    Utterly irrelevant blathering. It weighs roughly the same as any EV you want to name, and is more than TWO THOUSAND POUNDS LIGHTER than the EV Lightning.

    But you know… don’t let facts get in the way of you car guy squealing about how the Mustang name is a precious thing and has never been used in any controversial manner ever.

        A gallon of gas contains 33.7 kWh of energy.

        ICE sedans get on average 31.7 miles per gallon, which is 0.94 miles per kWh.

        Most electric SUVs get 3-4 miles per kWh depending on temperature and driving conditions. Electric sedans get 4-5 miles per kWh.

        You may generally dislike SUVs, but those Electric SUVs are still a far cry better than the gas sedans you’re giving a pass.

        I have one of these and it is not an SUV at all. It is a hatchback that is a foot shorter than a Honda accord and only 7” taller.

            I’m not sure where you’re getting the poor handling or the high CoG from. It has a low CoG because the battery components are installed near the bottom and they make up a large percentage of the car’s weight.

            It also handles quite well, mostly thanks to the low CoG. It feels firmly planted and is very nimble in turns. Sure, it’s not an e46 M3 but it would be crazy to expect that.

            It also sounds to me like you don’t actually even know what an SUV is. I know it seems crazy but there’s no requirement to comment if you’re uninformed on a subject and aren’t capable of adding value to the discussion.

        It’s around the same weight as an electric sedan, but don’t let facts get in the way of being a cunt.

            Yeah, the BASE Model 3. Now compare it to an S Plaid.

            Oh shit, that’s a similar weight because it’s a higher output battery and BATTERIES ARE FUCKING HEAVY.

            Not that this is relevant. If you’d bother to read the person I was responding to he was shitting on the Mustang because it’s so heavy and “tears itself apart” while Ford’s own Lightning truck is significantly heavier and apparently does not have this issue, making the person I’m responding to a fucking idiot.

      Same weight as a tesla plaid with none of the proformance? Sounds like a all that is mostly dead SUV weight. Also the lightning is 20000 lbs lighter than the Tesla Semi! CHECKMATE!
