#ford #MustangMachE #ev
I was really interested in the Mach E when we started EV shopping but the price was a little more than I was looking to spend at the time (at least here in Canada). Appreciate this honest look at the car and some of the areas of improvement!
Prices in Canada have come down and Ford seems to be offering a 4.99% loan. I might dive in finally.
The MachE is a luxury car compared to the spartan feel of a Model Y.
Just watched your video. Let Alyssa know, you don’t need the key to remain in the vehicle if you want to leave the HVAC System running. You simply, get out the vehicle without Turing it off and lock it. The vehicle is locked and the HVAC will remain running for 30 minutes. You can disable the 30 minute auto off feature as well through settings. If someone were to break into the vehicle while it’s running and the key isn’t present, they wouldn’t be allowed to put it into gear. Even if it was unlocked, no key present, no shifting gears. Owners of Mach-E use this technique for camping, looks like it’s working pretty good. I agree, it’s much simpler in the Tesla, but there’s an option in the Mach-E.
They listened and fixed this in the latest FordPass app.
I do agree about the pricing... if I had to do over and knew that the Model Y pricing was going to come down so much, I probably would have gone with the Model Y. The Mach E though is MUCH more comfortable than the Model Y. The idea about state of charge and it automatically turning on climate control when you unlock the car is an AMAZING idea. I also agree the 5 second full power with the Mach E is horrible... I HATE it! You also hit the nail on the head, this is my first EV car so I don't know any better as far as charging times. I really don't understand the suspension gripe though... it seems to handle well and the car feels quite settled. I also agree about the knob, I wish we actually had physical buttons though. I don't like finger prints and having to wait on software in order to make changes.
Without software there are NO changes. The car you buy stays the same forever. Meanwhile Tesla cars get better.
The comfort issue is fixed for 2023 on Model Y. The comfort suspension is better than Mach E bouncy suspension now
The Mach-E is (arguably?) the best "divert an ICE design to EV in mid development" attempt, but it still looks (and performs) like an ICE design diverted in mid development!
@@chrisak49 see I just don’t think the MME is bouncy
@@97JoMillerYou are probably just used to the bouncy unsettled rear suspension on the Mach E.
Walked out to my 2021 Mach e and no light flashes... no horse on the ground... key fob didn't work... door panel unlock didn't light up... STUCK! And towing is a problem as back wheels are locked. Fun day!
You make some valid points, however not everyone wants or envies a Tesla. For me and my usage, the only reason to own a Tesla is the charging network. No other reason.
A couple of things besides the looks that the Mach-e offers and the Tesla does not. I like having a driver info screen in the Mach-e that's directly in front of the driver. Also, the Mach-e supports Apple CarPlay which in MHO is a deal breaker for the Tesla. One change I'd like to see is a subjective one and one that would require a re-design of the dash. I really like the screen layout in the 2024 Mustang (gas) or the screen layout found in the European EV Explorer (which has a movable/adjustable info screen).
Just picked up a 2023 Mach E GT for just over 49k out the door. The 0% Apr offer brought me in and those dealerships want to move those sitting units lmao.
We have a 2023 Mach E Premium rear wheel drive with the standard battery. I have noticed that if you have the recycled air on that sometimes the vent opens while still showing closed. Why?
The vents in the front is made to cool the intercoolers when using the AC or charging on a hot day
I haven't been convinced with Ford EV's. I believe a cooling system needs to be installed to the battery pack to improve longevity and range.
Ford needs to move the charge port door to the left rear, same as Tesla.
my old gas car buddies would have no idea what you are even saying LOLOLOL Upvoted!!!
biggest issue is they don’t qualify for tax credits anymore
Is ford still using PTC heater or heat pump?
I live in North Carolina and never see these on the road. I see a lot of Tesla cars though. Tesla must be doing well.
Feels like this video basically told me... Buy the Model Y.
You keep comparing to a Model Y but actually the Mustang has NEVER been a SUV. MUSTANG is a sports sedan and it more competes with the Model 3, IMHO.
Ford should just drive a Tesla for 6 months just for the user experience. Little things like holding the temp to turn the hvac on and off. The intuitive stuff!
Or even pressing the scroll button and saying "Aircon off"?
Why don't you invest in a reusable cup for your drinks?
Helll no. I would much rather have a button than to have nothing
I have two complaints. 1st. During my conversation with the salesman. I informed him I DO NOT have a CELL PHONE. After I purchased the car and drove it home. I need a CELL PHONE to use outside chargers.
2nd. In all the electric cars I drove. The speedometer in off to the side. ??? flashes of orange showing I am not exactly in center of the lane. That is MORE important than my speed.
How do you not have a cell phone but yet got as far as purchasing an electric car? That is astonishing.
I use my landline phone. I do not need to be bothered as I am out int eh world. I @@aceheru7855
I seen to many accidents because they were on their cellphone.
