The Mach-e dash, instrumentation, and info screen are the main distractors to an otherwise very nice looking vehicle. The Info screen especially looks too much like a Tesla. It needs to be integrated into the dash instead of looking like a tablet/laptop that was just attached. So, I hope the...
Ford started to de-content 2021 Mustangs; e.g. no paddle shifters in Ecoboost base models, no engine cover, etc. Small stuff, but all the same an effort to keep cost down. Just strip out features or include as optional packages to increase bottom line. Why not just include what people want to...
I'm guessing when they say hybrid, they mean mild hybrid, not plug in. Regardless, a Mustang Ecoboost currently has 310 hp and 350 ft lb torque. Adding a small electric motor and battery could easily push those numbers to 350 or more hp and over 400 ft lb torque. If extra weight could be...
Glad to get some new "news" about the 2023 Mustang. Since there had been no updates for awhile, I had come to the conclusion that the s650 would simply be a facelift and just be a place holder until an all BEV Mustang was ready. But, I now have some hope that there will be some real changes...
I wouldn't mind if Ford kept a slightly modified s550 around longer. Update the interior, add a few more features as standard, and call it a day. Ford could sell a ton of these thru the remainder of the decade without the additional investment for a new model.
I agree that a BEV true Mustang (coupe/convertible) will probably be on a separate BEV platform from the ICE Mustang. I don't anticipate seeing a BEV Mustang sports coupe until 2030 at the earliest. There's still too many hurdles that BEV vehicles in general are going to have to overcome...
Don't think BEV Mustang coupe will be released until all of the shortcomings of BEV vehicles in general are resolved, i.e. short range, long re-charging times, and probably the biggest huddle - lack of infrastructure - not enough charging stations. The Mustang is Ford's image. They know that...
I agree that the s650 will have a mild hybrid drivetrain to increase power (and mileage). I don't expect a full electric Mustang coupe until 2028 at the earliest. Ford knows that they can't afford to mess up the classic Mustang. It's the symbol for their brand, not the Mach-e or a Mach-s...
Definitely going electric, but the timeline is well beyond 2028, i.e. maybe another 10-20 years before BEVs are mainstream vehicles. There's just too many hurdles for BEVs; e.g., range, charging times, lack of infrastructure, battery technology, etc. We'll get over these hurdles, but it will...
If you want to buy an EV car, then buy it because you like the way it performs or suits your transportation needs. Don't buy one if you think it will save the environment, because it won't. New cars may all be EV in the next 15-20 years (maybe). But It will be years and years before ICE...
I would buy a BEV Mustang fastback coupe if it's a better car, i.e., fast, sporty, long hood, short rear deck, etc. at a reasonable price. I would not buy one or any BEV vehicle for that matter to control global warming. I understand climate change and it's definitely happening. We are...
Ok. The next generation Mustang will use the Explorer platform. My question is why do this. Just make a 2 door coupe based on the Mach e. I think the answer is that the next generation Mustang will not be all electric. It will continue with ICE, as well as a hybrid, AWD, and BEV models. I...
I have a question. If the Mustang Mach e is based on the C2 platform, why is the next generation Mustang using components from the D3 platform? Seems like if there is going to be a BEV Mustang coupe by 2028, why not use the C2 platform and create a 2 door Mach e coupe??
