Tesla Shrugs Off Ford's New Mustang Mach-E Utility Vehicle

The new horse about to enter the stable of electric-vehicle offerings doesn't seem to be fazing Tesla (TSLA - Get Report) investors - or Tesla CEO Elon Musk, for that matter. Ford (F - Get Report) on Sunday unveiled its new, all-electric, Mustang Mach-E SUV challenger to Tesla ahead of the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show. 11.5 billion push to develop electric and hybrid models by 2022 - and to take aim at Tesla. The Mustang Mach-E GT Performance models will get an estimated 459 horsepower, Ford claims, from two electric motors, one powering the back wheels, the other powering the front. They should be able to go from zero to 60 mph in roughly 3.5 seconds. Zero gas. Zero emissions. Tesla's Model 3 produces 450 horsepower and goes from zero to 60 mph in roughly 4.9 seconds, roughly the same as a Ferrari Testarosa though the slowest model in its lineup. Meant from the start to be a Tesla challenger, the location of Ford's reveal was an airplane hangar just a short walk from the main offices of Tesla CEO Elon Musk's SpaceX operations in Hawthorne, Calif. Musk often uses SpaceX facilities to unveil Tesla's new models, and has scheduled the debut of his electric pickup truck for somewhere in Los Angeles on Thursday. The Mach-E, which will be built in Mexico, will be available next fall, Ford said. The GT Performance Edition will be available in spring 2021. Those in Europe and the U.S. 500 deposit immediately, however. For his part, Musk himself gave the Mach E a thumbs up, giving Ford a big congrats on the reveal, and noting that other carmakers will be encouraged to also enter the EV space. Congratulations on the Mach E! Sustainable/electric cars are the future! Excited to see this announcement from Ford, as it will encourage other carmakers to go electric too.

Thank you for partnering with MHS to support our students鈥?well being! What could be better than big, glitzy song and dance numbers that are the toast of Broadway-style musicals? How about big, glitzy song and dance numbers鈥ith nuns? The current offering at Mundelein High School, Sister Act, will have plenty of both. The show runs April 25 and 26 at 7:30 p.m. April 27 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. 7 for students, seniors and kids. Tickets can also be purchased at the door 45 minutes prior to curtain for each performance. Written by Alan Menken, Glenn Slater and Bill and Cheri Steinkellner, and based on the 1992 film of the same name, Sister Act tells the story of aspiring disco diva Deloris Van Cartier. 鈥淭his musical has everything you want in a musical comedy,鈥?said Jonathan Meier, the director of Sister Act. 鈥淭here are huge production numbers, chase scenes, and beautiful love songs that everyone will enjoy.

But at its core, Sister Act is a very heartfelt story of people discovering who they are, and who they can become, and how to accept others for who they are.鈥?Senior Rachel Larson portrays Delores. 鈥淚 knew that this was a very fun show when it was announced last year that this would be our musical,鈥?stated Larson.
