10,000 Miles in the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E | Long-Term Test Update | Highs, Lows & More!

It’s been just over 12 months and 10,000 miles since our 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium RWD joined the Edmunds long-term test fleet. In this video, we tell you all about our experience with Ford’s electric SUV so far, from the range we’ve seen to the interior’s giant touchscreen. Edmunds’ Brian Wong takes you through our first year with the Mustang Mach-E in the video above!

Rather than talk about important items like reliability, safety, comfort, cost, depreciation, build quality, and durability you spend most of the time talking about the touch screen, Apple carplay, button placement, map integration, and the stereo. You're buying a car, not a computer on wheels!!

i owned a 2021 and then traded it in for a 2023 gtpe and on neither of them I have ever had the system default to blasting heat (had 22k miles on the 2021 at trade in and almost 5k miles on the 2023 gtpe). One note for anyone looking into this or even another EV i recommend getting the awd I personally think it helps so much with the added weight of the batteries in all aspects from starting stopping and drive feel.

I’m about to pick one up with the exact same spec (white on white, Premium trim), BUT with AWD.
Also 2021, and only 11, 500 miles on it (yes, 3yrs old and only 11k miles).
Looks and feels brand new, but costs a whole lot less than when new. No accidents, local vehicle.
Had a great long (~50mi) test drive today, city and hwy, used BlueCruise and everything worked great. Mint condition.
Also test drove the Ioniq 5 (2022 with 8k miles) and ID4 (new 2023) in the last 10 days. Mach-E hands down the best value for a fully loaded used EV. On new ones for 48 months, 0.99% lease rates are offered as well.

My first 10, 000 was pretty similar, but I would add that PAAK is still a mess. It sometimes takes me 4-5 pushes of the door button to open the door, and about 1-2 times per month I get the dreaded “no key detected” and have to enter my very long back-up passcode. It does ride very stiff so look elsewhere if you want comfort. Bluecruise struggles to stay in the center of the lane and constantly bounces back and forth. It also gets very close to other cars causing me to keep my hands on the wheel. Sensors need major improvement. Lastly, my lights occasionally stay on long after my car was turned off. Apparently, Ford has released a bulletin on this, so my dealer has ordered me a new light control switch. Other than that, it’s really fun to drive!

I love my 2022 Mach-E, that UI update is a game-changer, once they added the ability to use the volume knob to control the temperature, fan speed, and heated seats there's no need to even take your eyes off the road when driving.

One note to this video, the Mach-E unfortunately only qualifies for a $3, 750 tax credit because the batteries are made outside of North America.

It's an amazing car though, I also overpaid for mine (although it was after Ford intervened so "only" 5K over) because unfortunately we all overpaid for cars in 2022; aside from that, zero regrets, I've had it for almost a year and I find it as fun and exciting today as I did the day I bought it.

[dylanreed]

Ha, you can buy a low mileage now for 27K

2 years 3 months and 46, 000 miles on my Mach E4x and just $20 spent for tire rotation. I love not having to take it in for maintenance and stopping at gas stations every week

[AdamJakowenko]

I have a 2021 First Edition Mach-E and its probably the best car ive ever owned. But i do have all the latest Sync software updates and they really make a big difference to the daily user experience, so i hope you get it soon on yours. Also, when you take it in for service, be sure to ask the dealer to "Use FDRS to update the BCM snd GFM modules to the latest version, then run the routine to add the front trunk release soft button to the Sync screen". This is not coming OTA to the 2021s and dealers will not do it by default unless you ask. This will not only give you a frunk trunk open button on your screen, but will enable you to use an F150 Lightning key fob to pop open the frunk remotely. I just did this and it makes using the frunk so much easier.

The dealer markup is really hurting sales and reputation. After buying two new Fords in the last decade, we just bought a new Tesla Model Y and I'm thinking strongly about trading my Fusion in for another Tesla.

[ranger]

Couple of glaring errors. Tax credit is only $3750 and it's NOT built in the USA. C'mon guys. You can surely do better research.

[jamesjudd]

I like how you guys have combined each of your inputs. Well done.

[erock]

Correction: The Mach-E does not qualify for the full $7500 federal credit. Only $3750.

The real world range is crazy good compared to rated

[heardbutnotseen]

Why is your review only focused on the screen and car play? Come on. We want to know about the reliability of the car and it's range.

[matthewnelson]

That list of top AWD EVs is hilarious. Nice, guys.

[dzerres]

You had a choice and you chose the RWD?

[Deadpool]

That $60k price tag is crazy I'm seeing 2021 mach e with 10k miles on them in Houston area selling for $30k

[miguelbaeza]

It's assembled in Cuautitlán, Mexico. City just north of Mexico City.

[thegreeneyej]

Where is it assembled ? Mexico right?
