It's weird how you can get a "Mustang" with no exhausts and a Camry with "quad exhausts".
Haha, so true
True
Its not true quads. Both outer exhausts are fake.
Mustang was originally a family car
Out of the 4 exhaust outlets on the Camry, only two are functional.
I wonder if Doug Jr. enjoys the bedtime stories from car owner's manuals.
I do

Funny!
Doug upsetting Tesla owners, Prius owners and Mustang owners at the same time. Absolute legend
It's even funnier when you find out that Doug used to own a Prius.

Doug in this video is offending both Mustang fanboys and Tesla fanboys.
And I love it. Keep up!
Right! Because as a Ford fanboy those Tesla fanboys are Hell! I don't know who's worse, Tesla fanboys, Apple Fanboys or Samsungs? Seriously they are some of the most vicious.
@@twany442 Agreed. As someone who is a fanboy of neither, the Ford fanboys are FAR more tolerable than the Tesla fanboys.
@@twany442 It's a result of media putting false stories trying to destroy Tesla especially in the early days. Ultimately I think that galvanized the fan base. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet tried for years to bring Tesla down with short selling plays in the stock market, Bill having indirect ownership of MS NBC.
@@steveseeger No thhe media isn't in trying to destroy Tesla. The fan boys are doing it on their own. They are vicious with high elements of smugness and they are intolerable. I can't even enjoy something Ford has done even if it doesn't consist of an EV and yet the Tesla's Fanboys are still on spewing hate. So no you're absolutely wrong.
Much better than a boring POS Tesla with poor quality control
One important thing Doug failed to mention is that the Mustang Mach-E currently qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit where the Tesla vehicles don’t. Technically the Mach-E GT costs much less than the model Y.
@@idk-gq3lh there is a limit to how many tax credits car companies can give… Tesla ran out a long time ago
This is a pretty big omission. He actually says the Mach-E is slightly cheaper than the Y when driving the car but I think he accidentally misspoke (correctly) around the 15:00 mark. With the tax credit, this car should get an extra pt in that Doug Score
Good point. Although if the tax credit bill passes that all changes anyway (and prices are changing all the time too), so in a few months who knows.... And you can't even get a Model Y Long Range until well into next year anyway so it's almost impossible to really forecast.
Ya well How much does it cost to replace a Battery? And Why does our government think they can Build electric Cars and demand them. When they can't even Get 1 chip.. and that cripples the entire auto industry for almost 2 years now
@@future.mortician It's called our Government wasting our dollars to Mandate we all drive electric cars and give up our freedom of choice
Please someone get Doug in a Rivian. I really want to hear his honest opinions on it and I'm sad that such a huge number of other CZcamsrs who don't normally do cars got the chance before him.
Doug already teased the Rivian review on his Instagram.
Its Because he only cares about cars n bids now, thats his cash cow. CZcams is not that important anymore.
problem with the rivian is that its going to be a fucking hundred grand before you get it HALF decently equipped... regardless of EV rebates its impractically expensive... its flat out cheaper to eat the cost of 22mpg in my 2020 ram with a hemi than pay the extra cost for the EV but cheaper fuel (electric per mile vs gas per mile) and thats not even taking into account the STUPIDDDDD parts of owning an EV like the fact the charge will be drastically shorter in winter and you have to plan long distance vacations around charging spots
@@HarryMollyNut Doug said that he still values CZcams. That's his business.
@@HarryMollyNut yeah right ...people with half his channel and no staff make 800k-2 million a month just from adsense and at least double that from sponsorships ....youtube is a huge cash cow don't be fooled ....and his channel can get much bigger than it already is
Something about the Tesla people coming from Priuses for some reason was hilarious but incredibly accurate
Glad I’m not the only one that found that humorous.
Leave Prius owners alone XD.

