That’s definitely another “copy Tesla” thing. Not sure how it works on the Mach-E but on a Model 3 in Park, the screen shows a huge picture of your car with frunk, trunk, and charge port opening “buttons”. It works well because the screen is so consistent and always on. [If I had to dig through touchscreen menus I would hate it. As it is on the Tesla, it’s not much harder than hunting for a button under the dash next to the wheel.]

@@juanlin555 The vast majority of the time I'm in my trunk without the car on. This car has to be on for the truck button on the touchscreen to work. That' means actually getting in and putting your foot on the brake to turn it on I'm assuming. What a pain in the ___that would be.

Zack took a BIG risk here on the business side of things giving us his honest opinion. I hope Ford looks at this and goes “we have some improvements to make” not “let’s ban/punish motormouth for not sticking to the script”. A lot of respect for taking the risk and staying true to your viewer base, we appreciate it💪🏼 The air vent thing was a bit ridiculous BUT it’s an issue which is exacerbated by all the other annoyances of the car. Door handles that make no sense, suspension, cost, non functional entry exit, expected easy access functions like a trunk button being buried in the infotainment etc. My only regret with this channel is not finding it sooner!

There are reported issue with the Mach E such as the phone as a key functionality and some weird shit with the charge port cap, but not the doors.

His other gripes are personal to him and even differed from his partner so I don't care about those.

I respectfully disagree that vehicle price is the main factor keeping more EVs from being sold. Most people I have talked to have a problem with range anxiety due to the sparse number of fast charging stations. If the vehicle is only used puttering around town, that is fine, but on road trips it will not work. In our area of the United States there is no good network of fast chargers. Even the Tesla stations are too spread out. If on a vacation, I do not want to spend my time waiting in line for a charger or waiting hours at a slow charger to 'fill the tank'. Until the battery technology and charger infrastructure are improved, a RAV-4 Prime seems to be the best of both worlds. I really enjoy your reviews. Keep up the good work.

Fair enough, thanks for sharing your point of view. I hear from a lot of followers daily that they just don't have the budget for an EV especially if there isn't a rebate available. We have the Chevy Bolt next week and it's priced around $40,000 CAD, more affordable for people. Looking forward to driving that one.

Zach is 100% right. Ford should have put proven components that work right from day one and stop with the iffy gimmicks. The doors and trunk need to be able to open each time with no issues, otherwise it's very annoying to deal with. On another review, I saw that the charging port door keeps opening by itself, which again is very frustrating. And that the car only came with one key fob because you are supposed to use your phone as the other. Problem is the app does not work consistently. Ford Motor Company has been around for 118 years and they still can't get it right. Seriously?

Thank you for the honest review!

Nice and refreshing to see an honest review of an electric car. I share Zack's aversion to vents blowing on me., I also hate sunroofs and I think huge screens are dumb, they must be brutal at night. Keep up the good reviews.

Love this review! I like it when Zack rants. I wouldn't want to live with a vehicle that doesn't listen to my inputs. I still like the Mach-e a lot, however it is expensive and it should have the government breaks as well. Its good to hear about all these little nuances that plague an otherwise fantastic product. Honesty is honesty and consumers need to hear hear some of the not so good.

Love these reviews! Love how candid and riled up Zack can get and love how calm, cool, collected and unruffled Andrea is! I’ve test driven this EV and personally decided to pass on it. Totally agree about the unsettled floaty suspension. I really wanted to like this Mach-E... really wanted to but Ford shows it’s true colours through poor quality, quickly ramping up the price through add-ons and no heat pump!!! No heat pump?!?!?! All Kia/Hyundai EV’s have heat pumps! This review only confirmed my already made decision to not buy one. Keep up the great work you two!

Great review! We eagerly awaited this one- you didn’t disappoint! Disclaimer we just put our deposit down on the. Mach-E, just fell in love with the drive. With price… in the US we have the $7500 and in looking at this, the Volvo, and hybrid plug-ins (Audi, BMW, Lexus) this came in a bit cheaper for the Premium trim. Plus we thought if your going EV just do it already and don’t bother with a plug-in hybrid. Side note: when we test drove we found we accidentally put the child lock on the back doors, easy to do as it’s next to the side window adjustments. Also the kick open on the trunk is a setting in the info screen. Not saying this was the reason for the problems, but maybe? Thanks for your candid take!

Aaron, I agree with you, this was an excellent and fair review of the Mach-E. I've gone a step further and I actually purchased the Mach-E two months ago and I have not regretted my decision at all so far. Like Andrea, I don't mind the design of the vents. I've not had any trouble with the rear door handles operating properly when pushing the button. I live in Tennessee, so like you, I get the $7500 tax credit. I live in a mild climate state and park the Mach-E in my garage so I don't anticipate issues with getting into my car in cold weather. The kick open on the truck can sometimes get on my nerves but it operates most of the time. I don't know about you, but I get stopped at least daily from strangers walking up to me asking about this car. When I purchased the Mach-E, I drove 6 hours back home to get the full experience of what it feels like to travel long distances in an EV. I stopped to fast charge twice for 25 minutes and once for 15 minutes and got home with no problem. EVs are not for everyone, including my wife, but I am satisfied so far with the Mach-E and would recommend it to anyone considering an EV. I believe Ford's decision to integrate some hardware buttons along with the tablet display will help with the transition from a gas powered vehicle familiarity to an EV's tech driven environment. It was a deciding factor for me.

Great review of the Mach E Andrea and Zack! Might have to test drive one someday.

