As usual, your anti-Tesla
As usual, your anti-Tesla take on these guy's review shows up your consistent bias. You are always looking for things that you perceive as Tesla's flaws. I watched this same interview, and came away with a wholly different view on their opinions of these two electric crossovers. What I heard them say was that the Mach-E was very much like a regular Ford. Nice comfortable ride, conventional controls and interior design, decent but a bit underwhelming power, and a practical, useful, overall design. They liked the Mach-E, but they all agreed that the Model Y was quicker, had a much better range, and superior infotainment and automotive software, as well as having the better Tesla Supercharger network. One of the reviewers was pretty clueless about EVs in the fact that he said that even though the $57K Mach-E that they tested was rated at 270 miles of range, with him, in the cold, he only managed 200 miles, which he said was unacceptable. But he also mentioned that he did not plug the Mach-E in even once! His defense was that the charge capability at 120V was not worth doing, but the Mach-E does charge at 3 miles an hour (as opposed to 7MPH for the Tesla) on 120V, so overnight you can add 30 miles of charge easily, which may be what you use to drive in a given daily commute. Still, the Model Y's heat pump does offer better resistance to EV mileage loss due to driving in the cold. Despite the Mach-E having a hard battle to match the Model Y, I am still happy that Ford is building the Mach-E. Legacy automaker Ford has done a great job with their first real BEV. Having good competition between EVs is vital to their success, because their real competition is the gas powered Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V that dominate this crossover market today.
