No offense or anything, but she obviously has no idea what she's talking about. We don't know why she ruled the other 2 EV at the beginning (the EV6 and the Ioniq 5 are basically the same car), or why they went on a track since there's no test of the 3 cars in this video although "they had used them at the track a lot". It really feel like it was put together and filmed last minute, without any serious test or even a script in mind, although she said she searched the best car for two months! What about cargo space (and the frunk), space for the passengers, comfort, options if any, the different features, reliability, the price of charging the cars (since they don't have the same battery and consumption)... This video is a joke.
Fun video. Wish she'd gone a little more in depth on some of the functionality, specifically with infotainment. If you count carplay as part of it, I actually prefer the Ioniq's infotainment to tesla model y or 3 (much easier to control climate, and having dual screens is a huge plus). Also, it's easy to set the carplay to go full screen, which would have alleviated her main issue with it.
People need to STOP CHARGING TO 100%!! It wastes time at chargers especially when other people need to charge and it is horrible for the battery. It enough people are telling people what they need to know.
@@christophscholzThis may differ by manufacturer, but if you look at the cell voltages on a Tesla battery, you’ll see that 100% is basically 100%, which is why they tell you not to charge that high except if you really need it right before a road trip. They do have a healthy buffer on the *bottom* end though.
Totally agree . This is a horrible analysis. Charging to the last 20% takes the most home. She should only charged enough to get back home per top the next charger.
Hats off to early adopters of EV's. I consistently annoy them by referring to them as beta testers. But honestly at this point if you are an EV owner, you truly are a beta tester as technologies and standards are still rapidly evolving. There is nothing wrong with owning an EV at this point and they are rapidly maturing but they still stand to mature much more over the next 5 years.
It was a tie at the end. MKBHD helped her break the tie. She'd rather have Carplay than the charging network for a car she doesn't plan to roadtrip in.
That's a mistake. The Model Y is a much better car. When she took over on the highway when it was doing the exit she was just scared. If you are looking at the screen it is clear the car was going to take the exit, she took over after she was on the offramp. I don't know how "Lane Change Unavailable" is a comforting message. Literally means the car doesn't feel confident enough when it is clearly safe to change lanes. Points to its unreliability. Also, 2-3 times a year of supercharging for 6+ hours at a time? + I don't think already built cars are even compatible with the future transition to Tesla Chargers.
Wait… why was the Kia EV6 and Volkswagen ID.4 disqualified from the review after the first 30 seconds? Seems like a notable omission, given they are closer to $40k than these $60k models tested…
I think the lease option is the wisest bit of advice here. The tech keeps getting better and better. Really happy to see the Ford being close to Tesla and hope Hyundai smartens up and goes with the NACS. I really hope for lots of options in the future :)
For those that are curious shortly after this video was released Stern went on the Pivot podcast with Kara Swisher and addressed what happened with the first 3 cars she dropped immediately. If I remember it just kind of came down to taste.
I find it very interesting that the infotainment was rated as a tie between the Tesla and the Ford when the integrated Zoom app on Tesla's infotainment system - which is what was used to video call with MKB - was prominently demonstrated. It shows a clear edge I think, in addition to the navigation integration.
@@dtemp132lol CarPlay sucks. I felt the same before getting the model 3 but now I never think about CarPlay and honestly prefer teslas software now. It is much more fluid and connected to the car and has everything you need. Plus Tesla is working on an AppStore for developers to create more apps
@@dtemp132 depends on what the infotainment can offer. Many might think that was a disqualifier before they tried the Tesla infotainment. After they use it they don't miss car play.
and Nevermind that FUD Booze Cruize software , tries to crash into walls , cannot take corners and does not work EVERYWHERE like Tesla Autopilot FSD does.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.
The US-Stock Mrkt had been on it’s longest bull-run in history, so the mass hysteria and panic is relatable considering we’re not accustomed to such troubled mrkts, but there are avenues lurking around if you know where to look. My wife and I are retiring this year with over $7,000,000 in tax deferred investments. up until 3 years ago we were 100% in the S&P. During bear markets we had a perfect plan. We got an investment manager in our corner and didn’t look at our portfolio for nearly a year.
Hello, I am new when it comes to investing and i would really appreciate if I could get some tips about where it is worth to invest in (ETFs, Stocks, Growth stocks, Dividend stock etc.)
The decision of the winning car was clearly made before the video was shot (aka agenda driven content). Here are 3 reasons why: 1. Smartcar. One of Tesla's USP is its truly a "smart" car. From the seamless integration of the app to the car, driver preferences saved, summon, voice control every function etc. Nothing else comes even close 2. Charging infra: Again, nothing is even close. In terms of speed, network, reliability. Even if Ford works with Adapters only a percent of the network will be available and it will be slower. 3. Autopilot - Joana intentionally left out FSD ($200/month) demo that will literally take yoh from point A to B with minimal interventions (if any). Again, nothing comes even close.
I think the part missing from this assessment is the entertainment you can get on the infotainment. If you have kids, having Netflix and games on your Tesla goes a loooooong way
Owning a car is not the same as owning a house. A car value can only go down, what’s the point of owning an asset which you lose 10 - 20% the second the tires are out of the dealership, and it’s value can only decreases with time?
WSJ does what it does best again - play politics. This is not a tech review, just another attempt to fool customers with a biased opinion. However, customers collectively tend to make smart choices.
Yesssss I want a mach e so much. It's cool to see someone directly compare it to a teslas and NOT pick the tesla bc all I hear is "Teslas are the best evs!" Its okay to like Teslas, it's not okay to try and push other people into what you want.
