    Looks like a great result to me. Now for the same low speed and high speed tests on your Tesla model Y for some more real world comparisons between these two vehicles. 👍

      @@TedKidd they probably would be, but there is only one way to find out. According to Tesla though the model Y (any model) should do significantly better, which is just not true in reality, and it would be nice to see a die hard Tesla supporter like EV Dave show the raw and unbiased real world data since he has all these vehicles to test with.
      How about it Dave, can we count on you to test this for the EV community?
      Great vids!👍

      @@joecmarques keeping in mind the battery is 25% smaller in the Tesla. (Or 33% larger in Ford...?)
      If I had to bet, Tesla (without performance tires) will go 250 at 75, 365 at 50.
      But I believe Dave's car has performance tires, so 230/320

      @@TedKidd I don't think anyone in the EV community debates Tesla efficiency, they are clearly top notch at squeezing as much as possible out of the battery, and they should be since they have over a decade head start.
      But to put things back in perspective we are not talking about a battery here. We are talking about two overall finished products here, the Mach-E and the Model Y are priced identically, but the Tesla is rated higher than the Mach-E, no one really cares about the battery size unless we are talking about charging times. If Tesla advertises 300 miles range on a full charge, then you should get 300 miles range, period the end. A guy who just paid for more miles on the Tesla doesn't want to hear how he paid the same price as the Mach-E but got less miles than the Mach-E but but in theory got better efficiency... he wants the range he was sold because that's what he paid for.

      @@joecmarques I agree that there are morons like that out there.
      Funny how the same people never complain about the range of their 20 gallon gas tank "isn't exactly what the EPA said it would be"
      I've come to realize that attempting to fix stupid is a fool's errand, and suggest you accept that as well. Makes life easier.

    Which Mach E was this? 4WD or rear wheel drive with extended battery?

  • @cbromley562
    @cbromley562 Před 3 lety +1

    Yep, that’s a much more pleasant speed on the highway, and 231 miles is plenty.
    I hope Ford concentrate on efficiency though. There’s just shy of 100kWh(?) strapped to that horsey, while ‘EV Database’ has the Model Y LR at 75kWh (72.5kWh useable).
    I know it looks a bit pedantic, but the Y is saving a quarter the precious battery fire power, which would allow for roughly 250,000 more Mach-es produced for every 1,000,000 cars at present, for the same (current) total battery cell usage. The running costs would also be lower, especially with regular distance driving, with a more efficient 75 kWh battery pack.
    If you, Hank and Luna are up for it, it would be interesting to see how the Y fairs on this route.

    Thanks Dave. I wonder if Ford will offer a similar program to Tesla offering 1000 free miles to you and people who order a car using your link. My guess is no, since Ford uses dealerships and Tesla does not. Tesla made is the USA and Mach E made in Mexico.