@@aceheru7855 It was not until I purchased the Mach - E that the salesman informed me I need a smartphone to connect to the charging stations.
Just listening to this and your comment about the cool handles and how well door opening Works… My Mach-E has been in the shop for one month because a PCB controlling the opening (seems there is one by door) in the rear passenger door shorted out and burned itself after a charge cycle on my home level 2 charger. When that happens the door cannot be opened from in OR outside of the car. The Ford dealer I went to had to destroy the interior of the door to get to the latch. I think it’s worrysome that doors can become inoperable. And one month to change a part? Silly.
Hopefully when Ford’s GE2 platform replaces the GE1 platform under the MachE many of these issues will be resolved. Unfortunately that isn’t coming until 2025, at the earliest. And then it will initially be for Explorer/Aviator/3-row SUVs. Next generation MachE isn’t likely before 2026. With GE1 production costs so high the MachE sales will continue to fall until then. Going with the MachE was a great move initially but they are just moving too slow. The next few years will likely be rough for them, especially outside the US. Hopefully the GE2 & TE/T3 platforms are well designed and significantly lower cost to build. They can’t afford any more self inflicted wounds.
Just imagine where Tesla will be by then, too - nobody else is standing still
Tesla will have their next-gen “un-boxed” platform for smaller vehicles by then. The 3/Y prices won’t go too much lower. As costs go down they will take larger margins instead. But by the time MachE and their larger vehicles are getting closer to price competitiveness Tesla will be going after their high volume Escape/Kuga & F-Series. Like I said the GE2 & TE/T3 platforms must be significant improvements just for them to minimize the overall market share losses that are coming for all OEMs.
The loss of money Ford will have to until 2026 is mind blowing in the billions. They did it to to themselves. Everyone was laughing at Tesla but now everyone wants to be them...
I've had my Mach E GT for about 18 months now and, while is absolutely the best car and my favorite car that I've ever owned or routinely driven in my nearly 30 years as a driver, there are definitely areas for Ford to improve upon, which you covered. When I bought my mach-e, the price difference between it and Tesla wasn't so dramatic, but I would have gone with Mach E anyway. I much preferred the fact that the Mach E had more physical buttons, and I preferred the mach E's screens. It is also much more attractive to me. I literally grin when I see my car, even a year a half later. It's not perfect but I love it. I did have my HVJB fail last summer. I also want to mention that when I was deciding which EV to buy, I found your videos absolutely invaluable, so thank you!
If people want the best EV experience, they buy a Tesla.
@@shou635 Yep, for some people it's the best car they've ever owned but they've never owned a Tesla. Ignorance is indeed bliss :).
That happiness just looking at your car gives you is my goal with everything I own lol. Marie Kondo everything.
@@shou635the best ev experience is relative to the person. Personally I don't like Teslas.
Your reasoning is exactly why I’m considering the Mach-e but likely used due to the price.
You can already leave the AC running without keeping the car running. Just press de stop/start without pressing the breaks.
My bestie's Mach-E had that junction box failure and left him stranded. Ford didn't have a rental so he went and rented a Model Y from Hertz...He ordered a Model Y to trade in in his Mach-E for a Model Y as soon as he got his Mach-E back. He had various other small issues with his Mach-E that was just made more annoying by having to deal with Ford's dealerships. Ford would constantly tell him the ONE technician certified would always be out when he needed to get service done. Not that Tesla service is anything to write home about, but at least Tesla knows how to service their own EVs.
Exactly! Dealerships. They are the problem with vehicle ownership across the board! It doesn't matter what you have, the dealership makes owning a car horrible. The majority of the sales force doesn't know much about their product. They can be selling paperclips for all they care. And there's service departments that aren't properly trained either. It's unfortunate they have such huge lobbying power in this country. They make it impossible for progress to happen.
@@jeffs6090 yeah i despise musk, but overall love tesla and my model 3. they get the important EV aspects of EV ownership right. i like a lot of the new EVs hitting the market too, but dealing with horrible dealerships doesn't make me all that excited to switch to an EV from a "traditional" automaker.
What's wrong with elon? U coping on his price discounts???😂😂😂
Oh yeah, all of those Tesla "dealerships", where are they again? Every town has a Ford dealership, and yeah, they employ Americans who still think Mach e is a "crazy car", that will change when EVs are the norm. The average American thinks that electric vehicles are on the way out, the fad is over. Unfortunately, many of those work at Ford dealerships. Jim Farley is a smart guy and I'm sure he knows this and understands that this is an obstacle to them becoming really successful.
Guinea pigs get treated as such smh 🤣😆
I just want to say as one of the original 2021 Mustang Mach E owner...you have hit this review out of the park. Everything you mentioned I have experienced and agree needs to be addressed and also love the things that Ford brings to the EV space with the Mach E. Love this video and love ❤️ my Mach E to death!! 😊
Why aren’t the side view mirrors color coded to body. I don’t want them standing out. Yes, I know making all black saves money.