My friend recently let me drive his new Mach-E. Never mind all the other quirks and features, my absolute favourite is the fact that you can program it to emit a V8 rumble under acceleration. It's hilariously useless, but I wouldn't turn it off.
Horrendous

@@whale4565 I'm allowed to have my own opinion.
@@whale4565 listening to a speaker isn't fun
When i picked up a a set of 1yo winter tires the owner just recently bought a standard Mach 1. I got the opportunity to have a seat. Inside it's the typical American interior with the huge display in the middle and a rather surprisingly tiny instrument screen in front of the driver. The door "handle" even though odd looking is actually very practical. I also thought it would be much bigger which really surprised me. 😮

The rims give me Subaru crostek vibes

For anyone who doesn't understand why handling matters more that tenths of a second in acceleration I challenge you to take a test ride in a 160-ish hp Miata.
Eh... People who don't understand why handling matters, quite frankly, aren't car enthusiasts and they don't care about cars. They want a status symbol, another way to boast about the silly numbers game the car world has become.
"My car does 0-60 in XX seconds, my car does the quarter mile in XX seconds, and my car fits my massive cock too!" And of course, they never EVER enjoy the car's handling capabilities or characteristics, they drive it from point A to B and that's it.
If they drive a miata, they're gonna complain that it's too small, too slow, and/or not worth the price. They don't care, they just want to use them as transportation with the added bonus of fashion or flaunting wealth.
@@njoythedrive Oh sure, they'll enjoy that 0-60 time, right into the back of another car or a light post in a parking lot trying to show it off
@@njoythedrive For sure, that’s honestly what I dislike about muscle cars here in the US. Realistically, they’re mostly driven by people who know nothing about cars in general. They just know they like Mustangs or Chargers because it has a big v8 and that alone equals performance. A Challenger Hellcat or Raptor in the hands of a normal person isn’t a performance car any more than a Camry or base model RAM is, yet that’s mostly who’s buying them, in my area at least.
@@njoythedrive you have to take into consideration that not everyone wants good handling because some people live in areas where they don’t have good driving roads. Some people just want straight line acceleration because they’ll use that more than good handling.

Best and most honest review........I drove both and thought the same thing.......accelerating from driving speeds was better to me with the Mach E GT but both cars were great......after the shock of this being Mustang .....as a person who owned a 1969 428 Cobra Jet.......it did not disappoint because honestly it accelerated much better than that car.
Most "spot" races happen from 40 to 50 mph on and instant torque is one hell of a thing......miss that grunt and noise of my Cobra Jet.....440 Coronet......454 Chevelle.....and 455 GS......but that Mustang and Tesla would blow their doors off.....quietly....LOL
yeah i love that theyre fast but i can only see myself buying an EV as a daily. for my fun, fast, weekend car im going gas guzzling v8 every time😂
Great review, as usual, Doug. I was curious how the two compared. Thank you.
His hands travelled 10,000 miles in just this video alone 😳