I think you should’ve done a winter range test. The heat pump in modern Teslas work well and I have a feeling the real world range in winter will be significantly better than the Ford.
Consumer Reports did a test of several EVs and it shows that all EVs including Tesla lose a decent amount of range in cold weather. The heat pump is not a significant difference maker. You can Google "CR Tests Show Electric Car Range Can Fall Far Short of Claims" to see the data.
While I think the video was good I do think that the drivers assist category was not very informative and was frankly botched. This category should objectively go to Tesla. The Tesla has vastly more capable hardware and software such that you have the option of Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot, or FSD beta which is effectively A to B driving capability anywhere you want to go. It literally is like having a chauffeur (while monitoring) to take you anywhere and everywhere you ask it to go. This is not just freeway driving in some locations like Ford. Also, I noticed she was nervous using both the Tesla and Ford systems. The value of these systems does NOT become apparent with just one single short drive when you are understandably nervous! It takes a few weeks or even a couple of months of non-stop driving with the system engaged to understand what you have as a driving tool. The Tesla is hands down the winner because once you get past that inevitable nervous phase at the beginning, you reach that OMG moment where you realize this is amazing and I can never live without this again.
@@MachE_VLOG I wouldn't say it rules out FSD beta. A couple of things worth noting are that the Model Y is eligible for the full $7500 tax credit which brings the purchase price with FSD beta to under $60K. Also Model Y gives you the most flexibility since you can either go with the free Autopilot or opt for Enhanced Autopilot or FSD beta whenever you want after purchasing the car. You can decide to pay and use these advanced features via subscription to control your cost over time (as opposed to buying it outright). Also, the performance of both Autopilot and FSD beta have dramatically improved over time with Tesla's OTA updates. FSD beta today is very different that FSD beta 2 years ago or even 1 year ago and the improvements will continue. In the early days of FSD beta the term "sketchy" comes to mind as a fair description. Today it is relaxing and safer to use than driving yourself in most circumstances (of course while always monitoring) even if not yet perfect. So the term "beta" has had very different implications to the driver experience over the years. IMO, today's FSD beta will make most drivers who use it for a real trial period never want to drive without it.
@@getreal7217 We just filmed a video on using FSD Beta and it did not do well at all. As for the price, that is moving the target if you now want to change it to include tax credits. As for OTAs, the other cars get those as well and improve over time, too. That is nothing special now.
@@MachE_VLOG My comments on the performance of FSD beta are based on my own experience and my wife's experience over almost 2 years in my geographical area and over almost 50K miles using it virtually 100% of the time. I don't know where you filmed or in what circumstances/environments you chose to drive so difficult for me to compare and contrast why your experience was different than mine is. I can certainly point to specific drive here and there in recent months where it did not do well in a specific circumstance but overall it is truly relaxing, reassuring, and in many instances made better decisions than I would have made if driving myself. The redundant nature of having two driving systems working in parallel (FSD beta and myself) is now indispensable to me. I consider it the ultimate driver's assist system at this time. But I'm always open to see a better system with better or broader capabilities.
@@getreal7217 Our video is easy to find and it is literally just showing what FSD Beta can do right now. It was a simple drive but still had lots of issues. And if I actually paid $15,000 for something called Full Self Driving, I'd want a refund. It is not that.
@@AirmanJH As someone that owns ICE vehicles (that I have no immediate plans to replace and certainly not with a BEV) and a Tesla, how much maintenance do you really expect to do on a Prius 4 cyl that only occasionally runs? Those things go forever, an oil change every year or two is probably all you'll need for 200k+ on the ICE part of that vehicle. Trust it to a long (15+ year) calendar life more than the Tesla we own. I just have no desire to own and drive a Prius, but there is obvious use case for them that would work for so many people.
@@tazeatI owned a Prius. Although I enjoyed driving the car, I had to do frequent maintenance and repairs. And the battery died at 65k miles. I would estimate that the engine ran 60-70% of the time I drove it.
Thank you. Very concise and informative! I'm not sure the access to charging stations is where it needs to be in the Midwest. I looked into renting an EV for a trip and NOT ONE company offered them. When I looked at charging stations along the route, it was pretty dicey
If you lived in California, charging stations would be easy to find. But if I lived in the midwest, I would lease a hybrid and wait until more charging stations came online.
In terms of battery percentage and the range left are we completely certain that they are accurate? As in do we know that the cars travel the exact same miles for each percentage.
Just about the DUMBEST car test I've seen! Instead of measuring the efficiency of the cars, she relies on how much % battery is left in the car after that drive - this does NOT tell her how much energy was used and different cars measure the remaining % state of charge differently.
We’ve gone through 7 EVs and last time we used public charging back in 2013? What she failed to share is how does car drives on the freeway? Tesla model Y is loud, rattling, squeaky and very cheap interior materials. We absolutely hated it and thank Carvana for fast & simple transaction for getting rid of $72k price tag really only should be worth $45k at the most!!
I wonder what solid batteries will change things. Toyota aims to release the first solid state battery car in 2027. If solid batteries work out, I suspect they'll be the standard in 2050 for cars, laptops, and phones.
MKHBD summarized the entire video @9:20 " I don't recommend non tesla EVs to anyone". Picking Ford's self driving over tesla's is insane. Also the model Y long range is about 330 mile on a full charge. Very bias reports smh.
@@CensortubesEasy. Coal is an ever diminishing share of the power on the grid. (Coal generation has been entirely phased out in my jurisdiction.) And even in areas with significant fossil fuel power generation, charging man EV with that power results in lower overall emissions than burning fossil fuels in an ICE car to generate motion. The latter process is very inefficient.
