I saw this, should have tested a model y instead of model 3. But not bad with mach e efficiency( I guess it was pretty decent temp , and not too cold)

Love Matt Watson - I think this may the second time he's done a "drive 'em 'till the die" video. His last was pretty good too.

It's a weird comparison.

iX and Mach-E don't fit with the two other sedans.

Fair comparison would have been BMW i4, EQS, Model3 LR and separately Model Y, Mach-E, iX.

Ummm.....that looks like Mach E Select with Extended Range Battery? Only in the UK? With those numbers they would get 598kms EPA out of a charge. That is insane.

He did get it wrong on the Mach E not having a Frunk

The Mach—E has a FRUNK??!!?? Oh, wait. I chill there.

Cocktails, anyone?

No frunk button in the app, so it doesn't exist?

Surprised the iX didnt come in higher. It's been reported to have a higher than expected range

So we can drive another 20mi on 0% battery? Lowest I've ever done is 8% and I was pretty nervous going that low.

Yeah there's a reserve, but it's not recommended to use it up

We had to go down to 3% last summer and 7% a couple of weeks ago. Road-tripping in Texas takes steady nerves.

It's weird that the Model 3 was included in this instead of the Y. Otherwise, it's a good review. The points about the Mach-E are absolutely on point. The ride is bouncy, the brakes are VERY grabby, and it doesn't have as much trunk space compared to its peers. Also, the price range the BMW and Mercedes is about 2x that of the Mach-E. This comparison is strange to say the least. The Mach-E looks great from the exterior, and the interior fit and finish are also excellent. But it really falls behind in everything else. BUT.... you don't need to go into a friggin menu to change the distance control setting in the Mach-E. WTF BMW???

We are in Texas as well, and had the same thing happen, traveling from Denton to Austin last Christmas when the cold front came through the Ford Connected Navigation had us planned to stop at the EA station in Roundrock with 30 miles to spare, in temple it changed to a ChargePoint in George Town with 20 miles to spare we got there with only 10 miles to spare.
And that was driving for the last 30 miles at 65 in a 75. We had the heat set at 65 the whole time with seat heaters running.

Surprisingly the trip was 196 miles so that meant our ER AWD Premium only had 206 high mileage range in the cold. (Average temperature was 25°)

The only thing to add to it though was we did have a head wind, just not sure how much of one.
