I’m glad Ford is being proactive. Tesla would just wait for the top and bottom of the vehicle to go their separate ways at highway speeds.
At least they actually did something🤷🏼♂️ Tesla would’ve just let it pass like when the roofs were flying off of model Ys but I think another sales force of the Mach-E is people can trust the build quality and this was extremely minor compared to other recalls but at least they’re trying to keep that image of quality up. I mean I don’t plan on buying one until 2022 since it’s totally new and they usually work out the kinks by the next year but I’ll definitely buy it over the Model Y but I also like that Volvo electric car which also looks very high quality, luxurious and full of tech but it also has less range but it’s also very powerful and charges quickly. I want to see the Mach E in person but the dealer sells them the second they get in but I have to say the Volvo XC40 was very impressive from the exterior to the interior which has this gorgeous leather seats with suede inserts which felt nice and drove very well and was very well engineered.
Order your 2022 early. I ordered my 2021 early November 2020 and it won’t be built until Late May and I probably won’t see it until June. That’s 8 months. I know it’s new but I’m dissapointed in the long lead time.
Why didn’t Ford make the mustang a “Hybrid” it would have been much better received I believe, even with the impressive 300 mile range.
hybrid, best of both worlds
