All very good points. I can't help but think Ford might be walling off the batteries as well and their rating might be more real world accurate than Tesla's. We'll have to wait and see.
Truthfully, a traditional Ford customer probably doesn't want to think about charging habits. They just want...
Range is a very important point. For you to have 150-200 miles of range, you will need 270 or more of rated range to achieve it. Typical you only charge to %80 of rated battery range and recharge before %20. This has been show to help the life of the batteries. The only time you would charge to...
Got Yeah now. The web sight prices are only starting points., you've optioned one out very nicely. I would like to see them follow Tesla on 0 to 60 times, RWD's mid 5's, AWD mid 4's, The GT does match the performance Model y at mid 3's. I test drove the Model 3 that went mid 5's. It was still...
I rented the mid 5 second Model 3 for the day. It's quick and impressed my family and friends. Most people will be very happy with that. I feel Ford shouldn't make any version of the Mach E slower than mid 5's. Instant torque is one of the greatest benefits of BEV's and if it drives like a...
The $60,000 Mach e is the GT, It's a mid 3 second car. The mid 5 second select starts at $46,500. The mid 3 second Model Y starts at $61,000 for comparison.
To have the Tesla automatically change lanes, you have to buy the $7000 full self driving package. It would be nice if Ford included this for free.
Tesla is now charging for a performance update on the model 3 AWD. It's $2000 for about a 1/2 second drop in 0-60 time.
It doesn't look like it trounced anything to me. It just looks like a Mustang driving next to a Tesla. I don't think the mustang could care less about the Tesla. It's just an aftermarket Tesla accessory company trying to sell its merch.
You said Performance, 0 to 60 is a key measure of performance. That's why they list it as part of the Mach E spec's. Plus, they have the performance model which handles fantastic on tracks. I do understand what you mean about it having a yuppy-posh image, I think most people feel that way. I...
You can get a Model 3 with stealth package for $50,000 or a full performance version for $56,000. They both do 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds. That's faster than any stock Ford mustang or Shelby. The Model s can get in the mid 2 second range. The Model 3 AWD is 4.4 seconds and the base model 3 is 5.2...
Shihear, the base Tesla model 3 is RWD only.
Midnight Blue, the AWD is dual motors not dual batteries.
I'm very excited about the Mach E. I just hope they up their tech game as well. It's going to take more than 0 to 60 times and 300 mile range to compete.
