I hope you're going to invest that Ford check.

So much misinformation. The 'start' button in the ID.4 is to power-on the car if the driver isn't in the driver seat (e.g. the passenger is waiting in the car and wants heat or a/c), (edit: or if the remote is dead and you use the mechanical key to unlock the door, or to forcibly power it off). For regen braking, the electric motor does NOT "turn backwards".... it simply begins to function as a generator to turn the kinetic energy of the car into electricity while continuing to turn the same direction. The ID.4 *does* have a power tailgate in higher trim levels. The Mach-e frunk divider pops out pretty easily if you don't want it installed. Please research better before going on the internet and just saying random words.

Well NO. Just as he mentioned, not everyone wud buy a BEV, for eg, in california there are like 50k people who use a car for 100-150 mile round trips each day, for them a 200-250 mile range car is more than enough for 95% of their life duties . Studies have shown that majority of US people dont drive more than 60 miles before they take a 1 hour break. So in most probability a car iwth real life range between 150-200 mile is more than enough for 85% of population, that is exactly why the F150 lightning too is out there with 150-200 mile real life range. Sure Teslas system is superior, but Fords current range to availability of reliable charging stations s not that bad. i do agree Tesla has better charging and better range, but that does not mean it should always b preferred, for eg: there are 4 cy ice cars that get 15-20 mpg as well as some that gets 25-35 mpg out of same displacement. This does not mean the 15-20 mpg average car is stupid. many people wud prefer it if it is better to live, drive,stream line on to etc

“Physical controls are good”… The Y has a physical volume wheel on the steering wheel. No need to reach over and turn the giant dial in the center of the touch screen of the Ford.

Not sure what the fasination is with the front storage. It's ok but I for one don't want to open my hood to get something.

Here's the real world reason I went with a Model Y. After testing out both cars the POS ford dealers tried to screw me like they do everyone else. They went straight to the low monthly payments after glossing over the rest of the pricing. It was a low monthly payment because it was a 7 year loan. There was a $9,000 market adjustment due to scarcity and an 8% interest rate despite my 751 credit score. There was another $6000 in accessories on top of that which couldn't be removed. They actually wanted more money than the cost of the Model Y for a car that is nowhere near as nice. During negotiation, they dropped in interest down with manager's approval but wouldn't budget on the bullshit over MSRP mark up. Just off that I got the Model Y with 2.49%.

People will argue it is better like always found in reviews like this but I can tell you from experience that I much prefer culling out all the extraneous crap across my console and dash and consolidating it into something more simple. Tesla does a great job of prioritizing what is the most used and important controls and keeping them in physical form like on the steering wheel. Those scroll buttons are for volume, cruise control speed and also have 4 direction of push and a push in for various purposes. It has incredible voice control for other features or redundant features. They also had the foresight to eliminate some vestigial legacy crap that isn't even needed like a start button for the car. The start button is your butt in the seat and the brake pedal. Genius. It works great. It turns off when your butt is out of the seat and you close the door when your leave. One less button on the dash. Also the sentry mode with surround cameras is great.

Most EVs allow you to easily set the maximum charge level. Set it 80% for maximum battery life. Use 100% when you are going on a longer drive, at potentially a minor decrease in battery life. Think of it choosing not to redline a cold engine. It's not going to destroy it, but it's not the best thing to do if you expect the drivetrain to last for 500K miles.

There's an adapter you can buy to allow you to use Tesla charging stations on non-tesla vehicles. But, you cannot use the Tesla "Supercharger" stations on non-teslas. At least not yet. Elon Musk claims they will be open to all EVs later in the year, though.

I wish I had seen this video 8 months ago. I own the ID.4 First Edition, and do love it. There is in fact a good reason for the Start button. When the driver leaves the car the car shuts down, so if a passenger stays and it is cold or hot, they are left sweltering, or shivering. Hitting the start button turns the systems on again allowing passengers to have the comforts afforded by the vehicle. I have not yet found a way to disable the feature.