For people who buy instead of lease, getting a car with LFP batteries should be a big consideration. No regrets of buying my Model 3 standard range. Plenty of range for me, and it’s good to know I’ll have much better cycle life compared to other battery chemistries. I don’t live in a cold climate so range drops aren’t a concern either.
@@wiktorjachyra1869 : China's LFP are cheap, inferior batteries, mostly notably used by auto companies like Tesla, Ford, etc, all of whom have significant operation in China.
@@tooltalk counterpoint . LFP batteries seem to stabilize at around the 90% health mark , as opposed to the traditional battery chemistries which don’t really stabilize until ~80%. Also, LFP has a much higher cycle life, ~5000 cycles as opposed to ~1500. These numbers are estimates but you get the general idea. I knew the pros and cons when I got my car, and paying an extra $15,000 wasn’t worth it for the long range, which was range I wouldn’t realistically use for probably 90% of miles driven over the lifetime of the car
Ford will ship a free adapter later this year to Mach-E and F150 Lighting owners, this according to the press release from Ford when they announced that they will adopt the Tesla charging stations. Future Ford EVs will come equipped with a port compatible with Tesla chargers.
I rechecked the announcement, and there was nothing about it being free. It might be for the 2024 models (included in price), but I am pretty sure us 2022 and 2023 model owners will get the opportunity to pay. Also, it is likely to be 1st quarter 2024, not this year.
Interesing video, but it does seem the USA is quite behind in (non Tesla) charging. Here in Europe, Tesla's now come with CCS and it has basically become the Euro (world even if we exclude the Japanese CHADEMO) standard. Having to to trickle charge is, at least where I live, increasingly rare.
I would imagine its EU regulation, America should do they same. EU also forced all android phones to use one type of charger and now is forcing apple to adopt usb c like the rest
You hit it in the first sentence: "... under $60k". They are ridiculously expensive. How can they make a hybrid with gas and electric power, and all that is required for them to integrate, for in the $40k range, remove all the gas related aspects and they become $65k??? Crazy talk!
If tesla doesn’t win the technology category than that video is sponsored… Edit: i have no idea why she trusted the Ford autopilot. Tesla has 20 times more data and the choice would be obvious for me…
that's true, Tesla was the first to market with EVs though so they have the lead due to their brand recognition. But, it doesn't mean the product is better. As more EVs come out from the big automakers, Tesla will begin to be in trouble. Their products already lack behind Ford, and with GM releasing the Equinox and Blazer it's going to get worse. Tesla will have a hard time competing going forward.
ALL AUTOMOTIVE JOURNALISTS VOTED Ioniq5 as Overlapp BEST EV AND BEST SUV in the world and all countries UNANIMOUSLY. These are PROFESSIONAL automotive journalists. AMATEUR HOUR HERE!
@tooltalk I am pretty smart, you know how many of these journalist get free cars for positive reviews? Every single one that didn't buy the car and got one by the company to test out. Some of them are even flown to the headquarters to try out the cars. Automotive journalists don't think like car buyers, they think like car reviewers. Tesla doesn't give out review cars, you have to buy one or borrow one from a friend, this makes a lot of journalist upset.
@@Victor-vj5dsthere's something called journalistic integrity and the WSJ doesn't mess around with that. They would never want their name tarnished by the kind of behavior you're insinuating. Not everything is corrupt, you only think that because the country you probably live in is.

Excellent video! Joanna and team, would you mind reviewing the Chinese BYDs? They are becoming increasingly common in developing countries such as Colombia and are very affordable in comparison to these.
Hilarious. No real range test. No points for reliable charging. Ford over Tesla for self driving. Ford over Tesla for infotainment. It’s almost as if Ford is paying them. Oh. Wait..
if you can somehow prove they were paid for ford you would be an amazing journalist yourself. But you can't because they weren't. The WSJ would never do that and neither would the journalists in this review. All the comments claiming everyone is bought and paid for must be coming from Russians.
Everyone who has read the torrent of super biased often entirely fictional FUD from the WSJ about Tesla over the last fifteen years knew she was not going to pick the Tesla before the video started.
I was of the same opinion that the WSJ would never allow a Tesla to win and she never let me down. The give away came when she trusted the Ford to make lane changes but not the Tesla and kept taking over. That's neither a test nor a fair comparison. Thats outright bias right there. By all reputable reports the Mustang is a great car. I hope she actually leases one and doesn't regret it
No cost comparison? Model Y auto lane change needs $6k EAP option (or $100/month subscription). BlueCruise 1.2 after 90 days for auto lane change on the Mach-E is $2,100 for 3 years, then $800 a year on year 4+. What about insurance cost between Model Y and Mach-E? I see Mach-E has 1.9% APR for 60 months.
Excellent review , not subjective , no misleading, only USA and USA political friendly country car.... NOT a single EV from CHINA to help customers to pick a better value car , what a fair review
Very nice job and deff one of the better composed comparisons! I’m not sure if you were aware or if at the time of filming the Supercharger you pictured (5:05) was activated yet but it is one of the newer locations that has the hardware for universal CCS charging! You can tell in the Tesla app! The infotainment and app integration on the Ford has been very disappointing for me. I have owned EVs and currently run an EV education and rental company in GA!
Also from my understanding when two vehicles are changing on the same charge the max output of the charge is cut in half I wonder if only one vehicle was changing on one charge if the charge will charge the vehicle in 3-4 hours not take 6 hours to charge
Great video and a lot of work to put this together! I wonder how accurate the range display is. We all know that five bars on a Samsung cell phone is not the same as five bars on an iPhone. As far as I know there are no standards and car manufacturers might be tweaking the range display to support their narrative.
