Yeah, with a full week, they could have the most in-depth coverage yet. I hope they do the roller test.
Yes; I have a feeling that comparing a performance Y to a SR MME isn't going to come out very well for the Mach E. Range, performance, and charging will all be very much in favor of the Y. It's almost as if Ford forgot they got lambasted by these guys
They didn’t say, but I highly doubt it’s a production unit. They have the standard range battery though, so charging may be different. Also, nobody‘s done a roller test on the AWD system yet. I assume they will.
Yep, the specs on that model are way different. So who knows what we will see in a week from them.
It’s still a Premium, just with the standard range battery. I‘m looking forward to seeing some numbers from the standard range since that’s what I ordered and all the other reviews have been with the extended range.
I assume it won’t compare well to their Model Y. But I hope that they make it clear that the trim levels are not an apples to apples comparison.
Same here, this is the exact configuration I ordered. Haven't seen much in the way of reviews of the standard range battery with AWD.
correct it's the 0 to 60 and speed in general. But that is what tesla is built around.
Don't forget that the SR MME only has a max 115kw charge rate
Yeah, it will be interesting to see if that matters.
Well, that seemed to change their attitude a little.
So if they released information that Ford officially gave them under embargo that's one thing. If information was leaked to them then why not publish? Or at least do so w/o retribution. This happens in the tech press ALL the time. Insiders say this, insiders say that? I feel like we don't know the whole story.Exactly! Here is some background info, for those who might be interested...
https://tflcar.com/2020/06/ford-disinvited-tfl-bronco-f-150/
TFL published a YouTube video showing very specific spy photos leaked to them against Ford's policy by an anonymous individual with access to Ford's prototype vehicles. The photos detailed major features of the 2021 Ford Bronco several weeks ahead of Ford's multi-million-dollar reveal of the new platform. (The reveal, initially planned to be conducted live in front of a large studio audience filled with automotive press members, had been delayed in order to retool it as a remote event due to the emerging pandemic.)
Shortly thereafter, TFL personnel were SHOCKED to learn that they were "summarily disinvited" from Ford's official reveal for the new Bronco and the new F-150... which were huge events in the calendar year that TFL would no longer "be able to cover... as originally intended."
Basically, TFL decided to act like the TMZ-equivalent of the "automotive enthusiast press" without thinking through the ramifications of their actions. ?Ford banished TFL from future press events, and as a Ford shareholder with a material holding, I agree 100% with their actions.
