I test drove both cars (2024 Mach E Premium, not the GT, and the 2024 Tesla Model Y) this past weekend... as someone in the comments mentioned "The Model Y has better range, better software, and much better packaging. Cargo capacity and back seat are far superior in the Tesla." But for someone like me, that this would be my first EV, I find the MachE to be better looking and easier transition from a gas powered car. The Mach E is a beautiful car. But you can't overlook the larger and more comfortable layout of the Model Y. I know that it is a matter of getting used to it, but I do not like the Model Y dash layout... meaning, I do not like having to look to the side and down to see what speed I am doing. On the Mach E you still have a display right in front, in addition to the tablet in the middle... that, for me, works a lot better for a newbie coming from normal cars. I currently drive a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave... I am trying to decide if I add a Model Y or Mach E , or if I simply sell the Gladiator and get into a Rivian R1T. Either way, I will wait until next year to do anything as I want to see what the new Model Y looks like.

LOL - I’d love the opposite. My EV is one of the oddballs with a rear port (MiniCooper SE) and I find it a PITA backing into the public bays, especially with other people all jockeying for position when it’s busy. And many public charger cables are so short that I need to back right up to the bollards which then interferes with opening the rear hatch to let dogs out for a pee access luggage etc. Someone is going to wise up one day and offer BOTH front and rear connections. One “filling” point is legacy thinking from when you needed a short pipe to the fuel tank…

Ford service dropped my 21' Mach e from a lift and totaled it. it's really hard to find a Ford dealership with an ev certified technician to keep up with all of the recalls.

If you have a 30A breaker you should only be drawing 24A from it - rule of thumb is 20% less that what the breaker is rated for. I'm not an electrician but that may explain why it's tripping. Have a licensed EVSE installer or competent electrician look at it.

I don't think EV is THE future of mobility, but it is definitely a great alternative to ICE, hybrids, and eventually other alternatives. That being said, still not a fan of the Mach Es, it just looks old...not a very timeless design by any means. If they are priced much lower than a Model Y, then I bet it'll attract more buyers.

Have they reduced the number of cooling hoses and pumps and simplified the system as a whole? Tesla has pretty much miniaturized the entire cooling and heat pump system.

Own a Tesla and a Mach-E. With Magna-Ride the Mach-E is in a entirely different class. If you drive both around the block you might not notice a huge difference, but drive both for 20 miles and there is no comparison in the ride or the NVH. Tesla does a great job of cost cutting but the de-contenting is noticeable. Just pulling a number out of the air, I'd say the Ford is worth $10K more.
