    Sandy Munro and Mach-E

    I found this short video of Sandy Munro looking mostly at the rear suspension of the Mach-E interesting. Mostly I found myself thinking how exposed all that structure, especially the battery, is to any old FOD lying on the road and thrown up by a wheel passing over it. It makes me appreciate...
