Comparing the NEW 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E to my Tesla Model 3

I recently collaborated on some content with Leif Johnson Ford in Austin, Texas. They were kind enough to let me take a test drive in the Ford Mustang Mach-E. Also, thanks to ‪@TIRADORACING‬ for answering some of my questions about the #fordmustangmache
I am happy to say while it is a nice car, I would still choose my recently purchased 2023 Model 3 any day!
Some comparisons:
The MACH E Starting at $42,995
Tesla Model 3 starting at 40,240
Model 3's warranty coverage is a tad longer.
The Tesla Model 3 comes with a four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty and an eight-year/120,000-mile battery warranty.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E comes with a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty and an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery pack and electric components.
BOTH Seating for 5 across two rows.
Though Tesla does not provide official horsepower figures for the Model 3, its acceleration figures this EV are faster than those for the Mustang Mach-E. The quickest Tesla Model 3, the Performance trim with two electric motors, has a zero-to-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds. The Mustang Mach-E in top-tier GT Performance trim goes from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.

No matter how much comparable the Mach-E is to Model Y, the Ford dealership always have the last say. They’ve been marking up the MSRP even way beyond the tax rebate . Who wants to suffer through that crap.

[@tedmoss]

Probably why they aren't selling well.

[@scstudios8]

Big time. Ford is trying to sell direct with the rearrangement of the company. I hope they really focus on that. We do not need dealers to sell cars these days.

[@mbukukanyau]

Or discounts

[@NorthernChev]

They're absolutely FLYING off the lots at the Ford dealership across the street from my office. They're all sold before they even unload them from the truck. Prices that go up with demand? --> That's called Capitalism. Hopefully you're in support of higher prices, man.

[@lenm2857]

You just buy from a dealer that doesn't do markups. Markups only work when there is very limited supply, now that Ford has increased production, markups won't be around much longer. Now look for the discounts...

[@The0Real0Nefta]

I was thinking the same. I would like to see you do more E.V cars. The dealer in the caar doesn't really know much about the Mach-e. The sound is a setting that you can turn off for the fake engine sound.

I finally got to drive a Tesla today. It was an older model S, with the early front grill. It threw me back in the seat more than any other car I've ever been in. I als liked how quiet it was & how smooth it was. The re-gen was though it was programed to slow just like I normally drive. So I am amazed an want one.

[@wchandler2010]

I went to LA earlier this summer and rented a Tesla Model 3, I fell in love with it. I love the big screen and there are so many things I thought were really cool about it, especially that I only spent about 15 dollars the whole week on charging. The regen braking really took some getting used to. I've decided that my next car will be a Tesla no doubt about it.

[@michaelfink64]

I live in Australia and there has been a strong rivalry between the two main car manufacturers, Holden (GM) and Ford (sadly, there are now no car manufacturers in Australia). People often grew up in Holden or Ford households and there were races where all the teams drove Holdens or Fords. It is like allegiance to a sporting club or even a religion. I think it is good that there will be (not here yet) an EV option for all those Ford fans over here who probably would never buy any other brand. By the way, I grew up in a Holden family and owned Holdens until they went out of business. I now drive a Model 3.

[@lionelwylie2326]

Sad about Holden, I do remember my LH Hatchback fondly but Model 3 is next level, I am cured of ICE and I don't even believe the climate change narrative.

Thanks, Ellie! The Mustang has full door frames, which are way quieter, whereas the M3 has frameless windows, which are lighter weight, but noisier. Hence, the double pane windows added to the M3 in ‘21.

[@davidbeppler3032]

Awesome Thumbnail! Glad Mustang Mach-E is selling well! Ford needs to get the OTA working and streamline the build so they can profit! Maybe fix the hose nightmare? Then crank em out!

