2024 Ford Mustang Mach E Summary

No brand courted controversy more than Ford when it stuck the legendary Mustang badge on an electric mid-size SUV.

Now finally here in Australia after a significant wait, the Mach-E is the Blue Oval’s first step into fully electric territory.

The question we’re answering for this launch review is whether it’s too little too late. Now the Mach-E’s primary rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Tesla Model Y are established players in Australia, is the Mach-E yesterday’s news, or is it something different in the EV space? Something worthy of the Mustang badge?

Let’s find out.

2019 Tesla Model X Summary

The idea of a Tesla that can tow sounds about as likely as an astrophysicist with three Olympic gold medals, who also moonlights as a hand model.

The EV brand has blazed a trail for every other mainstream and premium car manufacturer to jump on the electric bandwagon, and today they’ve still got the biggest batteries and most impressive range ratings, while also having the most extensive extensive network of charge stations made up of Superchargers and destination chargers, covering every state and territory.

They’re not perfect though, often displaying niggling build quality issues and production delays for upcoming models. There’s also a degree of uncertainty bred by a founder who flits between the modern-day space race, manufacturing flame throwers and offering to send miniature submarines to rescue stranded children.

But there’s no questioning the overall impact Tesla has had on the automotive industry, along with the incredible brand awareness and aspiration it’s generated from non-enthusiast Joe Average consumers around the world.

The Model X is also rated to tow, with a decent 2250kg braked rating and an integrated tow bar that folds out of sight when not in use, which both fits its SUV character and encourages you to give it a go.
