I wonder how many EV naysayers on here are going to suddenly think EV's are the best thing since sliced bread because it has "Ford" in it's name?

I can assure you that it won't be me. Most of the vehicles that I have owned have been Ford and I have been a fan of the Mustang ever since it came out. I have a 66 Fastback Mustang and a 69 Cougar convertible in my garage. If they go to all electric vehicles I'd rather see the Mustang name die rather than be electric. If it has an electric motor in it it's not a Mustang to me and I bet a lot of other diehard Mustang fans will feel the same way.

Not disrespecting your opinion and you are certainly not the only one, but out of curiosity what is it about electrification that turns you off. An E mustang has better performance, handling, reliability, lower maintenance, better ergonomics, better safety etc than an ICE equivalent. Again, no disrespect here. Just curious on people’s perceptions.

Cheers.

Where did he say he was against electric vehicles. Just not reuse a name that has a specific meaning to fans. Many equate the mustang with the visceral feel and sound of a v8 engine. If moving to a new era treat it as such.

I have no idea if he is against EV’s. Are you confusing me with another poster. I’m asking what aspects of having a mustang an EV turn him off. I don’t really care but am curious. Maybe it’s the sound or smell. Who knows. Nothing wrong with that. Just curious.
