Mustang Mach-E Fails Moose Test: Tesla Model Y & Ioniq 5 Ace It

The Mustang is known for its athletic handling, but the Mach-E's ESC seems to hinder it in this moose test. The Model Y and Ioniq 5 behave much differently.

I wonder if it was
- a RWD with 18" 225/60-18 or 19" 225/55-19 wheels
or
- a AWD with 20" 245/45-20 wheels?

I imagine that the 225 width tires don't provide too much grip for the weight of the car.

I’m not buying any car that fails the Moose Test!

Agreed. I need to be prepared for all eventualities. Can't risk an accident with a moose, even in FL.

I wouldn’t care to hit a gator either.

They aren't that bad, I just think of them as scaly speedbumps.

I'm pretty sure it was the AWD. Check the description and comments. Also km77 has their Moose Test video here:

. Audio is in...Spanish, I think?...but the captions are available in English.

I heard “no juevos”.

225mm section tire for a 4800+ lb vehicle. Way too little tire for a car if that weight. Ford may have designed the stability control in that manner, though. No one knows.

Hadn't thought about this before, but when I took InControl Accident avoidance with my kids, the focus in this kind of maneuver was to let off the gas, stay of the break. With one pedal, you need to be sure not to let off too much to avoid the nose diving. Wonder how they're managing this in the test.

@bc70 good question. If you look at the km77 channel https://www.youtube.com/user/km77video/videos, they have a ton of these moose tests, including other EVs. If you watch the Model Y video for example, the outcome is quite different than the Mach E. I'm assuming that since they do this test often and on various vehicles including EVs, that they would know the best way possible.

It’s an electric Astro van, what do you expect from Ford?

That’s why you get a lift kit!

According to White House it's Mach-E and Ford is leading EV manufacturer. Also Tesla doesn't exist.
Back to reality, Mach E looks awfully out of proportion because the skinny tires, the upward curve on the rear bottom.
Not to mention its ACC can't even take a 10 degree corner.
Then watching Munro live, you know Mach E is generations behind Tesla on engineering.

Tesla becomes last EV standing after car rental company purges its BEV fleet

The electric vehicle market is getting more crowded, with more and more electric cars being released every year. This was particularly true for Miete Deinen Tesla, a German electric vehicle rental company that expanded its operations by purchasing more EVs from other automakers. In a recent...

Not about MachE specifically, but it’s true nevertheless