My biggest issue with the tesla is that they want $15k for the full self drive package. After using it a few times during my promo period, I don't think I would pay 1k, let alone 15. Its jarring on streets and even on highways when the conditions aren't ideal (it tends to wonder when you're in a lane that merges, among other things like randomly slowing down). I get all the functionality I want from the Self-Steer on highways.
Tesla Autopilot works on virtually any road, Ford Blue Cruise is very limited to only roads they have mapped. There is extra cost for both systems you tested but, the base Autopilot is included in every Tesla for no extra charge. You also left out a huge consideration, NHTSA has rated Tesla's as the safest cars on the road.
100% fully agreed with the leasing. So many early Tesla adopters dropped their purchases with new model changes like cell phones; it wasn’t even funny. Shame you didn’t include the Volvo XC40 and C40 Recharges in this test Johanna.
This is a poor review, slick, but poor, because it omits far too many important facts. Most important, there is no discussion of Battery Chemistry, in particular the safety of the chemistry used, particularly the topical issue whether the different cars have a greater or lesser propensity to catch fire and burn uncontrollably. Secondly, it is worth mentioning that the Ford is $15,000 cheaper than the Tesla. Third, the mapping in the Tesla is far superior on all roads. Fourth, why were the Kia and VW excluded from any consideration at all without comment? Is there any reason why they were omitted that we should know? The most interesting fact about EV's at present is that Chinese manufacturers are producing a sophisticated range of EV's now selling for between US$15,000 and US$35,000. Even if one considers the former administration's 27% import duty, they will still scare US manufacturers. Look at the MG4 or the BYD - Dolphin or Atto3. The manufacturers considered in this WSJ presentation will be looking over their shoulders. The reviewer was dead right on one issue, lease instead of buy - it will save her from expensive error.
biased review from the start. The Ioniq 5 is objectively a better car all around out of the bunch when you take into account road noise, speed, turning, braking, interiors and so on. The model Y is a better "EV" in the sense that you can always rely on the Tesla superchargers for long trips but the interiors, assembly and road noise are barely average compared to the ID4 and Hyundai. The others don't even compare and if you don't believe me go check the sales for all of the models. Overall this is a subtle ad for Ford part of a greater agenda committed to pushing American corporations that fill the greater vision of the corporate establishment. Of Course they were not going to choose a foreign made care (Hyundai) and one under the far leaning eccentric Musk (Tesla). Also the semi-autonomous driving segment is a blatant lie. Tesla has better self driving albeit useless for most people.
didn't learn much here. She could have given a final score to each. No substantive reason for choosing the Ford at the end other than she trusts Ford self-driving capability more and that category was the only one that really mattered at the end of the day
I hear "it's a tie Ford and Tesla." Tesla beats them at everything. There has never been a head to head review by media where they give a clear winner what they deserve.
I'm confident she's change her mind after a few months because anyone with an EV need a learning curve no matter what (to trust & learn more about how to use those cars). Good video!
As a Chinese who recently purchased a XPENG P7i in Shanghai, this video seems extremely weird to me, the three cars in this video represents the best EVs in the US market but are all somewhat lackluster compared to my car, especially the ford and the Hyundai in the infotainment system integration and ADAS capabilities. And the charging infrastructure in the US astound me by its inconsistency, you guys have different charging ports with different EVs? And the 3rd party charging stations all need proprietary apps to work? (In China the 3rd party stations all can be accessed thru WeChat). This is the first time I genuinely think China is miles ahead against the US

Agreed! Not to mention Ford caps the performance of the Mach-e for 5 seconds
People need to STOP CHARGING TO 100%!! It wastes time at chargers especially when other people need to charge and it is horrible for the battery. It enough people are telling people what they need to know.
When the car displays 100% that isn’t really 100% capacity of the battery pack. Usually there is some healthy margin built in.
@@christophscholzThis may differ by manufacturer, but if you look at the cell voltages on a Tesla battery, you’ll see that 100% is basically 100%, which is why they tell you not to charge that high except if you really need it right before a road trip. They do have a healthy buffer on the *bottom* end though.
Totally agree . This is a horrible analysis. Charging to the last 20% takes the most home. She should only charged enough to get back home per top the next charger.
How can you give ford the win for self driving when it only works on some roads, while Tesla has full self driving capabilities?
Hats off to early adopters of EV's. I consistently annoy them by referring to them as beta testers. But honestly at this point if you are an EV owner, you truly are a beta tester as technologies and standards are still rapidly evolving. There is nothing wrong with owning an EV at this point and they are rapidly maturing but they still stand to mature much more over the next 5 years.

This report shows why traditional journalism is in decline and should no longer be taken seriously. The end result is comic and uninformative.
So true, so true!
That's a mistake. The Model Y is a much better car. When she took over on the highway when it was doing the exit she was just scared. If you are looking at the screen it is clear the car was going to take the exit, she took over after she was on the offramp. I don't know how "Lane Change Unavailable" is a comforting message. Literally means the car doesn't feel confident enough when it is clearly safe to change lanes. Points to its unreliability. Also, 2-3 times a year of supercharging for 6+ hours at a time? + I don't think already built cars are even compatible with the future transition to Tesla Chargers.
Wait… why was the Kia EV6 and Volkswagen ID.4 disqualified from the review after the first 30 seconds? Seems like a notable omission, given they are closer to $40k than these $60k models tested…
VW iD4 is a FAILURE , just look at CHYNA sales.
VW iD4 still has very BUGGY software in 2H 2023 , with no fix.
