An EV Mustang is not really a Mustang. Maybe Ford should add engine noise to make them funner.

Already done and the fake vroom sounds dumb. Ostensibly the idea for a noise on the outside is laudable so people don't step out in front of a silent car. But it sounds dumb.

And they have the option to play the vroom noise on the inside for the driver experience, even vary the noise by how fast you're going. But again, it sounds dumb like a kid making car noises.

Had an opportunity to see a Mustang EV, a Jeep Wrangler hybrid, and a Tesla at our local Community College. They were hosting an EV Car show. We had a BMW i3 at the time and were curious about what was available.

I’m 6’7” and couldn’t get in the Mustang. Drove the Tesla and was impressed with the performance but the fit and finish left a lot to be desired. The Jeep had limited range.

We had more people looking at our BMW and ended up letting people drive it even though we weren’t officially part of the show.

There was also a Lightning pickup on display. It was locked up and the dealer said if you ordered one, it could take up to a year to get one. Drove through the local Ford dealers lot last week and since Ford announced the battery problem with the Lightning, there were two on the used car lot, each with less than 1,000 miles and a Mustang EV two vehicles over.

I think the EV market is over-hyper and as long as it can take up to 30-minutes to get a charge, will never catch on.

We sold our BMW to Carvanna for more than we paid for it and bought a ‘23 VW Tiguan. Ten minutes at the pump, 430 mile range, what’s not to like.
