The 2023 Ford Mustang Mach E Is Still A Competitive Pony Car Inspired EV 

I've had my 2022 Mustang Mach-E for almost two years and have driven it over 35,000 miles. Amazing car!

I just purchased a premium AWD extended range a few weeks ago. Ford was running crazy deal ( $10k+ off MSRP and 0% APR 48 months) + the EV credit. Very happy with the purchase

Just got one. One of the key reasons, these weren’t appealing was that the pricing got out of hand. Now, with Ford incentives, it’s competitive and it’s moving off lots. I got a GT, no range issues, getting about 250-300 miles range, probably about 275 effective. Love the driving dynamics, suspension can be a little unsettled around bumpy roads, but it’s a great ride. A big plus for me? Also having a brain and not handing my cash to Tesla :).

I have been driving my GT for almost a year and I love it!! Love the large center screen,only thing Im not crazy about is the glass roof in the summer. Didn’t want a Tesla as everyone and their mother has one.

Love my 2023 GT! The subwoofer rattles, but that’s the only issue.

I own a First Edition model and its hands down the best car I've ever owned (I've owned 10 gas cars and 7 EVs). I cross shopped it with every other EV in the price range and although there are other cheaper competitors, it's the only one that did everything reasonably well and met all my picky requirements in a car and EV: It's comfortable, has rear cross-traffic alerts, radar-based ADAS, Blue Cruise which operates very well and is fantastic for road trips, dedicated buttons on the steering wheel for quick access to all functions, a quiet cabin, good build quality, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM radio, a guage cluster, a volume knob (these days that's rare), 1-pedal drive that you can turn on or completely off, and is tied to profiles of each driver (so when you start the car it automatically sets to your preference), memory heated seats, heated steering wheel, and a 360 top down camera that pops up automatically when in reverse or when getting too close to objects while going forward (which is great for parking lots and pulling in and out of my garage). No other EV in this segment has all of those features (and the Model Y has almost none of them). We love it so much we're keeping it even though we thought we'd only have it a couple years then move on to something else.

Add ing a comment about the volume dial; it also adjusts temperature and fan speed when those buttons are touched first.

I've had mine since July 2021 and I love the car. I have the CA Route 1 trim which maximizes range, and I get fantastic range on a full charge, around 325 miles.

These are just sitting on dealer lots right now lol

The problem with the Mach E AWD long range is the battery is 21% bigger than the Model Y AWD long range and most other competitors. That is part of what makes it more expensive. But this also means around 20% more time to charge on a charging network that is not as dependable or in many cases not as fast as the Tesla Supercharging network. When Ford and other make EVs get access to the Tesla Supercharger network it should really help the case for a Mach E. The Mach E has far more charisma and style than the Model Y, and feels better built too.

We bought a Grabber Blue '23 ER RWD Premium in July and it's been great! Had considered the GT but as a family vehicle, we determined that the range was more important than power.

Drove a friend’s spec’d exactly like this one, and loved it. And my daily is a Mercedes E450. Tons of them on the road in my city.

My favorite thing that Ford has kept with their vehicles is the key code they have on the door. If you don’t feel like carrying a phone or the key you can just enter the numeric code and the door opens. I wish other brands had this feature

Always love and appreciate ur insights and content, I have a Mach -E premium 2022 36,000 miles. And it’s definitely the best ford I’ve ever had. Yes it’s not perfect, but it’s a fun drive. Interior is great, better than a lot of these other EV’s out there. I’m definitely happy with this purchase, it’s almost 2 years and it’s nothing to really complain about. Thanks again for all ur great work, peace and blessings.

The fact that there are so many sitting on the lots (here in Vegas and Henderson) is concerning. Also the thought of no haggling and spending 2-3 hours in a dealership make the thought of buying Tesla or Rivian far more inviting than going to a Ford dealership. Order online, pay online, go to the service center and pick it up, so simple, so easy. I don't have the time or patience for the dealership dance the major car manufacturers make you go through. I do really like the look of the Mach-E and it would be perfect for my needs, but until they get rid of the haggling and dealer markups it's a hard NO for me. Great review once again! Love it.

Good vehicle but non-competitive pricing; Mach-E shall start at 35k and top trim be around same price as V8 GT Premium. 60k for this is outrageous …

I own the 2023 model. I absolutely love it!

I'm around Pasadena CA, and they sell pretty quickly around here

Hey RedLine!!! Good afternoon from Ontario Canada.. Awesome video!!

I've completely swore off any vehicle (EV or ICE) that removes physical knobs and buttons for BASIC cabin controls and instead moves them to a touch screen. I used to want a Mach E until I used a car for a month that only had a touchscreen for basically everything. Never again.

I'd still take a Tesla over the mach E. There's a few reasons why but one of the major ones being I don't have to deal with a stealership.

I'm disappointed with the cold weather range on my 2023 Mach-E GT - a 120 mile round trip in ~20 degree weather leaves me with a 30% charge. Hopefully updated battery tech hits the market soon.