[@MCL288]

Interesting comparison. One little thing that worried me on your behalf. When driving you did not adjust the seat to support your back or head. This showed especially in your fast acceleration. This means if you get in some kind of accident you will get your neck destroyed. Please consider this when driving. I want you to keep healthy for a long time. Your previous injury is enough. 🐐👍🐥❤️😀

[@Weezedog]

The base models in other EV brands usually can’t hold a candle to what you get in the base Model 3. They are way more stripped down and feature-poor. Base Model 3 just has less speakers, smaller wheels, slightly less range, and less power RWD-only compared to the high trims. But the rest of the features are all there. That is not case with other brands.

[@MrMustangrick]

Ordered a Mach E Premium long range on June2, car has been built and should arrive at my dealer next week. Paying MSRP with no markup OR dealer fees.

[@balaji-kartha]

The problem with all other EVs is not how good they are , the issue is there are no places to charge! All these years these legacy automakers never had to bother with filling stations for their ICE cars, and therefore when they were forced into the EV game (which is still kicking and screaming and crying foul) they never thought of the charging part. And since Elon thought of everything way ahead of everyone Tesla beats them all

[@DarrellC.]

That's only a problem for some. I thought the same before purchasing a Tesla, but after owning a M3/MY for 3 years now, I literally only charge at home and that's it.

[@olebloom1641]

Good job on highlighting options for ev buyers. The person from the dealer should have mentioned the NACS tie in coming in 2024 hen native NACS charging point 2025.

[@TraditionalAnglican]

I think he did mention it at the end…

[@sharpsvilleBill]

Well done, Ellie! And I agree with others that you should video test drives of other car brands. I love Volkswagens and would love to see a VW EV tested, especially the micro bus when it lands! p.s. you looked lovely in your little sundress! You are moving SO well so soon after your surgery!

[@dansburns]

Why didn't you adjust your seat? LOL! If you would have enabled lane keeping assist Blue Cruise would have activated and you could have driven hands free. I looked at both Tesla M3 and MY before ordering my ME. I don't understand why Tesla or Hyundai don't put a rear wiper on their offerings? It's big deal when you live in a place with snow. I also love CarPlay and SiriusXM, which are not available in Tesla. After a year, I don't regret my purchase at all. Every time I ride in a Tesla, it reinforces my choice. To each his own, right? That's why choice is great.

[@ericfielding2540]

Thanks for the review of the Mustang Mach-E. I am not sure that many traditional Mustang owners consider the Mach-E as a follow-on to the Mustang heritage. It is much more of an SUV body style, as you mentioned, comparable to the Tesla Model Y, not like all the Mustang sporty sedans that have been made in the last 59 years. The Mach-E does have two doors on the side but also a hatchback.

[@smavtmb2196]

I appreciate that Ellie wasn't overlying bias. I definitely understand she loves her model 3, and its likley better value then a base Mach-e. Especially if Ford dealerships are being greedy. Sadly alot of dealerships regardless of brand love to price vehicles above MSRP.

[@Attainable_]

The price of Mach-E is only comparable until you get hit by absurd dealer markups.

[@tyronejones1435]

Hard to believe that did not have Blue Cruise on it.

[@NorthernChev]

...Is there something wrong with the seat? Why does your back never touch it? Quite unsafe, actually.

Thanks Ellie. The yellow colour is killer nice. Mach E was the closest competitor for our final choosing a Model Y LR. PS The Lightning 'monster truck' looks awesome!!!

[@KaiPonte]

As someone who chose the Mach-e over the '22 Model Y, I like your review. I do like the ability to use a key FOB in the Mach-e along with the traditional gear shift and a driver's console for speed . I actually plan to check out the Model Y again since I heard they enhanced the suspension, which would help my neck not hurt after driving in it.

