Invalid test when the Mach-E was used in a mode designed for sustained track use.

[@BigAlsGarage]

100% correct. Getting 11.8@113-115 with my '24 GT here. Extended mode is not for straight line racing, and indeed does block out the top 1/4 of the power meter on the car which comes down to about a second off of the 1/4 mile when straight line raced in this mode.

[@Clockwork2004]

Fun fact: This test of the Mach-E was in Unbridled Extend mode which limits power. EV Pulse tested this on an older GT (that has less power than the 24) and here were the results: Best Run 3.69 second 0-60 12.49 second 1/4 mile Unbridle Extend mode 4.70 second 0-60 13.35 second 1/4 mile

[@BigAlsGarage]

100% correct. On the power bar, the minute you select Unbridled Extended you'll see the power limiting bars show up for about the top 1/4 of the gauge. I have a '24 GT with Performance Upgrade, and when ran in the proper drive modes and state of charge (anything above 60% or so), the car has no issues running in to the 11 sec 1/4 range with a 113-115 trap speed.

Misha (KZbinr) was able to track the car with no overheating issues. For reference the new Model 3 highland performance brakes overheated 1/4 way through the lap and also limited power by 50% before the first lap even finished!! This car should be able to keep up with a Taycan 4s... In a straight line and around a track. Similar acceleration and weight

[@Clockwork2004]

Couple of issues with the Mach-E and the test in general... 1) State of charge - The only commentary we have is that the Mach-E was at least at a 60% SoC. This can impact power output and the resulting times. What was the SoC of the other vehicles? What are their power curves based on SoC? I don't know, but it's certainly an important factor/consideration. But more importantly... 2) Drive mode - The Mach-E was in Unbridled Extend. This mode reduces peak power. I found a Mach-E Forum post that suggested this reduction can limit power to about 70%. I am not sure of the accuracy of that, but the same post did link an EV Pulse video that did compare 0-60 times between modes. In that video, the Mach-E was definitely hampered in Unbridled Extend when compared to the regular Unbridle mode. We already have Ford quoting 3.3 seconds for 0-60 and 11.8@114 in the 1/4 for the 2024 Mach-E GT with performance upgrade. They literally call out beating the Model Y Performance in their marketing now. You seriously didn't question your results or think something was off?

The Mustang needs to be ran in Unbridled only mode, not extended. On a full charge, it's about 1 sec 1/4 mile difference.

This is what happens when people don’t do their research. They ran the Mach E in “unbridle extend” mode. That mode cuts more than 100 hp out of the Mach E.

As an ev owner and just returning from a 5400 mile trip, the number 1 think to consider is the charging network and not how fast you can go since you will be pulled over and jailed since you will be going way more than the posted speed limit. Yep, I own a Tesla Model X and there is no way in hell you can run out of power because you couldn't reach a charging station..15min charge for 200mile drive..We saw lines of the other brands because out of 3or4 chargers only 1 worked...Tesla superchargers have 6-24 chargers and we did not even found a single broken 1.

Take the Mach-E out of unbridled extend mode. In Unbridled extend the power is LIMITED to something like 80% of what it's rated, and it's intended for use in LONG hard racing, like in a rally race or something similar so that it can run longer without overheating components. Unfortunately this was not a fair test, and your choaen settings handicapped the Mach-E. For short drag races you should not be limiting power with this mode turned on.

[@fuzzoptic7476]

Hmmm..... something is really wrong with the Mustang times in the 1/4 mile. I have seen much better ones in the 2023 version and the 2024 version is faster than the 2023 version. Did the driver ensure that the car was in unbridled mode?
