Jason Fenske from Engineering Explained has had a rough time settling on his electric daily driver. The YouTuber was plenty happy with his early Tesla Model 3 Performance for years. But when Elon Musk's government cuts affected his family, he swore off the brand. Given his affinity for excellent engineering, he landed on a Lucid Air, one of the most sophisticated EVs on sale. But that ended in disaster, too, as Fenske explained on the Plugged-In Podcast.
Fenske said in his latest video that he bought a 2022 Mustang Mach-E Performance a few months ago. But it certainly wasn't his first choice.
He originally wanted to wait for a Rivian R2, after falling for it on the first drive. His delivery window wasn't until the end of the year, though, and he needed a daily driver. Lucid originally offered a Gravity as a long-term loan to bridge the gap, yet even the free car proved to be more trouble than it was worth. He then tried to land a Genesis GV60 in the highlighter yellow color. None of it worked.
So he got the Mach-E. He chose a Cyber Orange Metallic model with the Performance Pack, which came with 480 hp and 260 miles of EPA range. Equally important, it came with physical controls for core functions like the gear selector, windshield wipers, lights, and volume, all things he had missed in his Tesla and Lucid. Best of all, his gets the magnetic suspension system, which I can confirm is excellent.
