My answer is the same as yours. I am in the market for an electric car and I've test driven both cars. I loved the Mach-E, it felt very safe and solid. I do wish the regen braking was a little more aggressive as you said, but overall I loved that car. Then I test drove the Model Y and I had so much fun on that short little test drive. The seats were definitely more comfortable than the Mach-E, the regen braking felt nice and confident, the sound system was unbelievable, and the acceleration? Best I've ever felt. Between the two the deciding factor is the charging network. Ford has the electrify America chargers but many youtubers have posted showing how bad and unreliable they actually are. You don't want to be hundreds of miles from home stuck at a fast charger where none of the stalls work. With Tesla, you can be confident knowing when you get there, they will work. I'm saving up for my Red Model Y, I plan on making the purchase in Sept of 2022 after the new version of it comes out. Thanks for the videos Gjeebs, enjoying the content!

Test drove the Model Y and 3. The next day I test drove the Mach-E. The following day I ordered one. Why? Screen behind wheel, CarPlay, it has a better ride than Y, federal tax rebate, volume knob (intuitive), hands-free hatch, massive dealer network, and styling. I’ll give the charging network to Tesla, but that edge is temporary, as EV charging is expanding by the day. Dislikes with the Y: there was an annoying rattle. Checking the cargo areas (upper and lower), I couldn’t find the source. The ride was harsher. The interior is Spartan to a fault...just too antiseptic for my taste. While they were once novel, the outside styling now looks vanilla, as Teslas are now ubiquitous on the road. Having just the center screen is not good for critical information, since it pulls your eyes from the road. I’ve heard of significant wait times for Tesla service in the Boston area, which gives Ford a massive edge, due to their network of dealerships. My decision wasn’t even close, and this comes from someone who initially snickered at Ford’s initial reveal of the Mach-E and always lusted for a Tesla.

Nice summary. I am getting really sick and tired of all these “reviewers” getting into a Tesla and pronouncing that “this is the future”! It is NOT - it’s just Tesla’s view. The future is not barren, boring spartan interiors just because that’s what Tesla does (which Is really because it is the low cost option) , every “car” maker should be able to have there own design direction and not be lambasted for it because it isn’t like a Tesla. Anyway, as a consumer I want more choice, variety, suppliers etc in any market, not one monopoly player that dictates what I want. It’d be a pretty awful and boring streetscape if everyone was driving the same car.

I've had the Mach-e for 4 months now and I much prefer over my model S. I got the 300 RWD Range mi version and I consistently get over 360 mi on charge where my Tesla p100d 315 mile range rarely get 260 miles on a charge. That why is makes me want to get rid of it. I drive very safely and I don't floor it. I try to maintain safe levels for the battery yeah I have never gotten what is advertised. The Mach-e is slightly slower but it's still a very fast car compared to most other vehicles. The funny thing is that I live in Los Angeles, the number one city of Tesla sales and the charging network is pitiful here. My closest supercharger has been broken for 9 months at least but the charging Network for the Mach e in California is far better. There are a lot less people who have the same network so I'm not competing for chargers as well. Would Tesla on a road trip, it is sometimes a nightmare to charge Midway to San Francisco. I think this review was pretty comprehensive but I am happy that I'm probably going to get away from Tesla for a while.

I am a M3P owner and test drove the Mach-e (regular and GT version). It is a nice car that many folks would enjoy. I prefer the minimalist Tesla interior, but many folks would have the opposite opinion. One thing I noticed immediately during the test drives that you did not mention, but is obvious in your video, is the massive hood. The M3 and Y have a front end that slopes down radically, making the front hood disappear from the driver's seat. The forward visibility in the Tesla is fantastic, whereas I felt like I had blinders on when driving the Mach-e. Anyone coming from a gas car with the big hood won't even notice, it is only because I come from such a radically shaped vehicle. Tesla does not offer entry level vehicles and price of the lower-tier Mach-e is now significantly lower than the Model Y in the 1-year+ since you made your video. I totally agree with your assessment regarding the charging network, but the dealership network is Ford's huge advantage over Tesla as it make service a snap. I decided to order a Model Y after my Mach-e test drive, in part for the heat pump (I live in the Northeast and the range of my M3P is halved in the cold), in part because I liked everything a bit more in the Tesla compared to the Ford and in part because we are lucky to have a Tesla service center in my city. That said, I have to admit that the "I liked everything a bit more in the Tesla" most likely reflects my familiarity with the product. I suspect that many ICE drivers would have the same familiarity pull with the Ford rather than the Tesla. Nice review, thank you.