What planet are you living on? Spec any of those two and they go to $60k fast. The Model Y long range is $49k and that has AWD.
It is a very good example of advertising by Ford :-)😅
I think the lease option is the wisest bit of advice here. The tech keeps getting better and better. Really happy to see the Ford being close to Tesla and hope Hyundai smartens up and goes with the NACS. I really hope for lots of options in the future :)
For those that are curious shortly after this video was released Stern went on the Pivot podcast with Kara Swisher and addressed what happened with the first 3 cars she dropped immediately. If I remember it just kind of came down to taste.
I find it very interesting that the infotainment was rated as a tie between the Tesla and the Ford when the integrated Zoom app on Tesla's infotainment system - which is what was used to video call with MKB - was prominently demonstrated. It shows a clear edge I think, in addition to the navigation integration.
No CarPlay is an instant disqualifier for myself and many.
@@dtemp132lol CarPlay sucks. I felt the same before getting the model 3 but now I never think about CarPlay and honestly prefer teslas software now. It is much more fluid and connected to the car and has everything you need. Plus Tesla is working on an AppStore for developers to create more apps
@@dtemp132 what apps are missing on Tesla that you use on CarPlay?
@@dtemp132 depends on what the infotainment can offer. Many might think that was a disqualifier before they tried the Tesla infotainment. After they use it they don't miss car play.
Because it’s a car and zoom is a pointless feature but CarPlay/android auto are legitimately useful
Bluecruise is only available for certain highways that have been mapped. Not a good comparison

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.
That’s crazy, I’m just doing everything wrong with my portfolio.
The US-Stock Mrkt had been on it’s longest bull-run in history, so the mass hysteria and panic is relatable considering we’re not accustomed to such troubled mrkts, but there are avenues lurking around if you know where to look. My wife and I are retiring this year with over $7,000,000 in tax deferred investments. up until 3 years ago we were 100% in the S&P. During bear markets we had a perfect plan. We got an investment manager in our corner and didn’t look at our portfolio for nearly a year.
Same here, 75% of my portfolio is in the red and I really don’t know how long I can stomach the losses. I’m beginning to reach a breaking point.
Patience patience patience. It's a cycle.... a sucky point in the cycle, but a cycle nonetheless...
Hello, I am new when it comes to investing and i would really appreciate if I could get some tips about where it is worth to invest in (ETFs, Stocks, Growth stocks, Dividend stock etc.)
The decision of the winning car was clearly made before the video was shot (aka agenda driven content). Here are 3 reasons why:
1. Smartcar. One of Tesla's USP is its truly a "smart" car. From the seamless integration of the app to the car, driver preferences saved, summon, voice control every function etc. Nothing else comes even close
2. Charging infra: Again, nothing is even close. In terms of speed, network, reliability. Even if Ford works with Adapters only a percent of the network will be available and it will be slower.
3. Autopilot - Joana intentionally left out FSD ($200/month) demo that will literally take yoh from point A to B with minimal interventions (if any). Again, nothing comes even close.
Oh and 4. Acceleration (0-60) and drive comfort/quality was totally ignored.
What a horrible review 😂
Tesla may have a more reliable network but the Hyundai has it on speed when available at 350 kW charging to Tesla's 250 kW.
Did you notice she filmed the award declarations before she drove the second half of the trip? Ford, after all, is one of WSJ’s top advertisers.
Ya, disappointed with MKBHD as well
My Escape 2006 Hybrid has the original battery and it still works ! Can still tool around at low speeds on the battery. Incredible.
That battery costs $15K. Are you going to replace it when it dies?
I think the part missing from this assessment is the entertainment you can get on the infotainment. If you have kids, having Netflix and games on your Tesla goes a loooooong way
Use the window and enjoy the world like millions did before tech owned your mind.
Except you can't use that while driving. And when you stop, it's time to get out of the car and move around.
@@MachE_VLOG not sure where you got that information but none of those features are available while not in park
@@x0Kamix0x Typo. I just fixed that. You can't use those features while driving so it is mostly useless to me. I never sit in the car while charging.

Leasing is the best advice to give when getting an EV. That's what we did with our Volvo.

OWNERSHIP has benefits of YOU owning the ASSET .

Only uninformed owner lease.

Owning a car is not the same as owning a house. A car value can only go down, what’s the point of owning an asset which you lose 10 - 20% the second the tires are out of the dealership, and it’s value can only decreases with time?
@mkbhd just had to be in this short documentary. Love it!
Probably the worst car reviews I've seen a long time. Dare I say, this is biased and unprofessional journalism
Whooops....you made the wrong choice
WSJ does what it does best again - play politics. This is not a tech review, just another attempt to fool customers with a biased opinion. However, customers collectively tend to make smart choices.
Yesssss I want a mach e so much. It's cool to see someone directly compare it to a teslas and NOT pick the tesla bc all I hear is "Teslas are the best evs!" Its okay to like Teslas, it's not okay to try and push other people into what you want.
I think you should’ve done a winter range test. The heat pump in modern Teslas work well and I have a feeling the real world range in winter will be significantly better than the Ford.
My thought as well. Winter range will be important in NJ. Mach e will lose range much quicker
@@buzzyvideo They all will lose range in cold weather. Or did you want to prove you have no idea like op?
Others have done that including Edmunds and they found out that the heat pump doesn't actually help Tesla that much.
My experience with 4 EVs is the Tesla will retain the most range. The bolt would lose 30% in winter.
Consumer Reports did a test of several EVs and it shows that all EVs including Tesla lose a decent amount of range in cold weather. The heat pump is not a significant difference maker. You can Google "CR Tests Show Electric Car Range Can Fall Far Short of Claims" to see the data.
