I don’t understand EV haters. Can’t everyone just drive what they like? And be happy for each other? Variety keeps things interesting. Good luck to ford selling this against the Ioniq 5 N on features and model Y with .9 financing. Ford and GM need to offer low apr deals and the EVs will start moving fast.

[@aussie2uGA]

Media’s done a good job in the last year or so of making the EV vs gas very political.

[@Snerdles]

Well, if it was actually about choice, sure, but EVs are eventually being forced and sales would be far lower if they didn't get massive rebates because they aren't economically viable in their current state.

[@austin73]

"Can’t everyone just drive what they like?"

[@stevefrench4595]

It's interesting. I think what ticked off the ICE crowd was the massive push in the last two years was the government and automakeers drumb beat that EV is the future and there is no room for ICE beyond 5 years. The messaging was very strong, and that turn consumers off

[@leechburglights]

Government forcing people to buy EVs might have something to do with it. No internal combustion vehicles sold in California by 2035? The American public doesn't care that there are EV or that they are an option. But being told they are their "only choice" is where the government is overreaching.

[@AustinKempOfficial]

I recently sold my 2021 Ram 1500 V8 HEMI etorque w/ towing package, and replaced it with a 2023 Mach-E California Route 1 Edition. I absolutely LOVED my truck, but I haven’t regretted selling it in the slightest. When I realized that gas was going to run me around $800 a month with my new work commute, the decision was clear. Full transparency, we already owned a Tesla Model 3 so I knew what I was getting myself into. Oh yeah…the Mach-E is fast as sh*t!!!

That's exactly what we did, got the Mach-E over the Model Y.

[@Wachuko-1]

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.

[@devonconnor3563]

I had a model 3 that got totaled and did similar cross shopping for a replacement, so im used to the tesla ecosystem. In the end the price difference was just insane given a 8k cheaper starting price and 7.5k tax credit and financing offer we can get the Y for almost 18k less.

[@Wachuko-1]

@@devonconnor3563 Yes, current incentives on the Model Y can't be beat. No way for other brands to compete at this time. If I was to buy today, Model Y would be my choice. I am really trying to decide if I want to add another car... rather than replace the Gladiator... Going back and forth on that. I have until the end of the month to decide since I understand, that is when the incentives from Tesla on the Model Y, change. The Model Y with a factory hitch option... I could use the trailer for the stuff that I use the Gladiator for... but then again, when you are out and about and need the bring something home, having that back bed area in a truck, is great... Anyhow, great video...

I’m on my 2nd Mach-E. I have nothing against the Tesla, but having driven both, I felt like the Tesla was a basically a fancy laptop on wheels and the Mach E was a really comfortable car that happens to use electrons…

[@AZdroptop]

If you plan on driving out of town the Tesla is really the only answer at the moment. Yes the supercharging network is being opened to other manufacturers, but only a small percentage of them. On another note, the fact that Ford called this a Mustang is a bummer for a long time Mustang lover. Mach E would have been fine.

Another good TFL video. I drive a Mach-e California Route One with 315 miles of range. I usually see at least one or two other Mach-e cars per day on the road here in Los Angeles. 30,000 miles on my '22 and absolutely no issues. I would like those new lights. I cannot believe you're trying to compare to the Tesla MY. My Mach-e was hit in March and i rented a Tesla for two weeks while minor body work was done. I very much missed the comfort, quiet, and ride of the Mach-e. Also, there was no driver's console in the Tesla. Finally, the Tesla has no Apple Car Play. It felt SO nice to get back into the Mach-e.

[@dennisl6198]

agree, this car competes with a high end model 3 maybe, and the top version competes with a model S, at least on the interior.

[@Longsnowsm]

Looks good, but still no heat pump. Ford knows winter range is awful, we need the heat pump and integrated preconditioning options. The Ioniq 5 gets a refresh for 2025 to address the biggest problems and will be NACS port equipped. So I am leaning more in that direction as I prefer the 800v architecture.