I'm 6'4" and 290#; my drive buddy is 5'7" and pretty hefty. I felt like two sardines in the Mach-e. As soon as I sat in the Model Y I felt like the car is much wider and comfortable. Now granted, I drove them two days apart and my muscle memory may have betrayed me but the Tesla seems like a larger interior. I currently have a Ford Edge SUV and although I don't haul a lot of stuff, I feel like the cargo area of the Tesla is great whereas the Mach-e seems quite small. Once again, like you...

This was a well thought out video, great job. I can tell you first hand i went to a large Ford dealer in San Diego a few weeks ago to look at the Mach E, they had like 10 of them on the lot. Apparently they were all special order, they wouldn’t even open one of them for me. Now i get production is down, Covid, whatever, but if you can’t test drive one or they make it difficult, why would you want to buy one? Ford needs to get their shit together and understand the EV market and buyer, the mind set, and right now they’re about as far as they can get from it. Their dealer network is a bunch of old guys who are used to the good old days, when beating you up on your trade and then “Making a deal” on a new car is the program. Ordering my 2 Tesla’s was the easiest and best car experience I’ve ever had, and enjoyable, including the easiest test drive EVER. They don’t need to SELL Teslas, they sell themselves. Ford dealers and other OE’s need a major course correction, or they’re literally going to loose a massive amount of their market because all their customers are an older generation that is fading. This mind set is reflected in the design of the Mach E. The whole idea that they could use the “Mustang” brand to build their 1st EV is part of the irony, stop milking the brand to make something new and technologically advanced, just DESIGN & BUILD something NEW!!! How many versions of the Mustang are they going to Milk? I’m sorry, but if your a traditional Mustang buyer, the Mach E is ugly as sin. If your not a Mustang buyer in the past, because you don’t like or need one, why would you buy an EV with the same name? All Ford did was take the Tesla and try to make a couple things better (they thought) and slap the Mustang label on it. They forgot all the stuff that matters: The Tech, charging network, range, power, and lastly, they need to spend about a billion dollars on a cool marketing campaign that understands who the EV buyer really is, and what they want, not what FORD wants to sell.

You're noticing the range dropping slower in the Mach-E because the battery is much bigger, tires are skinny, and the wheels are smaller. Your tesla has those big tires and induction wheels that reduce range quite a bit. Either way, Ford did a great job with this car. Plus with that tax credit it's just so much cheaper and I think it looks better on the exterior. After sitting in both, it would be really really tough to pick. I'd lean Model Y for overall being better, but Mach E for looks and cheaper price due to tax credit.

People might think they can get a 0-60 time for $42,895 and 305 miles - not the case. Also, I noticed more body roll in the Mach-E compared to my Tesla Performance Model Y. The Mach-E GT Performance Edition Extended Range Battery, a $5,000 added on option which has a Target Range: 235 miles and a Usable Battery Capacity: 88 kWh 0-60 in 3.5 seconds which starts at $64,900 before choosing interior/exterior colors or packages. Now if you want the 305 mile range with a 0-60 time of 6.1 secs for the rear-wheel drive only - that would be the California Route 1 edition which starts at $50,400 before any ext/inter color ops or packages. 😉

