Ford Mustang Mach-E vs. Tesla Model Y
Electric vehicles are becoming more pervasive as more drivers are learning about their environmentally friendly performance and innovative tech features. The new Ford Mustang Mach-E has sporty styling and poised handling that helps it stand out from other EVs. The Tesla Model Y is also a high-performing EV, but it can't equal the overall quality of the Mustang Mach-E. At Fette Ford in Clifton, NJ, we want you to fully enjoy your electric vehicle, so we produced the following comparison to assist with your choice.

Interior Quality
You'll spend a lot of time inside your vehicle, so you'll want one with a comfortable, attractive interior. The new Ford Mustang Mach-E has a sleek, modern cabin with subtle retro design cues and excellent build quality. The new Tesla Model Y has comparatively drab interior styling and a less luxurious fit-and-finish.
Infotainment Technology
A feature-rich infotainment system can make long drives more enjoyable, and the Ford Mustang Mach-E has a user-friendly unit that's packed with rewarding tech. Its sharp graphics, quick responses, and intuitive interface make it a cinch to operate while driving. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a navigation system, and a wireless smartphone charging pad are all standard in the Mustang Mach-E. The Tesla Model Y's infotainment system acts as the hub for most of the vehicle's controls, and it difficult to use while you're on the move. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not available in the Model Y.
Acceleration
Both the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Tesla Model Y have athletic handling for fun driving on curvy roads and switchbacks. However, the Mustang Mach-E is a bit faster. Rally models can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. Model Y Performance trims can get to 60 from a standstill in 3.5 seconds.
Safety Features
Safety is always a crucial consideration, and the new Ford Mustang Mach-E is loaded with eight useful standard driver aids, including:
- Evasive steering assistance
- A 360-degree camera system
- BlueCruise
The Tesla Model Y only comes with five standard advanced active safety features. A 360-degree camera system is not available in the Model Y.
