Mustang Mach-e GT, would you switch?

ponytuning · 03-03-2021, 05:25 PM

Considering getting an electric if my state pushes for higher gas tax in the likes of Washington state and the mach-e GT seems something that shouldn't make me miss my x6 50i.
Whaddaya think, would you switch?

This would be a first time getting into a Ford for me but the mach e reviews are pretty good and the 7k tax brakes seems enticing enough to take the plunge.

I would. Love my diesel but sooner than later I will have to let it go.

I saw one recently and it looks nice both inside and out. I said maybe since, my wife has an EV and I have really enjoyed driving it. I was planning on waiting for the iX, but the Mach-e would be on the list since the interior looks pretty neat.

I think I will wait until the WBTIC battery technology is in use.

Kidding aside, if I didn't like to jump in my vehicle and drive 2000 miles at times, I would be open to try an electric vehicle like the Mach-E GT. Especially if the gas taxes keeps rising to the point where it feels like I'm driving in Europe, when I look at the receipt from the gas pump.

If we are lucky, Porsche will lead the way with synthetic fuel, that will rival battery technology in cleanliness and cost, so we won't have to give up on the sweet sound of big IC engines.

I wouldn't switch but I do find it to be an intriguing option for an electric car.

switch to electric to save money as a private buyer doesn't work.

Agree. Not a fan myself of electric cars, but the GT at least made me look twice.

Would probably go with a tesla model Y over the Ford. Pretty sure the price is comparable

I have a friend who has a model s. Another who has a model 3. Have done numerous trips inside each. Yesterday another friend brought his new g20 3 series with adaptive suspension to show me and interior fit and finish and premium feel and ride comfort and minimal road noise were leagues ahead of other two.
I haven't sat inside a mach e yet.