We ordered a Model Y after test-driving the Mach-E and the ID.4. The Mach-E we test drove at the dealer had build issues -- the mirrors couldn't be adjusted (they shut closed if you tried) and the drive mode couldn't be changed. That was a huge turn off for us. I mean, the test drive vehicle should be in really good shape! The ID,4 we drove also had issues. Anyway, Ford has more recalls than any manufacturer. We decided that even if there were some panel gap issues (our Prius has them, so not that worried), the driving experience was better with the Tesla we test drove and obviously the charging network is superior. Still waiting for our Y (but then, our wait would be even longer if we'd ordered a Mach-E).
@USGrant21st3 жыл бұрын
LOL. You've got to drive some defective cars (you must be incredibly unlucky) and then made your conclusion based on that? There is a Mach-E forum, defects are very rare, not like Tesla that each car has multiple defects and you pay even before test driving and then wait and hope they will fix all the defects.😂
@artmotocafela78743 жыл бұрын
@@USGrant21st have you ever bought a car and owned one? Do you know the difference between cosmetic issues and mechanical issues? Who would pay for a car before taking delivery? On all of the cars we test drove, we had to put down a deposit of $100 if we wanted to buy one, but only if we wanted to do that. We did not have to pay anything to test drive. And when we decided on the Tesla, we didn't have to pay for it in advance. The day of delivery, we thoroughly inspected the car (no defects, btw), then sat in the car and signed the paperwork and transferred the money using our phone. If we'd bought a Ford, we would have done all of that in the dealer's financing office instead of inside the car. Otherwise the process would have been very much the same. I assume you're new to vehicle ownership. We've had many, many vehicles from different manufacturers over decades of driving. We aren't naive buyers and we understand the difference between cosmetic defects that don't affect the drivability of a car and mechanical ones. You want to see a disaster waiting to happen? Check out Sandy Munro's teardown of the hose and clamp nightmare under the Mach-E's hood. When you think about reliability, the panel gaps and paint defects don't matter. It's much more important to know that there is a reduced chance that you'll be stranded on the road from a mechanical problem. In survey after survey, Tesla owners are happy with their cars and say they'd buy them again, because most people don't actually care about cosmetic issues, all of which can be solved (and also don't impact drivability). They want genuine reliability. They want to know that they can get from point A to point B safely and efficiently.

I looked through few hundred of the comments and didn’t see anyone address this so I will. Mainly because the Ford salesman who showed me the car made the same error, the mispronunciation of the drive mode ‘Unbridled’. The red car is a Mustang. A Mustang is a horse, a wild horse to be precise. When referring to the drive modes, pronounce the Unbridled mode with a long ‘i’ , not a short ‘i’. Then make the connection back to the idea of a wild horse, a Mustang, without a bridle, without the reins to control, the horse, in effect a fast horse without any encumbrances , fast without limitations. It’s sad that the connection is lost. We need more horse people.

Well steps involved to start Ford vs Tesla. Ford: 1. Keys in pocket- get in car 2. Apply break, press start button and drive Tesla: 1. Card in pocket get in the car. 2. Take out the card and place it exactly near the cup holder for car to detect the card then apply breaks and drive. According to me it really depends what experience you want but as an industrial engineer I think the steps involved in each process are same but chances of error with Tesla are more. I’m someone who forgets keys in car so the key in pocket feature is actually a pulse. Again this is not a deal breaker but trying to state the facts.

No way I would ever choose the Mustang over the Y, unless price is a deciding factor (I guess $7.5K federal credit applies to Mustang).

Model Y needs a couple more years to get the quality issues sorted out. @25:00 He says Tesla will be in trouble if Ford figures out the charging network. Ford has Plug & Charge which I've used many times. Just pull up to a 350kW fast charger, plug in and it immediately charges. It charges my Ford account afterwards. Super easy to use and identical to the Tesla Supercharger network. This is a brand new car and charging network and it'll have bugs just like Tesla did in the beginning but its getting better everyday. Really happy to see there's a direct competitor to Tesla now.

