The only thing Tesla has over Mach-E

[scott_77]

I guess to each his own. I’ve read a lot of posts in this forum about the “broken” Speedo. I have a ‘24 Premium, so haven’t logged as many hours as others here. However, I don’t view the current location of the Speedo as “broken”, but rather a choice Ford made to prioritize the ACC/Blue Cruise feature over having a speedometer dead center.

I’ve been using Blue Cruise and really like monitoring the position of the car center screen, especially while in hands free mode. I can still monitor my speed fine. That said, if Ford moves things back around or gives us a menu option to choose from multiple layouts (ideal), perhaps I’ll feel differently.

Is the issue with 'broken' speedo location the fact you can't have it centered at all times or, like me, up until a week ago, didn't realize there is a way to center the speedometer? So long as you disable lane centering with button on wheel AND disable distancing in settings AND don't have navigation that uses ICD displayed arrows...it is a choice for the driver... but I think the complaint is that we can't customize it. I personally am good w the ability to see it when I am in full control and ok with not seeing it centered when using blue cruise or adaptive speed control since I locked in the speed at that point I needed

Meanwhile... Lidar vs Camera

yeah because tesla vehicles (refresh) are good since they fixed all of the issues

Ride quality is now good.

Noise isolation is good. Model 3/Y refresh is significantly quieter than a mach-e

pre-refresh vehicles could not have been bad if they sold millions of them

Edit:

Camera placement on tesla is not enough for full self driving. At minimum I need a bumper camera (which could be a retrofit) and possible front side-facing cameras

Not sure teslas need frameless windows. Don't know if there's any reason they don't have a thin door frame

I’m glad you’re enjoying your experience. All the power to you. But know this: no one here cares. We had an option to buy a shit mobile and decided to pay more money to buy a Mach-E (I bought two of them). Are we a majority of people? No. MY sells more. And that’s totally fine by us.

Also, the trend of people dumping their vehicle is not a Ford problem. It’s the shit mobile’s. So I advise you to sell yours asap because the longer you wait, the less you will get for it.

Good luck to you, and I mean that sincerely.

people dumping teslas are simply due to elon. I'm a democrat and have zero reason to get rid of my tesla and would gladly buy another in the future

Besides, look how many people want elon to leave tesla because they WANT to buy a tesla. That's not the car's problem

Cyber truck sales are almost 1/10th of what's expected, a MYP new is $31k near me, honestly Tesla might fold within a year, Elmo bricks all the cars and boards a rocket to mars. I have no concerns Ford will close its doors in the near term.

Cybertruck sales are poor because it's an expensive, polarizing vehicle

At $40K that was originally promised, cybertruck would sell like hotcakes

Model Y low prices are because the refresh is around the corner.

That refresh is going to take longer than around the corner as Tesla is waiting...for some of the newest components to arrive. Soon is the word frequently heard.

Tesla sales are down in China sales and will never recover. European sales are down and will be taken over by the China. Tesla US sales are down for a million reasons, one being Elon himself. Elon has moved on from Tesla and now considers it a robotics company. He is focused on Power, breaking our government, freaking South African tourist, and getting our government to pay for the research necessary to build the tech so he can move his brood to Mars.

Soon? Tesla refresh is literally already out

The only thing people are waiting for is the non launch edition. It is the same as the launch model without forced upgrades

Tesla is selling a less than $35K car to manufacture for $60K before tax incentive.

Ford wishes they had such profit margin

Tesla sales in china are nothing to do with elon but rather chinese brands are cheaper. Tesla is fairly cheap in china compared to the US.

In china, tesla charges for FSD while the other brands it is included free.

Tesla launch edition model Y sold more than 100K units which dwarfs ford sales. For a vehicle that has nearly tons of forced upcharges baked into it.

Soon as in what insiders are stating. Tesla does not have all the hardware in their hands. Soon is the correct word. Exactly as promising a self driving car since 2017 but needing repeated Hardware upgrades.

how can it be soon when model Y refresh is being pumped out at a very high rate

there is a way to center the speedometer

Not on all years. Some are permanently set with the speed off to the left regardless of ADAS status. If you’re in a 2021 through 23 with all Adas off you still see a centered car icon with absolutely nothing around it.

@FordPR : make no mistake. Chinese EV makers are coming. And they listen to their clients.

Well that’s only because spying on their customers is the law in China:

But wait, tesla had over 2 million deposits for cybertruck (of course it was only a $100 deposit so not pretty meaningless.) And of course cybertruck sales fell off a cliff. To save tesla elmo needs to be RIFed from the company.
I'm for setting up a go fund me to speed elmo on a ship to mars and can think of a few people that could join him?.