Ford, please get rid of that nuisance start/stop button. EVs don’t need it.
Also the actual mirror of the side mirror assembly is comparatively small. Not a fan of the design.
If the price was $63k that would be bad enough but the dealers are marking it up. And they wonder why they have a 90 supply. Price price price. The dealer networks are killing the big three and they have union contracts coming up for renewal.
Out here in the TMZ the dealers are over-flowing with them. Hope Ford drops their dealers and sell like Tesla.
@@Dive-Bar-Casanova it’s unlikely that Ford is going to get rid of the dealers anytime soon there are laws in virtual every state protecting them. Their only choice is going to be to start a new company and then sell direct.
@@stevenichols4639
They'll have difficulty starting a new company before they're making any profit on EVs. That's going to be at least 2026 (they have to ramp the factory)
$10k more for a Mach E over Model Y before dealer markup is hilarious. This before mandatory dealer add-ons
@@Dive-Bar-Casanova In many states like Florida and Louisiana they can't.
It's funny how these reviews and comments constantly talk about software. Do you guys ever drive the vehicles? Does it corner well, how are the brakes, is it sporty, how direct is the steering and does it provide nice feedback etc.
I drove my friends Polestar 2 BST the other day - it was amazing, I didn't even notice the the lack of an ICE. It was a great sporty ride.
I’m glad this popped up as a suggested video. Just bought my Mach-e this weekend. So much to learn as a first time EV owner. I appreciate this content. 😊
I have this exact car but a 22’. Pretty much agree with most everything but a couple exceptions and additions to improvements.
My roads in Arkansas are pretty good so I really don’t find the suspension to be as much of an issue and I push it pretty hard on some winding roads. Love the interior, sound system, and build quality. Everything feels good in the vehicle. Biggest plus for many customers like me (in a more rural area) is I have a local Ford dealer for service. If I bought a Y I’d have to go 250-300 miles away to get to a service center. That played a factor in my decision. IMPROVEMENTS: My app hasn’t worked correctly for 9 MONTHS (since I bought the car) and Ford still can’t get plug and charge to work with my car! It’s been escalated 5 times and still nothing, so that’s not good. The app and the UI is missing so much info EV drivers want to know. The Tesla app and UI tell you everything such as how much money you’ve saved by driving an EV. Give us all the nerdy data! All in all I really like my MME. Get my app working, give us a few software updates to fix a few minor complaints, and get me my NACS adapter and I’ll be happy. Solid review guys!
The most concerning aspect of buying a Mustang Mach E for me is that the manufacturer, Ford Model E, is not producing the car at a profit. That fact is a huge yellow, if not a red, flag, and here's why I say that. I bought a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) that was not profitably being produced by the manufacturer, Hyundai, from 2016 to 2021 when it was discontinued. With just 17,000 miles on the odometer, and still under full warranty, the Li-ion battery failed. My car has been at a dealer service center for more than 6 months waiting for a new battery. I still have no idea when the car will be repaired and returned to me. If you buy an EV that is not being built profitably, there's a chance that support and service for the car will slacken or disappear altogether.
After some though, you are right that 1st time EV owners just do not know what an EV is capable of. In 2017, I tired of waiting for the Model 3 and bought a Model S. I paid a lot for the car and mine did everything I wanted with no comprises. I appreciated the car more over time because it continued to get better.. I have a 7 year old car that's more technically advanced than most cars made today. So many things I took for granted then is cutting edge today. The charging system and the ease of charging is unbelievable when you compare it to the big old complicated clunky crap that other makers have been forced to change because they failed to develop a charging network. My car is still like new. Many people still find it very attractive and it is the most fun car I have ever owned.
The Mach E looks so much better and entirely different in person than on videos and pictures. Battleship grey with the gloss black alloys really pops.
@@SunriseLAWif you want to keep your current car longer, I highly recommend that you do NOT test drive an EV. You will want one badly.
I don’t like it in black because it mitigates the sloping roofline look. The main design cue of this car is that roofline and it looks awesome. Black is a big no for me on this car.
I think styling and interface are the things that will keep the competition in the game against TESLA. The Y has the big advantage of the charging network right now, but on a daily basis, if you want to look at your car and feel satisfaction or you don’t like the minimalist interior and want a few knobs and buttons for quick adjustments, it might not meet your needs. I think the Y has become the practical choice because of charging and price, but it’s still a lot of money if it leaves you wanting. Most people will rarely need fast charging, but they might want a volume knob 10 times on every drive.