@@beau6113 That's blatantly false... You are using data that shows the Tesla Model 3 and S are some of the safest vehicles in it's class and extrapolating that much farther than is defensible. Tesla vehicles result in about 1 death per 220 million miles and all motor vehicles result in about 1 death per 90 million miles. This means a tesla is 2x as safe as your average vehicle, but already I think you should question your claim from those statistics. Many Subarus, for example, have lower deaths per million miles than Teslas, but I would propose that's more likely due to the driving characteristics of your average Subaru driver than vehicle safety. School buses... result in 1 death per 500 million miles and that is considering the fact that most occur when passengers are not wearing seatbelts and in older, smaller models. A touring bus should be even safer. I would assume a tracked vehicle weighing about 50 tons would result in as close to 0 deaths per mile as statistically possible (and yes, there are a few). The biggest problem with your statement is that it doesn't mention how important 'in it's class' is as a qualifier. In defense of your statement, you could easily claim that the Model 3 is the safest vehicles for occupants in a crash, in it's class, as it gets top safety scores from test ratings and there wouldn't be much to disprove it. In fact, most EVs tend to get 5 stars across automakers (in part because Teslas score so well - they have to, in part because the architecture leads to safer designs, especially in frontal impact). However, Tesla claimed the lowest 'probability of injury' from the crashes... but they did so themselves. The NHTSA and federal officials have all asked Tesla to stop making that claim as it isn't something they devise/support nor do they have any evidence in support of it. Of course, what's really needed is more crash testing, both independent of the individual vehicle (run head-on with a typical SUV for instance) and above the current 5-star ratings (which more and more cars achieve).

A better way to think of regenerative breaking is to say the motor becomes a generator, taking energy from the vehicle's motion to recharge the battery and slow down the vehicle. The motor does not spin the other direction. Power does flow the other direction, however. Perhaps that is what you are thinking.

One point I have discovered is that Ford dealers are charging $5k+ over the sticker price due to low inventories & demand. The Tesla is always the same price.

A correction about paying for more range. With an electric car, the cost of charging is dependent on the size of the battery not total range. The Model Y and Mach E has a 75 kwh battery vs the ID4’s 82 kwh. So you actually pay a bit more to go less miles in the VW.

Air conditioning is a relatively efficient form of climate control, as it works by transporting heat in a closed cycle rather than outright eliminating it in an open cycle. The amount of energy an air conditioning unit can move is more than the energy it takes to run the AC system, as you're just moving heat out of the cabin and putting it outside-- the energy is transported, not transduced. It's why a heat pump is the preferred means to provide cabin heat in an EV during winter rather than using resistive heating elements-- a heat pump collects the heat already present in the outside air and concentrates it inside of the car.

Mach-E is a good first attempt from Ford but it's nowhere near the level of Tesla. I researched all sorts of EVs and bought a Model Y. I hope other car companies close the gap with Tesla and make competition progress the thing that benefits us all.

I really would like a 5-year review when it get there because I believe I prefer a better build car the may hold value longer

I'll save 10 to 15k for a missed opportunity like having to actually use a brake Great vid

I want to see more like this, so I’m letting you know in the comments.

The Model Y is hands down more performance oriented over the other two. I'm not to old to enjoy some performance so the Model Y would be my choice. I've seen some vids with the Model Y performance keeping up with a BMW M3 at the track so that would blow away the other competition hands down. No vehicle is perfect but once you get used to the huge screen and controls on the Model Y it just becomes second nature. I would like to see when the Mach-e GT comes out and how it compares since the long range AWD Mach-e falls short of the LR Model Y..

See the Out of Specs review on the Mach E. Also, the Out of Specs reviewer, a Tesla owner, has issues with the Model Y's suspension. He drives them on real canyon roads, not just on tracks. The Model Y needs further development and refinement to reach its potential. The Mach E was too soft, but that's been fixed with the GT version.

IONIQ 5 vs TESLA MODEL Y Comment by Park Shawn translating from Korean to English the video : kzread.info/dash/bejne/pIt2o6yuj7aanM4.html Ionic 5 LR and Model Y LR both have similar spec including weight, battery sizes. Details can be found on google. Here are some highlights from the conclusion they brought up at the end of the video. 1. Both car's AVG speed were about 100KM/h (Highway drive) 2. Both car's A/C and other convenience functions(like Highway drive assistance for Ionic 5, Auto Pilot for Model Y and etc.) were always on during the test. 3. 4 drivers drove about 100km per person and checked the remaining battery at designated location. 4. Both car have shown slightly poor battery performance than usual because of the weather condition (rain) 5. By just looking at the specification, Model Y can drive 141km more than Ionic 5. However the actual drive test have shown that the difference were only about 60~70km. This experiment have shown that IONIC 5's driving range is little longer than what Hyundai advertised. 6. They have concluded that both Ionic 5 and Model Y can drive from Seoul to Busan. The distance between those two cities are about 350km. Hope this helps.