@theredline You were very thorough covering the Mach-E. I wish Ford's Marketing didn't name it a Mustang though. The Mustang has always been a 2-door coupe. Thumbs Up on this video, Great Job!

They’re pretty popular in SoCal. I love em tho im waiting for the next gen before pulling the trigger.

Reporting from Toronto, Canada. Our roads are full of Model Y, nothing else comes close. I rarely see an EV6, Ioniq, Mach Es. Dealerships in the city are full of these, and I took advantage of that and picked one up. Dealer took $12K off MSRP.

Nice review, thnx for that. We are waiting for ours, should be delivered next week, can't wait! I live in Europe so pricing and some other stuff is a bit different.

This dude is amazing at describing this car. He probably sells a lot of cars! Well Done !👍

There are a ton of these still on lots in LA, rarely see them on the roads here. Mostly teslas and other hybrid family sedans here

I love mine but 3 weeks ago the ford OTA update bricked my MachE had to tow it.

Thanks for your impressive presentations.

Nice straight forward review. Ford should have just called it Mach-E. Most people just call it the Mach-E. They could have still used the same styling inspired by the Mustang, but drop the Mustang name. It is sad they make these in Mexico. That is a typical move for any corporation these days. For me, I have more of an issue with Ford Motor Company. They have been topping the annual recall charts for the past three years. Farley seems hot and cold on the EV programs at Ford. The dealers seems luke warm about EVs. If I was looking for an alternative to Tesla, I would be looking into the Hyundai Group of EVs. If my choices was ID4 or Mach-E, I would likely go Mach-E. If my choices was BZ4X, Aryia, Solterra, Blazer EV, or Mach-E, I would likely go Mach-E. I would take Model Y over all of them, but I get people are seeing so many Model Ys around they might want something different. With that said, Tesla software works really well. That is a very important feature for EVs, well, just about any new car these days. Hope Ford gets their EV program more support. Would like to see them succeed. It is better for consumers if there are many companies competing.

Gotta love that exhaust note!

How does this do in the snow and cold weather? Does it still not have a heat pump? I have an Ioniq 5 and this is my first winter and seeing a reduction in range but nothing too crazy. Thanks for the great videos!

Thanks for the great review. Really considering buying this soon 🔥💯

They need to drop prices pronto

why it has to be crazy fast? Most of the EV drivers drive their cars inside city for which this performance itself is too fast. People were happy with performance of BMWs and Benz around 6 secs. Not sure why journalists are whining about fastness.

The only suv i would buy. Finally a suv without the flat back

It's great to see all different EV options, but to me, the major issue is the charging network. This is why I will always prefer Telsa over anything because the charging network is key to me. Easy access & fast charging.

19:39 0 to 60 3.8 GT to 3.7 Performance is not a second faster. So is the Performance version actually a "second" faster and you said the wrong time or are the times right and the performance version is only 1/10th faster?

It’s a shame that Ford can’t sell them, they lose the federal rebate on the first of the year of about 7500.00 dollars, they won’t be able to give them away after the first of January.

thanks for having the car clean, love your show !!!

Mach-E: When every keyboard warrior thinks you're a failure while being the #3 best selling EV.

How is the heat and AC when used?

Isn’t the color dark matter gray instead of carbonized? I think it changed in 2023! Is it a lighter gray ?

Why do Tesla's and Ford think people want a total glass roof.

This car is losing the tax credit on janaury 1 lol gonna be a tough sell without the 7500$

It’s very nice! I love it! It sounds like a spaceship! I love electric cars! I’m a country gay man, I can’t drive because of my cerebral palsy, so I’m gonna get my all electric Mercedes G wagon and let other people drive it for me! Can you review the all electric Mercedes G wagon when it comes out? Thanks

Good review Sofyan.

Mach-E is built on GE1 platform which is derived from the C2 platform that underpins Escape, Bronco Sport, and Maverick. Mach-E is not related to Edge.

Hey, how was living with the GT compared to the Rav Prime?

Bro when are you going to hit that 1 mil subscriber?

while I like the Mach E I am going to wait for the refresh and native NACS. does it still slow charging past 80%?

Beautiful vehicle

Mach-E was mediocre when it launched and is bordering on obsolete in 2024. Definitely needs an update on the interior with better charging speeds, revised infotainment screen, rear heated and front ventilated seats, faster charging, and improved driving performance.

We have four Ford dealerships within 20 miles of eachother. They have had the same Mach Es there for months. I see EVs driving around but not a Mach E. Maybe marketing issues??

Don't now about this car. Alot of them are setting at dealership lots. People can't sale there first one's because like Tesla, they've dropped their prices & most are stuck with something that everyone else is getting half the price new. It's all a game since everyone's saling EV'S now. That's my "vent"

Not a fan of the Tesla trend of the sunroof that doesn't open. Likely a cost cutting solution since a single sealed piece of glass is significantly cheaper and far less complex than one that actually opens and is usable. I actually use my sunroof all winter in SoCal.

