1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,359 oh man I have been wanting to try one of these so bad for so long Ford mcky we 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:10,320 freaking got one Ford's first full electric vehicle and you know a lot of 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:14,679 people have been complaining like is it a Mustang is it not a Mustang it doesn't 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,920 make V8 noises or like plow into crowds of people but at the same time just look 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:21,600 at it I don't know if it like really translates the video here but I think it 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,320 looks sick like coming around the front here compared to like a Tesla this is 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:31,039 just so much more prominent and like when you're in the vehicle looking out 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,719 it just feels like muscle car under the 9 00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:37,640 hood I guess you get what's sort of a frunk but it's like a cheater frunk Ford 10 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:42,160 says it so you can like put your drinks in there and throw in a bunch of ice and 11 00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:45,399 I guess go to a frunk party but at the same time it feels kind of just like a 12 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,440 cop out to me because like I think that they just wanted to Safe cost not 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,399 waterproofing this and making it a proper frunk moving around to the side 14 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:56,320 one thing you might notice doesn't exist are door handles on the driver's side I 15 00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:01,640 kind of like it like the button works really well and then you can just pull it out with this little handle you also 16 00:00:59,519 --> 00:01:05,960 get the nice keypad so that you can punch in like your code to get in I 17 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:09,200 personally really appreciate that what I'm not a huge fan of is that on the 18 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:13,479 back you just get a button and then you kind of have to like pull it out not a 19 00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:18,680 huge problem in most situations probably but being from the East Coast where like 20 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,079 lots of snow and rain happens I would be 21 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:24,920 pretty concerned that you might just get locked out of your back if you know you 22 00:01:23,479 --> 00:01:28,880 can't really pull on it when it freezes shut the overall look from the side 23 00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:33,680 though I think is awesome like it has this real kind of almost shooting brake 24 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:39,040 style look around to the back you know you get the good old tailgate with what 25 00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:44,680 is loads of storage in my opinion we don't have like boxes to Chuck in and 26 00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:48,320 then down below there's just your charger yeah it's kind of slow opening 27 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,439 and closing like I don't care too much about the 28 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,719 closing but I open my tailgate way faster than that so this is adjusted for 29 00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:02,000 Brandon actually it's further back than I was and I'm like 6 ft keeps of space 30 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:06,840 especially off this kind of encroaches so you probably don't want like three 31 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:10,599 adults back here but at the same time what car do you want three adults in the 32 00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:14,040 back in the middle we get two cup holders although it looks like yeah 33 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:18,840 there's no ski hatch so you can't put stuff right through the middle also down 34 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:23,400 below we get type c and type A for charging got a little spot to stash your 35 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:28,040 stuff oh oh oh that's a big deal right there I was going to complain about how 36 00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:31,680 the headrest was when I was up front but it turns out that you can just adjust it 37 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:35,519 which is sick you don't get a lot of buttons around but you get enough that 38 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:39,200 it's it's just nice there's this nice little handle for getting out and it 39 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:45,800 works really good and it's super satisfying I think it's made out of aluminum with a bit of plastic you also 40 00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:48,040 get you know your lock unlock and your 41 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:52,920 driving positions this is really comfortable it's like lightly bolstered 42 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:56,120 on the sides but in a way that holds me in really well you can kind of shake 43 00:02:54,599 --> 00:03:01,080 around like this and you just feel supported and they're comfy in a way 44 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:05,280 that I find the Tesla ones just aren't as for the steering wheel this leather 45 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,799 that's wrapped around it is fantastic like it's so plush and I really like 46 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:14,120 pushing into it my only complaint though is that this plastic bit down here when 47 00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:18,400 you're kind of like spinning the wheel around I find that my hand kind of gets 48 00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:22,519 caught on it as for controls though I think they're great you push up and down 49 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:26,200 for like volume or setting your cruise control and the rest is all just really 50 00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:29,519 simple one complaint that I'll get more into once we get the infotainment though 51 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:33,920 there's a button right here for your assist but it only goes to the