Ford Mustang Mach-E vs. Tesla Model Y: Did Ford Build A BETTER Tesla?

Unbrake it, it's a matter of horsepower, so it's like sports performance mode. It turns everything brown and that's how you get the most performance out of the Mustang. I would call it bronze. Do you have more than one camera? If I have it. I absolutely have a 360 degree view camera which, by the way, you don't have. It's a very good thing, I have a heated steering wheel that you don't have, by the way, I have a glass roof that you also have and look at this glove box ready, yes, turn, look and talking about things you don't have, right?

Yeah, and let's be honest, electric cars are like real estate, it's about real estate, location, location, location with cars, it's about range, range, range and in this

model

you don't have range, I do, how much do you have? to spare, how much do I have to spare? rain this is the premium standard range all wheel drive yes and it can go a mind blowing 211 miles according to the epa when was the last time you drove 211 miles in a day you would have to stop for a bathroom break like a hundred? Sometimes knowing you're dead you know I could drive another 71 miles when this actually goes up to exactly 281 and that's the performance

model

if you really had the dual motor long range model you could go over 300 yeah it's 291 for the performance, uh, this Ford, although this is the shortest range model, there is one that will go 300 miles if you get the big problem in your wheel drive, what's your mpge? according to the epa ready for this yes 93 okay you know what the performance version of the

tesla

is yes I know what the

tesla

is what it is tommy it's a hundred and eleven that's true yes it's about a twenty percent

better

, it's a little

better

. than the Ford four or four, will work.

They received the update throughout the year, so they will make it more efficient. Remember my words. They're going to make a beast of this as they figure it out. some of the inefficiencies okay I think it's time we take Tesla's fluoride before we try this okay let's give it a spin full disclosure number two we bought this tesla as a long term review vehicle and paid 63 000 because Ford lent us this drill for a week, while it didn't come with a monroney, we set it up on the computer and it turns out it costs about 50,000, so yes, it's less expensive and yes, once again it's apples to Granny Smith . right, I have a question for you, well the other thing that electric cars are about of course is the charging speed, how fast does it charge?

Well, we'll find out it does, so in a future video we'll address both vehicles. the toughest ev test in the world, the loveland tests and at the base of the loveland pass, we will connect them and see which one charges faster when they are almost dead, so that will happen soon, but for today we are just going to give a species short drive around the neighborhood and talk about how these vehicles drive now, of course, they're both electric and they're both very quiet, yes, very, very quiet, and that's because, of course, being electric vehicles, there really is no noise to hear.

I mean, it's an electric motor, it just fights. Both have all-wheel drive. Yes, which means they have two motors, one in the front and one in the back. The Tesla Model Y is only available with all-wheel drive. The maki you can get. one motor in the rear or two motors in the front and rear yes and they both have regenerative braking and we are going to test it also going down the mountain when we go up the Loveland tests yes absolutely now first impressions why does it drive like that? a cabbage cart because this is the high performance version, it's the sporty one, so it has a little bit sportier setup, the suspension is a little bit harder, but it also does this, Tommy, let me stop here and we'll just give it some juice, done, three, two, one, here we go, that's too fast, yes, that's absurd, and the final and by far the most important full disclosure is that Ford still has its federal tax credit , which means if you buy amaki you will get a 7500 uncle sam tax credit and if you live in colorado, if you buy it this year 2020 you will get an additional four thousand dollars, this was a very expensive vehicle for Ford to develop now there is one thing that it's a little bit A little bit worrying if I go here in the settings, yes, I'm going to charge, yes, we have a state of charge of 80, yes, and it shows 116 miles of predicted range, that's a number that maybe Ford should hide.

It's a little cold outside, it's 28 degrees. And we have the heater on this vehicle, it doesn't have a heat pump like the Tesla, which is a neat way to heat up a low power vehicle, but that's a concern, so we'll do some range testing in the cold and I'll see what which really is in the real world. Now I'm going to go ahead and activate a different drive mode. Are you ready? Yes, let's activate brown mode. I think it's more of a bronze color, whatever it is. sport driving mode and one of the best parts of this maki, yes I actually have a screen in front of the steering wheel, I love it, in fact yes, unlike the tesla, I'm not constantly looking to see what my speed is, I have reason. here and it makes these cool geometric patterns as I accelerate, so we're about to unleash 266 horsepower of fury, in other words, 266 wild horses, 428 pound-feet of torque, okay, let's see how it feels in three, two, one, floor.

