Power/Torque

  • Mustang Mach-E Select RWD: 198kW / 430Nm
  • Mustang Mach-E Premium RWD: 216kW / 430Nm
  • Mustang Mach-E GT AWD: 358kW / 860Nm

Battery Chemistry

  • Mustang Mach-E Select: 71kWh LFP Battery (Can be charged to 100% repeatedly with far less degradation occurring compared to NMC)
  • Mustang Mach-E Premium: 91kWh NMC Battery (Should be charged to ~80 day to day, only charging 100% for long journeys)
  • Mustang Mach-E GT NMC 91kWh Battery (Should be charged to ~80 day to day, only charging 100% for long journeys)

Know your battery packs! LFP vs NMC

I'd recommend educating yourself. Youtube is a good place to start.
This is another reason why I would choose the Mach-E Select grade over the others.

LFP has no cobalt or nickel. See how this stuff is mined and by who (its done by children in a lot of cases).
LFP can be charged to 100% over and over again with less degradation occurring compared to NMC batteries
LFP has heavily reduced thermal runaway issues

Range

  • Mustang Mach-E Select: 470km
  • Mustang Mach-E Premium: 600km (When you factor in that you need to limit day to day charging to 80% on the NMC battery fitted to this car, it's the same day to day range you would get in the cheaper Select model. You just have the option of longer range on the odd occasions you charge up to 100%)
  • Mustang Mach-E GT: 490km

If you want a more accurate understanding of battery range please refer to the ev-database website. They have some good breakdowns on range based on ambient temperature.

        I love Japanese cars and I’m honestly relieved they suck at EVs. While the rest of the world is busy making boredom boxes, Japan’s cranking out proper cars like the WRX, BRZ, GR86, GR Corolla, GR Yaris, LC300, 70 Series, Lexus LC500, Miata, GTR, Patrol and Type R. Respect.

          The future of cars is electric and I’d rather the companies making those cars also made great EVs.

          • @get-innocuous: If you’re a millennial or an old-school car enthusiast, you know what I mean. We grew up with ICE cars. The sound of the revs, the thrill of turbos, the satisfaction of a manual gearbox. Taking the four-wheel drive into the bush, towing a boat or a caravan. That was part of the experience.

            For someone who just uses a car as a daily tool, who doesn’t look back at their parked car and think, “hell yeah,” electric vehicles might be perfectly fine. Maybe they enjoy the instant acceleration, the sleek modern design, or they are simply not into off-roading or outdoor adventures. And that is completely valid.

            Perhaps this is where the world is heading, just like how many kids today prefer screens over spending time outside. Who really knows? But for me, that lifestyle is hard to embrace.

            The only electric car that ever caught my attention was the IONIQ 5 N. But even that had to artificially recreate engine sounds and gear shifts to make it more exciting. That says a lot.

            Electric cars are not for everyone. Just like petrol and diesel cars are not for everyone. And now there is hydrogen as well. The market will definitely become more diverse.

            But one thing is certain. Nothing is going to completely disappear.

          • @get-innocuous:

            The future of cars is electric and I’d rather the companies making those cars also made great EVs.

            FYI, the big Germans have just restarted ICE R&D, after putting an expiry date on them a few years back.

            The future is a combination of PHEV, mild-hybrids and EV. The former 2 will dominate the landscape.

            Issue with EVs is they have no soul, absolutely no character. how can something without soul be the future.

      Keep in mind there's always been effectively two Fords. An American one and a European one.

      My recollections of the Sydney EV show event:

      While I generally agree on your sentiment re American vehicles I will say I recall being impressed with the fit and finish on these, as well as the attention to the ergonomics.

      I don't recall right now whether they are in comparable price brackets but I got out of one of these and hopped into a VW ID4/5 right after, and there was definitely a big gap in build quality, and not in VWs favour.

      Now I'm talking about it - the takeaway from that show for me is that the West is in big BIG trouble. The West had very lacklustre representation (where was Hyundai?!?!?) and what was there paled in comparison regarding fit and finish and feature sets.

        Wash your mouth out.
        For a while there was an Australian one too, and if you know anything about engines, the Barra was a world class engine designed and built in Australia.

        the takeaway from that show for me is that the West is in big BIG trouble

        Some of us have known this for years, hence why the US president is who he is. It's funny to see how people recognise a problem, but don't want to admit to the solution to that problem.

