Just remember, those mileage estimates haven't been verified by independent reviews yet, so you might want to take them with a grain of salt at this point.

Real world verification you say?

However the point is that like the Porsche faithful had the same issues with the company rolling out a "gasp" SUV Cayenne, it turned out to be a top seller. These same folks ended up adding the SUV to the garage with the 911/996/997 et al...

wonder if Ford would have seen the same reaction if they made an 800-1200hp electric Mustang with a manual transmission AND THE EXACT SAME LOOKING BODY. Ford decided instead to make the vehicle look like a boring crossover SUV with Mustang logos. Why Ford!? Did they expect Mustang owners to get excited? Were they high?

Funny I remember when similar comments were made about Porsche losing it's mind when it rolled out the Cayenne SUV, how dare they, management is wrong, nobody wants a Porsche SUV, except, people did, and it outsells everything they make, pretty soon Lamborghini jumped in, Bentley, people want the make, and the vehicle.

Those hot rods would be bought up by speculators, as well has dealers marking them up like C8 Z06 cars into the stratosphere range, where few can afford to play, same as the GT 350 or GT 500's . Who knows Ford may just release a super hyper mustang Boss-E...

Interesting take though on the Mustang-E failures considering yet it's the second highest selling EV behind the Tesla Y, and, most dealers are sold out, and, they are commanding premium prices.

The new Ford F-150 Lighting looks just like any other F-150

The Rimac looks pretty much like any other supercar...it also makes supercar noises

You can pretty much tell a Porsche or Audi EV at a glance due to the family resemblance

The F-150 is cool as hell and I've owned 6 F-150s. The Rimac is cool too, but not my cup of tea.

I think if you are only concerned with your environmental impact, a used car from the 90s that weighs considerably less than a car from 2021 and is a "sunk cost" environmentally would be a better choice, no?

Something like a 1997 or so Toyota Corolla that gets 30 MPG?

I have a Honda ACTY that I use for all of my local errands and a 2001 Dodge Cummins for long trips and hauling. Both are old, reliable, and have a much lower carbon footprint than buying a new EV every few years.

Porsche didn’t call their SUV a 911 Turbo-U now did they?

Not a hater, just being practical that the technology is not there yet. I live in Alaska, it's roughly 380 miles from Anchorage to Fairbanks, it's snowing outside and currently 11 degrees. To my knowledge there is no dedicated charging site between Anchorage and Fairbanks. I wouldn't feel comfortable getting in an EV and trying to make that drive today.

Ford should have called it the Model E. Oh wait, that naming scheme has been appropriated by another company. It could have been the E-bird. The Super Dut-E. The Taurus SHOE. The Bronc-E.
