“Next Gen” Mustang Will be Electric (EV) Only Claims Autoline

Slot cars?!

I used to run these tracks in the late 60’ and then again in the mid 70’. The racing was insane. I believe some of them still exist and are in use.

These are so fucking cool.

Gross bro. I don't want fake engine sound, in anything. And based on the Cobra Jet 1400 Forumal-E, etc., high-performance electrics can sound absolutely insane. Shit seriously sounds like Star Wars, not real life.

Make one sound like a Tie Fighter and I'm so in! Sounds like the drivers need some hearing protection for sure though. I guess they'll just use the same stuff from the ICE cars lol.

One advantage of being on the older side, probably won’t live to see EV’s as our only choice.

Think you'll live long enough, to see people no longer having a land-line phone hanging on the wall in their kitchen?

What's a land-line?

Parents hell, when I was a teenager we had a "party line". Definitely not as fun as it sounds.

What about pay phones. I remember, barely, when they were a Nickel.
How long before the origin of "Drop a dime on someone" is lost?

Mom, get off the line!

How about the "Save" icon being a floppy disk?

It wasn't Mom, it was the nosey neighbors who shared the line picking up and listening.
Our number was State7-xxxx
Our ring was one short and two long...

I was just trying to give an example of something that was static, and unchaining, for decades and generations. Then in a blink of a eye, changed (was gone).

I remember a soft-news report showing how today's kids know how to dial a cell phone, but were clueless on how to dial a landline phone with a rotary dial.

I'd buy this.

You must make a lot more money than I do. If you look at competing electric cars, most don't make 900 hp. The Tesla model S with ~400 some hp is $70K. The Mercedes SLS AMG coupe electric drive is closer with 740 hp and it costs an astounding $544K. Just nuts.

So this Mustang would probably cost WELL over $100K. Conservatively.

And you say you're going to buy it.

I say it's unlikely you would be a buyer if Ford offered a car like this for sale. I know for sure I wouldn't be. Even if it cost bargain basement similar to a base GT500 at $80K (totally unrealistic) - I wouldn't be interested at all.
