So what would happen if someone accustomed to Tesla product went and bought an EV from a non Tesla company? I really like the look of the Mach E, but I feel I am going to forgo alot of things unless I'm unaware it also has those features. Mainly b/c the Mach E looks like a car that has soul, some say Tesla doesn't have a soul. I think Tesla's interior is kind of plain, but then someone said that's how Elon Musk wanted it since he is a programmer and they like things that way. I kind of wish Tesla would give their cars sharper edges like the Mach E, and an interior similar to BMW or Mercedes.
How will a Mach E supercharge for road trips?
And how will Mach E do autopilot?
Is it better to stick to Tesla or why should someone buy a Mach E over a Tesla? The only reason I can think of is that the Mach E looks like a car you can bring to a car show. I dunno why car show crowds don't really care for Teslas b/c my Model 3 was able to catch up to fully modded Porsche that was showing off on the freeway, the guy was giving me a stare like he was surprised a plain looking Model 3 (that stock) caught up to him.
I've been a Model 3 owner for nearly two years now, and I have a Mustang Mach-E on order to replace it.
The "Autopilot" is not something I really think about, as I don't have Autopilot on my Model 3. The Mach-E will have "hands free driving" in 2021 via OTA update, so to me that's a step up from my Model 3, but I get that isn't true for everyone.
The Mach-E can charge at 150 kW with the Extended Range battery pack, which is the practical speed of Tesla Superchargers at the moment, given the total lack of V3 Superchargers for me along the routes I regularly travel. Plus with CCS charging, there are more options for when and where to stop available.
The styling of the Mach-E was the big draw, but also the fact that there's 3,000 dealers across the US that can service it, whereas my experiences with Tesla Service being over an hour away and completely unhelpful once you get there have soured me on long-term Tesla ownership for at least a few more years until they build out more service infrastructure.