@@peterfessier9780 steering wheel has volume
@@SunriseLAW wow. You are a perfect candidate for an EV. Yes, batteries are improving over time, but they are quite good right now. I commend you for your willpower, but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed at all with most of the current EVs out there
I have a 2021 premium Mach E. I love it as a car, but Ford’s software and support is absolute garbage. I have to have mine until December due to Illinois incentives, but come Jan 1 when the tax credit comes off the prices of cars, I’m getting rid of it for something else with better software and support. This is my third Ford vehicle in a row and I’m probably never buying another one, the issues have been so bad
Ford doesn't service their products, independent franchise dealerships do, and not all dealerships provide great customer service. I'm now a Tesla owner and have only had good experiences with their service over the past 5 years.
@@MsAjax409 I’m referring more to their buggy software and terrible update process. Also, their completely inept customer service teams whenever you call with an issue. I’m not talking about crooked dealerships as much as I am the company itself
My daughter and I, did a zero to sixty demo drive at the New York Auto show. It was a sick experience, In a good way. My daughter loves the car, and so do I. It is just too expensive compared to the Tesla model Y and 3. Pricing and value for what you are paying is the driving factor in the EV market right now. There is an imbalance in pricing between Tesla and everyone else.
I think part of that is that the dealership keeps about 18% of the MSRP for themselves, and Ford is only getting $45,000 when the retail MSRP is $60,000. So Ford need to put the MSRP sky high for Ford to make any profit.
Tesla has their own dealership network, or customer pick up locations, so they pay the electric bill, rent the building, and little else. Pay the employees. So Tesla can deliver the cars and spend less than $5,000 per car delivery. That allows Tesla to have a MSRP about $10,000 just because the Ford dealership is making about $15,000 on each Mustang they sell! Yes even the gas ones.
“Sick in a good way” eh? Just say sick. We get it.
I've noticed a few reviewers getting ill or motion sickness from the sheer acceleration of these EV so I see where the comment about sick comes from.
How many people had to do buy back because Mach-E wouldn’t charge longer than 10 minutes, Ford had car for 3 months without a solution?
Good list, as a 2 year MME owner, I pretty much agree with everything said, especially on current pricing. I have a Premium AWD ER that I put GTPE wheels on and think it’s the perfect value/performance mix. I am not a fan of the Tesla Model 3 or Y styling and interior so would never buy one because of that but it’s hard to argue when they are SO much less expensive.
add: Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are SO much less expensive (due to scale and efficiency) and SO much more technologically advanced in both hardware and software. Why would one spend more money for an overall inferior (Ford) product? Because it looks better? Enjoy sitting in your overpriced but technologically inferior "nicer styled car with nicer interior".
I guess you prefer to Overpay for Ford junk because Ford Junk looks better, according to you.
@@NJPS2023 model 3 and y cheap compared to model x and s. All the money is in tech and giant I-pad . That’s nothing to brag about.🎉😢
Eric, the #1 reason my wife preferred (& paid the premium) over a Model Y is that the Mach-E by comparison is the more "car-like" BEV. Both of us find that whole Spartan thing unappealing.
@@lovswrI agree, people buy anything, two color options on seat, really u called that’s luxury. Coming from luxury buyers that’s cheap as hell. Remember when iPhones came out people jumped in line for one. It’s same thing with this cheap Tesla product.
One thing that the Mach-E has that Tesla still hasn’t grasped (and may only do so once the EU cracks down on them)
Tactile controls for basic functions.
Try and turn on the wipers (especially in the refreshed model 3)
A basic function like that should not be something that you have to “guesstimate” where it is
Blue Cruiz is great as long as your road is scanned on the map otherwise you cant even use a simple cruise control.
It's garbage.
You absolutely can use both regular and adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance on all roads, not just mapped highways.
19:00 - Anyone who says the Mach-E isn't a Mustang just needs to feel the suspension. :-D
I agree with some of your points. Some things can be tuned with Forscan (honk when closing the turned on vehicle, lights on remote start, etc). When you turned of the honking, you can also turn off the power down timer (30 minutes), lock the vehicle with the key from the outside and the vehicle keeps running. Used this already a lot of time when on vacation. My biggest complaint are actually the OTA updates in Europe. They really suck. My Job 1.5 (MY21) received the Power Up 3 last week. After 9 months without any update. It was more than 20 updates behind the US version. My car lease runs out in November next year. I'm not sure if I will ever see Power Up 4, if Ford keeps updating with that "pace". Actually in Europe we have a button on the key for opening the frunk. This button still does not work for my vehicle. The second thing which annoys me is the lack of charging information and also that there is no way to set a permanent charge limit. Other than that the vehicle looks nice, I like driving around with it, but (as you said) it is way too expensive for the given features. The charging curve is okay for me, I mean Ford was not hiding anything in the specs that the vehicle takes 45 minutes to 80%. Actually, 15 minutes charging stops are to short and annoying for me, has this with my Ioniq before.
