E Mustang updates & 8 second cobra jet E mustang, bad ass
« on: September 03, 2020, 04:29:30 PM »
Guys,
I have posted before on the E cars Ford is launching, and the Rivian, Aamazon, Microsoft connections.
Truly, I like the rumble of a strong V-8, or a V-12 at hi rpm song.
But, we are moving forward and NEED to look forward.
Shelby E and the Mach E are not for me, but will be for the younger pups among us.

So;

I enjoyed and understood.
John

Is this the first futuristic exotic in the world?

Interesting. IMHO the Mustang needs a price advantage to compete.  It does not have the panache of the Tesla brand.  I would also be surprised if a new Administration takes office, the tax credits don't get reinstated for all brands, including Tesla.

csxsfm,
I think Tesla's tax credit period has expired?
Fords is just starting.
Actually, the combined companies above, bring lots of world attention,

The one I like is the Shelby E coming, which is out of Tesla's league with no comparable models.
 Our mustang brand name is world known.

The motor company has released a first look at the new Ford Mustang Cobra Jet 1400, which can reach speeds of 150-plus miles per hour. During a test of the prototype, Ford says that the car was able to complete a quarter-mile length in 8.27 seconds at a speed of 168 mph.

Tony,
I just heard about the E cobra Jet this morning. 8 second passes
IMAGINE a AWD full bodied Mustang CJ, perhaps mid 5 sec qrt runs?
Good you picked up on it and posted the link.

I added it to my initial post header.
People do need to know that Mustangs heritage will go further into legend and history.

Us Ford guys own it , bring the Porsche, Mercedes, Ferrari, Lambo's, Aston martin E cars on>>

If after the tax credit, the two are nearly the same price, Ford is going to have to out perform and out-range the Tesla to have staying power, let alone scale up to profitability.

If they can't do that, then they will have to be significantly cheaper.