Bro did they really change the title because they realized how much of a hit piece it was against tesla?
While I think the video was good I do think that the drivers assist category was not very informative and was frankly botched. This category should objectively go to Tesla. The Tesla has vastly more capable hardware and software such that you have the option of Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot, or FSD beta which is effectively A to B driving capability anywhere you want to go. It literally is like having a chauffeur (while monitoring) to take you anywhere and everywhere you ask it to go. This is not just freeway driving in some locations like Ford. Also, I noticed she was nervous using both the Tesla and Ford systems. The value of these systems does NOT become apparent with just one single short drive when you are understandably nervous! It takes a few weeks or even a couple of months of non-stop driving with the system engaged to understand what you have as a driving tool. The Tesla is hands down the winner because once you get past that inevitable nervous phase at the beginning, you reach that OMG moment where you realize this is amazing and I can never live without this again.
But it was also labeled about cars under $60k so that rules out FSD Beta because that alone costs $15,000. It is also a Beta.
@@MachE_VLOG I wouldn't say it rules out FSD beta. A couple of things worth noting are that the Model Y is eligible for the full $7500 tax credit which brings the purchase price with FSD beta to under $60K. Also Model Y gives you the most flexibility since you can either go with the free Autopilot or opt for Enhanced Autopilot or FSD beta whenever you want after purchasing the car. You can decide to pay and use these advanced features via subscription to control your cost over time (as opposed to buying it outright). Also, the performance of both Autopilot and FSD beta have dramatically improved over time with Tesla's OTA updates. FSD beta today is very different that FSD beta 2 years ago or even 1 year ago and the improvements will continue. In the early days of FSD beta the term "sketchy" comes to mind as a fair description. Today it is relaxing and safer to use than driving yourself in most circumstances (of course while always monitoring) even if not yet perfect. So the term "beta" has had very different implications to the driver experience over the years. IMO, today's FSD beta will make most drivers who use it for a real trial period never want to drive without it.
@@getreal7217 We just filmed a video on using FSD Beta and it did not do well at all. As for the price, that is moving the target if you now want to change it to include tax credits. As for OTAs, the other cars get those as well and improve over time, too. That is nothing special now.
@@MachE_VLOG My comments on the performance of FSD beta are based on my own experience and my wife's experience over almost 2 years in my geographical area and over almost 50K miles using it virtually 100% of the time. I don't know where you filmed or in what circumstances/environments you chose to drive so difficult for me to compare and contrast why your experience was different than mine is. I can certainly point to specific drive here and there in recent months where it did not do well in a specific circumstance but overall it is truly relaxing, reassuring, and in many instances made better decisions than I would have made if driving myself. The redundant nature of having two driving systems working in parallel (FSD beta and myself) is now indispensable to me. I consider it the ultimate driver's assist system at this time. But I'm always open to see a better system with better or broader capabilities.
@@getreal7217 Our video is easy to find and it is literally just showing what FSD Beta can do right now. It was a simple drive but still had lots of issues. And if I actually paid $15,000 for something called Full Self Driving, I'd want a refund. It is not that.
I would go with a Prius Prime. Best of both worlds.
And the worst of both worlds too!
You are performing maintenance on two powertrains. I’ll never buy another internal combustion engine. Sick of “fix or repair daily” (FORD)
@@AirmanJH As someone that owns ICE vehicles (that I have no immediate plans to replace and certainly not with a BEV) and a Tesla, how much maintenance do you really expect to do on a Prius 4 cyl that only occasionally runs? Those things go forever, an oil change every year or two is probably all you'll need for 200k+ on the ICE part of that vehicle. Trust it to a long (15+ year) calendar life more than the Tesla we own. I just have no desire to own and drive a Prius, but there is obvious use case for them that would work for so many people.
@@tazeatI owned a Prius. Although I enjoyed driving the car, I had to do frequent maintenance and repairs. And the battery died at 65k miles. I would estimate that the engine ran 60-70% of the time I drove it.
Thank you. Very concise and informative! I'm not sure the access to charging stations is where it needs to be in the Midwest. I looked into renting an EV for a trip and NOT ONE company offered them. When I looked at charging stations along the route, it was pretty dicey
If you lived in California, charging stations would be easy to find. But if I lived in the midwest, I would lease a hybrid and wait until more charging stations came online.
In terms of battery percentage and the range left are we completely certain that they are accurate? As in do we know that the cars travel the exact same miles for each percentage.
49 seconds in your video, you have two images of the Hyundai Ioniq 5, one of which is labeled Volkswagen ID.4.
…
Big oversight.
Indeed
Just about the DUMBEST car test I've seen! Instead of measuring the efficiency of the cars, she relies on how much % battery is left in the car after that drive - this does NOT tell her how much energy was used and different cars measure the remaining % state of charge differently.
We’ve gone through 7 EVs and last time we used public charging back in 2013? What she failed to share is how does car drives on the freeway? Tesla model Y is loud, rattling, squeaky and very cheap interior materials. We absolutely hated it and thank Carvana for fast & simple transaction for getting rid of $72k price tag really only should be worth $45k at the most!!
Well done. Informative.
She missed the superior charging tech on the Tesla. Once she goes on a long trip, she see how bad the Mach is. 😂Of course WSJ hates Elon and Tesla.
nope. she covered it quite well. you just missed it
I wonder what solid batteries will change things.
Toyota aims to release the first solid state battery car in 2027.
If solid batteries work out, I suspect they'll be the standard in 2050 for cars, laptops, and phones.
MKHBD summarized the entire video @9:20 " I don't recommend non tesla EVs to anyone".