[@slowercuber7767]

I had an interest in the Mach-E when it was first announced; only natural, as at the time I was driving Ruby, my 2015 Mustang Ecoboost, which I still have and love. Since then I've fallen for the Tesla Model 3/Y family of vehicles, and since the Y price dropped down to around $50K and got an upgraded computer, I jumped on the Y option and drove it home to Alabama from Atlanta last week. I still love the look of the MachE, but am leery of its heat management and software, particularly battery management, and also prefer the whole vertically integrated approach to building cars that Tesla follows. I love my Y LR. Maybe not a perfect car, but the compromises are done in ways I find acceptable. Also, with a Tesla, there it is possible that if a software driven irregularity in behavior (such as automatic wiper fail, or door lock management (I miss "click once to unlock only the driver's door and click twice to unlock all doors")); that behavior may one day be fixed by an over-the-air software update, months or years after the car was bought. Such updates are at best uncommon from other companies, or maybe even unique to Tesla.

[@mcgreedy01]

These guys have no idea what they were talking about when it comes to the “engine noise”……lol. It has nothing to do with the drive modes. It’s a fake noise. You can turn it off. And the build quality on this Mustang is 1000 times better than your Tesla. As is the sound system, it’s by Bang and Olufsen. Not like the in house Tesla system.

[@HansMilling]

I bought my Tesla Model 3 more than 3 years ago. Back then there were no competition when you looked at range, horse power or anything else. I am not sure I would ever drive any other brand. Like that dial, I hate that most EV producers still clutter then center console, because there used to be a gear shift there, they still put something.

[@trex2092]

I agree with Ellie, it AIN'T a Tesla. I will stick with my CT next spring.

[@KrustyKlown]

Why is your seat reclined??? DO not drive like that, lol.

[@jamesdaniel947]

As an EV car i would never buy anything else other then TESLA or ALSET :) i was even finally able to buy 2 shares of tesla. Regarding instead, combustion cars the old 1960 muscle mustang was a dream.

[@himster22]

The sound system of my 2023 model Y it’s the best sound system I’ve ever had on any car!

[@ramonpunsalang3397]

AFAIK, Tesla uses paper diaphragms in it's speakers. These are a low-cost solution but Tesla is a software company and wrote their own CODEC to output great sound.

[@irrefudiate]

Now that Ford and GM have adopted the national standard re-fueling system, range anxiety should be lessened. It's good to have American OEMs entering the competition for EVs in a serious way. Their input will increase technological gains.

[@musclerocker]

Forgot to mention “blue Cruze” it’s a auto drive like Tesla but only for select freeways. I have a 2019 ranger I’ll be looking at a EV in 2030 . I need long range and self driving

[@mikepeezy824]

It’s not loud at all, they just have the propulsion sound on. You can turn it off in settings

[@iseewood]

The Mustang you drove is the GT version. It hits 0-60 in 3.5 sec. The base models are in the $40k. The engine noise is fake and can be turned on and off. There are three driving modes; Unbridled, Engaged and Whisper. Changing the mode changes the steering responsiveness, engine noise and regenerative braking. One isn’t more efficient than the other. The Mach-e comes with Blue Cruise that provides hands-free driving on pre-mapped freeways. Non-pre-mapped freeways have drive assist that will steer the car but the driver needs one hand resting on the wheel. The Mach-e is bigger then the Model 3, it’s comparable to a Model Y. In addition to a second display, the Mach-e also supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (and a rear windshield wiper and vents that can be adjusted to redirect air).

[@310martin1988]

@iseewood dude finally someone that knows what they are talking about…I feel like they should had done a bit more research because they missed a lot of key points like you said, clearly you are entitled to your own opinion but seems like she prefers a Tesla over the Mustang again that’s ok but there should had been someone from the dealership that knows the vehicle quiet well to help explain the GT features in detail to her Tesla, they should had used a premium trim instead even though it was not the right comparison of models….just saying. 👍🏼

[@iseewood]

@@310martin1988 Unfortunately, the dealerships aren't that educated on the Mach-E, or the EV space, in general. I think a lot more EV's would move off the lot if the salespeople actually spent time understanding the cars. I think most buyers come in knowing more than they do.

