Its closer to a Feista than a Mustang
At least Ford can spell Fiesta.
at least im not dumb enough to think that was a 'clever/funny' comment
Nor smart enough.
What don't you like about it?
The fact they used such an iconic/historic name plate on a bloody family SUV thing.
That aside it's got fairly positive reviews.
@scud70: I think because for some reason the big car manufacturers just don’t make iconic sports cars anymore. The money is in utes and SUVs (i disagree with this, these cars are not sporty nor all that utility either).
I agree with @DannyBoy, that model name has hard earned heritage and nostalgia, a brand of its own. But this car ain’t that. Some of the newer American muscle car retakes are abominations. The Corvette, however, is awesome.
@GeneralSkunk: The Corvette is a beast and not to forget the Ford GT both the recent model and early 000s.
Agree, euros make some cool stuff (albeit the new C63 🤢) but it's in no way even close in pricing to say a Mustang or HSV
@GeneralSkunk: Yeh definitely agree it shouldn't have been named a Mustang, not sure what they were thinking but that's Marketing for you.
If it survived being used on a rebodied Pinto or launching as an automatic 6, it can survive this.
@smartazz104: That was all they had on offer at the time, even that said it was a 2 door vehicle produced in a period of time where emissions meant everything. So back in the 80-90s most manufacturers were putting out junk compared to the 2000s stuff
Electric Horse?
"How do they call that thing a mustang."
triple lens tail lights?
It's on par with Holden selling the last 'Commodores'
.
And we all know how well that played out.
Damn that's an ugly 'mustang'!
Jesus christ i thought you were joking until I saw they were joking
Such an odd product. An EV variant of an existing sports car could be a really good idea, but it doesn't make much sense with a notoriously grunty muscle car.
This seems like a category of enthusiast vehicles that has very low broad appreciation outside the purists.
Pony?
Ironically they have lost billions on this EV model alone.
So how is it all going to pan out with reduced revenue on these new sales.
they'll find a way to make up the lost cost on service schedules… which on an EV should be near non-existent
That only applies to tesla
not selling well, huh?
Yep, Mustang fans won't touch it. EV fans won't touch it. How on Earth they greenlit such a stupid project is unimaginable.
Change the name and the front end and they had a product.
Even with this price cut it's still $15k-20k too expensive
They need to read the market, even 10 k less would make them viable against a base model 3 or byd seal
That is one ugly Mustang
electric Ford? what's next
Vegan Ford
McFord
Chinese Ford
Already is vegan!
Activist Ford.
A Ford Mustang that self identifies as a Mazda CX-5
Another electric Ford. 😄 It’s the future.
I don't believe EV are the future.. we are doomed
Username checks out
Another deal on a vehicle, cos you know, OzB is the first place I look when buying a car.
EVs be up there with eneloops, I mean I guess same category so
I might start posting deals on yachts and jets in case someone is in the market for one, you never know.
As long as it's an EV
A nice cruising yacht is the type of high yield investment vehicle I want
Pretty sure we've come to an agreement that these EVs are literally mobile phones with wheels and aircon.
I'm in the market for a new car, I find these posts helpful. The deal post I mean.
I don’t see why you wouldn’t.
Think of it this way, if you had test drove one of these recently, it might be handy knowing the price had just dropped. It might save you putting your hard earned on a competitors vehicle if you were in the market.
So yup. Fits the definition of a bargain if you ask me.
Ford : diluting their own 'Mustang' brand, one car at a time.
Meanwhile, the interior of the new actual Mustang looks more like a Kia.. and the price has gone Mercedes/BMW….
Why does everyone throw shade at Kia. Their interiors kick ass compared to the likes of Toyota.
Oh no, you misunderstand - I think the Kia such as the Sportage is actually very nice inside… the issue, is that the Mustang is not supposed to look like a modern SUV inside…. or be an actual SUV in the case of the Mach E.. It's a complete miss on Ford's part.
Lol, wait a bit longer and you will get them a lot cheaper, if you really really want one
Thanks, ordered 5.
Did they make any RHD 150 lightnings?
Sure. You can get one if you have $250k to spare..
https://www.drive.com.au/news/2024-ford-f-150-lightning-pric…
Funny, when Ford announced this vehicle they had the highest pre orders ever.