You can stop the honks in Forscan, but you cannot get a properly-engineered junction box through it!
I agree with Alyssa, a version of Tesla's Dog Mode is really required. And to add to what Kyle was saying, there should be a "Leave Climate Running" switch when exiting the vehicle. While our 2021 ID4 doesn't have a "Dog Mode", it does have the ability to set departure time climate and charging AND a switch comes up on the display when exiting the car called "Immediate Climate" to keep the A/C running if you hop out for a few minutes. Love that feature here in the fiery low deserts of So. Cal.
Sounds like you like what Tesla has to offer.
Honestly, I don’t see why DogMode would be necessary when the Marc E provides the ability to just leave the vehicle on when you exit. Your AC will stay on whatever temperature you’ve left it at and the fan speed will continue to work at whatever fan speed you selected.
@@schism480 They explain the issues they have with it in the video. Its a a bad solution. Also, with dog mode in a Tesla it puts a big message on the screen with the current temperature inside the vehicle so that hopefully nobody smashes your window.
@@ultrastoat3298 Lol what!? The Mach E can be left on while you exit the vehicle. If you set your AC to 68° and your fan speed from 1-7 and exit the vehicle then The AC will continue to run at whatever you last had it or set it at, thus rendering a mode to specifically leave your climate running unnecessary.
@@schism480 take it up with Kyle and Alyssa. That’s not what they said.
Thank you for this assessment. My overall impression is that we are still early in the EV era. While I am not a Tesla fanboy, they obviously have more experience as an only EV manufacturer and appear to have better technology throughout their cars. The continual comparison to Tesla confirms that Tesla sets the standard. Price is also a very fair concern. Why would I buy a Ford at a $10k premium when I can buy a technologically superior Tesla for less? Ford has a way to go, but they have good leadership, and most of what you criticized here is fixable, so there are no overwhelming issues facing them. I hope Ford can become a strong competitor to Tesla. We need more competition and better quality to ensure that the transition from ICE to EVs is easy.
Yes let's bring on the CN brands to expedite
I bought mine specifically because it wasn't Tesla...eff Muskrat
Buying it because it's NOT a Tesla. Musk can suck it.
Two words why I would never buy a Tesla: Elon Musk. He is going to drive it into bankruptcy just like he is doing with twitter. The man is an ego maniac with no concern about his consumers.
@@wheelsee If the only reason not buying Tesla is Elon and you don't want be mainstream, then it's no wonder Model Y is outselling Mach E 10:1, I see a new Model Y every week in my town and I've only ever seen 2 Mustangs despite having a local Ford Dealer
Kyle, thank you for that great review and honest critique. I have a 2022 F150 lightning, and I love this truck. However, the software won’t update, and so far Ford does not have a solution for that. Also, they just issued a recall because the back up lights might get wet and short out. This has resulted in the vehicle being delisted from Turo. Do you have any contacts at Ford who might help with this? The regular channels have been a bust.
Ford dropped the ball on this one. I have a 21 Premium AWD and the software is a hot mess. Driving down the road and my screen reboots, that's not fun. Farley even admitted in an interview that they have different vendors for the computer modules in the vehicle. The vendors don't communicate so we have a ton of software issues. There's no way Ford can fix it all. The seats are just a few inches to long. My wife doesn't like to go on long trips because she's 5ft tall and has short legs. She can't put her legs straight down. Ford needs to get with the times. They put so much effort into showing you the radio, we should have a section that shows the current trip as well as the current stats from last charge. It should always be present high up (or let us configure it). The 2 things is miss from my ICE Caddy XT4 is the mag ride as you mentioned as well as a Head Up Display. Ford should actually do a buy back just because of the software. I don't want to wait 3 more years for them to fix everything. I'm so glad I still have my 2000 Trans Am Firehawk.
I’m looking at buying a brand new 2022 Mach-E Premium AWD for USD 34k plus tax. I think that’s a pretty good deal to not get a Model Y.
The trouble with Ford lowering the price is that they are already losing a lot of money on every Match E they sell.
They should never called that mustang.
@@ericsmoove2165
Donkey??
Yes but they overall are huge profitable as a company. Tesla was loosing money nonstop for years and funded by investors before finally turning a profit. Ford will be funded by their truck and fleet business as they scale volumes in EVs.
@@DarwinChaug Not that simple. Don’t know what Ford’s profits were, but in the first quarter Tesla came within an eyelash off making as much money as Toyota, with a little more than one tenth the sales volume. Point being traditional OEMs don’t have as many profits to prop up they EV losses as you think.
@@jayjohnson3732 not this quarter after cutting prices by 30%. More cuts coming. Remember we were in a car shortage. Margins will match Fords in short order.
