The Tesla Model Y<\/a> is one of the best electric all-rounders money can buy right now, and in range-topping Performance guise it will out-accelerate almost any other car it will meet on the road.<\/p>\n

What if that car is the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition, you ask? That\u2019s what Edmunds<\/em> wanted to find out (among other things) by pitting its Tesla Model Y Performance long-termer<\/a> against the top-dog Mach-E model.<\/p>\n

This comparison makes a lot of sense because if you look at the Mach-E GT Performance Edition\u2019s specs it will be clear that it\u2019s squarely aimed at the Model Y Performance.<\/p>\n

The dual-motor Mach-E boasts 480 hp and 634 lb-ft (858 Nm) of torque, which enables it to go from zero to 60 mph (96 km\/h) in 3.5 seconds, according to Ford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Model Y Performance also has a dual-motor powertrain that makes 450 hp and 500 lb-ft (677 Nm) of torque. Edmunds<\/em> tested the MYP\u2019s acceleration and found it to do 0-60 in 3.7 seconds\u2014only 0.2 seconds slower than the official estimate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These cars are also neck and neck when it comes to pricing, with the Mach-E GT Performance Edition<\/a> costing $69,800 as tested, while the Model Y Performance cost Edmunds<\/em> $68,700. As for the driving range, the Tesla has the upper hand with a claimed 303 miles (487 km) versus 260 miles (418 km) for the Ford.<\/p>\n

Mind you, Edmunds<\/em> does not take any of these specs for granted, thoroughly assessing the acceleration and range to find real-world values. There are some surprises in the video, but the biggest one may be the fact that the reviewer\u00a0noticed the Mach-E<\/a> GT Performance was losing power during acceleration runs and track testing.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, the performance EV can only unleash maximum power for five seconds at a time in order to preserve battery life. Needless to say, that\u2019s frustrating and Edmunds<\/em>\u2019 Ryan ZumMallen would rather have the Tesla<\/a>, even though it\u2019s less fun to drive on a track and the Mach-E also brakes and rides better. Here’s hoping Ford will find a way to fix this annoying limitation with the next (OTA) update.<\/p>\n
