Why is Everyone Crapping on the Mach-E?

[Ford Motor Company]

we love ours...both of them. We don't travel in them so long distance charge issues are not a problem. More comfortable than any of the others I have been in and built reasonably well.

With the Mach-E's extended range and the largest public charging network in North America, the Mach-E is a perfect companion for long trips.

I love our GTPE. Stupid fast and fun to drive. Instant acceleration allows for turning between smaller gaps and I ever imagined. PAAK works very well, even on cutting edge Pixel 8 Pro. Sync occasionally freezes and reboots. Brake pedal sometimes acts funky when starting (stays hard for a while then goes "soft" when brake assist kicks in). So not perfect, but issues are trivial.

Adaptive cruise control sometimes sees a phantom car in front of me, but I'm gonna have that looked at under warranty service.

Right on. Stupid fast is really stupid fast. At 75 we bought the GTPE because its stupid fast got the most supportive seats for degenerative discs in lower back for long trips best brakes ever and very smooth riding with magnaride. Thought it would do better in 1/4 mile very disappointed Ford left out telling us the about the power decrease. I wouldnt have drop $70k for it. Still love it as my daily driver. Have interest on model x AWD long range or Gravity on next ev. Wife loves her 2023 model y AWD long range. 3rd ev for long trips with grand kids since we use our 06 Jeep Commander clocking only 50000 miles since new and seats 7 for long trips. Both should be around the same price.

'22 CaR1 rear drive here, 32 K miles and I just love the car. One thing I like about the R1 that's not often mentioned is the ride from the cushier 18" rims and high profile tires. Test drove a MachE GT while doing my research, and while I loved the performance, I found the ride a bit rough for my taste, and even with the rear drive and cushier tires my R1 corners better than my '05 Mustang GT did. My car was built just before they started putting the more robust HVBJB in at the factory, but I don't climb mountains, I rarely flog the car wide open throttle and medium-rarely fast charge so I'm pretty confident I'll be okay until the new HVBJB becomes available (he said, fingers crossed...).

Our GTPE is absolutley suberb taking bumps and uneven road surfaces. After 18000 miles no complaints. Its super quiet, stupid fast, brakes like a sports car and a blast to have as a daily driver year round. Even with all our road and bridge construction going on the magbaride works every ti3md perfectly. Our 2023 tesla model y AWD long range has tge upgraded suspension but still isnt equal to the GTPE. Its a very comfortable quiet and fast ev and trips have been very comfortable.

I have had my GT since last October and it has turned out to be the best commuter car Ive owned yet. I have an 80 mile round trip daily commute and look forward to every drive. My only gripe is the rain sensing wipers suck.

I love my 2021 GT Performance, though my only issue is the limited power. On paper, the motors could make more power than the EV 6 GT. I am hoping Ford releases an update to remove the 5 second limit on max power, and let folks have some fun on a drag strip!

This is my only complaint with what is otherwise an amazing performance EV. Hopefully ford creates a track mode for this purpose.

it’s pretty pricey, but there’s a tune for that! ?

I didn't know one existed. Anyone actually install one?

I don't think this does what you think it does. In fact, I don't think the people selling it even know what it does.

You make a good point! talking about fuel economy is a little silly in an EV ???

Gas prices are traditionally lower this time of year but beginning spring I assume it will go back up and we may see more sales. Thoughts?

I got this as a very special Christmas gift from my wife and I absolutely love it!! ?

They have a tuner add-on, but it’s not cheap! Besides, I have the GTX edition, so I’m not sure it would help me that much

Now this is super cool. I may have to get one of these. I love capitalism!

what I like the best about it is, you can set it so that you can find your optimal, mileage and speed upon where you’re going road on.

Just an FYI when you hook it up to your MME ODBC, you can route the cable up on the dash and wedge the tree between the door jam, and screen without using the suction cup for the window??

Maybe you should start a new thread on this topic. I would love to see pictures a learn a little more about how you are using it.