Haha 😂
"It feels like a Mustang ".....Mustang people have left the chat...and are on the way to Doug's house to beat his @ss
Can you blame them though? You have to understand what type of people will be buyng theese cars and what people would buy an actual mustang. Just imagine a random girl with a kid coming up to you while you are getting out of a 2015 mustang sayng "hey, i have a mustang too!" And showing you this thing. Its infuriating because it doesnt actually represent what a mustang has always been known as, and while the car itself might not be bad, it's still not what the badge claims. Any other name could have made this a really well recieved SUV from the car community and they went ahead and did this as a marketing trick, wich car people logically took as an insult to the legacy of the mustang.
Mustang in name only. Same as the 1974-1978 mustang ii
@@Ferrari255GTO"it doesnt actually represent what a mustang has always been known as" - who decides again what a Mustang is and what not? "it's still not what the badge claims" - who decides again what a Mustang is and what not? right. Ford does and not haters like you😊 "its not a real mustang 😡😢🥺" LIKE JUST STFU. Its a Mustang. PERIODT. FACTS dont CARE aboy ya FEELINGS :)
@@zzygyy The Mustang 2 Cobra is my favorite Mustang. Small with a big V8 and looks amazing. (rare too)
Mustangs are already known as the jackass's entry level sports car. Combine that with a Tesla, you've compounded the issue tenfold.
They really should have named this to the Thunderbird line, or maybe even bring back the Torino line, since those were more luxury/family oriented, also having the electric ford lightning with the electric ford thunderbird just makes sense
It's nice looking but I don't get the name?weird
Its really simple , it has nothing to do with car people. MUSTANG is the only brand name known worldwide that they could use to draw attention. They are doing same thing with BRONCO brand, spinning it off as a sub brand that means cool off road vehicles.
The Speed Racer Edition?
Should have been called the Ford Grand Mach-E.
It needed a new name. NO legacy Ford name fits, except maybe E-conoline. 😉
Thanks alot for all of your efforts, your videos are top notch!
Doug: Focus RS has too many badges!
Also Doug: I wish the Mach e GT had more badges
Yeah Doug is contradictory alot of the times, but I still love his reviews.
@@user-xw4vg1vy5e honestly, most entertaining. You can watch the entire review without getting bored
@@user-xw4vg1vy5e Well, the RS is plastered with badges and the GT only has what.. 4 of them? I guess he's saying he expected more indication that he's driving the performance model. Maybe a rear wing, side scoops, hood scoops, etc. Same with the Teslas. It's hard for the untrained eye to tell when a performance version is rolling by.
Doug's thoughts on Tesla is just dead on.
He forgot to mention body panel fitment, while I'm no fan of Ford, I do have to say I'm sure the panel gaps are even while those tesla gaps are... we'll call them "getting better."
He also forgot to mention the most important aspect of electric cars. Charging. Tesla is so far ahead of everyone in charging station it’s a joke. Doug travels far distances and doesn’t even mention this, must not have experienced the tragedy of charging a Mach E on a road trip.
@@robob221 Depends on the country. Here in Germany there are less Tesla Charging Station than the ones that work for all other electric cars. So the infrastucture regarding charging stations is coming along very well here in Germany & Tesla doesn't have the best charging network anymore.
The Argument regarding Charging Stations seems to be mostly coming from the US and especially the UK where finding a Tesla Charging Station seems to be very easy while not so much for other electric cars. But it definitely is not the case here in Germany.
Which is probably also why i keep seeing more and more Audi, Mercedes, VW, Opel, BMW electric cars week by week, but of course also a lot of Teslas, but they definitely aren't the "most common electric car" you see here in Germany
@@robob221 I experienced the Mach E charging "tragedy" at least 5 times this summer on extended road trips and I am alive to talk about it. Spoiler alert - it was flawless other than having to find a slightly altered route through West Virginia. Charging isn't that different from a Tesla. -Especially for as infrequent most people need to charge away from home. If you live in an apartment, different story. Buy a Tesla (still depends on where you live though - my area has more non-Tesla super charging locations that Super Chargers). If you are able to install a Lvl 2 charger at home, charging should be similar and I advise people to consider other pro/cons first. Might be odd that Doug didnt mention it but also refreshing because it's not as big of a factor as Tesla owners want everyone to believe. PS - I don't hate Tesla (wanted one until the competition started catching up) but the cult is boring.
Agreed. Tesla people all come from A to B cars and think Tesla Performance is the end all be all lol
Who thinks in like a year or two, they should release a full “wagon” version. Square off that back end. I’d be way way more interested as a full SUV/Crossover wagon.
But then they couldn’t really call it a mustang, wouldn’t retain any of the features
@@extremeencounter7458 it never did, lol
This so called mustang nor what you are explaining should be called a mustang. However they are both pretty awesome ideas....Don't understand why they felt the need to call it the mustang, obviously people are interested in fast electric cars with cargo space regardless if it has a familiar name it's not the freakin 50s guys there's this thing called the internet.
@@nateplissken3019 Controversy sells dude. If they called it a Ford Fairlane, no one would've taken notice.
@@alansmith2693 Yea for a quick fix....i.e. things people can afford to impulse buy or news. Most folks can't afford to impulse buy a car but I guess now a days plenty do regardless. I would think it will repel the majority of their mustang fan base to include the target market that they once went for. I would say cars like the Camaro are going to get a bit of a bump in sales thanks to this move. To me it doesn't make since, I'm a purest when it comes to cars, and many of the mustang target market for the last 56 years are as well. I.e. the manual transmission crowd. Like I said cool idea as far as the car itself is concerned, horrible marketing idea and really not needed. There is a huge market for EVs already, no need to be controversial about it. Just my opinion. I know for me if I want a mustang ill just buy any generation but this one and if I want an EV this new "mustang" won't be in the running thanks to this ridiculous marketing technique. Call me petty if you want but I'll throw money at a tesla before this thing just out of spite and I'm a Ford fan boy. I have owned and enjoyed 2 F-250s, 1 expedition, 1 focus, 1 F-150 and 2 mustangs. Guess I'm not there target market anymore just like many former mustang owners.
Thanks for your excellent and unbiased perspective! It is a great way for me to catch up on the quickly progressing electric market without spending too much delving into the research.
Never thought "mustang" and "suv" would come together
Unfortunately we live in a sad world where it’s possible
And electric..
They should have just called it the Mach E, and Mach E GT. That way when the inevitable electric ACTUAL Mustang happens, it can be the Mustang Mach E
Way to go Ford. Cant wait to see you butcher the E Mustang name given you already used the best possible one for it.
I said the same thing about the Mitsubishi Eclipse. Cars are dying man, but some cool cars are coming about at the same time. But yeah the ever changing car market is kinda worrying at times. Kinda like how the new Porsche is a Taycon Turbo S. But it's electric. No turbo in sight.
@@agnez3877 wtf
16:12 YESSSSS THANK YOU DOUG I’ve been a car enthusiast since middle school and hate hearing people say that one car is better than another only because it’s quicker at 0-60.
The only problem is that Tesla model Y is better in every single way 😂
@@TESLAenjoyer But... It's not.
As Doug mentions, the Mach E GT is a better driving car, even if not as quick. It is more familiar to people leaving conventional ICE sports cars behind, and it has arguably much better looks.
@@TESLAenjoyer in what way ? The quality of tesla is garbage
Yeah, and even then, numbers aren't everything. I can have fun in both my WRX STI and my Geo Metro. They're completely different cars and I have entirely different kinds of fun in them, but I still enjoy both of them in their own ways.
(My Metro can out-stop most vehicles and it's on really old 145-width tires, so it amazes me each time that it does.)
@Catholic Firefighter An electric car will never work as a penis enlarger as they sound like vacuum cleaners at best.
I think in a comparison between the mustang and model y it’s important to talk about the charging network.. from what I’ve heard it’s a much better experience with Tesla.. would’ve been nice to hear Doug’s thoughts on that.
I personally still drive a good old gasoline Toyota, and the Rivian is the most attractive option for me right now.. so I’m no fanboy at least I don’t think so..
Model Y and MachE are range tested on different epa testing cycles (2 v 5 cycle). So use wltp to determine who has better range. 480 for Model Y Performance, 500 for MachE GT (km)
It's pretty well documented that Tesla is overpromising and Ford, under on their mileage ranges.
Nothing screams Muscle Car like a Soccer Mom SUV.
Exactly. Idk wtf Doug was thinking.

