I’ve had my Mach-E since March 2021 and I haven’t had many of the problems you’ve listed. My previous car was a 2017 Ford Fusion Energi Platinum which uses the same navigation system so I can say from experience that the Mach-e navigation issue is a Microsoft Sync issue (which is Ford’s operating system) that’s a problem with all their cars that use it. My two issues not listed are 1) the location of the hazard button on the center console next to the arm rest results in a lot of unintentional times where my hazards get turned on. Putting it somewhere on the dashboard makes more sense. 2) the air conditioning vent to the left of the 15.5” center tablet and next to the right side of the steering wheel is partially blocked because of the tablet and steering wheel so you don’t directly feel the air blowing on you compared to the other vents in the car.
Ford is treating the frunk lid as if it’s an engine hood with the double pull safety interlock. It’s way cheaper for Ford to pull readymade parts from their existing parts bins.
This is wrong. If the hood can fly up and block the view out of the front of the car, it will ALWAYS need the physical second lock. That’s just the rule for all cars and trucks, period.
Great video! I agree with most of your points. Few complaints of my own - 1. Android Auto does not go portrait or full screen, 2. Ford Pass does not show current status like car on, locked, etc. 3. There should be either direct soft buttons or physical buttons for drive modes, 4. No Blue Cruise yet, 5. No separate heat and cool temp settings (like in my Nest) which I think would benefit EV users a lot
I absolutely hate how the heat and cooling kills my battery. Im currently in Virginia and i am getting about 222 at 80% and i have the California route 1 version its crazy
I got mine last February and it has been a honeymoon up until this video. LOL The range issue is best explained by UA-camr Bjorn Nyland who recognizes that Mach-e does not charge in a flat curve. Shorter sessions, when possible, save time by unplugging before the KW rate drops. I love the 140KW~ rate at first, but that is reduced to the 40KW~ when approaching 80%. My long distance trip coordinated Plug Share, EA, and Ford to optimize the best charging options. Ford APP - yeah it is slow so I use it for reference to status but not interactively. Regen - a UA-cam video warned us early on that regen could cause passenger nausea, so I stay in Whisper. A lot of improvements came with GT, according to videos, that makes Mach e feel very different from first releases.
These issues were all fixed after I posted this video. Ha. Ford is watching. All software updates. But i love my mache. Easily the best vehicle but I'd love to upgrade to the GT!!
The non linear charge curve is present in ALL EV cars. It’s a way to prevent battery damage and reduce heat in the battery pack. It is a necessary evil.
I don’t have that problem with the pre-set radio settings. Agree with the Frunk release. I am surprised you didn’t mention not having the rear cargo release as one of the set “buttons” on the display screen.
I heard from another viewer that if we push the preset button on the drivers door panel, it'll change the radio back to normal quickly. Nice feature I'm using now. For the trunk release, I'm so used to going to the car icon, pressing "access" and hitting the release button. Doesn't frustrate me.
Yes, the math is straightforward, but as a software developer, let me tell you -- dealing with real world measurements (which can be inaccurate, or delayed) is quite challenging.
Its called under promise over deliver. I dont know to many people who would be upset their car charged faster lol. But people will be upset if it takes longer that the car said it would. Its not about trying to be super accurate its about people not getting disappointed. Also you can check the state of charge with the app so if there is a situation where you want to leave sooner you can check earlier and see what the charge state is. This is the same reason Ford asked the EPA to use the lower range mileage while Tesla uses the longest estimate. Its better to get more range or faster charge times than advertised than less range or longer charge times.
Its already installed mechanical, just not controlled by the computer since the software doesn't have the feature. I read rumors that they did this because regulation doesn't allow it since the frunk is so big. Weird.
Actually there is 2 wires under the square compartment on the front bumper that electronically pops the frunk. If you look up the process of jumping the 12v battery you’ll see it. I’d be willing to bet there’s an update coming that will enable this.
This is what happens when people run out and buy a New Model Car at launch...I think waiting until the problems have been identified and worked out..a year or so in would be better..Just want to thank those people for taking one for the team...
@@GetEnergi I'm sure they looked at alot of videos and worked on issues that were called out..I will know for sure when my 2022 Mustang Mach E is delivered
i am ordering a Tesla but really debate myself if I want to get Mach E. I will likely stay with Tesla because of the range but other than that i would trade other things for the ME. Things like manually open the trunk, I prefer it. the charge port in front is super nice design to me. I don't like Tesla port on the back because you have to back up into the house every night (ladies might not like it). Also, ME is more of traditional car (quiet) with parts available on the market. all other sw issues will be cleaned up fast (tesla did have those a few years back to). Lastly, reason for me to stay with Tesla is the price, ME is still pricey.
