Would you rather it be called a Fusion II? It's all about the marketing.

Another EV that nobody will buy.
This will do as well as the Chevy Bolt/Volt.
Overpriced compact CUV thats double the price of an Escape and same price as Model Y. Recipe for instant failure - how do these car execs convince themselves these are good ideas?

Tesla = EVs
EVs are a small niche and general public knows the Tesla brand which is synonymous for the Best EVs.
Model Y will be better in every way and will cost less.
99% of ppl will rather drive a Tesla than a Ford, Ford is aware of this hence the Mustang name. It’s not going to help though.

Ford Mustang Mach-E timing details revealed
Ford will begin converting reservations to orders in the spring
The Ford Mustang Mach-E electric crossover was one of the biggest hype magnets of the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, but with deliveries still a year away, would-be buyers have been waiting patiently (or perhaps not-so-patiently) for any production and delivery updates. Thanks to a Ford dealer in Colorado, we have our first glimpse of what's in store for Ford'searly adopters.
A screenshot shared with members of MachEforum.com (and spotted by Motor1.com) reveals Ford's plans for converting online reservations into firm orders and, eventually, customer deliveries, promising monthly email updates to buyers throughout the process.
Starting in the spring, dealers will reach out to customers who have placed online reservations, at which point they can confirm trim configurations and pricing. The dealer will then place a final order and refund the $500 reservation deposit.
By summer, Ford will begin finalizing its production schedule, and dealers will reach out to customers to discuss charging options as the assembly line gears up. By fall, production should be underway, and dealers will begin scheduling test drives and finalizing sales.
Ford still has no concrete timeline for the availability of the range-topping GT model. The shared image states explicitly that GT orders will be placed "at a later date," and the company has previously acknowledged that we probably won't see that variant until spring, 2021—when the first deliveries of lower-trim models are slated to begin.
This information will be of particular interest to those holding reservations for the Mach-E First Edition which sold out in a matter of days after the new crossover's announcement. As the trim name implies, it not only inaugurates the Mach-E model, but also indicates its production priority; these will receive dealer attention before reservations for other trims.

Ford Mustang Mach-E orders open — and performance specs get a boost
All versions see more horsepower and torque
Ford says it’s nudging performance specs upward on the Mustang Mach-E after more testing and development work, as it opens order books for its highly anticipated all-electric crossover.
The upgraded specs apply to both standard- and extended-range models in both rear- and all-wheel drive. They also follow recent news about hands-free driving capabilities and fast-charging range improvements.
ADVERTISEMENTThe biggest gain comes with the extended-range AWD versions, which get bumped up to 346 horsepower/258 kilowatts and 428 pound-feet of torque, from previous estimates of 332 hp/240 kw and 417 lb-ft, with a 0-60 mph time in the mid-5-second range.
In rear-wheel drive, the extended-range models see output increase to 290 hp/216 kw and 317 lb-ft, which are increases of 8 hp/6 kw and 11 lb-ft from previous estimates.
Standard-range versions of the Mach-E will deliver an estimated 230 miles of driving range, Ford says. (The EPA has yet to announce official ratings). In both AWD and RWD variants, output increases to 266 hp/198 kw, up by 11 hp/8 kw. AWD versions will deliver 428 lb-ft of torque, up by 11 lb-ft, while RWD versions are now rated at 317 lb-ft, up from 306 lb-ft before.
Ford’s new Mustang Mach-E configurator is open to the Select, Premium and California Route 1 trim levels, while the range-topping GT is still reservation-only and won’t be available until late summer 2021. It will be available only in extended-range and all-wheel drive, with a target range of 250 miles and a 0-60 time in the mid-3 seconds.
Prices start at $44,995 for the Select model in standard-range RWD, including the $1,100 destination fee but not including the $7,500 federal EV tax credit.
Ford’s online configurator appears to be limited for now in other ways as well. For example, there’s still no ability to order the CoPilot 360 Active 2.0 Prep Package that enables hands-free highway driving. We tricked out a California Route 1 model in extended-range RWD, which targets 300 miles in driving range and a mid-6-second 0-60 mph time, with a $240 interior protection package, the only one offered so far, and received an all-inclusive dealer sale price of $50,233.40.
Deliveries are expected to start near year's end.
