An SUV outselling a sports car isn’t all that surprising, to be honest.
New cars are expensive AF nowadays, it’s a lot harder for people to justify spending that much money on an (arguably impractical, but definitely fun) 2-door coupe, versus a car capable of lugging around a bunch of people/cargo - while still being pretty quick in a straight line.
As an aside, I do hope that recently announced Slate truck takes off - and finally puts some downward pressure on the price of new vehicles.

Pretty quick? 0-60 in 3.3 and an 11.8 quarter mile is faster than the Dark Horse halo model GT.
all the modern mustangs are kinda shit anyway
The electronic hand brake abomination was the shark jump for me
I’ve got mine.
How is it? Best aspects, worst aspects, anything unexpected?
The size, performance and comfort are all great. The tech works well enough for me. I wouldn’t call it snappy but it is acceptable. Visibility is good, the rear hatch opens very quickly, seats are comfortable though I miss my cooled/ventilated seats.
The little things I’d change-
The transition from regen to friction brakes at 3mph is not always smooth depending on your driving style. 1 pedal mode makes it seamless but once you feel it, you can’t un-feel it.
Dial gear selector is meh, but way better than the stalk- changed for 2025
Published range is at 55 or 60 mph. I get 2.5 mi/kwh on the interstate keeping up with traffic. In town of course you can double that, but it’s a tiny fraction of my consumption. Not actually an issue in my use case but worth mentioning that the published 280 miles is really 230. And you won’t find a charger at exactly 0% so plan on 200.
No mechanical key for when the 12v dies. Goofy procedure for when it does.
Pointlessly complicated rear door latch.
