Mach-E GT

[Gillsy]

They were on a roll back in the Explorer/Firestone days too.

Different kind of roll though I guess.

Exploder/Firestone

Not my type of vehicle, but if I was getting one, it wouldn't be trimmed like any of the ones I've seen in person. I just don't do gray, and I don't do dark wheels, so this particular Mach E couldn't have been less appealing to me when I saw it sitting on the showroom a few weeks ago. This design needs support from wheels and paint. Get them wrong, and it looks like an old POS. Just an opinion. If I had to get one, it would be a Premium. Not digging the wheels they're putting on the GT.

0-60 in 3.5 seconds.

How does it do this and then run 12.7@101, does it just hit a wall at 80 or something? That's like high 13's/low 14's trap speed, yet the 0-60 is verified well into the 3's...

It only gives you full power for the first 5 seconds of a launch.

Why? Battery cooling?

Why? Battery cooling?

Exactly. It gives full power for about 5 seconds then it ramps back the battery power to limit heating. It's done for long-term battery life in order for Ford to guarantee 70-plus percent battery life for 8 years.

The pull these cars have never gets old. I have little use for 0 to 60 runs, but for messing with Porsches and stuff, the immeadiate torque is a blast. Earlier wifey and I were up in Menlo getting back on to interstate 280. A gorgeous 911 GTS zoomed in front and she said, "Don't you dare!" So I gave it throttle... All in fun. Safety first!

It gets old after 5 seconds, lol! No ty. Ford needs to fix it.

You wanna go fast, buy the fast one. Model Y Performance is sub 12 second quarter mile time.
Yup. Or the Model 3 with Track Mode.

TTh

There is no fast mmach e, just quick.

Agreed, this is very disappointing.

That’s a shame. But it is a CUV and not the sports car its name would suggest. Once again, Tesla remains well ahead of the competition. Tesla has the best battery setup around.

I parked next to one today. It really does look better in person than photos. I couldn’t see inside because the windows were tinted illegally dark.