What's up with that obsession with Tesla superchargers? Most families own two cars. My other car is F150 and it will be the car for any lengthy trips. No worries about charging, tons of space and can tow a trailer. However, the second car is for around the town errands, taking kids to sports, etc. So charging would always be at home. I find Model Y quite ugly, especially in front. So mach-E wins in exterior. Better fit and finish is also nice. But Tesla is faster, has better infotainment (though I kinda got used to Android Auto), and perhaps is more efficient in winter. One very important consideration - Tesla is the most U.S. car. And supporting Tesla is supporting Elon in his mission. So I would go with Model Y over this two. We are currently considering replacement for our second car and cross shopping Model Y with BMW X3, Genesis GV70 and Merc GLC.

Ford is an automobile company. They make vehicles. Decent ones too! Tesla is a technology company... something the old automakers have never been. The software on a Tesla alone, absolutely annihilates anything else the other guys are doing. When getting an electric car, YES - the software is everything. It's essentially the vehicles engine. Never mind the charging network, battery range, performance, etc... SOFTWARE ALONE should be your deciding factor when purchasing one of these cars. Fords OS is atrocious. Side note - you forgot to mention, Tesla frunk doesn't share cabin air. The best place to store your groceries or carryout food is your frunk. Keeps your car from stinking up!

My Fusion had body panel fit and finish problems which they refused to fix because they said it was just cosmetic, had a few pain runs, and some cheap plastic broken parts over the years... I dunno.... Enjoyed the Fusion, anyway, but it definitely had it's share of issues that shouldn't have been there.

I’ve owned a model Y for a year now. Today I test drove a Maché. Drives nice. The Mache’s cabin rides high so rolls on sharp turns at speed. The Tesla hugs the road no matter the speed and curve or approach. Start/Stop button in the Mache is silly. I didn’t like the Mache’s hood in my view. This review doesn’t stress the contrast of the truck size and height. Mache’s steering is super smooth and rides soft whereas the Tesla steering is more responsive and rides stiffer. I’m amazed how much I’ve adjusted to the minimalism of Tesla’s single screen. The Mâché’s dash is desperately busy, and unnecessarily so. The charging network with the Mache absolutely sucks. The single and most convincing reason not to own one. The same 7 hour road trip takes me an additional 50min of charging whereas it takes the Mache 12 hrs total. My friend with the Mache says he just can’t go on road trips without planning an additional 40% longer for charging.

We will be taking delivery of our Model Y next week. It's our third electric car (Model 3 and BMW i3). At this time and after watching this review I can't think of one reason for me to say "I wish I ordered the Ford M2, not the Tesla Mod Y). The Mod Y seems to handily beat the M2 when it comes to: - range - acceleration - cabin space - storage space - user interface - autonomy - quality of materials - design and style (that's subjective, of course) In fact, if it was 3 years ago when we took delivery of our Mod 3 and the only EV available to purchase at the time was the M2 (the Mod 3 or Tesla did not exist) would I buy a M2? Not likely. And this coming from someone who happily owned a traditional Ford Mustang up until a few years ago.

First you really need to consider that out of the box the Tesla was cool but had issues. It still had issues with form, fit and finish after 13 years. You are comparing 13 yrs of SW development to a fresh design. Considering that, the MME is very impressive. Let's get to some of the questions raised. Edmunds testing showed the Teslas generally did not meet their EPA range estimates. MME beat theirs. Efficiency was surprising good for the MME. If you plan to take trips in your EV, then the Tesla has the edge for now. There are a lot of stations in the "Ford Network" but because Ford doesn't control it, there are kinks in the handshake. I have got to believe that they will get worked out. So in my case I'll keep my Audi Q5 TDI (35 mpg highway) for road trips. I'll use the EV in town where I may never need more than an L2 charger in my garage. Also for now the $7500 tax credit is in play for the MME. Under that scenario, a MME would be the best play for me.
