One important thing Doug failed to mention is that the Mustang Mach-E currently qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit where the Tesla vehicles don’t. Technically the Mach-E GT costs much less than the model Y.

This is a pretty big omission. He actually says the Mach-E is slightly cheaper than the Y when driving the car but I think he accidentally misspoke (correctly) around the 15:00 mark. With the tax credit, this car should get an extra pt in that Doug Score

Eh... People who don't understand why handling matters, quite frankly, aren't car enthusiasts and they don't care about cars. They want a status symbol, another way to boast about the silly numbers game the car world has become. "My car does 0-60 in XX seconds, my car does the quarter mile in XX seconds, and my car fits my massive cock too!" And of course, they never EVER enjoy the car's handling capabilities or characteristics, they drive it from point A to B and that's it. If they drive a miata, they're gonna complain that it's too small, too slow, and/or not worth the price. They don't care, they just want to use them as transportation with the added bonus of fashion or flaunting wealth.

A Challenger Hellcat or Raptor in the hands of a normal person isn’t a performance car any more than a Camry or base model RAM is, yet that’s mostly who’s buying them, in my area at least.

Can you blame them though? You have to understand what type of people will be buyng theese cars and what people would buy an actual mustang. Just imagine a random girl with a kid coming up to you while you are getting out of a 2015 mustang sayng "hey, i have a mustang too!" And showing you this thing. Its infuriating because it doesnt actually represent what a mustang has always been known as, and while the car itself might not be bad, it's still not what the badge claims. Any other name could have made this a really well recieved SUV from the car community and they went ahead and did this as a marketing trick, wich car people logically took as an insult to the legacy of the mustang.

Most "spot" races happen from 40 to 50 mph on and instant torque is one hell of a thing......miss that grunt and noise of my Cobra Jet.....440 Coronet......454 Chevelle.....and 455 GS......but that Mustang and Tesla would blow their doors off.....quietly....LOL

I would say cars like the Camaro are going to get a bit of a bump in sales thanks to this move. To me it doesn't make since, I'm a purest when it comes to cars, and many of the mustang target market for the last 56 years are as well. I.e. the manual transmission crowd. Like I said cool idea as far as the car itself is concerned, horrible marketing idea and really not needed. There is a huge market for EVs already, no need to be controversial about it. Just my opinion. I know for me if I want a mustang ill just buy any generation but this one and if I want an EV this new "mustang" won't be in the running thanks to this ridiculous marketing technique. Call me petty if you want but I'll throw money at a tesla before this thing just out of spite and I'm a Ford fan boy. I have owned and enjoyed 2 F-250s, 1 expedition, 1 focus, 1 F-150 and 2 mustangs.

It's pretty well documented that Tesla is overpromising and Ford, under on their mileage ranges.

[@JB-yw2im]

One thing Doug doesn't mention is the recharging network. More specifically, Ford doesn't own or control any public chargers, and as MKBHD demonstrated, in some cases, Ford (and other makers) will show public chargers that simply don't work upon arrival, which can be much more disturbing than longer than average wait times for scheduling non-urgent maintenance. On the contrary, Telsa owns, operates and monitors its own Supercharger network, and simply put, when you arrive at a Supercharger, you can feel confident that the chargers will work. To me, this is a big advantage in favor of Tesla. Yes, most people don't often travel long distances, but I'm willing to bet that this advantage is why so many people choose the Y in favor of this car.

[@chartreux1532]

@@robob221 Depends on the country. Here in Germany there are less Tesla Charging Station than the ones that work for all other electric cars. So the infrastucture regarding charging stations is coming along very well here in Germany & Tesla doesn't have the best charging network anymore. The Argument regarding Charging Stations seems to be mostly coming from the US and especially the UK where finding a Tesla Charging Station seems to be very easy while not so much for other electric cars. But it definitely is not the case here in Germany. Which is probably also why i keep seeing more and more Audi, Mercedes, VW, Opel, BMW electric cars week by week, but of course also a lot of Teslas, but they definitely aren't the "most common electric car" you see here in Germany

@@robob221 I experienced the Mach E charging "tragedy" at least 5 times this summer on extended road trips and I am alive to talk about it. Spoiler alert - it was flawless other than having to find a slightly altered route through West Virginia. Charging isn't that different from a Tesla. -Especially for as infrequent most people need to charge away from home. If you live in an apartment, different story. Buy a Tesla (still depends on where you live though - my area has more non-Tesla super charging locations that Super Chargers). If you are able to install a Lvl 2 charger at home, charging should be similar and I advise people to consider other pro/cons first. Might be odd that Doug didnt mention it but also refreshing because it's not as big of a factor as Tesla owners want everyone to believe.