Ford 52 00:03:31,959 --> 00:03:38,080 assistant and not to your like Android auto assistant like it does in the Ford 53 00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:41,760 that I own and this is just so much worse cuz Ford assistant is just 54 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:46,840 absolutely useless so now we know this works well as a normal car but does the 55 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:51,000 tech hold up honestly a lot of things about it that are pretty annoying like 56 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:55,840 there's no automatic return to Android auto button and there's no like home 57 00:03:53,480 --> 00:04:01,040 screen or return to Ford Sync now the biggest thing this does have over a 58 00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:03,360 Tesla is the Android auto or apple 59 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:07,280 carplay integration it's just it's the best way to interface with your phone 60 00:04:05,079 --> 00:04:10,720 it's wireless so I can just you know Chuck this in my pocket and it works or 61 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,079 I can chck it down here and there's wireless charging which also seems to 62 00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:22,960 just work great now what Android auto gives me is super easy access to like 63 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:25,560 Spotify or in my case like pocketcasts 64 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:29,080 you can just come in here boom your podcasts are there like if we come over 65 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:34,560 to Spotify and we want to play crab Brave we just just click on the thing 66 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:37,440 and they like play crab Rave crab Rave 67 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,919 by noise storm sure playing on Spotify it just does it it's 68 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:47,240 fantastic what also is pretty fantastic are the speakers I'm not like completely 69 00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:51,560 sold on them they're banging oal sin and like up here there's like a soundbar 70 00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:55,800 that goes all the way across the dash I don't know they're kind of Muddy so I'll 71 00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:01,360 show you what I did here I had to take the mid-range and just crank it right 72 00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:04,560 down to get any thing that sounded good out of these but once I did this and had 73 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,400 the separation between the base and the treble in the mid-range they're pretty 74 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,639 great hey Brandon says maybe a little bit better than the speakers in the 75 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:23,199 model X don't expect it to blow you away but at the same time you'll be happy now 76 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:28,639 for the drive modes you get whisper which I think is a comfort mode you also 77 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:33,280 get engaged it's like sport but not very sporty and then you get unbridled for 78 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,080 when you really want to give her now it is kind of cool I need to turn it on for 79 00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:41,160 it to show up but when you change the modes the thing around the speedometer 80 00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:45,280 changes depending on which mode you're in and it's just a really nice little 81 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:49,560 touch what we're going to show you right now this is maybe one of the coolest 82 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:56,280 things now this is available in like a fair few cars now but the 360 around the 83 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,639 car is just so awesome we parked in a 84 00:05:56,280 --> 00:06:01,160 parking spot earlier when we were setting up for this and Brandon had had 85 00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:06,639 just taken all of his camera stuff and put it beside the car and then we like drove out and drove back in and it was 86 00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:10,120 pretty much as small of a parking spot including things that you just can't see 87 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,560 at all and using this camera we're able to park it without a problem it's 88 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:18,759 freaking sick like I would say like compared to the Tesla this is worse but 89 00:06:16,039 --> 00:06:22,800 the Tesla does not have the 360 not in Brandon's at least really excited to 90 00:06:20,599 --> 00:06:27,479 finally actually hit the gas in this thing you kind of do want to normally 91 00:06:24,599 --> 00:06:32,000 leave it not in the unbridled mode I found that like coming on and off the 92 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:35,160 gas and hitting the brakes was just a little bit on the jerky side in there 93 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,680 like it's all fine and good to improve the throttle response but at the same 94 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,919 time I want to be able to drive smoothly while I do it what's coming here driving 95 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,360 modes we're in whisper now the drivetrain feels great but I'm pretty 96 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:57,120 disappointed in the suspension like we're coming up on some speed bumps right here and it's just 97 00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:59,599 oh that's like 12 km hour and it is not 98 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:05,720 comfortable at all so like compared to something like the model y it is very 99 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:11,560 similar but at the same time I did not really enjoy the driving dynamics of the 100 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:13,199 model y so there you go I guess this 101 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:18,240 thing's like $74,000 Canadian for that amount of 102 00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:22,960 money I really feel like that you should have adjustable dampers now we do have 103 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:29,879 it unbridled mode we're going into a little tight little corner here oh wow 104 00:07:28,039 --> 00:07:35,960 it kind of feels like it gives up a bit early it feels like that after