Love your work DDM!
Great review. Enjoyed the insight about handling and overall driving experience. I have had model 3 performance for 2 and a half years and love it, its just not as practical as the crossover style vehicles. I really like the look of the Mach E. I agree, it's a more attractive vehicle than the Tesla. One thing you didn't touch on is Tesla charging network. I only use charging network on long trips, but the experience is easy. Something I don't hear about electrify America network.
Doug casually cleaning his snicker finger smudge off the rear door when closing the door……. Very smooth, Doug. Very smooth.
Time stamp?
That Model 3/Y screen is the single largest reason we opted to purchase a Model S. The Model S is more like a car than the 3/Y. Nice review Doug.
I am 100% sure that if people who buy an extra $50k to spend on a car they'd also buy a Model S over the 3/Y for the same reason.
I'm glad both vehicles exist. I think if you are going longer distances the extra range is nice but the Supercharger network is an even bigger benefit. The various chargers used by the Ford are not nearly as good. Also, I have heard a few issues where Ford dealers are just unable to repair the EVs. They don't have tooling, replacement parts, or knowledge and I'm not entirely convinced the Ford model is better for EVs. I'm sure that will change as they dealers get up to speed but I would do more research in this before buying one.
I saw a regular Mach-E on the road a few days ago and it was confusing at first, then I realized oh wait it's a Mach-E. They look so good in person, especially in that blue metallic color.
This asks the all important question: if you can't hear a Mustang from three blocks away, is it really a Mustang?
If I owned it, I would probably refer to it as the Mach E instead of Mustang Mach E. I'm pretty sure most others will do the same.
You can still hear the sound of people screaming as it drives through a crowd
@@Vinrx7 I'm kind of considering one. I told my girlfriend I would be referring to it as a Mach E. And that the word Mustanf wouldn't be used at all to describe the car. She agreed.
Although, I could probably live with the top level non GT. I just can't see spending $20k for a .5 in 0-60. I'd rather have the extra range.
@@steveawesome9538 I'm also considering this (Mach E). I'm debating on if I want to spend the extra money on the GT. I would want to get it before the end of the year so I dont miss out on the federal rebate. The rebate amount might go down or be completely gone by 2022 so I would need to find a dealership with these in stock. Turns out there is one by my house that has the GT. Not sure if they allow test drives but I'll have to make a decision quick.
@@Vinrx7 go find a dealership that has one. Ask them to hold it, find your way to the dealership. If you like it, buy it and drive it home. By the time you get home you'll be an expert on how to charge it.
Road trip! Might be a lot of fun knowing you'll have to stop and take a break every few hours to charge the car and maybe look around at stuff.
The biggest difference that Doug did not mention is that on MME one is still eligible for a USD 10K rebate, for a Model Y it is a BIG No.
That is likely to change within 2 months though. Depending on how the new rules regarding made in the USA turn out, the (made in Mexico) Mach-E might even end up with lower incentives than the Tesla.
The GT may not be eligible for US tax credits if the proposed Congressional changes take place in 2022: they include a potential cap of $55k MSRP (or even less; some have suggested $40k) for tax credits. And as of now, it's $7500 credit, not $10k credit, anyway.
The other thing that has been noticed at some Ford Dealerships is that they added 20k over MSRP I can only imagine they are trying to put customers off or trying to make money due to lack of maintenance being needed.
@@cbatiau2528 You are forgetting the credit offered by different States.
@@prashantkompella5372 only a few states offer rebates, and some of those are pretty restrictive... Massachusetts is now capped at $40k or $50k MSRP...
I love this guys energy
My Mom Just bought this exact car but in red with black interior. We love it. It is crazy fast and drives very well.
Saw a yellow one from a side view in a parking lot and got excited thinking it was Lamborghini Urus, but was disappointed it was a gross E-mach
That temp peg on the back door is also to keep you from accidentally smashing your fingers in the door since they are asking you to reach in to open it.
I think that's ultimately the point, honestly can't believe Doug didn't mention it at all.
I wish Ford will revive the “Thunderbird” name for their first major electric car platform
😥 😥
That name would be more reasonable. Now they‘ve just discredited the Mustang name
Thunder is noisy. How about "Ford Stealth"? 😃
@@clasqm kind of an uninspiring name
@@clasqm i think dodge has that name
No, ruining the Mustang (and now lightning) name is way better.
Hey Doug! This is an excellent review. I’ve had this car ( in the same color) about 3 weeks now. It’s a wonderful car and the performance is amazing (although I lost an impromptu “highway race” to a 911 😂). I live about 55 miles from work and that sucks for having this vehicle. I’ve saved tons in fuel not having to drive my 5.4 F350 but I’ve also had to stop to charge my car a few times during the commute. After about 1800 miles driven in thinking of going to a hybrid vehicle.
Can you elaborate? At 110 miles a day, the range should be sufficient. I'm considering this car and would like to understand the actual day to day issues better.
the car looks great, it seems like a great car to drive, I'm happy that Ford are now making electric options and that they're good but I still can't get over the fact that they decided to call the car a mustang and gave it the mustang badge.
Shoulda just called it the Ford mach-e
really?... my all time dream car is Mustang... i absolutely hate this car.... horrible look to me
Ford really had the balls to call this the GT 😂
Yes because it is

