Basically the same thing. It WAS weird, I guess my point is, people that aren't extremely car online seem to like the idea of a Mustang crossover.

We needed to add a second car since my mom is going to be moving in with us this weekend so I went and bought this thing to go with the Mach E.



Reasonably pleasant dealer experience, especially for a Chevy. Did all of the negotiating via text so when I got there I just had to test drive and sign paperwork. Haven’t spent much time with it but it’s a pretty good little car for the money. I’m going to drive it into the ground.

Nice Bolt! Not my favorite color, but great little cars.

RE: charging, I can charge 100% at work, fiance plugs her ID.4 in every night, on weekends we don't plug either car in until Sunday night when both our batteries are flat, and we have to shuffle chargers.

I've met a few EV owners, especially of ID.4s that exclusively fast charge their cars, usually once or twice a week.

I don't know if my fiance just drives like less of a dick than I do, or VW has really pessimistic range estimates, but her ID has been returning way better efficiency than expected, which I don't think the Bolt did when she was commuting in that.

Yea not my favorite color either but it was basically the only one I found with the options I wanted at a dealer who wasn’t asking for an absurd markup. I think it’ll make a great little around-town car.

the other day i was walking down the street, and some dude stopped me with both hands and gestured at my car. i turned, and there it was, my Big Beautiful Ford Mustang (TM) Mach-E (R), still as beautiful as the day i met her. when i turned back, he had a bright smile on his face.

BUT MY LIVELIHOOD DEPENDS ON THE FORUMS!
on Saturday I was trying to set up a new display in my guest bathroom (weather, news, itinerary for dinner guests, streamed content, etc) when I heard an ungodly racket from outside the window. Turns out some kids that I didn't recognize were using the condominium playground unsupervised. I did my best to discipline them from my condo and they eventually left.

That made me peckish, so I used my Google Watch to tell my husband to bring me a sandwich from the kitchen. I also told him to wear his Commander Riker pajamas for good measure. While I waited for "Number One," I used the hallway computer to dash off a quick email to the HOA about the hooligans in the playground. We live in a very multicultural community, despite it being Texas, and I would hate for one of the resident children to feel oppressed by these thugs.

Anyway, my husband finally showed up with a sandwich that was much too dry. I playfully upbraided him, and one thing led to another until we were making our way down to our 2023 Mach-E, to roleplay "Turkish Bus" in the backseat.

Unbeknownst to us, a homeless man that I had never seen before was loitering across the parking lot. I heard him say "oh god, not this rear end in a top hat again" and I was afraid that he'd seen us in our impropriety, but I did not recognize him. I quickly got out of the car and pretended to be looking for something in the backseat.

However he just pointed at the Mach E, grinned a hobo grin, and yelled "that's a mighty environmentally friendly jalopy! Hillary Clinton is my abuela!" Then he gave me two thumbs up, before disappearing into his hat, which flew away on a sudden strong breeze.

Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy


Honestly I hadn't kept up with car news for a while and the 1st like 5 times I saw Mach-E's around I never equated the pony emblem on the front with Ford nor a Mustang and I thought it was just some new electric car company logo that I hadn't heard about yet.

I think it's locked down to certain trims:

quote:

It’s worth noting that the Mustang Mach-E does offer heated seats as an option the Select trim level, and equips them as standard on California Route 1, Premium and GT trim levels.

Yep! There's a few goons (including me) here who own them. So far the manufacturers are Energica and Livewire. Zero apparently will have DCFC soon, and Ducati will likely make their MotoE production bike DCFC whenever that comes out.

I just saw a policeman ride past on a Zero earlier. Very cool if they're issuing them to the city cops.
