And… found one.
protip:
Don’t project. It just makes it so everyone knows.
Also, you’d do a great job giving out prizes to the carnival kids who didn’t hit the target.
1– no one is saying the Mach e isn’t a good little ev suv. It’s just not a mustang and shouldt be called one.
2– A reworked focus or kuga platform is not a mustang platform any more than the pinto was a mustang platform, hence why many don’t count the mustang 2 as a true mustang. A lot of...
the epa doesn’t count it like that, with one model of a make. There is no reason to call it a mustang. An ev with a mustang name does nothing to help the mustangs gas mileage figures with the epa, NHTSA's CAFE, or anyone else. It helps the calculation for the total of vehicles.
It was just Ford...
Not interested…
until I know the important details such as:
0-60 time
1320 time
top speed
braking distance
Nurburgring/laguna/etc lap times
curb weight
RPM limit
it’s ridiculous to have a “here’s how we did it!” Video series when you don’t even know what the heck it is they did yet...
this.
Ultimately automakers have been forced into something they weren’t prepared for yet. The ev move is something that everyone has been wanting to do, but not in an either/ or kind of market. More of another transportation option. And only when they can get there responsibly.
so much is...
Yes. But that’s because they were pioneering a market that almost didn’t exist.
but Ford is actually CUTTING EV production. The f series Lightning is being cut back by 50%. That’s crazy.
Ford pulling back in this is a big deal.
The EV movement is s strain on traditional automakers - especially...
not making a direct profit on any EVs. No one is except Tesla. Two years is an acceptable loss leader situation. But when you still can’t figure a way to profit, it’s a rough deal. Ford is using ICE vehicles with jacked up prices as a sponge to soak up some of the loss. But that gets old and is...
disagree. Tesla were being the cool kids and using cool kid marketing.
All was well and good with the powers that be until Elon bought Twitter and start getting threatened that investigations were forthcoming.
It’s very difficult to buy a Tesla and miss the details on what “autopilot” and “FSD”...
ZERO diect profit=BAD business.
again, hence the souring.
big holes where money is supposed to be doesn’t lie.
the problem comes with selling vehicles at massive losses to get volume - with no guarantees that it will turn profitable or sustain volume one you inevitably have to drive prices...
they have indeed SPENT a lot of money developing EVs. What they haven’t done(except for Tesla, which has this down) is PROFIT from them directly(not including government assistance and tax breaks, just actual profit from sales).
hence the souring. EVs are a beast.
Refuse delivery period.
So sorry. That’s the worst to actually have the car right there and have to say goodbye.
Horrible that they did not own up to what happened. Sounds like the damage was worse and they slapped it back together for you.
in the long run, you’re going to get trouble with...
The 2015 was heavily facelifted in 2018, so there's that.
But will we get a truly new Mustang in 2028? Probably in 2030.
Let's not forget that the S650 itself is really just a warmed over S650. And not even warmed over that much. Many parts of it are direct carry-over.
This was clearly a car...
Fllowmaster = drone. Had them, got rid of 'em.
Borla has the cleanest sound where. you can hear the clean and robust seperation of exhaust pulses.
all of them have a slight drone at a certain RPM, but Borla has the shortest one. If you hold a very specific RPM, you can perceive it, but you'd...
Already done with Mach E.
The ad campaign kinda wasn’t that great.
the nuclear conversation doesn’t really fit in the scope of this conversation which is about powering vehicles - unless you’ve discovered a nuclear powered car/truck/suv - no, I don’t mean the old Ford Nucleon concept. :)
or if...
That’s kind of the point. Hydrogen needs a push to go everywhere. Not even in just the USA.
it’s more than a viable technology. It’s quite an impressive answer to the drawback of both electric and fossil fuel.
Ask toyota, bmw, Hyundai, Land Rover, Honda, and others. It’s only recently been a serious consideration, though bmw has been playing around with the concept for some time.
I’ve already mentioned the difficulty in making massive amounts of fuel quickly, so that’s nothing new added to the...
even the manufacturers are souring on EVs.
the expense, byproducts, and infrastructure are extremely problematic.
OEMs are making huge strides in hydrogen, which is a win all the way around.
It’s also a myth thst EVs are somehow better for the environment. Those batteries mean the loss of...
We knew this before the s650 was even announced.
as it’s really just a heavily facelifted s550, it makes sense.
Ford gets to squeeze the existing olatform for more profit, ensuring the viability of the Mustang as a sports car while also gaining the benefit of buying time to see how the...
that’s not a great solution though.
For one, you wouldn’t be getting a Mustang.
two, you’d not be getting a v8.
and third, you’d be getting a hideous looking car.
the GTD looks better, sounds better, but costs a stupid amount of money.
the gtr is way overpriced as well, but not to this...