-GT500 owner
You forgot one MAJOR plus for the Mach-E, you can get it serviced without having to travel out of town to do it. I think that's a big selling point here because one of the main reasons I havent bought a Tesla is the closest "dealership" or service center is 3 hours away from me.
💯
Don’t they send techs to your house when they don’t have a local repair centre?
You can book a Tesla Service Tech to go your house/work. You can thank the dealership unions for Teslas not being allowed to sell in all states.
@@DoughnutsInspace I agree and I don't blame Tesla for the lack of infrastructure. Regardless of who is at fault though, it's still an issue. As far as sending techs to you, well I haven't heard great things about that process either. I'm not opposed to Tesla, I am a fan of Elon and of the tech that Tesla provides, I just think they come up short in this department.
@@xraycat82 Yes they do but the whole program doesn't exactly have great reviews from those who have had to use it. People like simplicity and for reasons (some out of Elon's control) this process is not simple. That's all I was trying to say. People are already nervous enough of about the switch to electric.
I like what Doug's doing with his hands when he say caaars and bids
I'm seeing more of the "base" model Mustang Mach-Es that I expected to here in the UK
I like how people complain about having to look to the side for speed, turn signals, etc in tesla's but are strangely quiet about having to do the same thing in the Pruis line up.
Because in a Prius you're not very likely to run out of range or go over the speed limit.