        The West had very lacklustre representation (where was Hyundai?!?!?)

        Not sure South Korea counts as 'The West'…

        • Wash your mouth out.

          Yes I deserve the caning for leaving Aus and the almighty Barra out lol, thank you.

          It's funny to see how people recognise a problem, but don't want to admit to the solution to that problem.

          I don't think there's one single solution to that problem. Without getting heavily into the current state of play, I think a coordinated effort between democratic nations to slow the rise of the Chinese EV while incentivizing established outfits to innovate and catch up is probably the wisest one.

          Not sure South Korea counts as 'The West'…

          Yeah I thought that after I posted but figured the sentiment would be understood. I should have said democratic nations or the established outfits as I've done above

          • @OZBMate8911:

            I don't think there's one single solution to that problem.

            Agree, but if you flip that, there was one thing exacerbating it and that could not continue.

            The West has been asleep at the wheel for the last 30 years, we all got too comfortable when the Cold War ended, but we are finally getting back on track.

        • -3

          and real costs to maintain over the life

          They cost more to maintain because they use higher quality parts. Higher grade materials, higher tolerances etc. these things cost money.

            @1st-Amendment: They cost more to maintain because they use higher quality parts. Higher grade materials, higher tolerances etc. these things cost money.

            BS. Plenty of BMW/VW/Merc products use plastic water pumps, poorly designed ancillary systems, etc.
            They're still banking of their "quality" perception that ended in the 90's.

            • @Maz78: As an engineer, I'd argue that there can be a huge difference between a well designed part in the correct material specification, and a cheaply designed part or a cheap material. There are thousands of different types of 'plastics' you can specify that will all perform differently, last longer, have better dimensional stability, less creep, etc

              Which company has the best 'plastic' parts are probably those who are known for their reliability, e.g. Toyota, Subaru, but I can't comment on newcomers. At the end of the day if they offer a decent warranty it's in the car companies interest to use decent quality parts or the cost of repairs over a 5-10 year warranty period would be too high.

          • @1st-Amendment: My point is that whilst that was true, at a materials and component level it has become less and less over the past 20 years. And its not just their cars, but almost everything down to whitegoods. I hazard a guess its simply down to decisions made to bring costs down. Everything from outsourcing to offshoring introduces risks to the end product (I see it in my own profession every day, i joke it is what keeps me employed), inferior materials (prolific out of Chinese companies both in terms of quality control, corruption, inferior grade raw materials or substuting so you end up with items at a significantly better price but in reality are compromised i.e. shortered expected lifespan, more variability in output standard and so forth). For every company in China that makes an item genuinely of high standard, there are dozens that fudge it. They are all in the supply chain.

            I sympathise with it a great deal, alot of companies have very limited means to maintain standards and be competitive against the backdrog of companies that live in a world of state backed advantages, zero transparency, espionage, theft, and increasingly state backed misinformation to silence discourse by bringing race/pick your *fobia into things.

            • @Xizor: Thanks for posting such a comprehensive coverage of Europe. I would like to a bit add this.
              Every Eurpoean country of consequence retains it's own Automotive industry
              Do you think this might be highly subsidised by each government?
              Remember when Australia had Holden and Ford, and even with huge govt subsidies, they became more expensive than imports, while the unions sumultaneous pushed wages beyond sustainable levels, and the whole industry closed down.
              Now we have no defensive manufacturing capability of any consequence.
              Australia was the canary in the coalnine and now Europe is cheapening their product to control costs. Quality was never a big sell point in USA. There it was BIG

              • @Clickbait: I'd argue about australian auto subsidies being huge. If they didn't have the free trade agreements allowing in a flood of imports at nil duty, things would have been different. A small import tariff would have made a big difference to the viability of the australian manufacturing industry… the auto makers and the raft of supporting manufacturing enterprises.
                I'm not taking a position on whether dropping support of australian cars was good or not… I'm simply saying that's what the situation was.
                Australian tariff on cars is 5%. UK tariff on cars is 10%. Much of the rest of the world has a tariff rate of 10% or higher.

          servicing on Tesla is condition based.
          The other thing they don't tell you is generally speaking insurance costs on Tesla's are substantially higher then other brands.

