Matt Farah and his wife have been driving their Ford Mustang Mach-E for two years now, and they still refuse to call it a Mustang. In the video above, Matt recounts their electric journey thus far and shares his thoughts on the car. After driving the Mach-E as a press car at the beginning of 2021, Matt was immediately impressed and decided to buy one for himself and his wife. After 17,000 miles of driving, Matt and The Smoking Tire cohost Zack Klapman took the Mach-E on an eight-hour road trip to discuss the pros and cons of the EV, demonstrate the public DC Fast Charging network, and check out some stand-up comedy.
Matt notes that the Mach-E looks just about as good as new, inside and out, with only one spot of noticeable wear in the interior. He also says that he can get about 290 miles of driving range on a charge if he drives at a speed he won’t be driving, and 230 miles if he drives at his planned speed. In addition to the range and public charging situation, Matt dives into the interior technology, FordPass app, driving dynamics, regenerative braking, and Ford service visits. He also addresses the car’s advanced driver-assist systems.
So, what do you think of the Ford Mustang Mach-E? Is it better than a Tesla in any way? Is Ford’s lack of its own widespread and reliable DC Fast Charging network a reason to skip the Mach-E and buy a Tesla? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
