Looking Good While You Feel Good

Step inside, and you’ll find a modern, polished cabin built for comfort and connection.

More Power for Your Pep
If you’re a speed enthusiast, you’ll rejoice because the Tesla Model X is a true powerhouse. With a jaw-dropping 0–60 MPH acceleration as fast as 2.5 seconds, it’s built to thrill. But raw speed isn’t everything. The Ford Mustang Mach-E offers an exhilarating ride of its own, going from 0–60 MPH as quickly as 3.3 seconds on select trims. Its engaging electric all-wheel drive system gives you surefooted handling and smooth responsiveness that brings joy to every drive, whether you’re weaving through city streets or cruising down the highway. And when it comes to range, the Ford Mustang Mach-E doesn’t back down, offering up to an EPA-estimated 320 miles on select trims, nudging past the Tesla Model X Plaid’s 314-mile range. Charging is another key factor, with Tesla leading in quick recharges, going from 10–80% in about 31 minutes, but Ford balances the scale with its BlueOval™ Charge Network—North America’s largest integrated public charging network with over 100,000 locations for worry-free travel.
Optimizing All Spaces Within
Step inside either SUV and you’ll immediately notice their different approaches to comfort and control. The Tesla Model X makes a bold statement with a minimalist, open-concept interior featuring a 17-in. touchscreen, tri-zone climate control, and a panoramic windshield for an airy, futuristic feel. On the other hand, the Ford Mustang Mach-E takes a more driver-centric approach, offering a 15.5-in. vertical touchscreen, a practical volume knob for easy adjustments, and a digital gauge cluster that keeps key information right where you need it. With the intuitive SYNC® 4A system at your fingertips, staying connected and in control is a breeze. While the Tesla Model X boasts impressive cargo space at 92 cu. ft., the Ford Mustang Mach-E uses its interior wisely with up to 64.4 cu. ft. of flexible cargo room behind the first row, plus handy front trunk storage. Whether you’re hauling groceries, gear, or luggage, the Ford Mustang Mach-E adapts to fit your lifestyle with ease.
Safety First
Safety is a non-negotiable factor in everything you do, including driving. Both the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model X deliver advanced protection with high-tech confidence. Standard features like automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and post-collision braking offer peace of mind no matter which EV you choose. The Tesla Model X benefits from its low center of gravity, a design element that enhances stability and reduces rollover risk, giving drivers an extra layer of assurance on the road. Meanwhile, the Ford Mustang Mach-E focuses on real-world family safety, offering an array of driver-assist technologies and proactive safety systems that work together to help prevent accidents before they happen. With Ford Co-Pilot360®, you’ll enjoy intelligent features like blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control, designed to make every drive safer and less stressful. Whether you’re navigating rush-hour traffic or taking the kids on a weekend road trip, the Ford Mustang Mach-E is ready to protect what matters most.
