Great video, Max. A few observations from an owner: Door badge: 4 = AWD, X = extended range battery. Power liftgate should fully open from one press of the exterior button. 2021s have kick to open liftgate, but was removed later due to parts shortages. Liftgate will also open from the main screen. Front trunk will also open from the main screen and the exterior number pad. Trunk/frunk release buttons are kind of hidden in the pic of the Mach-E on the drive mode screen. All four windows are auto up/down from the drivers door. Manual high beams are not controlled on the headlight knob, they’re activated by pushing or pulling the turn signal lever. Auto high beams are standard equipment. The shortcuts at the bottom of the screen are arranged in most recently used. You can swipe them down to remove them. BlueCruise doesn’t disengage like Autopilot or FSD Beta that just give up, BC can move between hands-free and hands-on modes, but the vehicle is still assisting the driver. If you’re not on a major highway, you can still use hands-on radar cruise and lane centering. When you map a route in the Ford nav or Apple Maps in CarPlay, the Mach-E will automatically add charging stops to your route if needed. Routing to a charger using the Ford nav will precondition the battery when you’re 20 miles out.

This video is exactly what I was looking for. I now feel well-prepared for my first encounter with a Mach-E tomorrow. Thanks!

Thanks so much, Max, for this video. I sent it right away to my friend who just got a Mach E. This is such a great public service to help newcomers to EVs so they can enjoy them as soon as possible. The learning curve can be intimidating but I believe that once you go electric you never go back.

I have to say that you are a master at communicating! Very informative. Probably one of best videos I have watched. Great job

A very very useful video. I am just getting my first and new Mustang Mach E this week ... and this is a great intro. After test driving both the Tesla Model Y and the Mustang Mach E I found that the Mustang Mach E is much closer to a "normal" car as I drove for the past many many years ..., making the switch to an EV so easy. The Tesla is super futuristic and cool but the fact that the Mustang nicely combines the old and the new era makes it my choice... Thanks for the great video !

This is the best video I have seen about this car. Hope to rent one soon. I feel like I am an expert now. ;)

[ReviewsAndHowTos]

Great video! I pick up my Mach-E next week!

[jaimepaul]

Excellent! Good job, no jokes, personal opinions, right to the point

[nonapplicable]

Thanks so much for this! I just got mine last week, and this guide is super helpful.

Deep review thanks I just got mine yesterday and I love it it’s great 👍

Just over a month ago I drove my 2023 Mustang mach-E home. I received my new insurance premium $250. a month. Very clean record for 60 years.

Max, nice video, I have a question you or someone at Out of Spec maybe can answer. 
Today I did a quick experiment on energy usage with our MME GT. We’ve owned our 2023 GT since late October 2023 and now have just over 2900 miles. There is a town that is 39 mile trip for us and it’s 20 miles on an interstate and the rest on 55mph state highway with a few stoplights.  

We’ve done this trip enough times to expect 2.5 -2.7 miles/kWh under the following circumstances: cabin heat 68-70F, seat heaters on for about 5 minutes, steering wheel heat on about 10 minutes, HVAC auto and with 1 bar of 3 illuminated, AC off, radio on, cruise control at speed limit +2, lane keeping assist/blue cruise on, and headlights in Auto.

Today we did the trip and I turned the lights to off and the car’s m/kwh computer showed 3.0 miles/kwh.

Temperatures and weather have varied but today was in the mix for a normal trip.

That’s a huge consideration if planning a trip, that’s potentially a 10% range difference!

Just looking for your experiences.

The Guesso Meter isn’t really any different then any other Ice vehicle. It’s always based on how you drive and it will change during fuel [or charge] consumption.

Very insight and detailed video. Thanks for sharing.

[honesty_-nohe]

Everyone calls it a MACH-E. MACH-E has achieved recognition in its own right. They can drop the Mustang thing.

Great video i hopefully get my AWD X Premium this week in Scotland is that the Star white?

[PaulBarwick]

Thanks for this, Max. I'm in the process of trading in my Chevy Bolt EUV for a Mach-E and you have helped immensely in preparing myself for the new car. 👍👍

[timdex]

Max... do you like Polestar Pilot or Blue Cruise better? 2022 Polestar 2 LRDM w/ Pilot + Plus lease... considering Mach E for next car... Stay safe, Tim

Would like to see a better design key, or card key.

You use your foot under the rear bumper to open the boot on mine.. I think that’s tech pack though..