Doug, I'm a big fan of you, EVs, Mustangs, but I don't wanna call this a Mustang. If Ford just made the Mustang an electric fastback, it would've been great
yeah it completely undersells the mustang concept as a whole. Big mistake by Ford to ruin its legendary product, by turning it into a big boat SUV. Tskk tssk
An electric fastback would definitely sell too.
@Scroto T Baggins Painfully true.
Doug i probably saw 50 of your clips, i have to admit your comments and comparable with the 2 models is so on the ball, driving and handling of the Mack-e Is way better and for the weight balance is prefect ...The Y kind a lean toward the front when turning...Also your comments about the Auto Pilot is very precises ...Good job Doug and thank you for all your reviews...Jean from Canada
Gotta love how there’s a fancy new Doug Score graphic followed by a pixelated screenshot of an Excel spreadsheet. Doug rules
I’m glad Doug decided to address the die hard Tesla fans. I like Tesla too but most people act is if they’re this perfect brand🤷🏽♂️
Tesla's are the apples equivalent in the car world 🙄
@@DrewHolli their software is good. But the build quality of Teslas simply is not there yet. Apple has quality from top to bottom.
@@DrewHolli are you sure about that? From my experience most apple users mind their own business. Most of toxic comments come from Android users, who can’t fathom someone preferring an iPhone, at least on twitter.

Totally agree on the maintenance support side. Hard to beat what’s been going for a long time
Nice work, Doug!
That's a gorgeous Mach e, they should make a grabber lime colour option that be perfect 👍 I'd be happy just to have the standard Rwd Mach e with long range battery ,👌👌
Doug being afraid to say correct statements just shows how unnecessarily vitriolic people are about car opinions.
"Vitriolic" that's such a good word for it.
The car community is the most toxic community I've ever seen tbh.

