The Ford Mustang Mach E has launched!

[Domenick]

Ford launched its all-electric crossover -- the Mustang Mach E -- tonight and wow. I think they've done a pretty good job here. There's a ton of info to read and consider, so I'm going to link up a bunch of the stories our crews at InsideEVs and Motor1 put out tonight in the next post on the thread.

First, a couple pics.

Is Ford "building in" regular service visits/charges? Because technically, aside from brakes and tire rotation, there should be none. Thanks

Haven't heard about maintenance scheduling yet. Most new cars have minimal service requirements now -- long oil change (etc) intervals.

No doubt they'll try to get owners in on occaision, though.

Because according to NADA 44% of dealer profits come from service. Which one suspects is behind the anti-Tesla laws in Connecticut and Texas. An example:

So, it seems, this addiction is going to be hard to break, especially when municipalities support the drug.