I just found your channel on KZread and I like it. The two of you freely give your opinions, even when counter to each other, and that makes it interesting, lending to a full picture. I value truth and facts in addition to some emotion and color thrown in for good measure. You guys do that. Now, this Mach E Mustang. I'm a Ford fan and have been for decades. I really like the fact Ford is now moving very assertively into the future with their full array of products. North American leader for sure. This Mach E was engineered to be sporty, not boring. It seems to be the right size, not too small, not too big , with adequate head room and back seat room. I would side with Andrea in terms of liking a sporty, taut, suspension, but not too bouncy. I drive a Fiat 500 X and the ride is just about right, not as jiggly as a Mini Cooper but responsive. The fact you can dial up the sport mode you want with the Mach E is cool. Btw, I think they made a mistake calling it a Mustang, that's their "other" car, and they're different, as they should be. Mustang purists are not pleased. Just Mach E would have been fine. Mustangs have always been two door coupes. The range on this Mach E is great. People want range of over 200 miles and everything electric is leaning that way, even the trucks. I agree with Zack regarding the door buttons. Give me good handles every time. Back trunk space a bit limited? Well, that's why the back seat has more room, I guess. The styling is nice. Zack is right about the small info screen above the steering wheel. I like a good size speedometer and tachometer there, right in front of me, as on my Fiat. The large touch screen in the middle looks unappealing but it's practical and useful, as in the Teslas. Speaking of Teslas, I know the guys that buy them like the really "cool" and futuristic features they can brag about, and to many of these guys, price isn't too much of a factor. Looks like Ford is trying to appeal to this crowd with the Mach E, as opposed to what we see with the much less expensive Chevy Bolt, geared to the more frugal and practical among us. I haven't driven the Mach E yet but really want to. If I buy one, it will probably be when I can find one slightly used and much less expensive. I'm also looking forward to the release of their all electric F 150 based on the Rivian platform. Electric is the future but I wonder about battery life and battery replacement costs. Love your videos. Keep up the banter!

They are right-on about price. Give me a long-range, 30k, electric car that looks decent and I’ll buy one tomorrow. Don’t need screens and bs all over the place. Apple CarPlay or Android auto, am/fm radio and I’m happy. Are you listening manufacturer’s? As always a great video. You two are fantastic!

Nice review as usual. I wanted to like the the Mach-E, but the seating for me was uncomfortable and the ground clearance was lower than some ICE sedans creating clearance issue for me in my driveway. I loved Sync4, but found the ride quality was a little and bouncing like you pointed out.

It has been two years since this, I’m still not so impressed… not even used ones (well under $30k CAD now). Cheers.

One precision about government rebates: the non GT Mach-E is eligible for the $8k Quebec rebate because the base price is under the maximum allowable threshold. You can see it on the Ford pricing web tool. Ford had to revise the base option content to qualify for the Quebec rebate otherwise it would have been a complete sales flop in the biggest EV market in Canada.

Thunderbird! Perfect name for this vehicle IMO

Great job bringing real world practicality to this vehicle. I may be confused but it seems as if Zach was not a big fan :). I have actually been watching this vehicle for quite some time and, as a Ford driver, I was really hopeful this was going to be the EV for me. So far there are too many issues for me to be able to dive in. First off this really is not an SUV but a station wagon. That ground clearance is terribly too small. The frunk only opening by pulling the handle twice (who thought that was intuitive), no power frunk open/close, no ventilated seats, no ability to shade the pano glass in blazing heat, the fuel door dents the body if you are not careful and the part about the jumping through front end when battery dies are all things I just don’t accept in this price point.

Andrea. I am so sorry. I have to agree 100% with Zack. Although to exterior design is OK, the interior and especially the dash is a completely amateur effort. I think they were trying to make it a Fordla.

Rant is what we want. True unbiased feedback is much appreciated. Thank you Zack!

Another great review. Like most folks, I start the video and immediately scroll down to the comments. Got to agree with Zach about the door handles and the center screen, and he makes an excellent point that if Ford had removed these expensive gadgets, they could have got the price of the Mach-e down to VW ID.4 levels. The current price of the Mach-e puts it right at the same price as a Telsa Model Y (even with the $7500 Federal Tax Credit). Sorry Ford, but you can't compete with the Model Y.

Dealerships to Ford: EV has a very little maintenance, and fewer parts to go wrong. Ford to its dealers: don’t worry, I’ve got you (just came from Sandy Munro’s latest video) 🤣

You can tell that Zach LOVES this car! LOL!

Nice Job! Thanks guys! Another honest review that highlights issues most reviewers on You-Tube are too scared to bring up. I had a MACH-E for two hours this week and everything brought up here is 100% accurate. Zach is bang on with the pricing issue, it's by far the biggest issue for electrification. At the price this vehicle is selling for in Canada you would have to use a lot of gas to save anything. If the environment is your biggest concern look at the facts, if every vehicle in North America went electric the GHG change in the environment is insignificant. The change has to come China and India GHG emissions but PC culture wants to hide that and get you into an electric vehicle. What about the GHG that are caused from electricity generation?

I'm glad Zack brought up some of the pains that a user would endure....hopefully they can make further improvement to it.

I am sure Ford will be working on these issues.

I totally agree with Zack about the cold air blowing directly on me. I prefer the A/C to be unnoticed and just make the cabin comfortable. And, blowing cold air directly on me is only acceptable on initial cool down when first driving away with a hot cabin.

While Zack rants Andrea keeps smiling 😁way to go Andrea 🤣😂👍🏾

I don't like anything blowing on me either when driving but sometimes on a long trip you need it to stay awake. Andrea, do you agree?

I like the way they describe cars telling it like they see it without being opinionated.