Not a fan of the wheels. I guess I’d pony up for the performance package for the far more attractive wheels, even sharper handling, and same acceleration as the model y performance. I suspect it will be the Doug score champion in this segment
Agree with you on the wheels, although I’ve heard you can take the black plastic pieces off, just haven’t seen what it looks like without them.
It's an SUV with a Mustang GT badge, and your issue is the wheels?
Car culture dieing right before our eyes.
@@royb5014 yup.
@@royb5014 I could care less about the badging and the wheels are just nit picking. I was referring to Doug’s dislike of the wheels and I rather agree. I’ll leave snarky comments to mustang fans who find it a sacrilege to label a small electric suv with a mustang gt badge.
It looks like it has wheels that belong on an Alpha Romero
I love how he insulted Tesla drivers as people coming from Priuses. He’s right. I drive a Tesla and the dweebs that drive it are incessant.
prius is a great car too
Relatively successful dweebs. The best of all dweebs. Or are they the worst? I don't know
He's right. I used to own a Prius before a Tesla. I've always been attracted to high-tech, futuristic cars. And for a time the Prius was the highest-tech car you could get.
So true and everything Doug said is correct. I love my M3, but the service and other experience is just the worst in the industry and I will switch to another EV as the competitors catch up.
@@b1uezea1ot you are calling your 🐸 vacuum cleaner M3?
Stop it man
The wider tires you get on the GT are the same width (245mm) as what comes stock on lower end Tesla Model Ys. The Model Y Performance comes with 255s up front and 275s in the rear. Base Mach Es come with only 225mm tires.
Doug: "but...Tesla PEOPLE..." oooo yay here we go let me get my popcorn.
Doug is proud of being a fairly tall adult
Almost comes across as if you're short, you're not even considered an 'adult' in his mind.
Wondering if you changed your mind on the self driving feature of the Mach e vs the y given the latest update where lane changing is now available
Finally, one That Looks Like The Speed Racer Mach-5. I’m still waiting to see someone put Red Seats on one of these SUV’s and the Mach-5 Sticker Logos All Around. It would be something great and amazing to see.🤩 Hopefully someone can do this idea soon 🤓
I am a car guy and I own a model three performance. I had several performance gas cars prior to this one. Your review was 100% honest, and the overwhelming majority of Tesla owners are pretentious Elon worshipers that are not car people. I would love a gauge cluster in my car. I think Tesla makes the absolute best daily driving car, but for a fun weekend car no thanks
What a great and honest comment.
I think that the Model S would be a fun weekend car, but no other Tesla would qualify...
@@cbatiau2528 If you can afford a second car just for weekends, why wouldn't you buy a real sportscar?
@@agnez3877 damn girl how thirsty are you?
One thing you didn’t mention in your comparison: charging networks
I don’t know if you’ve had experience with the various charging networks but the Supercharging network is way ahead of everything else, especially terms of ease of use.
This is the second reason I went with the model y performance over this. First was not having to deal with dealerships trying to mark these up as well as other junk they try to pull.
True but 1) not really a factor for daily/weekend driving, which is 90% of 90% of drivers' use case for a car of this type; and 2) the charging network operators Ford has in its network have been closing the gap on Tesla pretty rapidly over the last year or two, and at least where I live (mid-Atlantic) the Ford network is entirely adequate. Throw in the fact that Tesla's excellent destination charger network can be used by other cars with a relatively inexpensive adapter and the difference, while real, has less impact on real-world practicality for most owners than Tesla fanbois would have one believe. If course this dependent on one's particular use case and the particulars of the networks where one lives, so YMMV (literally).
Ford plug and charge functionality thru its app has been pretty seamless in the months we've had our Mach-E. I've only used it three times (little enough to have a lot of the free kWhs they give you remaining) but each time it's been a completely seamless plug and charge experience for me. Again, I guess it depends on where you are. There's no doubt that the fact Tesla owns its network is an advantage in terms of their quality control but I personally have no complaints.
Absolutely. As an aspiring EV owner in the midwest, there is no other option other than tesla. REALLY want a Rivian R1t, but it's just not practical here.
The supercharging network only matters on roadtrips and every day the supercharger network on electrify america is built out more and more. Tesla’s biggest strength is the battery technology advantages rather than the superficial advantage of the “better built out charging network” which is being eroded every day. Don’t get me started in rhe build quality of an traditional car company with 20-30 years minimum in car production compared to Tesla who are still working out the small issues in auto production.
Doug, I’m not saying your opinion is the end all be all but you have millions upon millions of people who respect your unbiased point of view when it comes to reviewing vehicles. That being said I feel it would be wise of auto manufacturers to pay you as a consultant to come on board as they finalize plans for vehicles they are creating to get a great point of view and maybe tweak things before the initial release of that vehicle. Makes a lot of sense because people really value your opinion and I believe after watching a review you do it could sway a lot of people decision wether to purchase said vehicle.
Doug, come to Dagestan. We'll be glad you're a great car journalist
Something Doug didn't mention- the Mach E still qualifies for a $7500 tax credit. Telsas do not which makes this significantly cheaper
I rather pay extra and have a Model Y over this garbage
Not all states. Plus look at Tesla's insane good resale value. And ford's depreciation rate. And last but not least. No Supercharging capabilities.
@@ismaelcarrillo3956 oh really? What states? I thought the $7500 was for any state but each OEM only gets a certain number of cars sold with the rebate. Tesla has gone over but Ford hasn't
czcams.com/video/f5yA-jPmZOQ/video.html
@@ismaelcarrillo3956 These are new, so there's no data on depreciation yet. Being a Ford does not mean it automatically tanks in value. Some Ford models have strong resale value, they are not all equal.
Oh, nice! Looks like Doug is reviewing the new WRX next.
it's an Outback
@@vladvulcan he was joking.
@@vladvulcan The joke just flew over your head 😂😂

