It's a surprising competent crossover from Ford with an interior that punches above its weight class. With the success of the Mach-E and the pending launch of the Lightening - which will be even bigger - it's not impossible that Ford could begin to rival Tesla in total EV sales within the next three years.

Can someone help me understand how the are going to get the extra electrical generation for all of the required charging of said vehicles. What will they then due with the spent batteries of the said green vehicles, because they can recycle them..... Nope!

Doesn’t look enough like a Mustang for my taste.

With the success of the Mach-E...

2,465 Mach-E's in a month and 12,975 in half a year for a brand spanking new model, isn't success.

Well, different strokes for different folks.

I’m sure Ford saw a use case for electric vehicles that they could make $$$ on. Good for them.

I’m not going to begrudge a person for their own choice.

Just don’t mandate mine.

Is the very corrupt, Democratic-controlled federal government subsidizing the EV industry?

With significant (imo) problems with EVs in winter and summer, I'm not going to invest in one anytime soon.

Insights welcome.

Mach-E

Does the "E" stand for, "Edsel"? That sold pretty well at it's initial roll out, too.

I was stuck in a two hour traffic jam from a wreck just last week during the heat wave here out west There were two teslas on the side of the road sans juice in the batteries. I laughed.

All the Mustang has to do is not drive into semi trailers or burst into flames while being driven and it will pass up Tesla.

There is a place in the world of Free Enterprise for rich man’s toys.

Would I invest in a car company that bets the bank on electric cars? Nope.

Just remember Ford sold a butt-load more 1958 Thunderbirds (the ones with the backseat) than they ever sold in 1955, 1956 or 1957; the classic two-seater models.

So ask yourself which one would you rather have today?

Maybe the numbers are like that because you can’t find a regular Mustang on a dealer’s lot
