I Finally Got a New Ford Mach E and Here's What I Really Think of it

Rev your engines

here

it's a real 2022 mustang simulated egt now of course realize they're not giving them away now the mustang makes fun of everything they said they start at 45. forget it was 75,000 gotta tell

ford

. benefit, they didn't classify them over the coals and they didn't say we're going to add this, this and this. He paid the list price that was on the Internet, so he knew

what

he was getting into and they didn't sell. They tell them a lot of extra crap, at least they're honest about it and I know they're always changing things, they're trying to make it so you can't resell it, but if he wanted to resell this one right now he probably could. he makes 20 grand but he likes the car so no but the poor people are trying to say like GM they are trying to say well you can't sell the car for a year or we will void the warranty blah blah , blah, blah, blah, they have Actually I haven't done it yet, but he paid less price and got it and didn't receive any round of tire, but on the other hand he placed the order in September and just received it, it always takes eight months before receiving the vehicle now.

Of course, it's an all-electric car and you

think

, hey, the fans are working fine, the batteries and motors need to cool down. You will often hear the fans running because they have to keep the batteries and generator from overheating. Now, this has the extended range battery you were getting. 240 mile range but picked it up three days ago and they did software updates so they retired it and the range is now 265 but warned me about this once it goes over 70 miles per hour it starts to lose range a lot faster. and he also figured out something else, t

here

's a power band that we'll show later when we drive it when you go below 70 and you step on it, it will start to lock out the throttle power, normally you'll have full throttle power, but he figured it out.

Over 70 bars don't go that far and some of them are blocked with gray. I guess Ford is limiting the top speed. Top acceleration realize this is an electric vehicle, it's got 600 pound-feet of torque, that's a lot of torque. I'm worried that people are going to lose acceleration. I suppose that after 70 things start to turn around in some way. They are limiting it with software. They realize that the top speed of this thing is 124 miles per hour, which is obviously limited by computer, because that's how they do it. much faster, they don't want to do it much faster, I mean, they're being logical here, you know, who needs to go 124 miles per hour, right, I mean, fights can go over 200 miles per hour, the

really

elegant, but you. they are going to lose a lot of power, they are much more dangerous, they are making this a real driving car and not a muscle car that will go to the race track, no that's not

what

it's about and of course your vulgar ones leave wow, look at this, this shows on the strip how he used energy.

Four percent of it was used in climate use because the air conditioning is on, it's hot. 90 were used to drive 5 accessories and one percent in the external temperature. Look, it's got a

really

nice board there and we'll start from scratch here and turn it on, play some cool music. Now it started. I have to say one thing. I'm artistically disappointed in that startup when they brought me that Ford Bronco. It had the coolest start with atoms and then molding it into a desert bronco. For me, they had phenomenal graphics. This is a bit basic for your fancy electric mustang, of course being an electric vehicle it has all kinds of plugs. it's charging you can just charge your phone by putting it in there and it has a gear shaft even though it's electric and there's really no transmission, now I have to say Ford is being a little sneaky here let's look in the driver's door. pillar here, what does it say?

It says made by Ford Motor Company and you can see they've hidden it back here. So I will mention only one thing: all of these are built in Mexico, not a single word says that this baby became magical. but they all are now when we open the front there is no engine it has a frunk it has a little space here you can put things in it it is a modern car so it has that new coolant and speaking of which you can see here use the air conditioning use up to the five percent of its range, it has to because it's using energy.

Now it doesn't say it anywhere on the vehicle, but it's all-wheel drive with 600 pound-feet of torque, it's got these huge bramble brakes, those suckers. They are huge now you notice the rotors are not drilled they are vented on the inside but they are not drilled realize this is a 4,500 pound car because the batteries weigh a lot they are very heavy just when you drill the holes they dissipate the heat even better They also wear out very quickly, I realize this has regenerative braking to use the power, that's how it organizes even though it weighs a lot and has so much power, so the brakes don't get used as much in a car normal, but if you had slotted and drilled discs, you realize one thing: they are also noisy, as they can get very loud and often you will also get vibration from the pedal, so unless you are racing, you don't want to do it. that.

Also, let's face it, you're not going to drag people in these things that have muscle cars because the speed of this thing is limited to 124. Those guys will do 180 200, they'll run you off the road, hey, it's got four doors, decent room in The back has a lot of space in the trunk, it hides things here so that people can't see it. One of the most interesting things about it is to take a look at it. It has a glass cover. It is made of gorilla glass, just like my phone, only much bigger. No more worrying about bird shit ruining your ceiling paint.

It's Gorilla Glass. Wash it and clean it and it will look good forever. Hopefully they have good quality control on the Gorilla Glass, but let's be real. Corning has been doing things like that. for a long time it generally holds up pretty well, it looks good and will probably look good for quite a long time if you are

think

ing of buying an electric car of any type that is included, here is a warning that I unfortunately have to give you. These guys don't provide EV repair information, it's a different technology, right, that's not what people have to learn, but check this out, here's my data system that I use and pay for every year.

