    So Ford didn’t know their mustang owners tend to drive a bit recklessly? The analogies here are plentiful. Smith & Wesson knowing their weapons are used in crimes… McDonald’s knowing their food will turn you fat…

    If the gas pedal goes down X-inches, a mustang drive will press the pedal down X-inches +1

      “Stick shift is better because when you push all three pedals to the floor, the car sounds real fast!”

      Why would they? It’s not a Mustang. It’s a hatchback EV with extra ground clearance to pretend it’s an SUV.

      Over 70% of buyers are first time Ford customers. There isn’t much of any overlap in buyers between an actual Mustang and the Mach E.

      I was just driving around my city to make some extra cash on uber, and there is too many mach e owners here who spin the tires from stop and around corners, accelerate to 90s on the bridges even the ones that go up vertically and curves, which takes a lot of power and tire grip to do. These men and women are worse than bmw, porsche or sports car owners.
