    I recently sold my 2021 Ram 1500 V8 HEMI etorque w/ towing package, and replaced it with a 2023 Mach-E California Route 1 Edition. I absolutely LOVED my truck, but I haven’t regretted selling it in the slightest. When I realized that gas was going to run me around $800 a month with my new work commute, the decision was clear. Full transparency, we already owned a Tesla Model 3 so I knew what I was getting myself into. Oh yeah…the Mach-E is fast as sh*t!!!

      @@kurtjacobson467 The charging infrastructure is much better for the Model 3. It’s possible to do road trips in the Mach-E (or any other non-Tesla), but requires more planning ahead. Other than that, I prefer the Mach-E over the Tesla in most all other facets. It has a better fit and finish (the Tesla has more rattle and road noise), and like the Ford screen setup, established dealership network and overall appearance of the Mach-E. Hope that helps :-)

Also, if your commute is over 100 miles a day, do not by an EV. Also, if you tow a heavy load, do not buy an EV. When I hear people complain about those things, I just watch them as stupid

    The Model Y was the best-selling car in the world last year. A definitive result of consumer decision making at enormous scale can't be argued with. Teslas achievement is especially incredible considering the price point. The Mach-E has no chance of doing any such thing. These relatively minor improvements can't negotiate the Grand Canyon sized gap that separates these two models and manufacturers.

      Mach-E is a better built car than the model Y. I personally don't like the style of the Model Y. The grand canyon gap you speak of isn't being filled with the Mach-E alone, but it is definitely being filled with plenty of great options for those that don't like or want a tesla for whatever reason. And the best part Tesla's , Ford F150 lightning, VW ID4, Rivian, and Soon Hyundai Kia are all made in the USA with US workers...we should all be rallying behind that fact rather than being like a 12 year old fight over PlayStation and Xbox.

      @@EVandMe The Mach E is a great EV, but Ford needs to find a route to profitability. The average cost to build a Tesla is $36,000, down $3000 in 2023. I'm pulling for Ford and for Rivian and for all American car companies but they need to get to EV profitability or they ain't gonna make it. .... And the build quality of the latest Model Ys is very good. My wife and I have 2 Model Ys and no uneven panel gaps or squeaks or rattles. They've been perfect. .... And the Model Y will have a major refresh next year and if it's anything like the Model 3 refresh, it will have more quieting, better suspension, rear video screen, ambient lighting, better efficiency, etc., etc..

      @@EVandMe You don't have a leg to stand on when arguing these two vehicles, and you probably know it. That's why you dismiss it as a 12 year old Xbox, Playstation fight. Buying any car but especially an EV is one of the largest purchases most people make. Arguing it's a childish fight between fanatics is just silly. If the Mach-E was a legitimate competitor, I'd consider buying it, but it's not. The Mach-E is objectively the inferior choice by a wide margin. We can go category by category and delve into the engineering if you doubt the overwhelming voice of consumers. I think the Model 3 and Y are probably the best mass production cars ever made, so I admit my bias, but I can back it up. I make my purchasing decisions based on facts, not my loyalty to a particular team, product, or person.

    Just read an article last night about this car. Not only have they reduced the cost of this vehicle to be more competitive (which saw the increase in sales this year) but they just announced (similar to Tesla) 0% APR for 48 months for the 2024 model and up to 72 months for the 2023 model year. Honestly that is such a good deal if one is able to lock that down especially since car sales have been hurting from the high interest rates.

    I shopped the Y LR vs the E Premium Extended range. It was close. E rode better but the Y accelerated and cornered better. The E had CarPlay but the Y software was better. E had better build quality but the Y felt more luxurious. The seats in the E are excellent. In the end Ford dealer lost it for Ford. More stupid fees, much worse trade in, not as aggressive pricing and since the E is made in Mexico, no/less rebate. It was a great second place and I like the E better than the ID.4 I had.

And many public charger cables are so short that I need to back right up to the bollards which then interferes with opening the rear hatch to let dogs out for a pee access luggage etc.

    I test drove both cars (2024 Mach E Premium, not the GT, and the 2024 Tesla Model Y) this past weekend... as someone in the comments mentioned "The Model Y has better range, better software, and much better packaging. Cargo capacity and back seat are far superior in the Tesla."
    But for someone like me, that this would be my first EV, I find the MachE to be better looking and easier transition from a gas powered car. The Mach E is a beautiful car. But you can't overlook the larger and more comfortable layout of the Model Y.
    I know that it is a matter of getting used to it, but I do not like the Model Y dash layout... meaning, I do not like having to look to the side and down to see what speed I am doing. On the Mach E you still have a display right in front, in addition to the tablet in the middle... that, for me, works a lot better for a newbie coming from normal cars.
    I currently drive a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave... I am trying to decide if I add a Model Y or Mach E , or if I simply sell the Gladiator and get into a Rivian R1T. Either way, I will wait until next year to do anything as I want to see what the new Model Y looks like.

      I had a model 3 that got totaled and did similar cross shopping for a replacement, so im used to the tesla ecosystem. In the end the price difference was just insane given a 8k cheaper starting price and 7.5k tax credit and financing offer we can get the Y for almost 18k less.

I am really trying to decide if I want to add another car... rather than replace the Gladiator... Going back and forth on that. I have until the end of the month to decide since I understand, that is when the incentives from Tesla on the Model Y, change.
      The Model Y with a factory hitch option... I could use the trailer for the stuff that I use the Gladiator for... but then again, when you are out and about and need the bring something home, having that back bed area in a truck, is great...

      If you plan on driving out of town the Tesla is really the only answer at the moment. Yes the supercharging network is being opened to other manufacturers, but only a small percentage of them. On another note, the fact that Ford called this a Mustang is a bummer for a long time Mustang lover. Mach E would have been fine.

    Looks good, but still no heat pump. Ford knows winter range is awful, we need the heat pump and integrated preconditioning options.

The 2023.5 mid-year refresh of the Mach-E included a more efficient resistive heating system that is able to utilize excess heat from the motors so it should be better than it used to be… 🤷‍♂️ I live in Canada and didn’t have a problem with my ‘22 Mach-E.

    Another good TFL video. I drive a Mach-e California Route One with 315 miles of range. I usually see at least one or two other Mach-e cars per day on the road here in Los Angeles. 30,000 miles on my '22 and absolutely no issues. I would like those new lights. I cannot believe you're trying to compare to the Tesla MY. My Mach-e was hit in March and i rented a Tesla for two weeks while minor body work was done. I very much missed the comfort, quiet, and ride of the Mach-e. Also, there was no driver's console in the Tesla. Finally, the Tesla has no Apple Car Play. It felt SO nice to get back into the Mach-e.

And EVs have their place in the world and are excellent for daily commuting and taking fairly short trips. Long distance drives just take too much time charging, although most EV nav systems have you leapfrogging from station to station to minimize time spend charging. Overall they’re great, but not for everyone. There are also too many myths out there and people thinking about EVs like they do about gas cars. For example, you can’t fill your gas tank at home, and most EV owners charge at home.
