to the them so rain will drain out, but I am concerned ice and snow will collect in there in the winter. I guess if there is ice and snow stuck in there, you can just open them like the back doors by sticking your fingers in the gap between the door and car after pressing the button.

Are those handles just held on with an adhesive pad? Should be easy to remove if you wanted?? Interesting.....

I’ll bet there’s hardware involved and what you see is a rubber pad/gasket.
