    Most would consider the Mach-E to be the first real attempt but whatever. And secondly, you clearly didn’t read my comment because I said I have the 4th year of the car, not a 4 year old car. My car is just shy of 2 years old. I clearly know more about my car than you as I drive it every day and I hang out on the Mach-E forums so I know what’s going on daily in the news. I don’t really care about Fords recalls as a whole as vast majority are for ICE vehicles and have nothing to do with their EVs. My car has had 2 recalls since I’ve owned it and 1 of them was an OTA update (that did brick the car that I complained about originally).

      I assumed by fourth year of the car you meant model year not that the car was 4 years old.
