Anyone else feel like this is what Ford wants, and not the consumer?

It's what the consumer wants, just read the quote. It's the kind of car that gets people excited about driving! Ford said it, it has to be true.
Studies have shown that electric cars are the only way to stop the world from ending in 12 years.
Sarcasm off.
Screw electric cars.
I'm not sure about electric cars, but calling this a Mustang, or whatever you want to call it is hideous. That looks horrible.
"Every Mach-E comes out of the box with a Ford mobile charger that can add up to 30 miles of range per night with a 120-volt outlet and up to 80 percent of battery life overnight with a 240-volt outlet."
So 30 miles on an 8+ hour charge at 120 volts? :lol:
Some random guy I follow on Twitter pretty much summed up my thoughts on this:

They are fast. I think that has something to do with the nameplate. From a business standpoint, you can't have a 4 door SUV be faster than your flagship sports car.
I wish they called it something else though. The Mustang crowd has been waiting for a Mach1 since the S197 and all we got was an overpriced Bullitt.

Considering how I am not really the target group for this vehicle I will say this.
It is a pretty exciting "SUV" in the way that the OEM's need to step up their game to meet the all electric platform. I think Ford has done that here.
The part I really feel they messed up is calling this a Mustang and with 4 doors to boot.
Instantly throws a bad image to 90% of the market let alone ones like me who are the Muscle Car, V8 or Boost hungry consumer.
A mustang it is not.... it is pretty much everything anti mustang except the Name, the badge and Taillights.
To boot this is why plants like Romeo Engine are closing to this new future of SUV's.
Rather see the ranchero come back as an "E" vehicle than the wtf e-mach.
Except for the Mustang name and the screen that looks like a duct taped iPad, I think it’s alright. I’d drive it after having a proper charger installed in my garage. As Justin said, 30 miles of range overnight is laughable. What’s the real world range on that “30 miles” when it’s 10° outside?
Should have just offered an electric power train in the normal mustake. It's pretty ugly too.
The first thing people consider right along with price, is how a vehicle looks. It is pretty darn ugly. Might be a great vehicle, but what were they thinking, especially calling it a Mustang.
I had zero issue with them claiming mustang inspired...but that's as far as it should've went.
I like seeing them do something pretty revolutionary though and to compete with the Tesla SUV I think they've done a good job.
As for the charging on 110 laughable yes, but I don't think any manufacturer will do better on 110 do they? It's math....
The Mustange' name associated to that exterior design is just not authentic to what most of us crude muscle car peoples expect. It has went rather far off from where it originally started & should Ford put in place the "E" styling as the set in stone design, it will soon disconnect future enthusiasts from the Mustang heritage.
As for the charging; It's really not a stretch to put in place service for a 240v[220v] receptacle. IMHO; If the consumer is affording to purchase a new vehicle with the "E" tech, the odds of that being added to the cost to maintain it might be minimal, if they don't already have an outlet close enough for use. However, with it featuring both voltage charging capabilities, it surely increases it target market.
Amazing!
From now on, when people say; "I just bought a new Mustang".
Others will ask them; "which one?" :dw:
Let's not forget this was a Mustang.

When is the new Mach-Queen electric being released!
Drag wheels do not make that mom-mobile look any better.
Mustang Mach-E should be a standard coupe body mustang in an all electric version, this SUV abomination should be named something else
If only they had something that wasn't a car, and had a name that hinted towards it being electric.

I don't know what you are saying- Ford
:)
They had to name it Mustang.
Ford already said the only car they will make is the mustang.
They had to name it mustang. That “brand” sells. They needed to use it to compete with Tesla. Brand recognition.
No other EV has the recognition as the tesla. Ford is banking on the mustang name to push it.
Interesting>
Ford Mustang = Horse
Ford Bronco = Horse
Ford Pinto = Horse
What's next?
Ford Stallion?
Ford arabian?
Ford thoroughbred?
Dont forget the furious Ford Escort Pony Attachment 85423
So does this mean it will also catch on fire after killing 20 bystanders from a Cars & Coffee burnout?
