    If you think that I am anti EV, then you are barking up the wrong tree, my Mach-E beats the snot out of most Tesla’s not only in performance but in build quality.

      I don’t want to talk down your purchase since you clearly like it. But Mach e isn’t exactly a great representation of how to do EVs.

      Their regen is really not right. It’s also really not a good battery system and suffers above average battery degradation. Not 100% sure what went wrong or if the car I drove with 10k was some sort of lemon… But I really did not like it. The screen, the windscreen being so tiny… I give them that, the car was comfortable to sit in but the suspension didn’t impress me, it really swayed a lot in our curvy roads.

      I do the same 25 mile trip in every test car. It had worse efficiency than the taycan. Long term reviews seem to align with this experience. How do you find it? I think it has potential but came too early into the market and needs a face lift in order to compete. Hence you don’t see them on the road… I’m genuinely not sure what “performance” you speak of… Because it’s not speed, range or handling. Sure as fuck it ain’t good at charging!