[@devonconnor3563]

Dang I didn't know it was still lacking! A Heat pump is a must for me in colorado

[@mrjonlor]

The 2024 F-150 Lightnings are getting a heat pump. The 2023.5 mid-year refresh of the Mach-E included a more efficient resistive heating system that is able to utilize excess heat from the motors so it should be better than it used to be… 🤷‍♂️ I live in Canada and didn’t have a problem with my ‘22 Mach-E. I found I lost about 1/3 of my range when it was cold.

The irony of people who list all the negatives of EVs are the ones who actually make EVs even better. Because of all the complaints more R and D takes place to make EVs more powerful, charge quicker , use more environmentally better materials. Etc etc , so I’m glad there is that crowd . Making EVs better through the negative feedback.

The Model Y has better range, better software, and much better packaging. Cargo capacity and back seat are far superior in the Tesla. Did you see how tight the back seat was? There's a very good reason the Model Y was the best-selling car in the world last year, while this Mach-E doesn't even compete. Although the Mach-E scored well in safety ratings, the Model Y is the benchmark in that category as well.

[@Lokey_8664]

I've always said that we should have gone hybrid first and crip into EV, and by then, the batteries would have caught up. Also, I've also said that if you can't charge at home, do not by an EV. Also, if your commute is over 100 miles a day, do not by an EV. Also, if you tow a heavy load, do not buy an EV. When I hear people complain about those things, I just watch them as stupid

[@kenhiett5266]

The Model Y was the best-selling car in the world last year. A definitive result of consumer decision making at enormous scale can't be argued with. Teslas achievement is especially incredible considering the price point. The Mach-E has no chance of doing any such thing. These relatively minor improvements can't negotiate the Grand Canyon sized gap that separates these two models and manufacturers.

Buying any car but especially an EV is one of the largest purchases most people make. Arguing it's a childish fight between fanatics is just silly. If the Mach-E was a legitimate competitor, I'd consider buying it, but it's not. The Mach-E is objectively the inferior choice by a wide margin. We can go category by category and delve into the engineering if you doubt the overwhelming voice of consumers. I think the Model 3 and Y are probably the best mass production cars ever made, so I admit my bias, but I can back it up.

EV sales have done nothing but increase for the past 14 years (the first year of the first mass production EV - Nissan Leaf). Every time there is a slow down in growth, the haters declare EVs are dead. Then the next quarter, sales increase and they say nothing. Ford EV sales were up 86% in the first quarter of 2024, with Only Three Models. Imagine if they, and every EV maker were to go all in and make a real selection of EV's. Once manufacturers do go all in, consumers will start to see the real savings that EVs will inevitably offer. Manufacturing an EV takes far less time and far fewer steps (automated or manual) meaning less cost. As supply chains are put in place, manufacturing ramped up, and selection grows, EV sales will just continue to grow.

Certainly seems better screwed together than anything Tesla makes. I have yet to see a Tesla with a hood that fits, for example. And EVs have their place in the world and are excellent for daily commuting and taking fairly short trips. Long distance drives just take too much time charging, although most EV nav systems have you leapfrogging from station to station to minimize time spend charging. Overall they’re great, but not for everyone. There are also too many myths out there and people thinking about EVs like they do about gas cars. For example, you can’t fill your gas tank at home, and most EV owners charge at home.

[@bradleymeyer9775]

It is a good looking electric car but I do g like how it sues the Mustang name, it should be a called the Ford Probe or just the Ford Mach-EV.

[@atg1338]

Who cares about the name 🤣🤣🤡

[@FordEnthusiast413]

Nice review. Mach-E vs IONIQ 5. Thoughts? Which is the better EV?

[@scanspeak00]

I'd take this over the Tesla any time.

[@danielberning1240]

Also, the glass roofs are deal breakers for someone like myself who sufferes from very light sensative eyes. Plus, I just don't feel as save in vehicles with them.

