specially for the price, it's a good rival for the Model Y

Yeah, very good initial attempt. The issue automakers now face is that Tesla has had so many years now to perfect the electronics that it becomes quite challenging to even match their expertise with their initial efforts. I would say that in two years time, companies that are debuting their EVs in 2021 should be almost on par with Tesla on the electronics / software front. Exciting times ahead and also the reason why, myself, an avid car aficionado believes in EVs, as the IC based cars are already dead....(hybridization, fake sounds, quiet exhausts, higher complexity, ....and so on...)

A pity that Android Auto or Apple CarPlay was not used. If that works, then that means navigation , music, etc. from your phone will be available.

Hopefully it will come out to Ford dealerships here in the US soon. I already bought a Model Y but it would be fun to at least look at this. My husband has owned at least 4 Mustangs since he was a teenager. His father used to work for Ford and they always got discounts.

This is the Tesla killer, right?

Yep me too. Even my Fiesta had heated windscreens.

They hit it out of the ball park. It's far better then any Tesla made. Tesla shares are being placed on red alert, 24 / 7 death watch as they continue to nosedive and spiral out of control.

@@jimcmf2 agree with you that the Mach-E is great. The Shares are in different universe thanks to Elon Musk. He is a genius to stoke the future - promising not only the world but also Mars :)

@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 Investors are slowly taking off the blinders. Give it 1 or 2 more quarters.

@@jimcmf2 I am not sure about that :) and Elon IS a genius controlling the masses and stock market, very smart.

Agree. When I was a kid, my family spent a few days every summer in Norway and a big part of that was the Solo and the Champagnebrus

Does it taste like Orangina??

@@Mij1965 Champagnebrus is nice.

@@colla555 Yes, but better (in my humble opinion).

yeah, that's the race where all participants win.

Everyone is saying that Tesla cars are old hat now. Very basic, and blah...

@@jimcmf2 Nobody is saying that lol

@@danburkland Everyone is saying that. This is why the Mustang Mach E won North American Utility Vehicle of the Year award 2021

@@jimcmf2 Everyone but you just found two people, so it is not everyone. You just push your agenda by speaking for everybody like some dictator. Old hats in what exactly?

I was just thinking the same thing when we was talking about percentage of battery used for the trip. It really can put it into perspective when you need 65% of a 100kwh battery vs say 55% of a 75kwh battery.

@@AsterDreamweaver Yes... But like, still, for a fixed distance like that, its easy to understand how many stops one would need to go to Geilo (popular ski trip from Oslo) and back, a distance of about 450km roundtrip. You see that a car needed 90% of a full charge, that means it can do it, it can manage like 500km, Another car used 277% of full charge? Well.. 160ish range is not great, but fine for daily city driver. And consumption is actually there. Like.. It makes less sense to just show the battery size, he has compacted the table to make the letters readable for mobile viewers. I would add a "projected max range" maybe but still.. maybe not needed, I really like the %, it makes things more relevant on electric cars. Like.. Do I NEED a charge for 450km trip? Again, it is Norwegian mentality, we want to go to cabins to ski (that might not have power some times) and back, would be nice if we do not need to charge. BONUS Note / joke / funny story on this mentality. Polestar 2 advertising had a claimed "Polestar 2 can SAFELY go to Hemsedal ski resort and back in one charge." (408km roundtrip from Oslo) But then winter came and people complained in the facebook page that "no it can not" or "barely can". So they half appologised for false advertising and like made a new campaign with a closer ski resort (Norefjell, 222km roundtrip) "We want to be clear and honest in our communication. That is why we changed, says Rebecca Goodchild, who is the press contact for Polestar in Norway to Motor. She further says that in the winter, when there is by far the largest traffic to the ski resorts, you can not expect a charge-free ride round trip Hemsedal." That made it to like.. national news.

It's designed to be annoying so you stop doing things it doesn't like.

