Ford Dealers Can’t Move All The Mustang Mach-Es They Have For Sale

Apparently people don't want EV's. I'd post a picture of a Mach E but you don't want to see that abomination.

The new hotness that was EVs has seemed to start cooling off. Models that once had buyers beating down the door of the dealership have now seen sales numbers slide and discounts rise, just as inventories for many models have started to climb. And while this isn’t something that’s specific to just one automaker, some automakers are worse off than others with some models. Take Ford: Business Insider reports that the automaker has Mustang Mach-Es piling up on dealer lots.
A quick new car search shows that there are over 9,000 brand new Ford Mustang Mach-Es for sale across the country. While that’s a good thing for prospective buyers who have been dealing with inventory shortages the last couple of years, that’s all changed now. Buyers aren’t showing up. Data from analytics firm Cloud Theory shows that in Q2, 2022 Mustang Mach-Es had turn rates — a fancy term that just means how quickly a vehicle goes from in the dealers inventory to being sold — within 30 days that sat at over 86 percent. By the same time in 2023, that number had dropped nearly 59 percent. This can be backed up by both dealer listings Ford sales stats as well.
Out of the 9,092 Mustang Mach-Es for sale across the country as of this writing, 61.5 percent (5,596) of those had been sitting for over 30 days. Mach-E sales were down 21 percent in Q2 of 2023 compared to the same time in 2022. But speaking to Insider, Ford’s head of U.S. sales analysis paints a more positive picture.

Didn't they have a similar issue with the Lightning as well?
ETA: Yup, sure did

Ford naming a shitball RAV4 knockoff after a mustang is the stupidest fricking thing since Bud Light made tranny cans

Well it is kind of a stupid looking vehicle.

Is it possible that people that wanted EVs already have them and they overestimated the demand?
Or they are just too expensive?
There is a reason.

I'm probably in the minority but I've always liked how these looked, especially compared to other brands SUV/Crossover EV offerings. Especially compared to the Model X.
I'm not buying any of them but I like the Ford styling.

I dont think automakers want to produce EVs
But EVs get their average MPG per vehicle produced up to meet ridiculous standards set by the feds so they can keep making trucks and SUVs that actually sell

Why can't they just make it look like a sleeker mustang instead of an anal plug? I don't get why companies make EVs look stupid.

People who love the Mustang, don’t want a car that you’d expect the back to be covered with “coexist” and various leftist themed political bumper stickers. I mean, just look at this abomination…
… the look is closer to Subaru than Mustang.

I think I may have seen two on the road since they started selling them.

Nobody wants a stupid looking hatchback "Mustang"? I'm shocked.
The dumbest move ever was calling this a Mustang. They could've released it as its own thing and maybe it would've been more successful. But calling it a Mustang is a disgrace.

Where everyone fricked up, is that they rushed to copy Tesla...and did it with all the creativity, ingenuity, and thoroughness of their normal fleet...which is shite. When all is said and done, all EV's will be Tesla & Asian auto makers. The Big Old American automakers need to pivot. If they were smart...they'd specialize in Hybrid models. But...they aren't smart. They are panicky and stupid. They will continue to run head first into a wall trying to go full EV. And the taxpayers will have to bail them out...AGAIN.

Ford is also charging more for over vehicles to subsidize their EV losses. It’s a bad move to want $65k for a bare bones F-150 that was sitting on a lot for 2 years waiting for chips

Maybe, just maybe, these big car companies are going to realize that consumers don’t see the practicality in EV’s. Maybe they’ll realize that people with common sense want to stick with ICE’s.
This is another situation where the Government is overstepping their boundaries and screwing up life for the regular masses by making all these unattainable fuel mileage regulations.

This can't be true at all. I have only seen maybe 2 on the road ever, and made a comment about it on this very site about how these look like shite and are not selling. I was immediately jumped on by some idiot lib declaring them a phenomenal auto with incredible sales.
They look like an embarrassment to the original Mustang.

Is this the EV where there's the option to pump engine noises into the cabin so you feel like you're driving a real car?

I got my first rebate offer from Ford in the mail yesterday, since the pandemic. Up to $2,000 off a new vehicle. I was a bit stunned considering the vacant lots and price gouging that I've seen since covid

EV's aren't practical for most people. The Tesla fanclub will argue you to death but it's the truth.