Picking Ford's self driving over tesla's is insane. Also the model Y long range is about 330 mile on a full charge. Very bias reports smh.
He didn't say that. Please re-listen to the whole sentence.
So even using more coal to be built and charged the tesla, still cant beat a ice car on range? Now tell us how its better for the environment?
@@CensortubesEasy. Coal is an ever diminishing share of the power on the grid. (Coal generation has been entirely phased out in my jurisdiction.) And even in areas with significant fossil fuel power generation, charging man EV with that power results in lower overall emissions than burning fossil fuels in an ICE car to generate motion. The latter process is very inefficient.
It’s not that Tesla is great, the competition is just trash. They are set in their ways. You sell cars but you don’t have chargers around town?!
For people who buy instead of lease, getting a car with LFP batteries should be a big consideration. No regrets of buying my Model 3 standard range. Plenty of range for me, and it’s good to know I’ll have much better cycle life compared to other battery chemistries. I don’t live in a cold climate so range drops aren’t a concern either.
Ford also uses a lfp battery in the new mach e
Yes, but like Tesla, only on the lower-ranged, non-performance version. I'm a fan of the LFP tech. @@wiktorjachyra1869
@@wiktorjachyra1869 : China's LFP are cheap, inferior batteries, mostly notably used by auto companies like Tesla, Ford, etc, all of whom have significant operation in China.
>> No regrets of buying my Model 3 standard range.
@@tooltalk counterpoint . LFP batteries seem to stabilize at around the 90% health mark , as opposed to the traditional battery chemistries which don’t really stabilize until ~80%. Also, LFP has a much higher cycle life, ~5000 cycles as opposed to ~1500. These numbers are estimates but you get the general idea. I knew the pros and cons when I got my car, and paying an extra $15,000 wasn’t worth it for the long range, which was range I wouldn’t realistically use for probably 90% of miles driven over the lifetime of the car
Ford will ship a free adapter later this year to Mach-E and F150 Lighting owners, this according to the press release from Ford when they announced that they will adopt the Tesla charging stations. Future Ford EVs will come equipped with a port compatible with Tesla chargers.
I rechecked the announcement, and there was nothing about it being free. It might be for the 2024 models (included in price), but I am pretty sure us 2022 and 2023 model owners will get the opportunity to pay. Also, it is likely to be 1st quarter 2024, not this year.
Yay for early adoption right? Lol
Oh please we all know the Tesla is the winner, how can you even compare the self-driving, Tesla's are fun, Ford is not!
Interesing video, but it does seem the USA is quite behind in (non Tesla) charging. Here in Europe, Tesla's now come with CCS and it has basically become the Euro (world even if we exclude the Japanese CHADEMO) standard. Having to to trickle charge is, at least where I live, increasingly rare.
I would imagine its EU regulation, America should do they same. EU also forced all android phones to use one type of charger and now is forcing apple to adopt usb c like the rest
You hit it in the first sentence: "... under $60k". They are ridiculously expensive. How can they make a hybrid with gas and electric power, and all that is required for them to integrate, for in the $40k range, remove all the gas related aspects and they become $65k??? Crazy talk!
If tesla doesn’t win the technology category than that video is sponsored…
Edit: i have no idea why she trusted the Ford autopilot. Tesla has 20 times more data and the choice would be obvious for me…
According to the latest international sales figures, Tesla is the #1 EV brand in the world. Ford is not even in the top 10.
that's true, Tesla was the first to market with EVs though so they have the lead due to their brand recognition. But, it doesn't mean the product is better.
As more EVs come out from the big automakers, Tesla will begin to be in trouble. Their products already lack behind Ford, and with GM releasing the Equinox and Blazer it's going to get worse. Tesla will have a hard time competing going forward.

Excellent video! Joanna and team, would you mind reviewing the Chinese BYDs? They are becoming increasingly common in developing countries such as Colombia and are very affordable in comparison to these.
Hilarious. No real range test. No points for reliable charging. Ford over Tesla for self driving. Ford over Tesla for infotainment. It’s almost as if Ford is paying them. Oh. Wait..
if you can somehow prove they were paid for ford you would be an amazing journalist yourself. But you can't because they weren't. The WSJ would never do that and neither would the journalists in this review.

Everyone who has read the torrent of super biased often entirely fictional FUD from the WSJ about Tesla over the last fifteen years knew she was not going to pick the Tesla before the video started.
I was of the same opinion that the WSJ would never allow a Tesla to win and she never let me down. The give away came when she trusted the Ford to make lane changes but not the Tesla and kept taking over. That's neither a test nor a fair comparison. Thats outright bias right there. By all reputable reports the Mustang is a great car. I hope she actually leases one and doesn't regret it
Exactly, the excuses they made to give the Ford the edge are just outrageous if you actually know what they are talking about.
No cost comparison? Model Y auto lane change needs $6k EAP option (or $100/month subscription). BlueCruise 1.2 after 90 days for auto lane change on the Mach-E is $2,100 for 3 years, then $800 a year on year 4+.
What about insurance cost between Model Y and Mach-E? I see Mach-E has 1.9% APR for 60 months.
No EVs. Do not want the range anxiety!
0:48 the Volkswagen ID 4 looks exactly the same like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 :P

Excellent review , not subjective , no misleading, only USA and USA political friendly country car.... NOT a single EV from CHINA to help customers to pick a better value car , what a fair review
Very nice job and deff one of the better composed comparisons! I’m not sure if you were aware or if at the time of filming the Supercharger you pictured (5:05) was activated yet but it is one of the newer locations that has the hardware for universal CCS charging! You can tell in the Tesla app! The infotainment and app integration on the Ford has been very disappointing for me. I have owned EVs and currently run an EV education and rental company in GA!
