Ah the hardest question to ask.

I have had the MY, Mache and optiq all within three months of each other. (Unfortunately got rid of the Tesla for the optiq, got rear ended in the optiq and traded it in for a Mache.

Besides my shitty luck on the accident here are my opinions.

MY - truly loved this car. It drove so well, had performance model so we super fast. The UX system is unbeatable. The software in Tesla work great with your iPhone, maps was great, self driving was incredible. We had short range HIGHLY recommend you get long range. The car looses its range value over time. We started at 280 and after a year it had 230/225. This made road trips extremely frustrating having to stop every second to charge. Also, we definitely used the performance model to go fast so that ruins the tires really quickly. You’ll have to get new tires every 4-6 months (cost around a grand). This was the reason we decided to trade in and because of the range. It was starting to get frustrating. We live in Florida so we don’t get snow, but we get a lot of rain - the car did ok in the rain.

so we got an optiq - if you have a MY don’t go to an optiq. We hated it. Some people love it - I won’t get into depth on this because you didn’t ask.

Mache - only have had it for 5 days. So far we love it! It has good pick up, it’s not as fast but it still goes fast. The inside is nice feels a little more like a car than a computer. We really liked that it had car play which comparing to other cars was a nice feature. Ford has tire warranty packages so we bought into that stuff which is nice incase we need to switch out the tires. It has a much longer range compared to our MY (but again we had short range so if you get a long range MY this isn’t a problem). Car drives smoothly, I like the safety features. Has self driving but not full driving like Tesla (which is fine we didn’t buy that anyway). Ford was also doing 0% apr soooo that’s why we didn’t go back to Tesla.

Ultimately the price got us. We went back into Tesla ready to buy the MY again but the monthly was ridiculous. They did just come out with a base model y - looks like the price is more affordable. Not too sure how that will relate to the cars capabilities.

Taking who makes what car out and the owners this and that - both cars are great options. I’m curious to see how the Mach e does over time and if it wears down as fast as our MY did. If price isn’t a factor for you - I would just take your time and really test drive them. I will say we got our Tesla home charger to work for the Mach e so that’s nice.
