I’m glad there are so many good options now. I considered the Polestar 2, and I think it’s a great looking car, but I wanted the 7 seats (even though I’ve only used them twice..). Hoping the Ioniq 5 and EV6 remain reliable. None of them are easy to come by right now. The only Mach e I can find right now is the standard range too.. all extended ranges are order only.
The Mach-E was my ‘runner up’ for awhile. Initially, I wasn’t actually a fan of the Mach-E when it first released, and I didn’t care for the whole ‘Mustang crossover branding’, but now it seems to make sense towards Fords vision for the future.
Anyways, I didn’t want RWD, because where I live, AWD is necessary here, so that automatically puts me in the extended range dual motor, which right now; retails for about $55,000 with inflation (MSRP is $47k-ish).
Here is one model I looked at. When you see them in person, and the overall stance with the contoured lines, it’s a pretty freakin sweet EV for the most part. And from my readings, I’ve heard mostly really good things in terms of build quality, with the exception there was a few software concerns with display cluster in the beginning, but was patched through OS updates.
Ironically, the Model S that I looked at, didn’t have any inflation at all, and it’s the most mature platform right now, but it also put me in a situation where I had to sell one of my performance cars. (My 392 6.4l Scat Pack).
