So obviously EPA estimates aren't out yet, but assuming a minimum EPA range of 300 mi, I think we're in good shape. Tesla model Y has an estimated 315 mi range with what I believe to be about ~75 kWh battery. I know throughout the years Telsa has been able to increase the range of their vehicles simply through software updates. Since the Mach-E ER is starting with a ~98 kWh battery, I'm hoping they have a lot of room for improvement with OTA. I'm hopeful that Ford will start catching up with Telsa software-wise and we'll be seeing range improvements the first years of ownership. I mean, if they were starting with a 75 kWh battery I'd be less hopeful, but I'm hoping a battery with about 33% higher capacity will eventually lead to better range with more experience from Ford.
Maybe someone with better knowledge of drag coefficient and weight comparisons can weigh in, but I'm hoping if Tesla can add range through software, so can Ford.