[@heinekenswordfish]

Mach E only has it on the highest trim level, and there are aftermarket shades available if you want to cover it up. I agree, though, I'm not a huge fan of the all-glass roofs, especially the fact that most are sealed and can't be opened. I would prefer a traditional sunroof in the front and in the back that can be opened/closed.

[@danielberning1240]

@@heinekenswordfish Can you tell me if the top trim Mach E is the only one with the painted trim around the wheels? One of the other things I really dislike is the ugly black plastic all around these vehicels. Yes, my Bolt EV has it too and it's the main thing that I hate about my Bolt. This one I got in black just to help hide the non-painted black plastic. But I also paid less than 25 grand for my Bolt. If I'm paying 35 to 50 grand for a vehicle, it best be fully painted.

[@shiftymcgee9359]

EVs have a problem shared by trucks. Price point and emphasis on luxury.

[@hongshi8251]

I love it. Can’t wait to buy one for 25k after a year and a half.

[@MarkWitzel]

Increasing the technology in cars is driving insurance rates through the roof. The average person needs simpler cars that are cheaper and easier to repair and significantly lower insurance costs.

[@hereigoagain5050]

Fun reading the comments from Tesla bots/trolls and Musk fanboys. Solid competition is good for everyone; otherwise, Tesla will become the IBM of EVs.

[@nickgallegos430]

It always was. Service, repairs and charging situation just far superior with Tesla forcing us to go Tesla for now although personally prefer ioniq 5 or Mach e

[@marryellen7713]

I hooked up my Mach -E to my 220V receptacle, It has a 30A breaker. My battery was at 78%. Several times the breaker tripped. 30a at 220V. that is 6600W. Now you leave your car to charge over night. I am waiting to see the increases on my electric bill.

[@metricstormtrooper]

I love EVs. I have had one for 6 years, but I really hate the concentration on performance and I hate the fact that lots of EV manufacturers are concentrating on EVs with exactly the same side profile as an ice car.

[@smarticus6384]

Whenever I hear Mach-E, I remember watching the Munro teardown and seeing that cooling system nightmare hidden beneath its skin.

[@johnbyers3439]

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. I've also run into the "Did you buy it here?" statement. I don't see the recalls as a problem, I consider it as Ford doing the right thing, it's usually just a programming update, After looking at other manufacturers EVs another Mach E will be my choice.

[@G4series]

Mustang owners are so mad they share the name with a more expensive, faster, technologically advanced, suv and i dont get why.

[@doncooper2344]

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.

[@slyguyaction]

The Mach-E is definitely getting better. They really need to ditch that Power ON/OFF button on the dash tho.

[@jhb3711]

I think these look awesome. The price seems reasonable as well. Ford did a good job with this.

[@bubbaj6929]

Best selling vehicle on the planet, two years in a row is the Tesla Y model. Ever think how that may affect fuel costs?

[@contextual_investor6139]

1) Force every interaction to be done through a touch screen 2) Make the touch screen junky slow and unresponsive 3) Frustration

[@Igoriann]

Honestly 2021 is the best year for Mach E. comes with way more options and is the most reliable. The power it has on awd is way more than anyone needs. I picked this vehicle over model Y when I was choosing so I have no idea why the title says is it finally better than a Tesla. IMO it was always better than a Tesla

[@devonconnor3563]

Price difference I'd not 1500 😅, when comparing like to like. 2024 model y awd at 310 miles is 49.5k, 2024 mache premium awd er at 300 miles is 57.5k both with destination and no tax incentives. That's a 8k difference

[@tri3pleagent]

This has always been a good looking vehicle. Glad Ford addressed the pricing.

[@keithcooke5066]

I love our Mach E . Not sure if I missed charging rate in your video, but that is what I'm looking for. Charging and Tesla NACS , get it done otherwise its just the same car. Quality feels better than the model Y, range is perfectly fine for us ( extended ) . Don't care if it is a fraction of a second faster, they are all faster than 95% of ICE vehicles, and who cares

[@mrjonlor]

They did announce a modest charge speed bump for the ‘24s. I think it was like 10% faster. Noting earth-shattering, and still definitely slower than much of the competition, but better than nothing, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

[@shredofmalarchi]

People aren't buying EVs because the corporations refuse to make an affordable version other than Bolt or Leaf. If we compare ev and ice based on price points and not just total cars sold of each type, you may get a better idea of how electric cars are doing in the market.

