Has anyone seen any discussion regarding the MachE’s top speed?
For example Tesla Model Y LR has a top speed of 135 mph, the Model 3 145mph.

I need to know before I get in a race. (really just curious)

The 12/20/2019 revision of the tech specs PDF included top speed. None of the revisions published prior or since have included this information.

I have no idea if they've remained the same, so these numbers may be inaccurate:

111 mph for all models except GT. 124 mph for GT.

It's 130 according to Motor 1. Not sure conditions, temps, pressure, etc.

Both the RWD and AWD have enough power to go faster.
The top speed of 111 mph is very likely limited by maximum motor speed and gearing;
rear motor 9.05 and 109 rpm/mph gives 12,100 rpm (no tire slip assumed, may start to be a factor)
front motor 10.0 and 120.5 rpm/mph gives 13,375 rpm

The GT may have a front motor similar to the rear motor, with 9.05 gearing - we don't yet know.
109 rpm/mph at 124 mph gives 13,500 rpm (similar to AWD front motor).

Speed rating of tires also matters:
S rated tires go to 112 mph/180 kph, (lines up with RWD/AWD)
while U rated tires go 124 mph/200 kph (lines up with GT)

Not only does tire rating also matter, I’d say it’s the driving factor for most, if not all, speed limiting. You can easily imagine why manufacturers don’t want to deal with the potential liability from selling cars that outperform the ratings of the factory tires.
Speed limiting is less about the vehicles’ drivetrain limitations and more about the limits from the tires selected and sold by the manufacturers.

You may want to test it several times and in different conditions to ensure consistency and ability to duplicate results.... for science.

What is the Mach-E's top speed?

Fast enough to get you a $500 fine and a 30 day driver's license suspension in California. :)

Over 100 Miles Per Hour

Motorists who get caught driving faster than 100 miles per hour face enhanced consequences. The penalties for exceeding 100 miles per hour are:


  • First offense. For a first offense, the driver is looking at a maximum base fine of $500 and up to 30 days of license suspension.
  • Second offense. A motorist who’s convicted of driving faster than 100 miles per hour for a second time within three years faces a maximum $750 base fine and six-month license suspension (or restricted license).
  • Third offense. A motorist who’s convicted of driving faster than 100 miles per hour for a third time within five years faces a maximum $1,000 base fine and one-year license suspension (or restricted license).

Pretty sure there is German autobahn video that shows actual 115 mph converted.