I highly recommend the Mach-E, its cheaper especially with the tax credits. And all these issues in my video were fixed shortly after by a software update. I liked the more traditional interior, i couldnt get used to the simplistic tesla interior.
@@GetEnergi thank you, I did order the tesla but did search for ME before, the price wasn't much different besides the tax credit. I like the simplicity of the design. AT the end, i need to get from point A to B with comfort ride. I will swing by Ford dealership this weekend to test drive the ME
Frunk can't open on its own in case you're driving as that would be a bad day for you. That said, they should have software that will fix that and disable if you're driving. Thanks for vid!
Thank you for your Mach-E videos. They are very helpful. As for the manual frunk release, it could be a legal requirement to have the double pull system. You usually need a release pull and then undo the latch with your hand or as done in this car, pull twice purposely. The reason being if the hood opens for whatever reason, there is still the second lock to keep it down and prefend it from blocking your view while driving.
@@GetEnergi every car does. One is inside, one is outside on all others. Unless you go farther back when both were on the outside. Yours just has 2 on the inside.
Well, your Mack E is still new. Could those conservative range measures still rely on the factory benchmarks? Could it progressively give a more accurate range as you spend more time driving it?
Good question. I have just under 10k miles on it. I think Ford programmed it to be conservative even if the average has long history. My overall efficiency is 3.7 mi/kWh for 10k miles. But I believe Ford puts roughly a 10% buffer on that. So they calculate range off of 3.33 mi/kWh. Like I said in the video, its not all that bad, just a small inconvenience knowing I really didn't need to stop to charge on long road trips. I could skip charges every once in awhile.
Surely this is just Ford PR team covering their arses? They dont want to see Mach E's on social media posts by the side of the road with flat batteries. Remember, it launched a good few months earlier in the USA and is still rolling out in Europe. Better safe than sorry. I do however agree with your point.
@@razzyrascal7961 Agreed. I do think conservative is better than overestimating. That makes customer's happy but Ford's "conservative" is easily upwards of 16% which I think should be dialed back a little.
I don’t get why you have to rush out of a store while you’re charging because you’ve met with a car says you should have. Since you’re stopped and want to be stopped why not just charge a bit higher and then your next stops will be shorter or skipped altogether.🧐
Is this the same guy that hated the buying experience? I'm in Colorado too and the buying experience I had on February 12 (1st Mach E on ground in Colorado) at dealership seemed nearly perfect. Delivery genius knew everything about the car and took his time to fill me in. No price or delivery problems. And as for the problems described in this video have not been experienced on mine at all. The frunk is nearly perfect on mine. Much better than those I have seen on Tesla. What's the beef? Maybe he is just a Tesla guy reviewing the competition?
13:57 I hear that it’s less efficient than many other ev cars but it has a very large battery (around 100hwh). Tesla model y long range has around 75kwh.
It does, just a personal gripe for me. Based on the screen it says I have 30 minutes to charge but in reality its shorter. I can check on the status anytime and it messages me when charges is done.
I believe the navi system is never as up to date as it should. I have been attempting to get my wifi to connect to my ford so that when I am home the system will update while I am home.
Hello, I got my new one and I noticed when car is off when I finished my day, the following day I have 4-6 less miles even the car is off. Do you have the same issue ?
Are you in a cold climate? That'll happen if you remote start as well. The range changes based on the temperature. Its not like Tesla that shows "300 miles" no matter the outside temp. The Mach-E keep updating its estimate so if its 70F and you have 300 miles and it drops to 30F in the morning, it'll recalculate to something like 295 miles.
So you're saying that if the navigation wants you to take a route that you don't want to take, that you can't take the route you want to take and let it recalculate?
@@purehealingtones During the time I shot the video the GPS would take me on routes that didn't make sense. Like taking backroads that add 5 minutes instead of using the highway.
Shopping for one now. I think they just cranked up the conservative estimates and the side product is giving the customer less range anxiety. We rented a Kona for a week, and spent the whole week worried about the range because it was clearly very limited and their integration into charging station maps doesn't exist (anywhere near as nice as Teslas's or Ford's) and it didn't list any local higher capacity chargers. So while we enjoyed the Kona, we hated the software.