I’m sure Tesla has its issues but things like failing high voltage junction boxes and poor thermal management really make me appreciate Tesla engineering
That's because this is their first major EV. Go back to the first Model S vehicles and Tesla had major failures of their suspension, of which they basically threatened to sue the people if they broke an NDA in order to get it fixed.
I wouldn't buy a Mach E period, but that's because I think Ford sucks all around. I don't have much faith in GM either, and buying an EV from a "move fast and break things" company who has intentionally not documented serious safety issues, doesn't inspire confidence either. Plus the CEO is a complete sociopath.
@@sprockkets good points until the end - thinking Elon is a sociopath indicates you are in a media bubble for NPCs and other shallow thinkers. I have faith in you being able to expand your thinking.
@@bartwaggoner2000 Good luck proving hie's not a sociopath - he's on record doing plenty to make other people's lives miserable for his enjoyment.

@@bartwaggoner2000 Sociopath: Symptoms may include disregard for others, a lack of empathy, and dishonest behavior.
1. Has no issues harming and killing animals under his company Neuralink (this actually is against the law).
2. Retaliates against individuals that report his terrible behavior and his lies he commits.
3. Has no problems knowing his company Tesla treats certain employees terribly.
4. Lied about holding his son as he died.
5. Didn't care about COVID restrictions
6. Nevada Tesla plant flaunted OSHA inspection and basically gets away with not being inspected for safety violations.
7. Intentionally does not keep records regarding safety issues with Tesla.
8. Beyond countless examples of tweets that show his hate of LGTBQ people, disenfranchised people, and instead falling for qanon bullsht.
You can go ahead and dispute these claims, but I think we all know calling someone an "NPC" is projection on your part. Esp since now it's been revealed Musk is now PAYING people to post bullsht on twitter in the thousands of dollars.
@@sprockketsokay son.
Every "recommendation" I am hearing here will DRAIN the battery faster. I don't agree that loading curves are "arbitrary". There must be a reason why charging behaves the way it does. Do I like that it will take 45 mins to charge to 100%? No, but will it keep my battery pack from degrading faster, last longer, and better quality? I might be ok with that. What are the tradeoffs. Reviews like this guy see cars as throw away after a year or two it seems. Instead of making requests for changes, perhaps if you told us WHY Ford does it this way and the reasoning of how that is improved would be a great perspective. The main thing holding me back is price.
I am mach e owner i went 6 times ford service center in 4month

- it that message pop up power
reduce and cannot select drive mode
6. Shit ford service
- they fking do not listen what customer’s said. They only said to me already check this problem it not pop up. They have only that dumb answer
Buying mach e is my worst choice in my life. Step away from mach e. Also, fking expensive charging fee. Please buy tesla and change suspension.
Mach e = good looking trash
There is a point or two you’ve made that is right on but most of this video comes across as a Tesla fan boy trying to find things to complain about. Kudos on the views you’ll get with the click bait title. Nearly every car reviewer that actually reviews cars talked about how much better of a ride this car is when specially compared to the Model Y. You guys really do not understand how to review actual cars and how they drive and Pet mode really WTF? Yeah the car honking is a bit of a pain damn near everything else is just silly complaints.
The extremely poor ota software updates should also be on the list.
Right, but hey, They say they can do it!
Pretty much the price is the huge thing.... but every other complaint is really just old-school car thinking that Tesla already showed how to do it properly more than a decade ago. Just copy Tesla.
I was considering selling my car for a 2021 mach e select with awd
As soon as I heard about a handful of them bricking themselves at 60 mph i was out
so it looks like the older Mach E's wont get BlueCruise 1.2... we will go straight to 1.3 by end of summer.
As a Mach E First Edition (Premium AWD) owner, I agree - the Mach E could use a price cut. A Mach E at $63k+ (or even ~$50k for a Premium AWD) is over-priced, just like most Tesla models.
The EV6 and Ioniq 5/6 are better cars for similar money.
The ride if this car is the worst I have ever seen on a modern production car, especially the rear suspension, which is over sprung and under damped. There are many threads all over the forums on the terrible suspension. It seems like there is also a lack of travel in the suspension and a lot of friction/resistance due to the type of bushings used. The ride gets scary if the bumps are timed the right way with some crazy oscillations. I think this is the number one flaw of the car and until ford fixes the bouncy suspension, they are going to have trouble selling these. It’s the number one flaw of the car in my opinion
Ive recently driven a Tesla Model 3 a few times, test drove a mach e premium with extended battery yesterday. I prefer the mach e when comparing them. Ive never driven a Model Y
I'm live in a suburb of Los Angeles. It seems like every 3rd or 4th car out on the road here is a Tesla model 3 or Y. I do not see many Mustang Mach E's.
tesla owners are confused lemmings
Doubt ford is gonna do anything until a refresh is coming in few years, its still missing a heatpump.
