Tesla has been the pioneer in the electric car sector for a while now. But it seems like the new Ford Mustang Mach-E will be the biggest competitor of Tesla, especially Model Y which will be released in 2020.
On Sunday, Ford announced Mustang Mach-E on its official Twitter account by saying, "Zero gas. Zero emissions. 100% exhilaration."
Zero gas. Zero emissions. 100% exhilaration.

Tap to be among the first to reserve the all-new, all-electric #MustangMachE.
Surprisingly, Elon Musk seemed too happy and pleased with what his competitor has done.
Congratulations on the Mach E! Sustainable/electric cars are the future!! Excited to see this announcement from Ford, as it will encourage other carmakers to go electric too.

Of course, it's normal to support everyone in the sector to go electric if your concern is about nature and the environment and not about money.

Ford Mustang Mach-E is actually a small car with 186 inches length. The exact size of Model Y is not revealed yet but according to Tesla, Model Y will be based on the Model 3 platform, and Model 3 is 184.8 inches long.
Battery Capacity
Ford Mach-E has a total battery capacity of 98.8 kWh with extended range battery. The battery capacity for Model Y isn't revealed by Tesla yet, but if we consider the capacity of Model 3 again, it can be said that the long-range performance will have an estimated total capacity of 75 kWh.
Charging Speed
Ford Mach-E has the charging speed of 150 kW, again based on Model 3, Model Y is expected to have the charging speed of 250 kW.
Horsepower
Ford Mach-E will produce 332 horsepower while Model Y, based on Model 3, will produce a little over 400 horsepower.

Model Y can have 7 people in the car while for Mach-E it's 5 people.
Semi-autonomous Driver Assistance System
Both cars will have a semi-autonomous driver assistance system. This system can be responsible for steering, braking, and sometimes, acceleration. However, drivers must be awake and careful all the time even when semi-autonomous driver assistance mod on, and the driver should always take control of the car.
People are talking about both models.
Everyone is talking about the Mach-E vs model Y but the importance it's that will make more people turning in to a more eco-friendly way to commute and travel... Amazing design from ford, tech little behind from Tesla I think...

Glad to see Ford getting into the EV game. Don’t really see the new car as compelling but it’s a much better start than Jaguar and Audi.
What would your choice be? Take your side.
