I didn’t know who he was either until I saw him on Hot Ones and was curious enough to watch some his stuff.

pretty interesting and intelligent tech reviewer

surprised, he's probably the biggest tech reviewer out there. must be worth tens of millions if not more. he's got great style, great presentation, not too techie, great video production, not weird like so many tech and car reviewers.

the channel on the video above is auto focus, a newer channel of his focusing in, obviously, cars

his main huge channel...

Good review, I occasionally watch his reviews, which he does for products like phones etc as well. I know several people who own a Mach-E, and they really love it. Ford built this vehicle as a serious offering, not just a vanity project. It does kind of annoy me that many EV's have Start buttons....something that is totally not necessary. The other day I swapped cars with my daughter, and when I got to work I forgot to "turn off" her Bolt, and when I got out it started to make this annoying sound

Probably paid promo as these things are collecting dust at dealer along with all other EVs from MB, BMW etc

My Ford dealer calls me every week to drive one…..

Did Ford and others do focus groups and found out people want a start button? I agree with you it makes no sense it shouldn't be there. You put the car in park and walk away the car knows you're not driving anymore.

I think it's just a crutch that makes people more comfortable, like having a shift lever for putting the car in gear when everything is electronically controlled. Completely unnecessary. My wife still gets nervous driving the Polestar or the Y simply because it doesn't have a start button...Lol!

The Mach-E iseems to have lost its sales luster. The Tesla price cuts are squeezing the other EVs. Kia outsold Ford in Q2, right?

I’ve learned that sometimes people don’t know what they want. If Henry Ford polled the public back in the late 1800’s they would have asked for a faster horse😂.

Not sure if it's red car syndrome but I think the Mach-e sales might be picking up steam.

Saw three brand spanking new and shiny Machs this week.