You said 500 horses. Are there Mach E premiums that have 500 horses? I could swear mine is one of them I couldn’t tell the difference between my premium at a GT…
Dont really care for radio, I havent used it a car in over 10 years, USB stick with thousands of songs on it, prob solved. And if one needs traffic update, Waze. As far as autoatic and powered stuff goes, i drive around my dad's 67 mustang, and everything on it is manual, less crap to break or glitch, heh.
After watching a number of similar videos from other vlogs, I am surprised/relieved to see that the “phone as key” and Apple/Android pairing features seems to be working well for you?
After cancelled my corvette c8 order a 2 year delay with GM and markups i decded to look into EV. I didnt want tesla tho so i thought about a 2022 mach e gt but i cant see myself justifying $6000 more tho the performance i can paint the calipers myself lol but what ur paying is alot for magneride supension and barely .3 of a sec 0-60 and gt seats feel better than the lerformance doesnt justify im happy with 3.8 to 0-60 lol
The PE has a different front motor, larger Brembo brakes in front, different wheels and tires, and different , more comfortable, front seats. Is it worth it? open question but more expensive to add later.
GM said electric cars in America are a scam And people are falling for it Maybe it's true . Like the old saying goes if it's too good to be true don't buy it.
Nope, I don't like it. I'm not against electric vehicles. However, I want to simply get into my car, start it and drive away without worrying about calculating energy usage for road trips or being concerned about how accurate the usage of electric power is. When my gas gauge gets low, I stop at a gas station and fill it in five minutes. I don't want to calculate my time to waste when the bloody thing needs a recharge. Also, all the do-dads and electronic b.s. one has to acclimate himself or herself to is simply not worth it to me. I'd like to help the environment but the ev craze has a long way to go before I dump 50k or more into one.
So you are complaining that you don’t have to wait for your car to charge so long? And who said you and your wife can only eat as long as the car is charging? So it got to some threshold in 10 min instead of 30, big deal. You can charge more and eat slower if your ant, and you’ll have more power. Why is this a nuisance? I’d call it a pleasant surprise rather than getting pissed at the car/Ford. If it was the other way around, you’d be justified in being pissed off as you wait around for the car to charge.
He never complained about the advantage of it. He just brought up the point that Ford didn't calculate the numbers right. So if planning a new road trip you might feel more range anxiety.
They are trying to bridge the gap between an ICE and EV. Studies show that people don't want to be thrown into an EV, they want a steady pace. The biggest one being the push button. ICE owners wanted a key/push button still.
OK two things right off the top of my head. I would just match the guest profile to your own, so that when it boots up in the guest you’re good to go. Secondly you’re complaining that your vehicle is at a higher rate within the 10 minutes? Just leave it on and skip the next charger!
Love the video brother; definitely subscribed Im at the point where I’m considering trading mine in just cause I couldn’t make it to maryland (239) miles on a full charge with the California route 1 version its pretty sad honestly I understand its winter but that would mean i would have to ride back with the heat off to even have the possibility of making it on a full charge and on the east coast it was only 1 available charger on route
Thanks for the sub! I agree honestly. I plan all my trips out beforehand and plug in worst case efficiency. I always plan to stop, usually at a walmart to eat or something so I don't waste time.
I know, I've been contacted. They literally fixed all these issues once I told them about it. I'm really happy that Ford is on top of this and fixing things quickly (ish)
Just remember that the OEM's don't know software. You are going to see these issue for a very long time. Till this companies start to think like a tech company they will always have these issues.
Didn't know about Teslas issue. This mustang is by far the best mustang I've seen. Probably can beat out any 5.0 mustang there is since it has a mustang badge 😉👌
@@GetEnergi Tesla has body quality issues and needs to upgrade the plaids interior. For a car over 100 thousand dollars the interior should be spectacular!
@@GetEnergi The technology is spectacular in the Tesla watch the video's of the self driving being used and how it scans everything is wow!. Also the security features/cameras add amazing value and the Tesla has sort of a black box that tells you everything. But.......the interior needs to be updated no matter how good those features are people pay that price for the best of everything.
