I see it all the time, people pick on teslas for their seat, mirror and glove box through the screen. Profiles are in the cloud, meaning I can get into any model y and my setting will automatically be applied. I have had a model y for 12 months and my wife and I have not once needed to adjust anything. It's a genuine smart car. And when was the last time you opened a

Fascinating how far ahead tesla is in terms of efficiency. Mach E, with a 25% bigger battery, only barely exceeds the Model Y (RWD)'s real world range

[CoachAli]

Big thanks to you gents! I was leaning towards buying a Mach E but you've convinced me to go with the Model Y with your comprehensive comparison 👍

[jarrodhilton]

Great review. The Mustang looks really good. But the review pushes me towards a Tesla. I am a Tesla model y owner 2022 Y and I purchased one for the price of energy over price of fuel for my long commutes to work per week. The display has got a lot better since the last updates, high beam is now awesome and increases the vision prior to standard headlights. Like a phone you need to know where to find things and once you do, it becomes natural and being close to you you’re not out of distance to m scroll, as well as being able to add favourites to your screen. I found rear window fine.
My dislike it the turning circle.

[gaurav]

Thanks for the comparison.
The Ford seems a just little worse than the Tesla in almost evey single aspect. (Except the range perhaps, but Model Y LR - which would've represented a fairer comparison given the Mach E's price - would do much better there)
With Tesla's supercharging advantage, Model Y is the clear winner for me.

Like it or not, the wood on the dash is actually real (the white interior doesn't get it though). It comes up pretty well with wood furniture polish 🙂. Thankfully it's gone in the new Model 3 'Highland', so presumably days are numbered in the Model Y also.

[denniskousto]

Hey, I thought the 2024 Tesla doesnt have parking sensors, just camera.. or is that the model 3 only? I test drove the 3 LR, went well. but the BYD is better.

[FJRDavid]

Good review overall, too many numbers sometime (hard to compare with) but globally nice to watch thanks.

[Digwind]

They both look great in Red! I think Model Y is a better all-around car though. Thanks Drive team for this comparison.

[CanisoGaming]

Nothing beats a model Y, most practical, safest car, & getting better over time (as any other tesla). Ford still has a way to go, but they're on the right track

[BaconSandwich]

You have to look across and down to see your speed on every Tesla. Why no heads up display on cars that are supposed to be tech heavy?. At least the Mustang has a sort of instrument screen in your line of view..that’s not enough to forgive it for butchering a classic name though.

[gadgetmeister]

I own the Y, and drove the Mustang Mach-e in NZ for a week.

So much missing in the Ford.

[allanchapman]

BYD Seal rear wheel drive better value in every way.

[joetz]

He gave his height in centimeters
What the hell is a centimeter?

[sebastianmessina]

I am currently driving from the Sunshine Coast to Broom and back in my 2013 FJ Cruiser towing our Jayco caravan. I top up in 5 minutes including credit card payment not stupid app payment. This trip is impossible in an electric venicle.

[ddtczzj]

They’re both overpriced disposable junk cars.

[chucknorris]

Yeah nah no thanks. Loses 50% value the moment you drive it out of the showroom. Quite literally in today's market too.

[Barry-]

Overrated and overpriced. Bad investment on any EV cars. Those guys here reviewed any ev car, has no understanding of resale and the high cost of living in Australia.

[DropBear]

I am still in two minds if all-electric vehicles really are the true long-term replacement for ICE vehicles, particularly when fossil fuels still produce the bulk of the world's electricity supply that powers the manufacture of, and fuel for, EVs. I would rather see manufacturers invest in fuel cell vehicles. Having written that, a really good comparo guys - well done.
