Mach-E beats Tesla Model 3 as Consumer Reports top electric vehicle for 2022

Ford's Mustang Mach-E beats Tesla's Model 3 as Consumer Reports' top electric vehicle for 2022

Stop reading here:

Consumer Reports says reliability data it has collected shows the Mach-E has very few problems, so far.

I guess they are not concerned that BlueCruise will disengaged without any driver-aid alerts, like an audible tone.

Consumer Reports is still recommending the Model 3, but Fisher says the small electric car fails to match the Mach-E in certain areas, most notably when it comes to hands-free driving and alerting drivers who fail to pay attention. Ford’s BlueCruise system uses a camera to monitor and alert drivers when they are not paying attention. The Model 3 also has a camera watching the driver, but Consumer Reports says that camera could be more effective.

Consumer Reports has always been biased crap, no actual data, its survey based.

CR has an ideology and their reviews and review criteria are based on that. Its like when that review of fast chargers came out and the Tesla supercharger network came in behind EA’s. The review criteria for assigning points was wacked.

Were you guys citing CR’s bias and whack scoring system when the Model 3 was the leader before just now being supplanted?

How about we celebrate competition and these companies pushing each other to innovate, improve, and provide the best product for consumers at the best price and value possible

All products in general. Its consumer based snapshot opinion, not actually driven by breakdown data etc. I don't trust the media anymore, and well that has moved to the car media as well(edmunds/motor trend), those use to be great but now are super biased. Tesla is by far from perfect but they dont want to let down their golden boy readers.

I see people in this forum citing the same survey-based results when they support Tesla, like the brand being #1 in Owner Satisfaction according to CR. And I bet CR ranking the Model 3 as #1 was met with the same reception.

When it flips, suddenly CR is the bad guy

Not to direct that at you or anyone else specifically here, but there’s no shortage of bias all over the place

I think main problem is people think CR is data driven, not survey driven.

CR reporting on Tesla vehicles is like people studying coffee. Um Tesla good, Um, Tesla bad. It's just an opinion. Drive what you like, drink what you want.

Media losses are good. Makes EM mad and come out with something new.

I look at the Munro teardowns... check out the "Mach-E Thermal System Nightmare" video

This is great news - let the consumer-reports reading public go buy Mustangs and free up space on the waiting list for various Teslas

It'll also keep the section of the population off our delightful supercharger grid.

Sandy Munro seems biased towards Tesla though. In his mind, Tesla can do no wrong. Is there a Sandy Munro video discussing how horrible v11 is?

 

[father_of_6]

@RobDickinson is that not true? I've only watched a handful of Sandy Munro videos. None of them criticize any of Tesla's obvious faults... but very highly praised all things Tesla.

 

[father_of_6]

To be clear, I'm not advocating for Ford or the Mach-E. I have a Model 3 and think it's great (mostly), but I also don't see Sandy Munro as a non-biased opinion.

He got famous for criticising tesla. He tore down the model 3 and hated the body, this made headlines.

I love Sandy, but he’s little more than a curmudgeonly Luddite when it comes to analyzing the finer points of UI design. He’s a hardware guy.

He “loves” Tesla because he sees them engineering things that he’s been advocating for years. He was very critical after his teardown of an early M3 due to the build quality.

 

[CyberGus]

I think Consumer Reports damages their own credibility when they pull stunts like showing how a Tesla is a death-trap when you cover the camera, rig the steering wheel, and wiggle out of the seat belt.

Thanks for straightening me out, I wasn't aware of that.