Sorry, but with software connectivity problems with the phone and fob (as per other youtuber with a model 3 and mache e) and ford dealership refuse to software fix because of car bricking, not having remote ability to open frunk, (only by hood release inside like ice car) stupid shifter using up possible console space and is harder to reach than having on stalk, vertical screen useless for entertainment, inferior charging infrastructure, narrow tires making handling and performance worse, having speed throttled after 5 sec (due to obvious cooling issues although ford lies and says battery usage which would be an owners discretion anyway), less storage and cabin space than a model 3 in a larger heavier vehicle, and poor engineering in a mess of hoses and clamps increasing risks of parts failure and leaks while carrying about dozens of pounds more cooling fluid etc. (see monroe tear down) No dasham or sentry features, no live footage. (which protects car and has saved us and others from being able to prove fault and harm. No future potential for FSD which tesla is so far ahead right now. Ford could not handle curve on highway. It goes on and on. Oh, and greedy dealers try to mark up price 10k and when potential buyer complains to ford exec, the exec tells them just to buy a tesla? LOL. It has happened more than once apparently. NO THANK YOU. YOU WOULD BE A COMPLETE IDIOT TO BUY ANYTHING BUT A TESLA. I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCE. P.S. contrary to what probably most people think, tesla charges less than any other oem I have seen for parts costs. Tesla has said that they do not intend to make large profits on service and supercharging. Don't forget that franchise dealers main profits come from Service. They want to rip you off.
All your 10 things just touch the programming settings, i'm sure these are not big problems that can be easily fixed by programming. I hope Ford watches such videos and works with the wishes of customers, because in general the car is very cool, I like it.
You bought a first year release of a brand new car and are complaining about the stupidest shit lol. What is the point of complaining about something they already fixed for example?
5800 pounds, 4 doors, crossover, and it's an EV... I'm sorry gentlemen, although it is awesome, that's no sports car... definitly not a Mustang. Whoever gave the green light on calling it that, needs an eye exam followed by a cat scan / mental evaluation. Mach-E sounds better and more fitting anyway.
In my opinion, your complaints sound a lot like whining. You have a few valid points.
Ya its hard to find 10 things i hate about this vehicle 🤣🤣

Ya all these problems were fixed very quickly via software, early in the year. And that vent is a good point! Forgot about that
Ford is treating the frunk lid as if it’s an engine hood with the double pull safety interlock. It’s way cheaper for Ford to pull readymade parts from their existing parts bins.
Makes sense, but supposedly they just need to make a software update to get it to open remotely. So practicality is there.

gee that auto focus scared me away beofre i could finish.
lol. autofocus sucks.
Based on most of your petty complains looks like I should get the mustang Mach E
Nice!
If you want to live with garbage.
Charging was off by 2 minutes???!!!!
Hahahaha. Hard to find things i hate about this vehicle
Camera is killing me blur to much
Gotta love technology!
Good God. I can hardly deal with your terrible focus issues on your video! AHH, you should get that "correct" my man.
Haha i did.
After watching a number of similar videos from other vlogs, I am surprised/relieved to see that the “phone as key” and Apple/Android pairing features seems to be working well for you?
Yeah no issues. Lots of youtubers like to complain. I have those videos too. But I haven't had their issues.
@@GetEnergi That’s awesome news! I’ve noticed that those issues haven’t been mentioned in most of the recent vlogs I’ve seen. Thanks for the update.
Great information, love your content. Your camera, not so much. (Stability and focus) 😭
First time doing this in 4k. I failed! HA. Camera acts really funky in this setting.
After cancelled my corvette c8 order a 2 year delay with GM and markups i decded to look into EV. I didnt want tesla tho so i thought about a 2022 mach e gt but i cant see myself justifying $6000 more tho the performance i can paint the calipers myself lol but what ur paying is alot for magneride supension and barely .3 of a sec 0-60 and gt seats feel better than the lerformance doesnt justify im happy with 3.8 to 0-60 lol
I'd get the GT! I feel the same as you, yhe justification isnt there for the performance.
@@GetEnergi thr only think im not liking is the wheels tho on the regular GT it looks bettet without the covers so i may remove the covers
The PE has a different front motor, larger Brembo brakes in front, different wheels and tires, and different , more comfortable, front seats. Is it worth it? open question but more expensive to add later.
Are you having an earthquake while you’re recording this? I’m getting seasick watching you.
dude you complained about the trunk pop?
That its not automatic?
Its a sport crossover its never going to have "floaty" suspension lol
bummer!
GM said electric cars in America are a scam And people are falling for it Maybe it's true . Like the old saying goes if it's too good to be true don't buy it.
true that!
