I don't get the hate for Mustangs-the newer ones seem fine. I totally thought they were talking about the EV Mustangs, which would in fact be quite shameful to own.

That said, if were as rich as Croesus, with money to burn, I would absolutely buy an EV Mustang like this one made by a company that builds custom Mustangs, that I could drive around town:

It is called an E-Stang, and costs something like $200K IIRC.

Of course, if I had money to burn, I would buy a real ICE one manurfactured in 1968 and hop the crap out of it...:)

One of our neighbors down the street had a Mach-E as they are called.

He didn’t have it long before it was traded for an ICE car...............

A couple of years ago I test drove a Mustang Mach-e GT. From the outside it looks like a soccer mom mobile. I get that the crossover shape sells, but it seemed a sacrilege to call it a Mustang. IMHO it looked about as whimpy as the Mustang II from the 1970's. LOL

But
the
acceleration
in
that
thing
was
faster
than
anything
else
I
drove.

And that was while it was in Eco mode. When I put it in Sport mode it was even better. LOL

I didn't get it because it didn't have a high enough miles/kWh for what I was looking for. No shock there. It's advertised as a sports car; it's like the gas version not having a high mpg.

And the DC fast charging max speed wasn't as fast as the EV crossover I wound up getting. There's no way I could have made the 1,740 mile one-way trip I made in August from New Brunswick to Alabama in 32.5 hours (not counting hotel stay time) in the Mach-e like I did in my crossover EV. IMHO the Mach-e is the EV stereotype of being just a neat toy and not good for family use (i.e. ostensibly why they made it a crossover style). It's like they lowered the visual appeal from the sports car look to the almost-mini-van look, but in the end had no substantial reason for doing so.