[@ryanfraley7113]

Pretty soon the initial Mach-E’s will be in the Leaf price point on the used market.

[@mrjonlor]

I expect we’ll see a lot more affordable EVs in the coming years. With GM finally getting their act together on Ultium, Ford working on its cheaper EV platform, and competition from Chinese automakers like BYD, we’ll start seeing prices come down soon enough.

[@jimgoff1170]

I agree, I don’t want a car that does 0-60 super fast, I want inexpensive simple, reliable, and easy to charge.

[@Cinder-g2o]

Using stats to prove they aren’t dead, just proves they are dead. He says ford sold 40k Mach-e last year. I looked it up, the 2023 sales number in the US was exactly 40,771. Sounds good until you notice ford has almost 3k dealerships in the US. Do the math and it works out to each dealership selling 1.13 Mach-e per month. That’s not a car that’s using demand. The number is pretty stagnant also with the Mach-e having sold 39,458 in 2022.

[@Ianmundo]

I think most people find a Ford EV branded as a Mustang to be cringe. They styling is perfectly fine, but I would prefer it to have F O R D spelled out on the grille like they do with their trucks

[@atg1338]

Who the f cares about a name🤣🤣 oh no it says mustang😭😭😭

[@NomenClature-o8s]

Most people don’t care. Only easily hurt Mustang fanboys care.

[@CaptainRotmeat]

For real... It honestly feels like envy that the Mach-E is priced similarly to the gas 'stang at similar perfomance points, but has a better 0-60, has better tech, and is a more practical daily driver.

[@Bodiddly55]

2:56 what the hell is up with those brake rotors? They already look wasted.

[@JeepAndThings]

Just orderd my first Telsa this month (I'm 58). 2024 Model 3 performance. Ford is nice though. misc info... Dumped my Cybertruck early order, vought my wife a Maverick XL. So the 2 combined are cheaper than the Cybertruck even without the Foundation charge.

[@youdidntbuildthat47]

Great looking EV but no heat pump?

[@toddhedman7959]

LOVE THE COLOR......I'D TAKE 1

[@mtnman1984]

The weeds are where it falls short. Its charging curve needed improvement.

[@habaloneh]

Still limit full performance to 5 seconds ?

[@KCphilippi]

Opens “the hood” doesn’t even talk about the 12 v battery!??😅

[@derrekb4501]

Has anyone seen the videos on Tesla FSD, it’s magical. No way I would consider another EV brand

[@hhjones9393]

Thanks Roman! The facelift is an improvement. I may go to the dealer and take a look!

[@eedre4864]

I like that it’s fresher than the Model Y, and you don’t see as many Mach E’s. It has a faster 0-60, same range, and has a frunk. Many competitors don’t have the frunk. I think it’s worth the extra $1,500, unless you really like the “full self driving” capability of a Tesla… but I’m not too impressed by it or enthused by paying $8k to beta test Tesla software.

[@mowcowbell]

The frunk does look larger than the one on my Model Y. Only thing I see wrong is the charge port location. Should be on the driver's side rear, then it wouldn't take up two spots at a supercharger location.

[@robwatson3600]

This idea that EVs are dead are ridiculous...this is the transition from bleeding edge to mainstream. Prices were too high during the pandemic and now that is moving through the system. Resale values show where vehicles should be priced. IEMs see this and will make adjustments to new vehicle pricing. 2022 Mach E GTs with very low miles can be had for $35K. That is great value for a 250 mile performance EV.

[@pfd1970]

The number is either go up or it is not (hint: it is). It not up to us to decide. Data are data. Oh and two years and 30K miles in, I friggin love my Mach-E. Great car.