          So what you might be saving in servicing costs, you are just handing over to an insurance company instead.

          The Mustang Mach-E will be cheaper to purchase, and likely cheaper to own/run long term once you factor in all running costs, inc insurance.

        Tesla Model Y refresh isn't cheaper, its drive away price is higher and thats before you add anything to it.
        Basic stuff like paint costs $2300 - $2500 extra! which just pushes the prices even higher.

        The Mach-E is roughly ~$3500 - $5500 cheaper

        And that's before you factor in insurance costs - something which Tesla's are known to cost a lot more compared to other brands.
        There are entire threads on Whirlpool around the insane insurance costs for Tesla's.

          Additionally,

          2. The cabln lighting is only on the Preimum/GT model
          3. The sound system is not as good
          4. Interior noise is far worse than the Tesla (only the windscreen is acoustic laminate, unless you get the premium, and then it is windscreen + front windows. Telsa is acoustic on all windows in the refreshed version)
          5. The FordPass app is garbage (IMO)
          6. Peak charging speed is slower (150kW max on DC. single phase 7kW max on AC, 10.5kW 3P AC)
          7. Actual driving efficiency is less (IE Mach-E needs larger battery to go same distance as mopdel Y)

            @1st-Amendment: Says the unbalanced poster with a name 1st-amendment… which has absolutely nothing to do with australia

              You have foreign flags as your avatar. The lack of self awareness here is off the charts… as usual…

              • @1st-Amendment: My combining the palestinian and israeli flags in one place clearly demonstrates my view of what should occur in the middle east…. without saying a word.
                I know you are unable to address the stupidity of the "1st amendment" handle… commiserations. You must have felt incredibly stupid the first time someone pointed out to you that the first amendment of the australian constitution changed dates so that elections to the federal House of Representatives and the Senate could occur simultaneously.
                Buy you being you, you've tried to bluster and buffoon your way out of that issue ever after, since your personal constitution bans you from realising your own mistakes and failings.
                All the best, and I hope someone buys you a new set of blinkers for your birthday!

                • @rooster7777: Looks like I hit a nerve…

                  So you live in Australia but you have views about things outside of Australia. The concept is so simple that even a child could understand it, yet here you are… completely oblivious to the rope you just hung yourself with…

                    @1st-Amendment: Your comment would have relevance ….. if you HAD known that the famous first amendment applied to america, not australia.
                    It must have been embarrassing when the realisation hit your brain.

        Agreed heaps of 2024 and 2025 pré refreshed way less than the price and come from a good company that know how to built EV.

          i also think the Model 3 and Y chassis is just too old

          its a 2017 car and they just keep banging out the same shit with MY updates

          you can tell they dont have the budget to flop out a completely new model

          it'll turn 10 and we'll still be looking at basically the same thing

        Why would you buy a tesla when the chinese cars are now cheaper and better?

        • +7

          Software on Chinese cars sucks compared to Tesla. Chinese cars are not better. They're less efficient, heavier, slower, and come with quirks.

            @beesider: that's a bit of an unhelpful generalisation, there are some crap cheapo tier ones and there are amazing ones that are ahead of competition.

            @beesider: Correct when comparing Toyota's and other legacy automakers yes Chinese all day long ago Tesla VS Chinese great fight. Now buying a Ford EV good luck buy a ranger not the v6 which has been recalled.

            @freeb1e4me: Ah you think just like the American backed Israel.

          • @freeb1e4me: How does that not apply to Tesla as well? 'In theory' they could do an update that did those things as well.

              @noisymime: In theory all devices including EVs can be hacked. It will be interesting to see what hackers can accomplish with hacking EVs - especially now with emerging AI hacking it’s going to be scary exciting… real soon!

        • Chinese manufacturer tend to chase specs but not substance

          Define better?
          You've already used 'cheaper' but we've always known that about Chinese products

          • @1st-Amendment: You should visit China for a holiday soon. It’s time. They are waiting.

          • @1st-Amendment: Well given Tesla use a heap of Chinese parts, including their batteries in many of them then yeah I guess we know about chinese products.

      • Because Musk doesn’t own Ford (yet).