Granted no problems have ever disabled their vehicles, but they will drive around with them broken for 2 months waiting to get a cracked moonroof glass fixed for $2000.

Tesla charges ridiculous premiums, beyond even that of Porsche, for things like replacement suspension, brakes, glass, wheels and tires. The worst part is there is no aftermarket so you have to purchase from Tesla, and the lead times for parts can be months. This was even before the pandemic.

I’ve had one for a while now and it is magical. A friend of mine has the corresponding Tesla. The difference in mileage numbers is an illusion from Tesla.

So, Ford is actually better range unless you tolerate battery damage in the Tesla

I'm glad both vehicles exist. I think if you are going longer distances the extra range is nice but the Supercharger network is an even bigger benefit. The various chargers used by the Ford are not nearly as good. Also, I have heard a few issues where Ford dealers are just unable to repair the EVs. They don't have tooling, replacement parts, or knowledge and I'm not entirely convinced the Ford model is better for EVs.

Tesla owner here. I agree completely with Doug that while the Tesla is fast, handling is okay, and there's no "soul". My M3 is much slower however the "feel" of the car and how it communicates to the driver, in addition to the excellent handling, are two major ingredients that define a sports car. Some Tesla owners remind me of muscle car owners who's only trick is to go fast in a straight line. It's fine if your into that sort of thing, but they are incomplete and get decimated on the track by slower but better handling cars. Most Tesla owners I know have never owned a real sports car before, most of them have only owned SUVs. Tesla service is hit and miss. For the most part, the Tesla service is significantly better than any other service from many other brands. I've owned just about every brand out there. Recently though Tesla hasn't been great at getting my car serviced quickly, and even refusing to do repairs. E.g. my Car is a year old, 10k miles, always garaged, and the door seals were falling off and literally crumbling to the touch. It was a fight to get them to replace them.

[@mikemccormick8115]

Biggest reason for me to own this vs Tesla is old fashioned customer service. You can call the Ford dealership, speak with a human being, talk about what you need (eg., for maintenance or service), make an appointment, and when you walk in they are expecting you and know what your car needs AND you get serviced and out the door that day. Not so with Tesla (according to friends I have owning Teslas). Its all tap tap tap online for 15 minutes, and when you walk in, they don’t know who you are and what you need. You have to watch a tech guy tap tap tap for 15 minutes and then, most likely, he tells you they can’t do anything at the moment. Aggravating. Giving up a minuscule amount of performance and range is well worth it in order not to have to jump through the Tesla hoops of inconvenience.

But in the corners, my heavily modified 2009 Mazdaspeed 3 was far better (due to Downforce, tires, suspension). That being said, the EV AWD rips you out of the turns, so it's just a matter of aiming the car to get on the power as fast as you can. The BIG problem with the Mach-E GT is that it overheats and gets slow VERY easily. So while it may "drive better," the model Y Performance will DESTROY the Mach-E GT on track or extended aggressive driving. Out of Spec Motoring shows this issue really well, and successive acceleration runs causes the car to get MUCH slower very fast. So you're right, Doug. The 0-60 does not indicate "Performance." It has to be a combination of things. Brakes are another weak spot of the Model Y performance. They overheat long before the car does. I don't think it's been an issue on the Mach E GT, because the Rear Motor over heats long before the brakes! To make a car with really good REAL PERFORMANCE, it need acceleration, handling, and longevity. I'll be curious to see if BMW gets this combination right with their i4. That all being said, in the real world, both the Model Y performance and Mach E GT are great cars to drive, and for customers, it'll likely come down to other factors, such as styling, charging ecosystem, etc. Keep doing what you do, Doug, I watch every video!

Ford should have called it the Model T GT to make Tesla annoyed

Or just call it a edge

Tesla doesn't care what 10 years behind companies do.

Totally agree on the maintenance support side. Hard to beat what’s been going for a long time

“Not a Mustang” people are so insufferable. If Ford says it’s a Mustang then it’s a Mustang. Just because you don’t like the Star Wars sequels doesn’t mean they aren’t Star Wars. (I don’t like the sequels)
