If the top range is 300 miles consuming 99 kWh, that works out to 3 miles per kWh, which is not good.

That means the 75 kWh version has an expected range of 227 miles, or less than Chevy Bolt's 259 mile range on 60 kWh.

Can you elaborate?

I've been in a new CX-3, and it kinda sucks. I've got a CX-5, and it's fine, but I wouldn't buy one with my money.

Mustang has had plenty of poor products in the past, so what is particularly ruinous by offering this?

The thing about brands is that they have to evolve or die. Just think about Buick and how it's only old people that seek out that brand. They are just now releasing commercials with kids feigning interest in them, but it might be too little, too late.

Branding is a balancing act of not offending the existing customers while attracting new ones.

I've got very little opinion on this until I read more about actual delivered examples, or test drive one myself. The basic specs sound good though, especially if they can deliver a base version for ~$35k.
