Maybe, but it doesn't even look like a Mustang, it's a completely different car that LOOKS like a tree hugger egg car with a Mustang label on it. GEEZ haven't these numbskull car companies learned ANYTHING from Tesla???

If I do go "electric," it will be either a "pick up" truck or a full sized SUV (i.e. Toyota 4-Runner or Sequoia sized). Having had all kinds of issues with these "rental" cars I've been renting lately (all very low to the ground), I know I need a vehicle with some height so I don't have problems getting in and out of it, as well as being able to see over the front of it.

I disagree. I think it looks sharp and it has a lot of the Mustang elements built into it. I also think it's sharper than the Tesla SUV. I do like the Roadster, though. I'm also not buying it because of the name. If I wanted a sports car, which I'm playing with the thought of, I will look into a GT350, GT500 or maybe the new Corvette. Leaning towards the new vette.
While I don't believe or prescribe to the belief that electric will save the world, I do lie and think the technology is cool.

Whatever floats your boat .
I just don't understand why they didn't just use the actual Mustang instead of "Mustang elements." If I wanted an electric Mustang, I'd want an electric MUSTANG, not some midget Mustang-ish car.

And you may see it as I think every car manufacturer will eventually offer every model in electric. In one way it's their effort to electrify everything.
On a related note, my brother-in-law who works for the FBI stated that they will eventually convert their fleet to all electric. Supposedly a Biden administration directive.

Probably the same reason why Coca Cola went with "New Coke" even though it ended up a disaster and they had to save face by inventing "Coke Classic."

I contemplated buying an all electric vehicle as these gas prices keep climbing. One problem tho, I have no way to charge it conveniently (home or work). Blah

Part of the reason why I'm considering Solar. I'm pretty sure I'll go with Solar, but I just have to review all the options and what it means in re: how much will go on my "reverse mortgage."

I’m in a condo so, no charging ports or even solar availability.

Does it have a garage or dedicated outdoor parking area? Would not the Condo assoc. offer to get some charging stations for that monthly assessment?!? Sometimes, I feel like I don't with my HOA.
