In the past two years, Ford seems to have released some unexpected surprises, such as letting electric horses and Raptors direct sales, and Ford electric carriage machines will be upgraded to 155 chip for free, and the software will also keep up with it completely subverted. It seems that this brand has finally found its own way.
I can be regarded as the first batch of electric horse owners in China. I ordered the car as soon as possible in the press conference, and then made a big reservation at the first time. At the end of last year, the first one in Chongqing was recommended. In the past 10 years of being an automotive media, why is it so "impulsive" this time, under the personality of being very calm about every new car?
After thinking about all the words, the most suitable one is to pay for the legend. After impulsive consumption, after half a year of ownership of the car, I felt that Ford Electric Horse had a lot of colored eggs in design details, driving texture and other details, which made me feel very surprised.
In fact, Mustang is a brand that is quite special. The feeling of spending money to buy it is not the same as the feeling of getting it after buying it. When you fall in love with this car, you will think it is not expensive, but it is emotional when driving, which can make people cool enough. This has led to the fact that an sports car, , has gained more than 10 million owners in the past 60 years since its birth.
So before Ford was officially imported, the price of a Mustang could be sold to more than 50 W. It is very expensive. When you bargain, people will say: Large displacement, rear-wheel drive, frameless double-door four-seater, pure imported sports car, do you think it will be cheap?
This also led to my first trip to North America 10 years ago. I rented a Mustang at the airport. The rent was very affordable. Then I drove a Pong around Rodeo Avenue and California Highway 1 for a few times. I felt that my aura and return rate were not inferior to Porsche 718. So whenever you drive in North America, you will rent a Mustang. When you drive a car full of legends, you will feel very high-spirited.
But there is one thing that unexpectedly, when they gave Mustang a second life, they directly chose the domestic Ford electric horse Mustang Mach-E, and with this legendary identity and kind price strategy, endorses , giving people a strong temptation.
So let’s go back to the point. Now that I bought a Ford electric horse, what other easter eggs can I harvest besides legend? Based on my experience for almost a year, I have summarized some personal experiences.
First of all, appearance is justice. The design of Ford Electric Horse is not like most traditional fuel car companies: I have to use a sense of subversiveness to enter new energy. Its approach is a bit like Porsche 's Taycan, giving the best elements of the inheritance to a new car, and then making it extremely beautiful.
So this car looks very unique and retains classics, such as very exaggerated muscle lines, wide body, large wheels, hatchback shape, three taillights... These elements form a very coordinated body proportion.
Looking back along the roof line, the unexpected easter egg is hidden here. The rear of the roof of cleverly adopts a layered design, but uses a black roof to visually weaken it. In other words, this car still looks like a muscle coupe-like SUV, but in essence it gives you plenty of head space. I have never seen this design before anyway. Even today, I still feel extremely impressed every time I use it.For example, you will see a slender hood with a shin line, a classic symmetrical layout in the middle of the driver, a knob shift with a good feel, and a running electric horse projected to the ground every time you walk into the car...
And this is just the beginning. In fact, this car shows Mustang's thoughts everywhere, and countless places in the car are engraved with the classic horse mark . You should know that usually this behavior can naturally reveal its expression on models with legendary stories, such as those Italian sports cars or special editions in the BBA. In addition to giving you emotional resonance, it also pays tribute to a classic.
I just didn’t expect that the entire domestic Ford Jockey Club would be surrounded by GT, and the posture was directly full, so that everyone would be confused about differentiation. However, overseas students could not enjoy this benefit.
Of course, the sense of superiority in form is just an entry ticket. The most important thing is how product strength is?
The driving experience over the past six months is unexpected and reasonable. This is also the place where I have no gap from blindly setting to picking up the car.
The driving logic of electric horse is very large-displacement oil-carrying. In other words, if it is not without exhaust pipes, most people would not think it is a tram. There are three driving modes of the whole car, called whispering, fascinating, and unruly. Although the name is a bit poetic and picturesque, it actually corresponds to the comfort, sports and sports of the fuel vehicle.
The comfortable mode in other trams usually uses medium-strong energy recovery to achieve energy saving, but the electricity immediately does not feel any sense of intervention in energy recovery. It starts decisively, accelerates smoothly, cruises smoothly, and even brakes are mechanically literate, which is completely consistent with the Mustang GT I drove before.
and the fascinating and unruly are equivalent to incremental movement mode. also adds simulated sound waves, but it is worth mentioning that the sound waves of electric horses do not go from the sci-fi brain-burning style. The Easter egg is that it simulates the roar of the 8-cylinder, which sounds very classic. At the same time, the LCD instrument creates a virtual extension of the speed for you.
especially in unrestrained mode, after closing the single pedal, every time the accelerator is removed, the car will have the dragging feeling created by the gearbox of a large-displacement sports car, just like the smell of the vehicle maintaining a high speed and unwilling to increase gears immediately. It is very addictive. I have been using it for most of the past six months, and I have recognized it even if the energy consumption is higher.
But you should know that the price of you trading this driving texture on a fuel Mustang is not the same as when you are on an electric machine. And I personally think that you don’t have to pursue front and rear dual motors and four-wheel drive as soon as you come. When a rear-wheel drive car with 300 horsepower, you can fully enjoy it to this level.
So you will find that the manufacturing idea of a Ford electric horse is the product of the Mustang brand inherited for 60 years. Although a lot of history has not happened in China, after having it, you will naturally realize what the continuation of the legend is.
Of course, as a legend, it is not the same as talking about faith in every item. In fact, you will find that Ford Motor is very radical in new technologies, such as the outrageous safety configuration, L2+ assisted driving Blue Smart Driver, and 15.5-inch smart large screen. It seems that the classic can last forever, but its personality is never conservative.
Actually, I don’t think there is any problem with the Ford electric carriage system at the moment. The only thing that may be the display interface is not that refreshing. Although Ford can simply implement it from OTA, this time I decided to iterate the inside and outside once.
First of all, no matter whether the new and old car owners are picking up the car or not, the hardware chip of the car will be replaced with 8155, and the system will be matched again, and the entire software part will be fully upgraded.
In fact, what I admire is not how much Ford will spend to arrange benefits for everyone this time, but the change in its behavior and philosophy after it chose to become a user company. When everyone raises doubts, I move. This may be the classic evolution.
And perhaps it is worth imagining that Ford Electric Horse is just the first step in the inheritance of Mustang's classic. The gossip is that the Ford Electric Horse will become more fun in the future, and more easter eggs may come overwhelmingly, which is worth looking forward to.
Finally, let me give you a summary and suggestions. You can buy and enjoy the Ford electric horses today. The benefits of first-wheeler owners have been very fulfilled. As for which one to choose? I think Ford has no idea about configuration. From the standpoint of my old car owner, each model is not bad in cost performance, and it can be exchanged for your desire to pursue driving.