At the end they stopped production with around half of the made trucks unsold.
Even Mustangs tend to collect most dust inside showrooms.
Lol May has been a record month for EV bargains 10 so far: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/tag/electric-vehicle
Cars in general. Picked up (for buyers looking for better value) over the lats 12 months or so.
Mach-E or Model Y?
yes
Mach-Y
R U Ok Mustang?
Mustang hatchback is the right name
Lot of money for a lot of ugly.
holy shit just saw the pic it looks so bad
a real mustang is $72k lol
They need to bring the GT model under the LCT to make it attractive. I think the dual motor AWD with very fast acceleration is what people want. I mean for an EV the acceleration is the best part!
Yep that's the case for a lot of the brands though, Kia, Hyundai etc… Been looking at cars and EVs/plug-ins not under the lct I don't even look at as novated lease is the only thing that makes EVs somewhat palatable.
Although in general (not just EVs) the prices I'm seeing across the board is insane to me… Hyundai's and Kia's with prices into the 80ks is just mind blowing to me.. (we are a family of 5 so we need a large suv at the very least)…
Unlike the rest of the posters here a 65k EV is not even that weird when a frikin Hyundai Santa Fe is 80k… Not much different on the Kia side either.. Or any of the big Jap brands…
Mustang Hatchback?
More like Mustang Hunchback
Did they even sell more than 10 cars so far?
bro the mustang became another standard SUV
gg
Does Ford negotiate price on these or is it fixed?
Make of mine is obsessed with buying an EV and he does like Mustangs
I heard these don't have heat pump, which kills range when it's cold. So do research before you pull trigger
These didn't have one in 2021 and still don't in the 2024 variant…
https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/heat-pump-in-new-mod…
That's really bad if they don't
Hrm. I wouldn’t place a lot of stock in the lack of a heat pump.
I own a competitors EV which doesn’t have one, and the range is not dissimilar to the international versions that do have a heat pump.
I think (happy to be corrected) that a heat pump becomes particularly relevant in O/S markets that have proper cold weather (Northern USA, etc).
why does lack of heat pump kill ranvge??
Battery chemistry / capacity is negatively impacted @ very cold tempeatures.
Modern EVs need heating/cooling to manage battery temps, a heat pump is more efficient and therefore uses less energy.
Less energy used = less battery used = more range.
I have not seen a single one on the road.
I have seen blue in melbourne west. That's the only one got sold I guess 😂
Why did they make this thing?
Honestly no idea why they call it a Mustang. It is a bloated SUV and seems there been a few problems with them.
Who pay that money even now for it.
Read many times they drop in price once battery prices/availbilty goes up.. Which now seems a reality
Chinese brands who building millions of these things lowering the cost as well.
Still need a sub $30k EV new.. Although lots now S/H lower $ now
Ignoring the name the base spec actually looks half decent for shape/spec/price now. Yes you could argue a model y is better but for some this is never going to happen. The interior in this looks pretty good and I like the shape is handy vs a sedan, seats seem to fold decent too.
Onroads somehow add $8k…
Not sure if full electric is the solution for future especially with charging time and minimal charging infrastructure across the country.
I expect both will change with time.
True. But I don't think can solely rely on electric only especially with current battery technology.
Unless you're doing over 400km in one shot, that's nonsense thinking. Most people travel less than 40km round trip each day in their car. Even if you did this for a week you'd still have charge left before needing to plug in at home overnight and charge.
@0 0 0: In the 6 hours cheap over night I add 42kw (300km range) and costs me $3.36. or $1.12 for 100km
Our Subaru we have does around 13ltr/100 Stupid Boxer engine :) so $26 per 100km
The Mini I traded in used 9ltr/100km used U95 so again around $20 per 100km
Sucks for resale our EV worth less although saved on FBT Lease and probably keep it.
Seeing no major services like timing belts we just did on the Subaru or 6-12 month services or brakes every 2 years or so.
Outside one Melb-Syd and return we probably used fast chargers 4 times.
If you need to tow or do over 400km a few times a week yes look at fuel cars.
For most people a EV be cheaper to run although prices still too high.
Hopefully EV prices drop more a mid $25k small EV be great.
How do they call that thing a mustang.
