Why the Mustang Mach E is better than the Tesla Model Y

I like the MME because it has character/heritage.

I like the design better.

I like the "underdog" nature of Ford going against Tesla in this space.

I like the second screen in front of the driver.

I like Apple Car Play/Android Auto.

I'm hoping the driving dynamics are as good if not better than Tesla.

I'm hoping we'll see more tuning options and/or Ford Performance stuff.

I'm hoping that the MME won't have ticky-tack issues like misaligned body panels, and gaps.

I'm on the fence about the dealer network (both sales and service), charging network, and it being a brand new vehicle.

The tax credit makes the MME about even to the Tesla.

The Model Y is, I'm sure great, despite cosmetic issues. However it is a bit too sterile for me.

I'm curious what do you do? Always use public charging for your day to day needs or use Level 1 at home.

BTW, I just thought, the license fee in Michigan is based on the base MSRP, so for a premium MME that's listed as $50k (awd/we is an option). Not sure what a model y is, but I'm thinking it's more?

Did you buy it in Michigan? If you had to go to Ohio and get it, they might have screwed you buy taking the bill of sale..

Or just as likely, they SOS just screwed you over, it's kind of in their mandate!

Yeah, I think he bought it in CBus. Another win for the Buckeyes!

O-H!!

A win in the sense that was one less Tesla in town?

MME should have the proper torque applied to the lower control arm nuts.

The commenters that feared the car already came without the nuts examined the pictures and concluded they were initially there, but fell off with time. What is weird is that RoyalDoveMY's EV is "barely a month old"

The bottom line is that Tesla vehicles still seem to be getting out of the factory without proper torque in key safety components such as the low ball joint nut. That turns this suspension issue into way more than just an aesthetical concern. This is a safety matter...

Yikes. That's crazy.

Yikes. That's crazy.

I don't know which is more crazy - that the problems continue to exist or that people on the TMC wanted to "hide" the problem and not report it to NHTSA so that the company's reputation is not hurt. That's crazy!
