Much better looking than the model Y by a long way. The Mustang badge is only there to make the price easier to swallow as the Ford badge unless on the front of a truck is devalued.

I do understand that. But they could easily have built a more affordable crossover on a Focus platform for the US market. Like VW is doing with the ID Cross in the US, on the same platform as the ID.3.

I'm not sure this will do much going head to head with the Model Y, etc.

I just can't bring myself to see that shape of a car as an SUV though.

I would probably pick it over an I-PACE. How big is it compared to the I-PACE?

Interesting comment was that seemingly 2 years ago Ford were working on a all new, ground up, Electric Focus. Instead the new CEO told them to work on this "mustang". A competitor to the Tesla Model Y, a segment in the EV market that is already starting to look overcrowded IMO.

More EV's is always welcome, but I don't think this will do much to spur the market on. A new EV Focus to compete with the VW ID.3 would have done far more for the market IMO.

Afraid not.

Us market specifically as moved way far away from sedans.

Polluting the Mustang name with a SUV is a huge mistake IMHO even outside EV

I think it's pretty decent. Better range than the Model 3 for a similar price.

No harm in some competition. If it does compete well with the 3, Tesla might try to be more competitive on price. If it doesn't sell because people prefer the 3, then Ford might bring their price down.

Win-win.

Ah another Tesla "killer" that won't actually be a Tesla "killer".

Hmmmmm.

Right where to start - if you want two screens - the Model S makes a much nicer job of it.

Ditto the single screen of the Model 3 looks a lot better.

Will need to be out of this world to drive to beat Model 3.

Charging speeds seem low at peak. However the caveat to that is that Audi have shown that a consistent 150 kw right the way up to very high SOC can be very effective.

I don't think ford said Tesla killer. Only people using that word is yourself obliviously as here. But people writing random click bait blogs on the interwebs

Mustang?

Porsche: let's call our EV a "turbo" and accelerate ourselves to the forefront of global EV branding mistakes.
Ford: hold my beer.
