Now, when we say these are the two best selling electric SUVs in the United States, that’s not to imply they are similar in their sales totals. Ford sold 28,089 Mustang Mach-Es through September in 2022, whereas we estimate that Tesla sold well over 150,000 Model Ys in the United States in the same period.
And, besides that, I just can’t bring myself to believe that the Model Y will be any more interesting or inspiring to drive than the Model 3 — which shares a platform with the Y but adds a lower cg and reduced mass to the fun-to-drive mix.
Part of the driving experience is, of course, the interior design and experience. I know plenty of people like the inside of the Mustang Mach-E, and I, like many, particularly liked the blue stitching on the Grabber Blue model I had. However, the clean, smooth, unified interior of the Model Y still wins in my eyes. And while I have issues with the poor soundproofing on my Model 3, I found the Model Y to be notably better and the road noise to be reduced.
The Mustang is great car. I wasn't keen on the fly-by-wire steering on my test drive though. Do you get used to it?
That’s an X in the picture, not a Y. 🤔
