My buddy has a Mach-E, he gets a call from Ford every 6 months asking him to book his oil change. Wish I was kidding

Good review...as a Mach E owner for 2 years....but there were some mistakes that should have been My Mach E did qualify for the $7500 tax credit....I received mine. 2) You didn't show apple/android car play....which is a huge game changer. They work seamlessly. Tesla doesnt even offer that, which is very annoying. 3) You didn't truly use Bluecruise. When your on a approved Bluecruise highway...the small screen changes to all blue background...then you can truly go hands free. The status you were in showing is Bluecruise on non approved streets or highways...which warns you every 10 seconds to keep your hands on the steering wheel just in case. 4) As far as charging network...you are correct...right now Teslas charging network is the best. But it will be a mute point in a couple of years...as Tesla is partnering with other manufacturers at making the Teslas NAC charger the standard. So all cars will be able to use the Teslas super charger network very soon. In turn this will piss off alot of Teslas owners as this will be a problem when other car manufacturers will be taking up two spots at charging stations. Reason being the short cable lengths on Tesla charging stations. As far as the Mach E it is a much higher quality made car then the Tesla...the only advantage Tesla has right now is the charging network and they are ahead the autopiloting driving. But Ford and the other car manufacturers are not far behind. To be honest...other car manufacturers are car makers...they live and breath quality...Tesla is a technology company making a car....technology first....quality second. Other than that...im glad that this was a honest review from a Tesla owner.

I test drove a Mach E Premium yesterday. The Infotainment screen was nearly instant, no delays like this video shows. More importantly the ride and build quality were noticeably better than the Tesla Model Y.

[karlconnell]

My wife has a Mach-E and I have a Tesla Model Y and I really like them both a lot. They both have more strengths than weaknesses and each are very good in their own right. I will say I have been incredibly impressed with the Mach e build quality, and battery performance has been very similar between the two given both are long range versions. I’m a tech-gadget guy so I love the Tesla along with its styling whereas my wife wanted something that wasn’t as big of a leap from an ICE vehicle but had strong tech features as well, and the Mach e delivered on those attributes in spades. You can’t go wrong with either really but cudos to Ford for making a great EV (just remove the Mustang please 😊)!

[jokulhaups]

One thing that makes the Mach-e a front trunk more usable than teslas not mentioned is that it’s drainable, making it useful for tailgating or just an extra ice cooler

[FearceVillage]

I love mine, also I like how the frunk is a cooler that drains when the ice melts.

[dotsmada]

Biggest problem with getting this car is that you will need to go through a dealership.

[danjanulek]

The first EV I ever test drove was a Mach E, it was nice and impressive. I then decided to try a Tesla before buying a Mach E since they had been making them for a while longer. I was immediately convinced the model Y was so much more refined. I own a model y now.

[travelbydragonfly]

My biggest gripe with my model Y is that there essentially is no blindspot warning. It still is up to the driver to determine from the display, whether the car you see is far enough back to change lanes. Also, after 2 weeks of ownership, I still have nothing, nada, zip for parking assist. My 6 year old Nissan did a much better job of both blindspot monitoring and parking assist. It's a good thing that it is damn fun to drive.

[nasapps]

So much easier to read and drive than a Tesla! Love it! Tried it out myself. The benefit of the screen is that it is a better read (larger fonts, better colors) than what Tesla offers but really - you should not compare to Tesla but to ICE: wow, then it really is an improvement above anything else! Thanks for the test!

[MrMsowers]

I own a Mach e gt performance. That was a very fair and balanced review.

[theproffessional]

I have actually driven the Mustang Mach-e and I've confirmed blue cruise works on any road, but you are required to keep your hands on the wheel for roads that are not pre-mapped, you can take your hands-off with eyes only on pre-mapped roads

[ducatiduke]

For a first mass level EV, (for a legacy carmaker), bravo! Well done! Keep up the great work Ford! The best is yet to come!

[chrisr.]

Thank you for the really helpful review! I’m pretty sure a Mach-E Premium AWD will be my next car. Since I’m not in any hurry I can plan the purchase and this review helped identify some of the little things that may annoy me just enough to make me regret an early purchase. The UI lag is a big one. I wish they could figure out how to allow a user to have a top tier smartphone plugged into the vehicle to provide some processing for the vehicle. I have heard Ford experimented with user downloaded updates from home and love the idea of less service appointments. Thank you again for a great review and I very much appreciate some of the really informative comments it inspired!

The Mach-E is a perfect blend of comfort and technology.🤩

[jackknife]

The only argument I have about the scroll wheel is my wife often tries to change the volume as a passenger and always miss presses due to bumps, so that's where a tactile wheel would work, but I wouldn't say I like it

[EnthusiastCarHangar]

I tried it as well before deciding to buy a Model Y. Wasn’t a fan of the interior and the screens. Also Mach E and especially the GT sit lower to the ground than the Model Y which is no good for where I live. I did like her exterior of the Mach E and the ride comfort. Biggest con is they the Ford did not have a heat pump and many customers complained about a cold cabin and battery drain in a cold climate.

[schism]

As somebody who works for Tesla, literally driving 30+ a day 5 days a week, and owns a Mach E as a daily driver, I can assure you that Tesla screens have a lot of lag time depending on the vehicle. Even sometimes with the 2023 S and X the screen lag is terrible. I personally use the knob on the screen in my Mach E FAR more than the steering wheel controls. The ability to use the knob for all of my HVAC, and Heated seats controls, etc. were a very welcome update too. I also think the materials used in the interior of the Mach E is far nicer than the Tesla as well. I use the propulsion sound as it helps prevent me from speeding. The heads up display instrument cluster can be changed so that you have a actual 3D graphic that appears around the speed. The back up camera has another view similar to the Tesla if you don’t want to use the 3-D. Over head view.

I test drove a Tesla model y and was immediately unimpressed and ended up getting the mach e awd ER, no complaints! Great video

[MachE_VLOG]

Nice overall review and pretty darn fair assessment. (BTW, your channel was one of our inspirations when we started our Mach-E channel. Great work!)
