nice goalpost shift.
When you miss the point, I guess there’s nothing left to do. So… good job I guess.
I’ve already stated that it’s a decent option. And that’s what it should be - an option. It doesn’t add a whole lot to the equation, especially at the expense of current muscle memory, but it...
You quoted exactly what I referred to - kinetic energy. It sounds great to say that up to 70% of kinetic energy I’d recaptured. But that only translates to 10-15% of range. You aren’t recharging 70% of your battery my man. It’s a choice star that doesnt corrrelate to real world benefit. That’s...
it’s one way of getting a little spent power back. It’s recovering a percentage of kinetic (movement/inertia) energy(reportedly up to 70%), but that’s not equitable to battery percentage or range percentage (about 10-15% of actual range - and this only happens if creating a lot of inertia...
that’s my point. Giving the escape the same headlights that go on the Mach e, then the mustang dilutes the look beyond any meaning. When everything looks like a mustang, nothing does.
also, the escape has no business sharing mustang design elements. It’s telling that it looks like the Mach e...
The Mustang should have different headlights than the Escape and Mach E SUVs. Weird to have the Mustang look like an Escape. Nasty.
I think we’ve seen hints of the camo car having the tri-lights, but different than that photo.
theseparate brake pedal is a better deal.
Backing off the gas shouldn’t brake your car. Sometimes you just want to give your foot a rest without braking.
it’s not rocket science to accomplish. And people already are familiar with throttle vs braking. Changing that is just silliness. While some...
I suspect Ford will find a way to replicate manual shifting. But most people, even enthusiasts, are used to automatics now, so there won’t be any learning curve for that group.
but manual lovers are all in onthe shift ourselves experience. Ford seems to be listening and I would not doubt that...
especially considering the Mach E wasn’t developed to be a mustang.
the marketing decision to name it “Mustang” was done AFTER development.
not looking good for the Mustang if it’s indeed the case that it takes on the E SUV platform.
man, Ford really needs to hire some car guys again...
I think it's a bit disrespectful to the other members to say this discussion has gotten toxic. I disagree. In fact, it seems to be pretty well rounded concerning the future of an EV Mustang, pros and cons. Everyone doesn't have to agree in order for the discussion to be appropriate and...
IT wouldn't be that much weight. The V8 would be tiny and would essentially be a generator for the electric engines to supplement the battery. It would supply additional range and a true exhaust note. The throttle would be synced to the electric throttle and wouldn't need a drivetrain. Boom...
I suspect the psychotic price increases coupled with less features due to chip shortages is alreadyhavingsomeimpact. But some people who NEED vehicle have cut their losses. Those who can wait for a buyers market will.
right now is a terrible time to buy a vehicle
The more I think about it, the more a properly engineered hybrid makes sense.
not only does it keep the American V8 “soul” and character, but ithas Potential to extend range by a lot.
let’s say the electric motors do most of the work and the much smaller v8 is there primarily syncing with...
actually, producing sound is good for exactly the kind of reasons you stated.
a cat or dog sleeping under the car will know to move before something horrible happens. Children playing in the streets or pets having escaped the yard will be alerted to oncoming danger. And everyone gets an idea of...
looks like the s650.The rear and rockers look different. The hood looks pretty flat. No scoops or anything - unless it’s under the black camo. No shark fin shape like previous sightings. Interesting.