Well you know, I think up to about 25 you get a lot of torque, after that it seems to level off. I'd say it's pretty fast for 95 percent of people. If you want the faster version, you can get the larger one. battery on this one or you can stack the step up to the max on gt but yeah it's not tesla fast, not even sure it's standard dual motor fast let alone the performance but you know it's enough to pull. you're back in your space there young man hold your horses you can't get on the gt because it's not available yet it will be soon although it says it's on the way this summer yeah i like the bronco it's on the way yeah , it's good.

I mean, it responds now, it has this cool propulsion sound that for some reason isn't willing to turn on right now and I've tried resetting it, but that's a story for another day on the road. This is a much better ride than Tesla, I agree, you know we put on some small weather tires with smaller wheels and you're right, this has a much more let's call it, well, uh, refined ride after sitting in this thing. and have driven it a little. a little bit, I also feel like it's bolted together better, yeah, it's a lot less loud and squeaky to put it mildly, I mean everything you touch is very nice, I just finished it before I knew how to

build

a car, it's very polished, maybe Having said that, although Tommy, there are still some plastics, you know there are sports, it may seem like they are moving away from some cost cuts at some point, but the good news is that Ford has done some things exactly right when I let off the accelerator here, yes, full regenerative braking stops me completely. it stops me easily, I never need to use the friction brakes and these heated seats burn my butt, they are amazing yeah, and when they stop, check this out, I don't have my foot on the brake because I don't have problems at least on the mode I'm in now, so good job Ford, you really nailed it.

The only thing I will say, Tommy, is that I love the interior design. I love that screen, but it feels like a bit. a little more of a traditional car a little less special, you know, than the tesla, yeah, a little less difficult to use in the tesla, if you know what I mean, that's another way to describe it. I like this double log that they have, you know, going back to the old

mustang

, yeah, that's as big a nod to a

mustang

as you're going to get here, except, of course, all the ponies everywhere, even in the mode brown, it's not that fun. to drive like a tesla the steering gets heavier but the whole car is not as nimble it's not as possible as the model and now to load the uh maki when you're on a road trip for example you're going to You have to use a third party charger like the electrify america evgo charging point because it has a different plug, it's not part of the Tesla ecosystem so you'll have to be a little more creative when it comes to keeping this piece charged, but in general.

Tommy I'm really impressed by the maki I think you know this is a much better job for all the old school students on the focus CD if you remember that was on the old Jay Leno show yeah apart from Too much Tesla. Established automakers, this is by far the best vehicle I have ever driven. I mean, he's the highest ranked. It is the best in terms of technology. It is the best in terms of electrical integration. I mean, this is a ground-up electric vehicle, it's not a converted vehicle. What Ford has done right with the maki is that it's very difficult to compete with models like this and, having said that, there are a few glitches here and there, like the back of the camera that's having a 70s dance party with me.

What's up with that guy? I mean, how do you make this sound good? Well, you can activate the propulsion sound by clicking on that button. Okay, it just went out. Yeah, what's going on there? Just turn it off. Oh, okay, for your safety. some have been disabled, okay, let me stop here, wait, wait, turned off the sound while you move like this will somehow distract you, okay, yeah, okay, we're stopped, okay, here we go, here we go, no , no he did not. I want to make the sound, there are a couple of bugs to work out, man, that Tesla will fart all day, cool dad, that's awesome, I appreciate that it's one of the key selling points of Apple or Dell, in other words , Tesla or Ford either way, you probably won't go. wrong and if the computer battles of yesteryear are a sign of things to come, I think Ford has a hit on their hands, yeah I mean I think the strong is a better car all around, it feels better put together, it's More comfortable, easier to use in a Tesla, however I'm not convinced it's a better electric car.

I think Tesla still has the edge when it comes to battery technology and charging infrastructure, such important things to consider, yes, and to me, the Tesla is a more fun car. but we have to try the gt version of this before we can absolutely put the tfl seal of approval on it and

ford

, i mean yeah you did a good job with the maki, it's a proper effort from an established manufacturer to create a Take Down Evie , okay, let's get into the world's toughest electric car, Tesla. In fact, we're going to make it even harder for these two vehicles and that's coming to the Fastlane car very soon, as always.
