So Ford didn't know their mustang owners tend to drive a bit recklessly? The analogies here are plentiful. Smith & Wesson knowing their weapons are used in crimes... McDonald's knowing their food will turn you fat...
If the gas pedal goes down X-inches, a mustang drive will press the pedal down X-inches +1

- Mustang Drivers, probably
The mental image this creates is just fantastic. 😂
Why would they? It's not a Mustang. It's a hatchback EV with extra ground clearance to pretend it's an SUV.
Over 70% of buyers are first time Ford customers. There isn't much of any overlap in buyers between an actual Mustang and the Mach E.
Which begs the question, why the fuck did they sully the Mustang name on that POS?
I was just driving around my city to make some extra cash on uber, and there is too many mach e owners here who spin the tires from stop and around corners, accelerate to 90s on the bridges even the ones that go up vertically and curves, which takes a lot of power and tire grip to do. These men and women are worse than bmw, porsche or sports car owners.