Don't forget the tax rebate trade-off for the two cars. That makes the Mustang even more appealing.
Now I'll be waiting for the Mach-E SVT
Great review and good honest commentary. I have a Chevy Volt and I plan on going full electric at some point. I'm not a Tesla supporter or hater but getting service for my Volt has been no picnic even though I live in Atlanta near a few different Chevy dealers. You would assume buying an EV from a legacy brand with established dealers would be an advantage but since most dealers only have one or two EV certified techs, I have been finding that it takes at least a month to get scheduled for service compared to my wife's Hyundai Tucson which I can normally get an in for service in less than a week. It is worth the wait usually for me because, knock on wood, I have not had any major problems. Just recalls etc.
Why did door handles have to get ... so unnecessarily complicated? The aerodynamic drag is equivalent to carrying around ... a can of soda!
I'm thinking it was to eliminate the problems that Tesla has of freezing shut in cold weather
And I won’t even mention Tesla’s complicated design... and others... including the latest Range Rover.
@@kellingtonlink956 the new Range Rover looks excellent!
What’s complicated about it 🙃🙃?
Did you guys realize the "grill" is indented so it's just catching air it's not smooth front
The latest has the same electronic pop-out flush design. God it is a breathtaking redesign/update (even with the new flush handles - unnecessarily complicated, but still beautiful).
Doug touched on a good point that I’d like to finish. Tesla’s are amazing. When they work. All vehicles break. Getting a Tesla fixed is incredibly expensive. Often the vehicles are declared a total loss in minor accidents (Tesla’s are unsurprisingly expensive as hell to insure compared to other similarly priced vehicles) which explains why there are so many at auction. I have a few friends with Model 3’s and they all love them until they need something fixed. Granted no problems have ever disabled their vehicles, but they will drive around with them broken for 2 months waiting to get a cracked moonroof glass fixed for $2000.
Tim, Telsa fully warrants their vehicles for 4 years/50K miles. I've owned 4 Telsa cars since 2013, and in total, I've spent less than $2000 combined for all 4 cars (excluding tires).
@@JB-yw2im Like all car companies, they don’t cover wearable/consumable items without an ESP (which I don’t believe Tesla offers) but my point wasn’t about their warranty work - that wasn’t even brought up - and focused on the cost to replace consumable items or damaged items. Tesla charges ridiculous premiums, beyond even that of Porsche, for things like replacement suspension, brakes, glass, wheels and tires. The worst part is there is no aftermarket so you have to purchase from Tesla, and the lead times for parts can be months. This was even before the pandemic. It’s great you had positive experience, but that is not common.
@@emotionz3 You are correct that some consumables (wiper blades, in particular) are expensive, but my experience has been that out of pocket maintenance costs are MUCH less than comparable gas vehicles. One of my cars developed a crack in the windshield, which would have been $1300 to replace, but Tesla actually covered it under warranty. Again, in total for 4 different Teslas I've owned, I've spent less than $2000 since 2013 -- roughly $500 per car.
$60k is “relatively affordable”these days. LOL. I think Doug is $40k too high.
Electric cars are for yuppie folk with too much money and too little brain cells
Doug, I'd like to know with as much driving as you do, would any EV be up to the task? Would charge time be a hindrance?
I could not agree with you more Doug on the Tesla fanboy's lack of understanding of overall vehicle dynamics and seeing 0 - 60 acceleration as the only benchmark!
Tesla DESTROY tracks as well it’s not just 0-60 more 3 OWNS pikes peak. And other Tesla have killed on Nuremberg ring

Never thought it’d hear this man say it’s lit
Glad that I will buy a fully loaded Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition soon.
I bet Doug moans when he plugs in a hybrid.
Most Hybrids don't even have the option to plug them in... Plugin Hybrids do, but they're in the minority of Hybrids.
2019 Doug loves how subtle the 2003 Audi RS6s exterior styling is. 2021 Doug thinks the Mustang Mach E GTs exterior styling is to subtle. Bro...bro....make up your mind bro.
This is such a beautiful vehicle. I love the lines, the front looks aggressive, and I like the rear too. My only gripe with the rear is how the rear lights sling to the center from the taillights, the extension of the taillights you can say. Other than that, this is a beautiful suv.
ive never had any delays or issues while getting my model 3 serviced, the team at the tesla dealership has blown me away actually. It is unfortunate to hear that is not the case everywhere ;(
When Doug said “it’s lit” I felt that 😂
Isn't the GT much cheaper than the Y with the federal tax credit?
Only assuming you actually qualify for the full 7500 which most people wont.
If you forked a new channel, with just the BEVs and PHEVs, no hybrid cars...
I would totally subscribe, what are the odds? your reviews are super Great!
Good on Ford, looking forward to more like the lightning... When the first lightning one wasn't electric, I was sad.
Being a Mustang owner and fanboy, I would have to agree with Doug. I think the Mach E is the epitome of how far our tech has gone and it’s good to see. I hope to own one someday. But, i’d probably look into Foxbodys and a Terminator first 🥺
Ford should have called it the Model T GT to make Tesla annoyed
Or just call it a edge
Tesla doesn't care what 10 years behind companies do.

Hey Doug, are you gonna do another Nissan Z review? love the reviews as always!
They should make two vents in the front like the mustang GT's have with a little light around them make a vent that flows so you can have like a natural fan air that flows to you while you're driving it would use no energy at all unlike AC since they're trying to be electric and fancy it doesn't get more efficient than that. And obviously have a button that can close them
