I am going to be honest here...What I see is a bunch of old guys sitting around complaining about "it used to be better in our day"
The fact of the matter is, it's different. I suspect it's also lighter overall - weight being something mustang owners have been complaining online about...
I have to admit...and assuming I would fit (I am tall/long in the torso, so I hit my head in most vehicles, even my F350)...I am kind of drooling over the new Mustang.
background. I typically buy new, then keep it for a long time (usually 8-14 years). I have it serviced at the dealership, get...
It makes me wonder if Chevrolet is going to do something with an electric version of a similarly sized vehicle. If so, it would be interesting to see what the differences are...
I wonder what will happen the first time they push an over-the-air update and forget to exempt the supercharger versions...
I wonder what the response would be if they pushed an over the air update that "de-tuned" everyone's stock 650 from 480 to 440 for "reliability reasons"
I like it...but the back end looks sorta like a Camaro. That said, I like it mechanically, and the looks are not bad at all to me.
I love the Dark Horse badge
I think the 650 mustang will take advantage of all the new bells and whistles that the new carplay will offer
I think that it's sad that car companies are turning over their design to a computer company
if you read my post, you would know I said you don't get the energy lost to wind resistance back, but what you do re-capture is a lot of the energy you use to start up, which is big in stop and go traffic.
EVs are also a lot more energy efficient once the energy is stored in the vehicle (gas in...

" In some cases, the latest regenerative braking systems can recover up to 70% of the kinetic energy otherwise lost during braking. "
So a lot more than your 10-15 percent.
A significant amount of fuel (energy) is consumed when you accelerate. You are taking chemical energy...
umm, actually, it's VERY efficient. This is the biggest reasons why EVs get the mileage they do. They turn the kinetic energy of the car back into stored electrical energy, so that's it's ready to be used again.
Now, performance cars...aka, those that people will want to use on a race track...
Honestly, most people will buy EVs, just like they buy ICEs. Remember, the VAST majority of people do not care how fast their car goes. A good portion don't even care how fast it gets from 0-60. Take a look at all the people running Explorers, Trailblazers, Escapes, etc. MOST people what a...
I want to clarify...if the transmission will increase the vehicle's performance, I am all for it. Maybe it allows for more torque at higher speeds, maybe it boosts acceleration at higher speeds. Maybe it does something completely different, but still improves something else...but if it does...
I fully expect that I would need to pay a significant amount above a regular ICE. I also expect that price to come down as new materials/battery tech/etc comes on line in the future. (of course, inflation will push that back up too)
Electric go-carts can be very fun
Golf carts, no matter if they are battery or ICE, are horrible.
I suspect you are confusing the engine with the function.
I don't see a transmission as needed for "fun". Honestly, Electrics feel more like go-carts, and to me, those are the essence of fun. It needs to have the acceleration to pull it off though...
I think the side view looks a lot better than the older Challengers.
As for a MT...that's not going to happen...Honestly, I am surprised they put in a transmission at all...

Honestly, I think I will need to see it in person, but it isn't an EWWW - don't want, don't want, right out of the gate. In fact, I kind of like the way it looks.
I don't like the piped in sound
What's the reason for the multi-speed transmission? Is it just to provide a "clunk"...
Electrification is going to have challenges. Today, we use approximately 4.6 million Gigawatt Hours (GWh) of electricity in the US and Canada.
If you were to convert the energy of the gasoline and diesel used in the US (excluding Canada) to GWh, that would come out to about 6.4 GWh
Now, EVs...
