Mixed to positive sentiment overall.
Viewed as diluting heritage, not a "real Mustang," and an automotive equivalent of "stolen valor.".
Factory navigation described as essentially worthless, lacking turn-by-turn directions and street names, leading owners to default to Apple CarPlay/Android Auto; clunky user interface.
Capped at 150 kW, significantly slower than some competitors (e.g., Tesla at 250 kW), resulting in longer charging stops on road trips.
Noted in reviews as a disappointment for the class.
Mentioned in reviews as not matching segment expectations.
