In the realm of electric cars, The Smoking Tire bids farewell to their trusty Ford Mach E after three years of faithful service. Despite some initial hiccups typical of early units, the Mach E has proven itself as a reliable companion, clocking in 29,000 miles without a hitch. The team praises its build quality, noting its resilience against wear and tear, especially when compared to aging Tesla models. As the lease comes to an end, the channel announces the revival of their merch store, offering limited edition items for fans to grab.
A notable upgrade made six months ago was swapping out the original Michelin tires for Vredestein's high-traction all-season tires, a decision that paid off during a wet winter. This change didn't affect the car's performance or range, showcasing the Mach E's adaptability. Despite constant use for various purposes like camera tracking and cargo hauling, the Mach E remains in top-notch condition, free from any squeaks or rattles. The practicality of the car shines through, although the frunk remains untouched, a quirky anecdote in an otherwise flawless ownership experience.
Opting to lease rather than purchase the Mach E proved to be a wise financial move, offering a predictable monthly payment and a lower buyout value than current market prices. The team expresses their satisfaction with the Mach E and confidently recommends it, even in the face of increasing competition in the electric car market. With the lease coming to an end, the channel hints at an upcoming review of the new Macan Electric in September, promising more thrilling content for viewers to look forward to.