@@Hebdomad7 Yeah, but it literally beeps for everything. We have a Ford at work and gosh I hate all the beeps and tweets the car is constantly making. Like yeah, I know the car is running, you don't have to shout at me like it's going to explode if I open the door. Probably an American thing, because otherwise they would plant a bomb under the car, make it explode and then sue the company and blame the car for not warning that its engine was running.

@@Sabeximus car is running thing also present in europe, but I think it's something they introduced when automatic gearbox and start and stop came around... easier to forget I guess.

I love the ring ... love the name of the car ... everything about it. The Chinese people are eating this up.

all VAG products do with auto climate, even my 10 year old VW ;)

Incorrect. This was production car.

@@bjornnyland it was thanks for the correction, someone said in the Live stream that it was not, good to know it’s production only thing is non of the production version in the US on the Mach E forum or Facebook does not have the navigation issues.. do you know what software version you are testing?

It starts at 8:00

@@Psi-Storm Never seen the behaviour that the coolant pump does not start, if it is working. It usually starts before the power is being ramped up. Should not matter if a Taycan or a e-up is charging. And the charging power also matches with this "emergency mode" (~30 kW) without cooling.

My thought exactly 😂

But this solution is kinda bad, atleast model 3/S have a handle.

I don’t miss the door handles where you had to press a very hard mechanical button.

It’s for aerodynamics

@@yannickpeeters01 But it doesn't make any sense on a 2.3 ton car with such big front surface. the best example for this is the Hyundai Ioniq: Has normal handles and normal sideview mirrors but small front surface and to this day it still puts every other EV to shame if you look at consumption especially at speeds over 100km/h.

I rather have squiggles and a quick defrosted front window

this and prize

True, but it’s worth it

Ford has a long tradition and experience with heated windscreens. You don't see the wires so much. It is not annoying. Maybe Volvo has wires which are thicker.

Continental Viking Contact 7

No

tail light blink sequentially

Coldgateing means that the car charges slow because of a cold battery even after several hours of driving.

Where?

It would be easily fixed by integrating control like PI. Amateur level stuff here.

Increased mass. More inertia to overcome. But not as bad as gas car with additional transfer case, drive shaft, diff..

The concept of the car "being on" isn't really relevant in an electric vehicle. Ford should loose that annoying sound. The climate could be on, the car could be in drive or reverse. But just being "on." that is an ICE legacy feature and it shows.

@@threepingsthree Not if someone else wants to jump into your car and steal it. In that case, leaving it on (and driveable) and walking away is definitely risky, hence the double beep warning.

IKEA inspired....

Even my e-Up for 14k€ has it 😅🙈 ...

don't like the wires.

@@mattaut88 you dont realy see them unless you focus or look for them, have them in my transit custom company car and they are genious especialy when its paired with webasto :)

@@Savige96 ford has had them since the 90s and they owned the patent on it. But now since the technology is over 20 years old, the patent isnt exclusive anymore. So any other car brand can do it the same way. Thats why you are able to have it on your e-up :)

@@imortaliz you see them when oncoming traffic has the headlights on. Even in the video they are clearly noticeable.

We don’t have the Model Y yet in Europe. when we do it will come with structural pack, 4680 cells, front and rear 1 piece castings and better paint and I think it’s going to move the game on a lot!

@@scottwills4698 Ohhhhhhh yeahhhhh

@@scottwills4698 Maybe June/July.

Tesla norway to me they really weren’t sure when we’d get the Y, probably after summer but maybe not until November

@@Advcrazy I’ve seen suggestions they’ll start production in June/July which would be amazing. Not sure how long it would take to start deliveries after that though.

No

I have a 2006 land rover LR3 it has the same wires in the window

Other cars have it too. VW group for example. Even a Vauxhall Corsa that I drove once had it.

No, that is the decision of the companies if they want to put the feature in or not.

@@borisdemelo Whaaaat? In which country? Corsa D or E?

@@andersnilsson973 If you lose focus, that would be the worst case. But Bjørn is not easily impressed, he knows every EV, he didn't complain about that. He would have...
