Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

Ha Ha, the moose test is a test of a quick avoidance maneuver, verifying ability to stay on the road in control, no moose required. Model Y is one of a very few SUVs to pass the test. so much for check mate.
Mach E failed miserably...

Concerning the sloped hatch, and to some extent the narrower opening, this is the price you pay for improved aerodynamics and the class-leading efficiency this helps bring.
Compared to our last family car, which had a similar total cargo volume but all in a single box-like space, I actually found I preferred packing the MY for a family trip because I could handily arrange the different bags and cases in the various spaces, with different levels of accessibility. On the other hand, for certain bulky items, for sure it is not as convenient. However, I still find it's a worthwhile trade-off for the better efficiency and dynamics.
The test is based on success at 43 mph (69 kph). Any car could crawl through the cones, even a Mach E.

But no need to avoid if no mooses , so the 5 seconds of power mach-e wins again, to the moon!Ha Ha, the moose test is a test of a quick avoidance maneuver, verifying ability to stay on the road in control, no moose required.

MachE or…M3?

Ford rep tells Mach-E buyer to get Model 3 instead over market adjustment concerns
It appears that Ford dealerships’ “market adjustments” on the Mustang Mach-E are ironically ushering in more sales for other electric vehicle makers like Tesla. As shared recently by members of the EV community, the buying experience for Ford’s well-reviewed all-electric crossover could become...

If anybody cares here are the rear side by side photos on a 2021 MYLR with 20" and a Premium RWD.
I bought a Mach-E at MSRP last week(too good a deal to pass up - and I have a MYLR order that I can unhold if I don't like it).
The Mach-E has about 2-3 inches wider opening (RC foam plane almost fits into the Mach-E without tilting) but lengthwise from rear to front is 2-4 inches shorter (maybe more). Both sloped rear hatches lose some usable space compared to say a RAV4 or ID.4

Did you even watch that video or read what I wrote? At no point did I say the Mach-E has larger space.
Both sloped hatches lose a bunch of usable space that the ID.4 (or any flat top SUV) would have no problems with. The video even shows this at the 2:50 mark
And while you might be correct with the height-wise... it doesn't matter because the Mach-E is about 2" lower. I took photos of RAV4 and Mach-E next to each other and the RAV4 was taller by 2 inches.
The rear of the Y is poor designed compared to modern SUVs. Poor visibility, no rear wipers (rear visibility is useless in Florida rain), reduces cargo space. The Mach-E has the same poor design but there is a wiper and visibility is better.
The Y doesn't need a rear wiper. Most Y owners can vouch for this. ~17 months of ownership and not once did I think "I can't see out the back window, wish there was a wiper."

Probably because we can barely see out the back window on a good day.
Mostly kidding but when I went on my test drive the rear window visibility was not that great.

Just leave him. He's posting to rationalize his choice now.
The rear of the Model Y is designed for aerodynamic efficiency while providing more cargo space than the Mach E. I find the slope of the rear window minimizes the low pressure accumulation of water and crud that is typical of SUVs.
