Ford Range Increase Coming?

Actually it's your choice. The rest of us know the Y is the more comparable vehicle.

I don't want a Y, so I would never compare it to the Mach-E.

What I'm saying is that it's your choice to compare two different classes of vehicles. The rest of us are comparing the MME within it's class.

I could compare an Accord to an Explorer, but it wouldn't mean anything as far as how well the Explorer relates to the competition.

Or to put it another way... OF COURSE the smaller vehicle gets better mileage.

Even if they gave it a 100kWh battery and it went 600 miles from a 10-90% charge cheaper than everyone, I still wouldn't buy a Tesla. I used to want one but too many bumpers, tail lights, and roofs falling off for me. Tesla is dead to me until they can make a whole car for 2-3 years straight.

That's great news, I think the Mach E will come in around 315 miles. Don't forget this is Ford's first attempt at a non compliance EV so out the gate it is a huge step in the right direction. I'm sure they will improve range, pricing, etc as time goes on

Pretty much. Tesla's build quality is awful.

Why when the range is so poor compared to a Model 3 (or even a Model Y)?

Because it's a bigger vehicle (i. a different class, i.e. apples to oranges).

Same reason the Y doesn't have the same range as the 3.

Again... while I don't compare the price of the Y to the Mach-E, because I'm not interested in buying a Y... the Mach-E can't match the Y's range either.

A Mach-E First Edition, so $58,300 for 270 miles, when the comparable Model Y is $8,310 less for 51 more miles of range.

That's fine for YOUR decision making, but AGAIN, you're comparing apples to oranges. Why would you expect the MME to have the same range/mileage as a smaller class of vehicle? That's wholly illogical. That's like expecting the Y to have the same range/mileage as the 3. Are you expecting that too?

As for the Y vs the MME, all we have is a preliminary 300 on the MME. The Y started at a preliminary 300 too...

"The $47,000 long-range Model Y will come first in the fall of 2020, and it will have a range of 300 miles, Musk said."

No, that doesn't mean that at all.