about 100 105 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:40,960 km per hour you're really not getting that electric car push whereas in like 106 00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:45,960 the model y performance especially that thing just Rockets you and just keeps on 107 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:50,960 going past like 150 now adjustable dampers and more power will be available 108 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:55,520 in the GT version of this which is coming out I think next year but again 109 00:07:53,599 --> 00:08:02,000 this is already like $74,000 Canadian I don't want to be 110 00:07:58,039 --> 00:08:06,199 spending $100,000 on a car that is very 111 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:10,919 similar to what like a $70,000 model y 112 00:08:06,199 --> 00:08:10,919 in the most go mode and hit 113 00:08:12,039 --> 00:08:19,080 it that's pretty good but uh it has a 114 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:22,440 Mustang badge though like that's very 115 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:25,360 similar to like my Fiesta ST this is a 0 116 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:29,560 to 60 of 6.1 seconds yeah it feels less immediate than a Tesla this is 117 00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:34,560 definitely fast enough for you to drive like a bit of a jerk though that is for 118 00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:36,519 sure the steering input's good but I'm 119 00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:40,959 not getting a whole lot back like it's the same problem that I had with the 120 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:44,399 Tesla where like when I'm turning the 121 00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:46,399 steering wheel it goes where I point it 122 00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:50,240 but I'm not like the chassis isn't telling me anything the steering wheel 123 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:54,200 isn't telling me anything I'm just trusting that everything's fine and like 124 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:59,760 we're not on a track so it's not like it really matters but there is definitely a 125 00:08:56,519 --> 00:09:03,360 level of disengagement from the drive 126 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,800 compared to something like my Fiesta so 127 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,240 Brandon says that he really likes one pedal my problem with one pedal is that 128 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:14,720 I find that I don't like just keeping my foot on the gas so much okay cruise 129 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:18,560 controls set Lane keeping system 130 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:21,640 on so when you have the Lan keep and 131 00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:23,519 cruise on your speedometer goes over to 132 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:30,480 the side instead of saying staying in the center here's a big challenge for 133 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:32,000 the Lan keep assist I'm going to just oh 134 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:38,279 we're going into a corner will it keep me oh yep that 135 00:09:36,839 --> 00:09:43,000 worked really well now there's a truck in front oh the adaptive cruise does not 136 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:47,560 seem great although at the same time they kind of cut us off now it seems to 137 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:53,959 be just keeping up these are some pretty complex turns here and the lane keep 138 00:09:50,959 --> 00:09:55,959 seems great oh that's a bit scary that 139 00:09:53,959 --> 00:09:59,880 was a touch scary but at the same time like it might have been fine I just 140 00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:05,399 don't want to find it in a situation where falling off bridge 141 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:07,640 is a potential I would say this is very 142 00:10:05,399 --> 00:10:12,240 comparable to autopilot in my little bit of using it at least yeah I have no clue 143 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:16,959 how much I trust it either like that was sketchy Oh that's oh yep the bed there 144 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:21,640 so there we were just coming up to an intersection so it was a slight corner 145 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:25,880 and then like you know how there's left turn and the yellow line kind of goes 146 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:30,079 like that it decided that it wanted to follow that 147 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:34,440 and it was not pleasant according to Brandon autopilot feels 148 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:39,320 like it's still more refined I would say as far as for just driving on the 149 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:45,360 highway this would be really good I want this in my car so to be clear this is 150 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:47,519 just First Impressions I don't want to 151 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,519 finally compare this to like the model y because I just don't have enough time in 152 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:55,200 this I need to spend like a week or maybe even more getting to know how this 153 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:59,519 actually feels to drive and what annoyances you just completely forget 154 00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:05,200 about after a week and what stuff is still annoying long term now this is our 155 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:07,200 first car review on ShortCircuit so 156 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:10,959 just plop down in the comments like for one if you liked it and how we can make 157 00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:16,519 it better in the future and also what other cars you want us to cover so yeah 158 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:20,079 I think that's about it honestly this thing's pretty freaking sick and I can't 159 00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:25,240 wait for more electric cars to come out that oh oh wait did you hear that 160 00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:31,880 Brandon there's a V8 noise in there I didn't hear that before Oh that's fake 161 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:36,440 but I like it hit like get subscribed and just have a fantastic day so long