There is one issue you forgot that Ford needs to fix. They need to fix the $800 annual subscription for BlueCruise, which is a much inferior driver assistance system compared to the much superior $250 annual GM Super Cruise which works on way more roads than BlueCruise and even works while towing.
If I were to give a review of Mach-E it would be exactly what Kyle states in this video. It's a very good car that could be great if Ford listens to kyle. If someone is looking for an honest review of Mach-E this is the video to watch.
Clearly not Ford EV owner. Simply goto Ford Pass App to condition warm cool and any data you want.
I wish you would mention the video capabilities of the infotainment systems
Munro mentions the Mach E has way more motor- driveline - cooling parts than Teslas.
Remember the scene in Apollo 13 where the CO2 scrubber is failing, the guy points at a pile of stuff on the desk and says "we have to make one of these (filter), with that"....?
That's what happened with the Mach-E cooling system.
It's not really fair to talk about pricing between the Mach E and a Tesla model Y. The Mach E is just a more premium product inside and out and equipment and material wise, that's what the price reflects. It's like complaining an Acura TLX is costing more than a Toyota Camry.
great point 👍🏽
I dont know why anyone would buy overpriced junk when the Bolt EV is so amazing
Avid Mach-E Fan and owner here. Every point of criticism you had was spot on and expertly stated. Subscribed!
I just leased a mustang MachE last week and my biggest concern is going over the mileage limit on the lease already. I enjoy driving it so much.
One missing thing that I wished Kyle had mentioned is the missing kW rate during DC Fast Charging. It's not like the data isn't there; you can pull it off the OBD2 connector, so why no display that on the screen with everything else?
It can be viewed in the app
@@wheelsee that's true, so makes it even worse you can't view in the actual car
@@kenlhughes Unnecessary information cluttering the screen...nerd information like that is in the app if you want to see it.
@@wheelseeit should be visible in the car…. What if you don’t have data/service on your mobile
All black with a 5.0 coyote in it would be great.
How many of these complaints/comments could be eliminated if people would just read the manual and learn to use the UI of their car before spouting off about things.
Everyone seems to thing that Tesla is perfect, but honestly, it is the least intuitive interface of any vehicle I’ve ever driven, but Tesla drivers have taken the time to learn the features and the UI, so complaints are minimal.
The GT doesn’t have the same suspension as the Premium. It is a much firmer, tighter suspension setup. It eliminates the bouncing of the premium trim model, but it feels a lot more like a performance vehicle’s suspension would feel, which some may find harsh.
tesla/musk suck, get the Mach E, or any other EV
The HVJB issue and lackluster DC fast charging is why I recommend people not buy a MME when they ask.
Yea… so the Tesla is cheaper and better in so Mang ways…. I think I’ll take the tesla
It needs a heat pump. That would increase efficiency and perhaps be necessary for an effective pet mode.
It needs a redesign.
@@rogerstarkey5390Do you mean body style or mechanically or both?
@@peterfessier9780
Yes.....
Review was good! I have a 2021 premium and I haven’t had any issues with it. The tech is next level for ford and they have been great with their OTA updates and improvements. I can’t wait for the next generation to come out
Agree with you. I was going to buy a Mustang Mach E in Australia, but when Ford released the Price, it was just too expensive compared with the Tesla Model Y. The entry-level of the Mach-E cost 87K AUD and that is just an RWD model with a range of 470 KM. I can buy a Model Y Dual Motor with a range of 530 KM for 84K AUD. If Ford would offer the entry-level for 70K, I will probably buy it ( The Tesla Model Y RWD is 68K ) but charging 87K is just a really bad value.
I test drove a mach e, and my deal breaker is the screen. Because its the floating tablet thing, the lower left corner is positioned perfectly... to dig into the cartilage below my kneecap. No way I can actually get one.
Thanks Kyle for this follow up on Mach-E - we are finally adding a second EV this week - got $13k off a new 23 Mach-E premium ex awd - this will join our existing 22 Tesla model YLR which we love!
Fix the Problem of it looking Dumb.
Saw a tare down of the Mach-E battery. The high current conductor inside looks like a #6 awg wire, at 350Amps fast charging from my single free air temp rise table, theres a 200degC temperature rise above ambient.
From this type of thermal cycling the connections will get loose over time, over heat more, possibly case a fires down the road.
Ford cost cutting to save a few bucks on copper.
Recalls down the road?
Amazing
350A charging? The MME doesn’t support that high.
@@ericsmalling
150KWDC at 400VDC = 375ampsDC
@@universeisundernoobligatio3283 My bad. Read & said "Amps" but brain was thinking "KW" (was still on 1st cup of coffee when I read your comment I guess!)
Can you link the video
Thx Alyssa for pointing out the dog mode problem.
Really good video Kyle. We’ve had ours (AWD ER Premium) for over a year now. You’ve hit on all the biggest problems, IMO: HVJB is a hanging knife, ICE combustion mindset with the software and the car’s behavior, and the price is just not competitive with what the Model Y sits at right now.