[@MonsterSound.Bradley]

Mach-E sales are down 44% in 2023 compared to the same 1st half of 2022, Jan through June. Mach-E 2023, 1st and 2nd quarters (Jan through June) total US sales = 14,040 / global = 18,563 Tesla 3 & Y 2023, 1st and 2nd quarters (Jan through June) global sales = 859,095 * Note Tesla combines 3 & Y sales in their reports and does not report US sales separately. Mach-E US sales 2023, Jan through April = 7,972 Tesla Y US sales 2023, Jan through April = 127,541 Tesla 3 US sales 2023, Jan through April = 72,259 * Note Above US sales data by registration by Ford Authority and Motrolix.

[@PezzBerry]

My Mach-E is my favorite car I have ever had. It looks nice and it actually does have Blue Cruise which will allow for hands free driving on most highways. I took a road trip and used it just about the whole way… I absolutely LOVE this car. And I am one of those who doesn’t want to support Elon… so Tesla wasn’t a choice. My first EV was the Ioniq 5 the Mach-E is a much better looking and more fun car than the Ioniq 5. But the Ioniq was superior for milage and charging speed.

[@johnarnold893]

Ford is losing about $58000 on every EV it sells, Tesla makes about 25% profit on each of it's EV's sold. Ford EV's are piling up on dealer lots because of sluggish sales. They've made 38000 EV's in Q2 and only sold 8600.

[@lenm2857]

Tesla also had massive losses the first 10 years or so. They don't "really" lose $58,000 per car, it's more of an accounting loss. It's based on the billions they are spending building battery factories. They expect to lose money next year as well. It will be 2025 or 2026 before the EV division is profitable. Also the 8600 units is US sales only, a lot of the 38,000 is shipped to other countries.

[@RichardYoungCF]

You can turn of the propulsion sound in the drive mode. The Sound system can still be tuned to your liking.

Thanks for doing this video...I felt like I was kinda along for the ride too! I am really interested when you take your California trip and how often you have to stop and charge when running the A/C and playing music, etc. Are there enough charging stations at convenient locations and how busy are they...do you have to wait just to get to the charger or is there plenty for all on the road? Stuff like that will help me in my future decision to switch over to an EV.

[@TraditionalAnglican]

Practical Range on the Tesla Model 3 (80 to 10%) is ~260 miles. Tesla has 12,000 superchargers in the USA, and they consistently work - That’s why Ford, GM & Hyundai have decided to switch to the Tesla (NACS) Standard. ATST, 100’s of hotels & motels now feature “destination chargers” which allow you to start the day with a full charge.

Owned the mach e 23 premium and moved to a model 3. Model 3 is a superior car in every way. The ford app is terrible and lacks the features of the Tesla app, blue cruise is weak in comparison to AutoPilot, sound system is terrible in the Mach E. Road/wind noise is noticeably higher in Mach E (I’m driving 24 m3 so that may make a difference). M3 weighs less so better battery efficiency and significantly faster. The Mach e is an easier transition as inside it feels like a traditional vehicle but it is way too expensive and a bad buy since they don’t qualify for ev credit. I hated the Mach e every day I had it. So glad to be in a vehicle I like.

Good comparison. Even the standard Mustangs are way overpriced, especially down here in Australia.

Now you can get a 65inch uhd tv for under a grand. Same with electric cars.

When you drink too much of the Tesla's Kool-Aid.

Totally unbiased review from a person that is clearly open to other companies.

Congratulations Ellie on your Tesla Model 3 but the Mach E is more comparable to a Model Y and then some. It all depends on what you are looking for. Your car is a fun drive too and very well priced.

My son in law worked for several years leading the team developing the automated driving system. I want a Tesla, but I have to wait.

Gotta adjust eq to get the sound you want.

MachE Ellie, you better slow that MachE down.

Who drives a car, any car, sitting like that? They had the noisemaker on, it is easy to turn it off. This isn’t the car you compare to a model S.
