Have to admit, after driving about 250 miles over the last couple of days, I have fallen in love again.

You hear the wind – only because there is no engine noise. Acceleration is brisk and effortless across all speeds. The regenerative braking is reliable especially at higher speeds. Range anxiety is going away. The ride is a tad stiff (me imported sedan kinda guy) but does not roll at fast turns (low CG).

Hate to see you all wait but it’s worth it!

There's no going back. Even a "premium" ICE is such an inferior experience once you've driven a BEV.

LOL that was my sentiment after owning a 2013 Focus Electric: I'll never have a car without a plug again.

(and that was just a Focus LOL)

That's funny. Have you ever driven a supercharged V8?

my lawyer has advised me that the correct answer for me here is "no comment."
:D

I love(d) my yearly trip to Vegas with dozens of supercharged V8 Shelbys. I have a feeling that dozens and dozens of EV Mustangs just won't have the vibe that 50-100 supercharged V8's have going well north of 100 (on Mexican highways, of course.)

Logistically, I don't think you could even do that with EV's. Range will plummet and how do you quickly charge that many cars to keep the convoy going? It's a little over 500 miles and last time I went I think I stopped for gas 5 times.

Fully agree -MME will be my 4th EV and I'll never go back to ICE again! Say good-bye to oil changes, tune-ups, replacing water pumps and timing belts, leaky radiators, and transmission fluid changes!! Enjoy the future!

I guess I'm the only one here looking forward to getting a half dozen or so ICE's in the future. I'm sure I will love my GT PE though.