Regen braking / one pedal 18:00 your statment "motor spins backwards..." i dont think so. Check your facts. Start with inductive charging, back emf, or maybe just "how does an ev work" in google searches. Very misleading and wrong. The motors and your car keep moving in the same direction. Sorry if this comment was already made - i couldnt find it.

I know. Is it going to be free tomorrow then? I think many would still pay more to have it sooner. Plus, how long will it take for the others? Considering the lead Tesla has, it could be 5 to 10 years. By then, the other oems will be gone. LOL.

Hard to beat VW ID4 as a daily commute car with occasional long road trips for vacation (use case for most people). Plus 3 years of free Electrify America DC fast charging...Lease for 3 years, wait for the solid state batteries to come and then buy an EV to own.

In Canada, especially in QC where it is the only one that can get all the government rebates (13K$), there is so much a price delta between the ID.4 and the two others that it becomes by far the best deal for the money. Exception for sure, but it may explain why it will become a great success, if we finally can get them delivered!

Plus it gives you 3 years of free charging, massage seats, ambient lighting, better suspension, quieter cabin like most German vehicles, shade to cover glass roof if you don’t want it all the time, and of course it’s better built and has a better servicing network by far

Being in the market for an EV I’d probably opt for the Tesla. They appear to be tried and true, although I’ve heard there appears to be some quality control issues

We went all ev (a model 3 in 2019 and a model Y this year). When we first got the model 3 I would find excuses to go to the grocery store so I could drive it. Still super happy with it. Friends are always amazed at how much stuff we’re able to pack into the model y on road trips. The frunk and sub trunk definitely add lots of usable storage space. Also the 3rd row seat in our Model Y comes in handy quite often.

The "quality control" issues are WAY overblown, and mostly just a way for haters to find something non-specific to pick on, because in all the ways you can measure, Tesla stomps everyone else flat.

I really want a Mach E and a Bronco Sasquatch to compensate for each other.

18:09 “the electric motors start turning backwards “ …. NO THEY DONT ! Hilarious error. 😂😂

Check out Munro Live on the Mach E cooling system…what a circus! Finest silo engineering!

@@twany442 All his videos are comparing Fords engineering to teslas.Ford just really looks like they are trying to put square pegs into round holes. They are trying to make I’ll be EV with ice vehicle parts as much as possible. At least they’re trying and keeping their workers in Mexico employed but doing it very slowly as they know they are cannibalizing their own business.

Overall good review but a few things were overplayed like the screen in the Tesla and the lack of buttons to lower seats in the other two cars. What was a disservice to listeners was the extremely basic coverage of long range driving. There was an attempt but it was in no way clear. The MachE is the worst car for long range driving to the point you almost can't do it. The ID.4 is slow at long range driving but will be doable. They did a pretty good job of covering that the Tesla is good for long range driving but not a good job of why. The MachE simply charges too slow and the car is too inefficient to drive long range. This is a serious limitation while every other complaint about the cars is pretty minor. Hard to see how they ended up with recommending the MachE. Ford will hopefully fix this along with the infotainment and then I would see it winning for sure.

The ID.4 actually has the best charging curve, and seems to roadtrip just fine. See Out Of Spec's long ID.4 roadtrip video.

@@llaughridge Like I noted, the ID.4 can long range drive. It is mostly let down by a lack of charging stations and the issues with those stations. Lack of stations requires it to charge too high into the pack where the speed of it's, and any EV's, charging curve is slow. It also has a lower max charging rate so while it's curve is good, maxing out at 126kW makes Tesla better in both aspects even on common 150KW chargers must less 250kW charger. Again, not saying the ID.4 can't road trip and I did watch Out of Specs drive back from FL in an ID.4 which was great content. Of the two, it's the charging stations and not the 126kW max charge rate that causes the most problem.
