When I type anything in their demo, it replies "I'm sorry but I can't I'm sorry but I can't..."

The swiping mechanic is super smooth! I often find that website based swiping UIs are either too sensitive, not sensitive enough, or have weird acceleration. Not the case here.

I don't think anyone buys a Mustang due to the brand...I mean it's a Ford.

Mustangs have a 4 second 0-60 and great handling (if you know what you're doing, they rival cars 3X the price on the famous tracks of the world).

Don't really get the comparison to a used EV - I guess you're right about straight line speed, but a used EV is pretty sketchy due to battery longevity and crappy reliability from the brands that can actually achieve this straight line speed.

For someone buying new, there isn't much left with comparable performance, considering the camaro no longer exists. Maybe the Nissan Z or the Supra, but those have had crazy dealer markups. If you know such a car in the 40-60k range, I'd love to know!

It's interesting because the EV was made fun of relentlessly when it came out, with Ford fans saying that it would be a flop.

Also, I'm biased, but I have to disagree with the "impractical vanity car" part. The current Mustang coupe is super fun to drive and affordable - the trunk is huge and it is quite comfortable for two people (even 3). The coyote v8 is a marvel of engineering - 460 HP with instant torque, but you can get 29 MPG with it on the highway (if you drive calmly). The turbo 4 is even more efficient.

To get anything comparable from European or Japanese coupes, you have to pay twice as much.

I apologize for the rambling.

I would absolutely love a low tech electric car - like an Elantra hatchback EV. I hate how every EV has to be all touchscreen-based with fancy software that needs to be updated frrquently just to drive.

Pretty cool, but a little on screen pad would be good for mobile users.

I built something just like this, but I found everyone would drop there tracks and never look at anybody else's stuff. I shut it down as it ended up being kidn of pointless.

Thanks for checking it out. That behavior is intentional and mirrors apps like Tinder and Bumble. Swiping left means you aren't interested in the profile and won't see it again.

Got a lot of feedback for needing a neutral skip, so that's on my list.

Also considering replacing the swiping UI entirely, as many people here pointed out that it's not really ideal.
