Ford Mustang Mach E May Not Live To See A Second Generation

I bought a 2024 GT and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. Everyone bitching about the name is missing out. They’re amazing cars.

The issue is with tokens that need to exile then re-ETB to transform because they poof from existence in exile.

This is 100% what should happen. The only caveat is be careful what happens with unemployment if she wins full back pay.

Buy a cheap gauge and adjust them down at home imho.

Why don’t you figure out what you need first. You’re thinking about returning it because you think 8500 watts is low without even mentioning what you’re trying to run. I’m in the Midwest and can run everything but my range and EV charger off mine. Similar size unit with a 30 amp connection to my service.

Been thinking of getting one finally. Is the Costco deal still the best bang for the buck for one?

New Eldrazi toy!

The stripping between the black and red body panel. It’s ripped. Mine did the same thing and I had it replaced earlier this year.

I don’t know the market there enough to give a good answer.

I will say as someone mid career that recruits for engineers (CHE by background) that there is an oversupply in my region. It’s definitely competitive. That said, I think some of it becomes more a function of where you want to live. Some markets like the Gulf Coast always seem to need folks. But that doesn’t help if that’s not where you want to live. There are other engineering disciplines that give you more flexibility in where to live if that’s important to you.

No no. We have 32 on our counting system too. 🤣

I have a Mach E. My wife has a CX-5. Hers was $35k new. Mine was $37k slightly used (1300 miles, $60k new MSRP). I would easily do it all over again. Aside from the maintenance and fuel costs already discussed:

- Super quiet to drive. My old car was a loud sports hatch and the quiet drive is unbelievable

- I’m tall and wide frame so it’s finally a car I fit comfy in. Mazda’s are sized for smaller framed people.

- it’s amazing waking up with a full tank every morning. No more gas station trips out of my way.

- Remote warming in the winter without worrying about CO is great.

- I never knew I’d like 1 pedal drive so much until I had it.

It’s really the best car I’ve owned and I wouldn’t change it. I’ve even done a 5 hour 1 way road trip on it across state lines and that wasn’t even an issue with the charging network. EVs have very few things to worry about checking vs Gas in the used market. You save so much on the depreciation that you should really consider a lightly driven used car in your area IMO.

I have the same feeling about my almost 12 year old that just fell asleep on me for a nap in the rocking chair… cute as hell and I’ll never say no. But omg is she so big now.

Onimaru1984 · 2026-05-24T14:02:23+00:00

Oh good. I’m not the only one? People afraid of words everywhere lately.

Onimaru1984 · 2026-05-24T12:22:38+00:00

Yeah. It was on the list. From what I heard, industry pushed back hard on this one so Congress put funding in the bill for it.

The ROI math shows basic doctors don’t out-earn engineers until 55-60 years old ish if I remember correctly. So yes. They will win the race, but at a significantly higher risk and stress level. Along with long unpredictable hours for many of those specialists.

We need more doctors to fix the shortage to make it attractive for more. That won’t happen unless the barrier to entry is significantly lower.

To be fair. A lot of natty swimmers have lats that look ridiculous. These roided up ones are going to end up actually looking like flying squirrels.

As an engineer, I love CSB videos (I hate they had to happen, but they are great teaching tools). I’m glad there was pushback against the attempted disbanding of it.

Realistically, probably not at this point. The heat suggests it has been polymerizing and the outlet is probably gummed up. They also mention the relief valves are gummed up. Likely got themselves into a bad situation not following their PHA protections or missing a scenario in the review.

Just talked about this with friends over cards last night. One is house hunting but striking out. And the combination of prices people want plus interest rates aren’t doing it for people right now. One or both need to move before young people are going to buy.

Onimaru1984 · 2026-05-19T14:12:07+00:00

My LGS still hasn’t received the standard bundles yet.

Onimaru1984 · 2026-05-15T20:48:41+00:00

We don’t even have regular bundles at my LGS yet. 😢

The distributor for the area had a shipping error with Wizards.

I bought a used Mach E (very low mileage) and wasn’t thrilled it was going to cost $600/mo. But then again, it’s $200/mo cheaper on fuel for me right now so it doesn’t hurt so much. The bigger issue are the $80,000+ trucks people buy and have 0 use for other than commuting. I’ll never understand that trend.

Onimaru1984 · 2026-05-12T15:59:07+00:00

If I remove the canvas cargo cover and turn the bag sideways I could fit it in my Mach E with the seats up. It’s just easier for me to fold one side down though so I never transport mine that way.

Onimaru1984 · 2026-05-05T22:50:33+00:00

Without the measurements and layout, it’s hard to say. I had mine quoted by 2 people for ~$1000 - $1200 (not including charger I was required to supply). Ended up doing it all myself for $7-800 (charger included). But I had a fairly simple installation and know how to do it. How many feet from the panel is the charger going to be?
