It feels and sounds like you are doing real damage to the struggling engine that was not designed to do this often. As a car enthusiast (and multi-Mustang owner) I feel like this statement really hurts the credibility of the review. The current Mustang GT is brutally fast for a street car and certainly does NOT feel like the engine is struggling or is going to explode at 7600 RPMs. In fact, it feels buttery smooth at all RPMs. With the Performance Package, you can drive these on a racetrack in the desert and you'll run out of gas before the engine breaks a sweat. It's a car designed to handle the idiots who buy them (too bad the idiots who buy them can't handle the car). That being said, most of the enthusiast reviews of the Mach E have been positive. The major complaints seem to be around the height of the driving position, and the relatively underwhelming handling (0.86g on the skidpad vs 0.95g for the Model 3 Performance, or the 1.0+g of the performance package ICE Mustangs). This is on my radar due to curiosity, but I think I'll probably end up with a Model 3 Performance due wanting something with handling chops.
