Why is Ford’s Mustang EV dethroning its rivals? Watch Robertoferris take the Mustang Mach-E GT for a spin to find out why it keeps winning so many awards.

All the praise is helping Ford take onFord's decision to call its first EV a Mustang drew some criticism from purists, with some arguing the vehicle isn't a real Mustang. But Ford wanted to position its first EV as a brash and fun car that draws on its heritage.

The highest-end Mach-E is the GT, which can travel from 0-60 mph in as fast as 3.5 seconds. Tesla's Model Y Performance, which costs about $7,000 more than the GT, claims the same acceleration time and has a longer range. But reviewers have said the Mach-E has some features in its favor, apart from its lower price, such an in-vehicle entertainment system that's easier to use, superior driver-assistance features and better reliability.

RobertoFerris But can you leave town without stopping to charge it ten times

RobertoFerris That is the ugliest POS Mustang I've ever seen. Even back from the '80's POS. Stick to trucks. Make them better quality. Quality is job 1. Remember? $F

RobertoFerris I've had a Mach E and a Tesla, Tesla is a superior EV. Also, Tesla makes 10k per EV and Ford loses 20k.

RobertoFerris in unrelated news: $F

RobertoFerris Is this the car Ford is losing 24k on? and that on top of a 65K price tag. And they are trying to compete with Tesla? What a joke. Marketing budget must be huge. tesla buytesla

Awards don't mean anything. Is it winning sales? Is it outselling its competitors? That's what's most important.

RobertoFerris That’s odd, no one wants to buy one

RobertoFerris The CNBC chatbot dethroning its rivals with this early bird infomercial. Taking hackneyed ad placement out for a spin.

RobertoFerris Really? The ones not with battery issues?

RobertoFerris In some parts of California it’s more expensive to charge an EV than fill a gas tank, so the technology clearly isn’t ready for prime time and EV’s remain fossil fuel technology despite the green technology hype.

RobertoFerris It’s bad enough that Ford’s gas engine cars are legendary shit boxes. Can’t imagine how fast their EV’s will break down. Wonder if they’ll have metal antennas like their new cars still have and no one else does. EV to Ford is probably 25 9-volt batteries connected together

RobertoFerris Boycott Tesla

RobertoFerris What’s the real range with two adults and luggage. Add cold weather to that.

RobertoFerris Those ought to sell like hot cakes to all of the people who can no longer afford to buy a full dozen eggs!

RobertoFerris Do great that you can’t even order one. They can’t produce it

RobertoFerris That looks more like my 2012 Nissan LEAF than a mustang.

RobertoFerris Wait until more electric f150s catch on fire... then Ford will be back to being Ford...garbage

RobertoFerris The thing is an abortion….Ford

RobertoFerris That ain’t no mustang

RobertoFerris Calling it a Mustang was the dumbest decision ever. CR has a history of using criteria like 'it makes me feel happy' when ranking vehicles.

RobertoFerris Sure does not look like a Mustang.

RobertoFerris Woke agenda, crap cars with no practical daily use!

RobertoFerris 😂 it’s not dethroning anything

RobertoFerris

RobertoFerris How much money cnbc get paid to make this stupid video

RobertoFerris Give me a Tesla.

RobertoFerris Let's wait for the cost of ownership

RobertoFerris I barely see any of these on the road lol

RobertoFerris Because they moved plants to other countries for cheap labor . Fake news

RobertoFerris That is ugly.

RobertoFerris Ford better stay with gasoline cars, at most hybrids. There is not enough electricity for EVs and the price of electricity is gonna go up, people pissed.

mrlevine RobertoFerris LOL - Consumer Reports gave it a “top rating”…? What a surprise…

RobertoFerris And who can afford this ?

RobertoFerris Togg ile karşılaşmadınız sanırım I guess you haven't met Togg Made in turkey

RobertoFerris No thanks still a ford.

RobertoFerris Is that schrute farms?

RobertoFerris I still want a 2023 Bronco 🥺

RobertoFerris That thing is ugly

RobertoFerris That should not be called a mustang.

RobertoFerris Where are the vehicles Ford? You been talking and no action... Do you have the Physical Metal to build them or not? Or you just waiting to blame it on supply chain issues too🤡🤡🤡🤡 this is a show🍿

RobertoFerris This is heading for disaster. No one can afford that. No one really wants that and the environmental costs of electric vehicles are even higher than gas vehicles. Not to mention that with gas, you can always fill your tank. With EV, long power outages can disable transportation.

RobertoFerris 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