Nope, I don't like it. I'm not against electric vehicles. However, I want to simply get into my car, start it and drive away without worrying about calculating energy usage for road trips or being concerned about how accurate the usage of electric power is. When my gas gauge gets low, I stop at a gas station and fill it in five minutes. I don't want to calculate my time to waste when the bloody thing needs a recharge. Also, all the do-dads and electronic b.s. one has to acclimate himself or herself to is simply not worth it to me. I'd like to help the environment but the ev craze has a long way to go before I dump 50k or more into one.
I definitely understand. Its a learning curve for sure.
So you are complaining that you don’t have to wait for your car to charge so long? And who said you and your wife can only eat as long as the car is charging? So it got to some threshold in 10 min instead of 30, big deal. You can charge more and eat slower if your ant, and you’ll have more power. Why is this a nuisance? I’d call it a pleasant surprise rather than getting pissed at the car/Ford.
If it was the other way around, you’d be justified in being pissed off as you wait around for the car to charge.
exactly.
He never complained about the advantage of it. He just brought up the point that Ford didn't calculate the numbers right. So if planning a new road trip you might feel more range anxiety.
@@ismaelcarrillo3956 no, he did complain. He complained how he and his wife now had less time for lunch, which is absurd.
Almost turned of the video when I saw Imagine Dragons on the radio. 😅
🤣
Hopefully the GT’s will be better.
agreed!
Things that are annoying are the autofocus on your camera
I hate it too
These all seem like Karen complaints
Yep! Hard to find anything wrong with this vehicle.
Can you make a video with a better camera? your camera focus is kind of bad. But overall, good review.
just bought a new camera! Dang samsung let me down.
Switch to iPhone 13 max pro :)
Why does an EV need to start? That makes no sense. I wish these companies would study Tesla more.
They are trying to bridge the gap between an ICE and EV. Studies show that people don't want to be thrown into an EV, they want a steady pace. The biggest one being the push button. ICE owners wanted a key/push button still.
OK two things right off the top of my head. I would just match the guest profile to your own, so that when it boots up in the guest you’re good to go. Secondly you’re complaining that your vehicle is at a higher rate within the 10 minutes? Just leave it on and skip the next charger!
it was hard to find things to hate about this vehicle. Very very difficult. Had to put fillers in there. Part of my sarcastic personality.
That's what you get when gas pedaling-Ford people with range anxiety develop the system.
All these problems have been fixed. Simple software update.
Love the video brother; definitely subscribed
Im at the point where I’m considering trading mine in just cause I couldn’t make it to maryland (239) miles on a full charge with the California route 1 version its pretty sad honestly
I understand its winter but that would mean i would have to ride back with the heat off to even have the possibility of making it on a full charge and on the east coast it was only 1 available charger on route
Thanks for the sub! I agree honestly. I plan all my trips out beforehand and plug in worst case efficiency. I always plan to stop, usually at a walmart to eat or something so I don't waste time.
What would you trade it for?
Ford employees are watching your videos
I know, I've been contacted. They literally fixed all these issues once I told them about it. I'm really happy that Ford is on top of this and fixing things quickly (ish)
@@GetEnergi should give update on what has been fixed
I definitely noticed that you have no idea at all of electronics stuff.
Burning my EE degree right now!
First Gen products always has problems, NEVER buy first gen products
So true. Luckily a software update fixed everything
I'm done with this channel.. You have way too many commercials that are inserted right before the start of your next grief.
I don't control any of that. Lol. That's UA-cam 100%

It's over kill. No need to be excessive.
Glad that I will buy a fully loaded Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition anyway.
I'm jealous! BEAST of a car. My small gripes about this car are VERY minimal compared to how great this car is.
You're buying essentially garbage
The camera 🎥 moving and autofocus is super rough.
Tell me about it! I upgraded to a Sony so no issues anymore!
@13:30 seriously? 5 minutes? Not even a Supercharger will charge that fast.
Check out the Kia EV6 charge speed, really interesting.
Just remember that the OEM's don't know software. You are going to see these issue for a very long time. Till this companies start to think like a tech company they will always have these issues.
Naw I disagree. These car companies are hiring C developers like crazy.
My E class Mercedes remote start don't even work
Oh jeez! Sorry to hear that
Gotta get an Ioniq5 or EV6 if you want a lot of regen intensities 🙃
I would love the EV6! I was bummed when Kia debuted that after I bought the Mach-E.