I am a mechanic to repair cars normally there. There will be thousands of pages of information. There is practically nothing to this. Let's look at electric propulsion. This is an electric vehicle. The only thing you have here is a technical service bulletin and only one. Ok, in normal cars. I will have thousands of pages of information. the data would show that it is not a prius here is the electrical system this is how it works this is how you can take it apart and replace the engine this no they don't give you any of that information now the teslas are even worse there is no information on all the data for a tesla i can't get any information now this thing has an obd port, under here is the port that just plugs in so we're going to do an auto scan here and unfortunately this scan tool won't scan it. so let's get another one so we're trying a different scan tool it detected it now i read the vin number but i can't access it either so we have one more try to take out the monster now let's hope this is like goldilocks and the three bears , the first one didn't even read the vin, the second one read the vin but couldn't get the data, let's see if this works for the whole tamal, so we'll plug it in, press the key to communicate the smart diagnostic scan event. let's do a diagnostic, it says data is being loaded, it's taking a while so I'm guessing something is rotten in Denmark here and sure enough it failed, you might be able to enter it manually so we'll try to stop it from doing that.

Try my luck here, I guess it's not going to be manual either, so we'll go to Ford, we'll manually select the vehicle, it's a Ford, we'll select them, it's a mustang, there's no electric car, so don't go, now it's taken. the Ford dealership and were able to access the information with their special Ford computer. They are basically acting like Tesla. They don't make it easy for anyone to work on it or get information on how to fix it, so if you buy one of these, I know I'm not a fan of these insurance plans, in this case I bought the extended service plan, paid 2500 dollars and that's eight years or eighty thousand miles.

You better have it because they are made in Mexico, they are new vehicles if something goes wrong. the sky is the limit it's like when you go to the doctor how much is this going to cost doctor oh don't worry I will send you a bill in the mail and now they are at that level because I can't access this information even with my 7 000 scan tool and even if I access the information, what does it mean? I can't tell because the data systems don't include them, well it does include them but it doesn't really give you any information.

Do you know what difference there is? Make sure you buy that extended plan for eight years or eighty thousand miles actually if you're one of those people who's going to buy something like this and you're going to put 40 to 50,000 miles a year on it. so you're on your own after 80,000 miles, realize that, but with that said, let's go for a drive, let's drive and drive and go, we realize that like a tesla, it has regenerative braking, so you take away the foot. The gas seems to have stopped on its own, so you have to get used to that.

Now I'm going to wait until we get to our little race track and I can tell when I step on the gas. This thing is crazy. 600 lb-ft of torque is quite a bit I also realize this is a crossover vehicle, this is not a normal mustang, normal mustangs ride much stiffer, this is not a race car, the handling is not as good as It would be in a race-prepped mustang and it will take some getting used to taking your foot off the gas and stopping on its own, but of course with regenerative braking and regular brakes, you'll want to stop this thing.

It stops in an instant and you realize it also has all-wheel drive. which will make driving and stopping very easy, so we'll get to our little speed track in the sky here. I can feel it coming. We'll do it from a complete stop, although we'll go around the bend here. well let's push the gas full and see what happens it takes off like a rocket we're already going 90 miles per hour and let's say you want to overtake someone here we go at 40 let's go to the ground look how fast it passes people, this is a small rocket that reaches at least 126 miles per hour so it's speed limited and although it's not a mustang sports car it's a mustang e crossover suv hey it has decent handling it's not race track handling but you can take these curves . pretty fast, you don't feel like you're losing control at all, it has all the traction control for lane changing, the owner showed me a weird thing when you're driving down the highway, you can fold them up while you're going 80 miles an hour or so make it 60.

That's not a good thing because the mirrors and the lane change system now also have cameras, but they're at a different angle and he said it really ruins the lane change and the warning system because now the sensors, like you can see at the end, they point in a different direction. I guess it's a Ford bug and I'll have to fix that there is no way you can retract those mirrors while you're driving down the highway at higher speeds, you notice that they haven't retracted automatically, they just stay there until I press the button and then They come back out, you don't have to have your feet on the brake and it stays there. waiting for the light to come on by itself, but of course you won't find anyone who doesn't like that 600 lb-ft of torque, it's crazy, it has normal car features, like a normal turn signal that normally clicks , this is not crazy. spaceship that you have to be an alien to understand how to operate it, it's all just regular checks like a normal car, yes they are made in Mexico, no you will never find any Scotch, at least as it is today, that can work. them because not only can we not access the information on a car, but we also cannot access the information in our data systems, so we will have to go to the El Forto dealership and pay a fortune unless I buy one of their 80 eight years old. 000 mile extended warranty plans, which in this case I would say you really have to do with a car like this.

Okay, the guy shelled out $75 grand for this car. Interestingly, he just realized that these are new vehicles and will have teething problems. A software update was done, they updated the software and their range went from 240 to 265. I have seen people with Tesla after their software updated the range went down, this went up, so at least they are going in the right direction, the only direction I wish they started doing these things in Detroit instead of Mexico, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repairs. videos remember to ring that bell
