On a different subject. My Crosstrek was a pain in the ass to change the oil. Oil drain plug was put vertical I assume to get more ground clearance. Guaranteed to cover my arm and driveway with dirty hot oil. So I installed something called a Fumoto valve in the drain hole. Now I just attach a hose and run it straight into a pan. They make a variety of these for various cars so I can reco these.

Oh yeah... these are awesome. Put one on my wife's bimmer. (Number of reasons, mostly I was tired of putting a new damn crush washer on it every time, and it was also in a dumb orientation plus low ground clearance I do have to jack it up a few inches to get to it, but its much easier)

That’s my issues as well. Want to roll something like that off the line for making a dent in average MPG, that’s fine. Pick a different name plate tho.

Electric can be fast or slow, just like combustion.
Every supercar has gone or is going hybrid - and not for mpg. Best of both.
It's the minivan part that makes me laugh at it. Who wants a Minivan Mustang?

Your first two points are not, at all, my issue with the electric *ustang. Your final point that hits the nail on the head.

I’m not a Ford / GM / Mopar guy. I think that all the majors have some good and a lot of bad. This *inivan *ustang is, perhaps, the worst of the current bad. Perhaps only rivaled by the Pontiac Aztek in the history of “what the fuck were they smoking?”
