CAN A MODEL Y TOUCHLESS TEST DRIVE CONVINCE ME TO CANCEL MY MACH-E ORDER?

EV Channels Review

This video details a "touchless" test drive of a Tesla Model Y, undertaken by the reviewer and his wife as a benchmark against their pending Ford Mustang Mach-E order. The reviewer highlights the Model Y's quiet operation, smooth ride, and impressive acceleration, particularly noting the "pedal to the metal" experience as exhilarating. The Autopilot system is demonstrated, with the reviewer expressing a cautious optimism, viewing it as a backup rather than a replacement for his own attention. Positives include ample storage space and a comfortable driving position, despite the unique display placement. However, significant drawbacks are identified: the limited rear visibility, the absence of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support, and concerns over Tesla's perceived quality control issues compared to Ford. Ultimately, the reviewer remains committed to the Mach-E, citing its superior aesthetics and the broader Ford dealer network as key deciding factors, despite acknowledging the Model Y's technological prowess.
