when I used to by Fords in the past I would have had a tranny go by now, A/C repairs etc. etc.
Well, EV's don't have traditional transmission, and far fewer moving parts, but re: AC repairs, our Tesla had a cabin heater core replaced 4 years ago under warranty, fine since, but the AC in EV's is transitioning to heat pumps and integrated systems ala "octo valve" design Tesla is using in the refreshed Model 3 and new Model Y which reduce the number of parts and systems used in maintaining battery/cabin conditioning to a handful with one electric motor (the "pump" in heat pump) for circulation of coolant, and one for the cabin fan. Electric motors are pretty reliable. More reliable than the heater core design used in earlier EV's like my 2013 Tesla S and 2017 Smart.
The point is well made, if Ford focuses on quality (job one right?!), then the Mach-e will be a home run, it's priced well for the capability and market segment, and marketed as a Mustang, so a more premium sub-brand in the Ford stable.
