Comparing Model Y and Mustang Mach E
For buyers who would want to switch to electric car market, here is a simple comparison of Tesla Model Y and the highly-anticipated electric vehicle, the Ford Mustang Mach-E.
To start with, both electric vehicles are crossovers and they have stunning designs that are far greater than the early EVs that simply switched the engine from gas to an electric motor such as the Chevy Spark EV. The Tesla Model Y and Mustang Mach-E were uniquely developed as electric cars.

Also, both electric crossovers also offer wireless charging, huge cargo space in both trunk and frunk, a 15-inch touch display as well as long battery range for pricier models including the Mach E Premium and Model Y Performance.
However, Ford also adds a 10.2-inch "digital cluster" display in front of the driver to show speed, battery percentage, and range remaining, which cannot be found on a Model Y.

By the third quarter of 2021, Ford will be launching it "hands free driving" feature, called Active Drive Assist, as an over-the-air (OTA) update for Mach-E buyers. Meanwhile, the exact price will be announced when the release is already near.
