    My friend bought the Mach-E two years ago. I bought the Tesla MYLR at almost the same time. We have different preferences what we want from a car. We both like our cars, so do our families and neither of us would switch with the other or go back to ICE.

      Mach E has the build quality, looks and more premium feel. Model Y has the info system and charging network (in the US). So if you live in the US and can't charge at home/do road trips often then Model Y is a better choice even though its lacking in most other areas.

    Nice updates and pricing , it's a decent car just wasn't worth the almost $60k MSRP at the top end though Ford will discount these. I'm glad they offered ventilated seats, now they just need to add tilt which is missing for some reason (probably cost).
    Ford also needs to add the new Google based infotainment system both the Mach-E and Lighting - Sync 4 can be a bit laggy.
    The premium & GT are worth buying if you can get a decent deal which you probably can.

    Owned a '22 Mach-E GT Perf Edition for over 2 years. We have been seeing more range since a sw update over the summer.
    It's been a pretty reliable experience and the car doesn't disappoint.
    Careful on the EV incentive. For some reason, it's categorized as a station wagon by the EPA and not an SUV so it doesn't qualify for EV rebate in the US.
    Makes no sense. I have no idea why Ford wouldn't argue that categorization unless at some point they were the ones who categorized it for crash, insurance or some other reason...
    Ford was wise to lower the sticker price due to the lack of incentive.

      The reason the Mustang Mach-E does not qualify for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit is because its batteries are not made in the U.S. The LFP batteries are made in China and I believe the NMC batteries are made in Poland. It has nothing to do with if it's categorized as a SUV or not (which I believe it is).

I would expect to keep a car for at least 10 years. It would be nice to replace the battery pack with a cheaper, newer pack with better range as prices fall.

      Particularly good review, Sam, thank you. It’s nice to hear you acknowledging the situation of American buyers who, for various reasons, cannot bring themselves to buy a Tesla. The Ford is a great looking car and I like what Jim Farley is doing. Ford is far behind It’s competitors in the EV segment, but from interviews with Farley that I have watched, I believe he is serious about his commitment to EV‘s. I also love that Ford is making all these appearance customizations available. That’s going to appeal to a lot of buyers, I think. I’ve taken a test drive in the Mach-e, and although the stiff, sporty ride is not my thing (smooth and quiet, is) I hope Ford sells a lot of these.

    The problem with Ford for a lot of people is their business practices and how they treat their owners. They lost a lot of buyers through poor customer service over the years. Some of it is poor dealerships, but the damage was done and there are a lot of folks that swore they would never buy another Ford product. Ford just doesn't have a reputation for quality products that they stand behind with their warranty while foreign manufacturing has done a better job taking care of their customers. For me, I'd roll the dice on a new brand before trusting Ford again. I say that really liking some of their new electric products...just dont want the headache of dealing with Ford warranty shenanigans.

    Electricity cuts across an entire nation. A capital rationing water. A mayor encouraging people to shower together to save precious drops. The world’s largest river system, the Amazon, which sustains some 30 million people across eight countries, is drying up. A record-breaking drought that is well into its second year is punishing much of South America, including the Amazon rainforest, upending lives and local economies and providing an alarming glimpse into the future as the effects of climate change become more apparent. In Brazil, wildfires fueled by searing heat and prolonged dry conditions have consumed vast swaths of forest, wetlands and pastures, with smoke spreading to 80 percent of the country. It has led to canceled classes, hospitalizations and a black dust coating the inside of homes. To the south, in Paraguay, the Paraguay River has hit new lows. Ships are stranded and fishermen say their most valuable quarry - including the enormous surubí catfish - have all but disappeared, forcing many people to look for work elsewhere to feed their families. With much of South America dependent on hydropower, electricity production has plunged. In Ecuador, people are enduring energy cuts of up to 14 hours per day, knocking out the internet and sapping the country’s economy. In Colombia’s capital, Bogotá, the government is cutting water to residential homes at regular intervals and the mayor has suggested that people “bathe as a couple” to reduce consumption. Long sections of the Amazon River have turned into dry, brown beaches, and officials are dredging sections to make them deeper.
