No. Wouldn't consider it. The ONLY reason to consider it was that it was an EV. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given it a second of consideration.

Most likely It would be a Tesla Model 3 Dec 2020, now it would be a EV6 or Ionic5. If ICE is the only option it would be a Bronco.

I decided my 2016 Ford Mustang was my last ICE, so no.

I think with the engine sounds turned on some people might forget it’s not an ICE vehicle.

As I see it, absent the EV tax credit, the comparable ICE price point for my Premium AWD SR would be in the low-mid $40s. Would maybe need to drop to high $30s to account for ICE fuel / maintenance costs. Think about all the great ICEs available in that range.

I love my MME but if EV tech didn’t exist, I’d be in something else.

Not even a sniff. EV or nothing for me. I'd be driving a Jaguar iPace most likely.

No - but would not have purchased any other EV at this point. I do find myself driving my Mach as much a possible and only use my ICE when transporting 5 or more passengers. Also still use ICE for long distance drives (350 miles) to Anchorage. That; however, may change with the addition of DCFC stations this year. Still a 100 mile gap with no electricity though! Hoping the Lincoln EV turns out nice as that is timeframe I am looking at for trading in for a new car which will be an EV.

I got sick of having to charge my PHEV every 12-14 miles, which is why I wanted a BEV. So, no I would not buy the MME were it ICE. I have enough ICE cars that are capable of burning gasoline at an alarming rate. ??

Same.

I would not consider if not BEV.
Likewise.

I’d still be driving my Tacoma regularly waiting for a decent looking non-Tesla to arrive on the scene.