Given that starting in 2024, (tomorrow as of this comment), that they'll no longer qualify for the full $7,500 EV Tax Credit... they're going to rot on dealer lots.

In my opinion, i feel like the mach e choice of icons are really old looking. For example the battery percentage underneath the mileage. The infotainment system is decent but i think it should be changed. Besides that its an okay vehicle.

The name of this vehicle should have been LIGHTING Mach E! Just like the pick up truck is named Lighting

I have to wonder how those 'push a button to open the door' will work during winter weather when the car gets iced up?

Great video, but not a new color to the MME. I have a 2021 in Carbonite Gray.

I look forward to which Ford SUV they will turn into an EV, I'm thinking either the Ford Edge or the Escape.

It's funny how every car youtuber says the name mach e was controversy for mustang purists, but I only hear them say that.

What! No tow...No go! No fog lights...No go! No opening sunroof...No go! No off-road capability (low ground height and long wheelbase)...No go! And this is coming from a "Ford guy".

Is this an old video? 2023??

This car would be great if it cost $25-30K less

No ventilated seats for $60,000 😂

Is that the Mexican or Chinese Mach E? I sat in one a few months ago (our company owns one) I was surprised how small the interior was compared to a Model Y.

No one talks about the cost to charge them. What’s the cost????

60 thousand. No infrastructure. Battery degradation. Charging nightmares. Slow service. No range. Range anxiety. NO resale value. Insurance problems. Cold weather adverse. I'll take TWO ! SMH.

They’re so great that’s why so many sit unsold.

2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E 4X Premium!

Not only sitting on lots. Many have been recalled!

Waiting for the hybrid…

That screen is riDonkulous. In-dash screens are more attractive imo. Ford could done a better job of integrating the screen with the overall dash design instead of settling with somewhat of Tesla-scape afterthought. It just looks dejected, like a BestBuy rep installed it reluctantly. Sorry if I’m a bit harsh but if this vehicle is gonna carry the Mustang moniker, the interior should be a sleek as its tail.

With Tesla’s price drops, it’s tough to justify this, although personally I wouldn’t get a Tesla. This still looks a lot nicer than the Model Y (low bar), but its looks have aged a bit more quickly than I expected.

Quite possibly the ugliest Mustang ever built, great job Ford.

What car do you own now? Curious.

Love my MUSTANG Mach-e ! Y’all in the comments hating hard as hell

Is there such a thing as a “happy” FORD owner? Not counting brand die-hards. So, everyone is “happy” with the software? Just curious.

I want a Ford Falcon E that is more compliant, less capable, and cheaper than the Mach E because I don't do track days and only putz around town.

A $60000 car with fake materials. Are you kidding?

I can agree that the Model Y is kind of an uninspiring blob, but money talks. And I just don't think the Mach-E commands a several thousand dollar price premium over the Tesla... Especially now that it's got no tax credit. Unless Ford brings an extended range, AWD model out within spitting distance of $50k, I'm just not going to be interested. And once the Model Y gets it's Juniper refresh, it'll be game over unless Jim has more updates up his sleeve. Seeing 2024 be a carryover was really disappointing. No work on ventilated seats as you said, but also no heat pump? It's just not all that exciting anymore.

That is not a Mustang, and it will never be a Mustang.

60k still feels wild. Wish they would have added a better color. Can we get something else besides greys and blacks. Missing some features at this price in my opinion. My ten year old grand Cherokee has ventilated front seats and heated/reclining rears and the wheel arches match the paint.

The interior is terrible. Looks like the just slap on a tablet on the dash.

I wonder when this Mach E can have change, like Interior change?😅 last time I drove it, I just feel like yes definitely fast, but the interior soooooo simple 😒😒😒😒 just one iPhone and iPad..... like that.

Taurus Mach E. There, I fixed it.

Gt front end is great , the regular one I don't care for, good looking suv, but wouldn't consider anything but tesla without nacs charge port, ccs suck,

I am curious when Toyota releases solid state battery vehicles, will Ford and GM fall behind?

1 day, I buy new 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E.

Mach W or Lightning? 🤔

In terms of style Ford did excellent! But if you are gonna bring a new mustang to the market give it some pizazz! It has no road presence! They just whiz by like any other EV. Where's all the noise and drama that comes with a mustang? I get that EV's are silent. But cell phones changed the way that the ringing phone sounds. So why not go with it and change how an EV car sounds instead of leaving them silent?

Does it get the $7500 rebate?

These are sitting in lots due to their poor reliability issue.

They need to make it gas. It can sit in the dealership until then.

How about the new i4 xdrive40 ? Mache too expensive !

Almost 5,000 lbs is crazy for such a compact appearing SUV

To anyone who appreciates car history, that thing is a joke. Ford had no business putting the pony on an electric SUV. Absolute garbage.
