A Mustang Mach-E owner claims his son was trapped inside the EV when the doors wouldn’t open. When AAA couldn’t open the doors by jumping the battery the owner smashed a window to get in. The Mach-E doesn’t have conventional door handles or an emergency key slot visible on the outside.

Both AAA and Ford Roadside Assistance were reportedly unable to open the vehicle, with the owner saying he had to break a window to extract his child.

The times appear to be changing, though. Ford released its 2024 sales details, and the Mustang had a rough year. Deliveries were down 9.5 percent year-over-year. Meanwhile, the Mustang Mach-E EV had the best sales since the vehicle’s debut.

Ford announced that sales of its electric Mustang Mach-E surpassed those of its traditional Mustang in 2024 – a notable milestone for the Detroit automaker in a challenging EV market.

The electric Mustang crossover surpassed its gas-powered namesake in 2024, reflecting shifting consumer preferences and a new era for Ford’s pony car.

E, an electric SUV, has outsold the classic combustion Mustang, marking a significant shift in the industry. With a 26.9% sales increase in 2024, the Mach-E is leading the charge towards electromobility.

The Ford Mustang had the worst sales performance in its history in 2024, with only 44,003 units sold, marking a 9.5% drop compared to the previous year.