Korean cars are junk … they have a big reputation to fall in pieces here in my country. Ford & Tesla much better.
Do you get much better mileage than the gas burning version ? Is it quick(er) ? Is reliability ok ? Yes? Ok then, SHUT UP‼️
ooof
Except tesla hoods are opening while driving so your complaining seems kinda stupid. And stop calling that suv trash a mustang!
Didn't know about Teslas issue. This mustang is by far the best mustang I've seen. Probably can beat out any 5.0 mustang there is since it has a mustang badge 😉👌
What a whiny nitpicker. If you want software done right, just buy a Tesla.
Tesla had crap software at the beginning too. After this video literally all the issues were fixed. haha.
You think they will get it right on the first try? Tesla hasn't no one else will.
Exactly! Luckily its all software. All these issues were fixed recently.
@@GetEnergi Tesla has body quality issues and needs to upgrade the plaids interior. For a car over 100 thousand dollars the interior should be spectacular!
@@WAFFLEooFILMS Completely agree! I am shocked Tesla is a luxury brand without any of the luxury features. Besides software (if that's luxury now...?)
@@GetEnergi The technology is spectacular in the Tesla watch the video's of the self driving being used and how it scans everything is wow!. Also the security features/cameras add amazing value and the Tesla has sort of a black box that tells you everything. But.......the interior needs to be updated no matter how good those features are people pay that price for the best of everything.
@@GetEnergi you call no adjustable seat on a Mach e luxury?
Lmfao.
So you financed your channel?
Cool story bro.
I pay to have a UA-cam.
Sorry, but with software connectivity problems with the phone and fob (as per other youtuber with a model 3 and mache e) and ford dealership refuse to software fix because of car bricking, not having remote ability to open frunk, (only by hood release inside like ice car) stupid shifter using up possible console space and is harder to reach than having on stalk, vertical screen useless for entertainment, inferior charging infrastructure, narrow tires making handling and performance worse, having speed throttled after 5 sec (due to obvious cooling issues although ford lies and says battery usage which would be an owners discretion anyway), less storage and cabin space than a model 3 in a larger heavier vehicle, and poor engineering in a mess of hoses and clamps increasing risks of parts failure and leaks while carrying about dozens of pounds more cooling fluid etc. (see monroe tear down) No dasham or sentry features, no live footage. (which protects car and has saved us and others from being able to prove fault and harm. No future potential for FSD which tesla is so far ahead right now. Ford could not handle curve on highway. It goes on and on. Oh, and greedy dealers try to mark up price 10k and when potential buyer complains to ford exec, the exec tells them just to buy a tesla? LOL. It has happened more than once apparently. NO THANK YOU. YOU WOULD BE A COMPLETE IDIOT TO BUY ANYTHING BUT A TESLA. I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCE. P.S. contrary to what probably most people think, tesla charges less than any other oem I have seen for parts costs. Tesla has said that they do not intend to make large profits on service and supercharging. Don't forget that franchise dealers main profits come from Service. They want to rip you off.
Copy and paste, nice. But thanks again for the insight. Luckily there are lots of options besides Tesla now.
#1...it's a FORD !
Heck yea! Best of the best
All your 10 things just touch the programming settings, i'm sure these are not big problems that can be easily fixed by programming.
I hope Ford watches such videos and works with the wishes of customers, because in general the car is very cool, I like it.
Correct, most were fixed now. I talked with Ford about these issues. The latest OTA update fixed everything. I'm super happy now.
You bought a first year release of a brand new car and are complaining about the stupidest shit lol. What is the point of complaining about something they already fixed for example?
all were fixed after video was posted.
Stop crying. Grab a tissue. lol
Tissue in hand!
Very weak!
Clickbait. You can do so much better than this.
huh? My viewers requested this video. Hard to find things to hate but I do have gripes.
🙄
:)
Ford is working on all these issues. There calling Tesla.
All issues are fixed, software is great.
@@GetEnergi suspension too lmao?
Are u making more videos?
Well, several days. No response. No videos in about 30 days so will unsub
I'm in the middle of a move from Colorado to Illinois. I'm uploading this weekend.
5800 pounds, 4 doors, crossover, and it's an EV... I'm sorry gentlemen, although it is awesome, that's no sports car... definitly not a Mustang. Whoever gave the green light on calling it that, needs an eye exam followed by a cat scan / mental evaluation. Mach-E sounds better and more fitting anyway.
I prefer Mach-E, sounds amazing.
