Ford Mustang Mach-E vs Tesla Model 3 Engine & Longevity
All-electric vehicles are known for their electrifying performances that keep them away from the charging stations and keep them on the open road. Did you know that both the Mach-E and the Model 3 offer up to 300-mile ranges with their extended-range models? Yep, that’s right—you can finally take that long-distance road trip in a single charge!
Plus, both models take just over three seconds to go from 0 MPH to 60 MPH! So, once you hit a clear patch on I-95, you’ll be able to let the reins loose in either model. However, the Ford Mustang is known for its signature purr and growling performance—this norm does not skip over the Mach-E.
Starting from its base engine, drivers can experience 266 horsepower and 317 to 428 lb-ft of torque performance. On the other hand, the Tesla’s base engine outputs 221 horsepower and 302 lb-ft of torque. While an impressive figure, the Ford’s base performance is just its starting point. Its GT trim moves at the speed of lighting with 480 horsepower!
Ford Mustang Mach-E vs Tesla Model 3 Interior
Although both these SUVs offer road-dominating performances, they’re also family-friendly! With spacious interiors, your growing family can sit comfortably inside either vehicle. Plus, the Mach-E and the Model 3 both offer comprehensive infotainment systems with standard navigation!
If you’re going on a road trip with your friends and family, you’ll need space for the essentials. Of course, you can throw some water bottles and snacks in the frunk (front trunk) of either ride. For larger items, though, the Ford may be your better option thanks to its cargo volume:
- Ford Mustang Mach-E Trunk Capacity: 29.7 cubic feet
- Tesla Model 3 Trunk Capacity: 15 cubic feet
Mustang Mach-E vs Model 3 Safety
Comparing the standard safety of the Mustang Mach-E and the Tesla Model 3 was very close. Plus, both models have received generous accolades that make them safe and reliable on-road companions.
The Mustang Mach-E makes its Ford Co-Pilot360™ 2.0 system standard! With over 12 standard features attached to this system, you and your copilots will be safe on any drive. Similarly, the Tesla Model 3’s Autopilot system features 12 intuitive sensors to help protect drivers while driving. Both systems share these similar Ford features in common:
- Lane-Keeping System
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go
- Available Blue Cruise
However, the Ford offers an optional 360-Degree Camera that the Tesla Model 3 goes without. This feature can lend a helping hand while parallel parking by showing a birds-eye view of your vehicle—a great way to check surroundings.
Will You Be Driving the Ford Mustang Mach-E or Tesla Model 3?
The Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Tesla Model 3 sure put up a fight, but there can only be one winner.