I work for the largest renter of EVs in Arizona, and our staff and customers are in dire need of EV education.

Yes, would have been better to look at the consumption and then figure out the range manually.
>> We all know that five bars on a Samsung cell phone is not the same as five bars on an iPhone.
It’s not.
ID.4 so bad, they couldn't even give it its own thumbnail.
My biggest issue with the tesla is that they want $15k for the full self drive package. After using it a few times during my promo period, I don't think I would pay 1k, let alone 15. Its jarring on streets and even on highways when the conditions aren't ideal (it tends to wonder when you're in a lane that merges, among other things like randomly slowing down). I get all the functionality I want from the Self-Steer on highways.
the big problem with "self driving" at the level it is now, is that you have to be ready to take over, whats the point of having it?
Great video. Just got my F-150 lighting a month ago and loving it so far!
Hilarious. It will depreciate faster than Lightning 🤡
I take it you don’t road trip a lot. Even Jim Farley said it’s a horrible experience.
Tesla Autopilot works on virtually any road, Ford Blue Cruise is very limited to only roads they have mapped. There is extra cost for both systems you tested but, the base Autopilot is included in every Tesla for no extra charge. You also left out a huge consideration, NHTSA has rated Tesla's as the safest cars on the road.
How about auto pilot deaths that no one wants to talk about?
I know this video is about full EV cars but, I was going to buy a plug-in hybrid, but now I'm not sure if I should lease instead.
Don’t waste money on hybrid!!! I did before I got my Teslas. Dumb move on my part.
Don't buy a ev unless you want to flex you have more money than brains. Signed a custom auto tech.

@@simondj8572yep. Volvo and Polestar not even mentioned
So the reporter gets an advice that non-Teslas are not good for long distances and she gets a non-Tesla. Nice.
This is a poor review, slick, but poor, because it omits far too many important facts. Most important, there is no discussion of Battery Chemistry, in particular the safety of the chemistry used, particularly the topical issue whether the different cars have a greater or lesser propensity to catch fire and burn uncontrollably. Secondly, it is worth mentioning that the Ford is $15,000 cheaper than the Tesla. Third, the mapping in the Tesla is far superior on all roads. Fourth, why were the Kia and VW excluded from any consideration at all without comment? Is there any reason why they were omitted that we should know?
The most interesting fact about EV's at present is that Chinese manufacturers are producing a sophisticated range of EV's now selling for between US$15,000 and US$35,000. Even if one considers the former administration's 27% import duty, they will still scare US manufacturers. Look at the MG4 or the BYD - Dolphin or Atto3. The manufacturers considered in this WSJ presentation will be looking over their shoulders.
The reviewer was dead right on one issue, lease instead of buy - it will save her from expensive error.
I really enjoyed the video, but unfortunately you didn’t mention the trims of the vechicles and that was frustrating for me😂
How do you judge handling when you’re not a semiprofessional driver or knowledgeable enthusiast ?
I mean if she likes it she likes it. Isn't that ultimately what matters?
Tesla doesn't provide great lease options. In fact, the monthly cost of leasing a Tesla isn't that much different than buying one.
you can get Tesla LEASE Discount if you get TESLA insurance.
Leasing is for people that can’t afford them
@@zoobrizz except for Tesla's, as the video states leasing is a great way to stick with the latest. Tesla's leasing terms aren't competitive.
biased review from the start. The Ioniq 5 is objectively a better car all around out of the bunch when you take into account road noise, speed, turning, braking, interiors and so on. The model Y is a better "EV" in the sense that you can always rely on the Tesla superchargers for long trips but the interiors, assembly and road noise are barely average compared to the ID4 and Hyundai. The others don't even compare and if you don't believe me go check the sales for all of the models. Overall this is a subtle ad for Ford part of a greater agenda committed to pushing American corporations that fill the greater vision of the corporate establishment. Of Course they were not going to choose a foreign made care (Hyundai) and one under the far leaning eccentric Musk (Tesla).
Also the semi-autonomous driving segment is a blatant lie. Tesla has better self driving albeit useless for most people.
I totally agree with you, this seems like a American brand promo, especially on Ford.
that's ok. nobody takes this tech-reviewer seriously in the auto business.
didn't learn much here. She could have given a final score to each. No substantive reason for choosing the Ford at the end other than she trusts Ford self-driving capability more and that category was the only one that really mattered at the end of the day
I hear "it's a tie Ford and Tesla." Tesla beats them at everything. There has never been a head to head review by media where they give a clear winner what they deserve.
@0:49 the picture for ID.4 is incorrect, is the same as the Ioniq 5
I'm confident she's change her mind after a few months because anyone with an EV need a learning curve no matter what (to trust & learn more about how to use those cars). Good video!
Yeah... Especially with her selecting Blue Cruise... I'm... Shall we say, incredulous...
Should’ve test the Ioniq 6 instead. Love my car. First EV and Hyundai. Better drive & style
I love this reporter! More of her, please!
As a Chinese who recently purchased a XPENG P7i in Shanghai, this video seems extremely weird to me, the three cars in this video represents the best EVs in the US market but are all somewhat lackluster compared to my car, especially the ford and the Hyundai in the infotainment system integration and ADAS capabilities. And the charging infrastructure in the US astound me by its inconsistency, you guys have different charging ports with different EVs? And the 3rd party charging stations all need proprietary apps to work? (In China the 3rd party stations all can be accessed thru WeChat). This is the first time I genuinely think China is miles ahead against the US