I will say, it’s got amazing range for the class, it has great storage, and it’s the best looking crossover in this segment. But “Gen 1” is such an accurate way to classify the issues it has. Whenever they refresh this car, HVJB issues will be gone, suspension will be better, tires will be larger, charge curve will be higher and more consistent and over NACS, and it will be hugely competitive in this segment.
Thanks for this video!
I was lucky enough to get a Mach E back in 2021 before the prices increases. It's a FANTASTIC car. I love it. I have the CA Route 1 trim and the mileage I get is nothing short of amazing: 350 miles in 50/50 driving, highway speeds of 75mph. Build quality and materials is great.
I think the extra slow touch screen would drive me nuts.
Great take as usual Kyle. I LOVE my MME but I cannot argue with your view on improvements and accomplishments.
The fit and finish in white is seldom seen on this channel!
Your videos have great content, and I’ve found myself watching less of them because of the length, and the difficulty in skipping directly to the content relevant to me. Will you consider using UA-cam’s Chapter Markers feature?
The Tesla model Y is not $10,000 less with full auto pilot. If you’re correct, please tell me where I can go buy one? I got a 2023 space white all-wheel-drive extended battery 1.3 blue cruise with the night pony package at $60,500.
Preconditioning happens with preset departure times, without lights going on. I agree about the lack of a universal state of charge limit. As for the comparison with the Model Y, there are many differences between the two vehicles' driving experience that can account for *some* of the pricing differences.
Now on the used market in canada at least the price is around 36 to 48k cad where tesla model y is around 50 to 70k cad
Irony: The first ad was from Ford saying the Mustang Mach-E will keep getting better with continual updates.
17:00 just leave the key in the car. Or if you have the PAAK, I rarely have my phone in my pocket while I'm driving, it's not very comfortable, just leave it in the cup holder. You wouldn't leave your ICE car running, get out with your key fob, pump gas and jump back in would you? Such an unnecessary amount of movement lol
I've had my Mach-E for a little over a year. I LOVE THE CAR and I totally agree with your assessment. Here are my 3 biggest changes I think should be made on the gen 2.
1. WE NEED CLIMATE CONTROLS INDEPENDENT OF THE ON/OFF STATE!
2. VENTILATED SEATS!
3. 800 VOLT SYSTEM WITH BETTER THERMAL MANAGEMENT.
Besides that, minor tweaks to the standard suspension would help as well as a camp mode and a dog mode. My last request would be a drag mode. Something that gives you up to 10 seconds of full power for at least a few pulls on the performance trim. Thanks Ford!
I recently purchased a 2023 mach-e and while thankfully it doesn't seem to have some of the issues you've had, it has other issues which Ford as a company has criminally either taken away or just not acknowledging to customers. They have gotten rid of hands free lift gate, parking assist and auto park has been disabled without any information if it will ever work again and the windsheild/screen restricts all RFID toll tags and radar detector installed inside. Real problem is Ford's criminal silence and unwillingness to acknowledge a problem the whole world is telling them. My first and last Ford or Lincoln for sure.
2021 First Edition Mach-E owner here (so basically the earliest adopter) and I 100% agree with everything here. I LOVE my Mach-E but the High Voltage Junction Box is a huge black eye on Ford. Its shameful they arent proactively replacing these...every day in the forums is another person who's had it die and doesnt know what to do, we have to educate new owners all the time. Mine died 2 months into ownership and left me stranded. It definitely needs better dampers especially on the Premium for the price. And owners have been begging for dog mode for years...Ford IS working on it but embarrassing how long its taking them, coming up on the 4th model year soon and still not here. Also, the car constantly forgets your radio presets...happens to almost ALL owners for all 3 model years. Maddening. That said, I love the combo of looks, build quality, performance and creature comforts, and how the profiles work (1-pedal settings stick even after turning off and is tied to profiles). And to their credit, Ford enabled a voice feedback feature where in the screen you can record 45 seconds of any feedback you have. I have high hopes for Gen 2.
Ford does not care. It is a shitty company that makes cars that are designed to fail. They know about the existing issues and they know how to fix them. They just don’t, because they are betting on making money on repairs later.
1 year owner here and PaaK Phone as a Key just now works after many OTA updates to car and app. Look at the forums to see the issue. We are also still waiting for Blue cruise 1.2 still no date when it will arrive. Great car otherwise. Spot on with other items called out.
The look of the Mach e is great. Prob the sexiest car on the roads (imho), however, I rarely drive our MachE because the infrastructure sucks…. The user face is overly complicated..
I don’t drive it anywhere out of our city limits.
We take my Tesla for road trips ✊
23:19 going from 70 to 100 is a 42% increase….not 30%.
