MT claimed in another article that you have to constantly touch the wheel when using FSD this hasn't been the case for over a year they never tested anything just went off old information. None of their results can be trusted wouldn't surprise me if they flat out made numbers up.
Wrong, hondatrend named a ford this time lol.
Wait till the RSX debuts, honda trend will be singing their praises. The criteria on this comparo is silly and all over the place. Car journalism needs some standards, besides clickbaityness.
I do like a comparo these days. I think i have had enough engineering consultants drivel of spec sheets, the answer is obvious Tesla is a century ahead of everyone else and if you want the best spec sheet, tesla bar none. I think however there are folks who want to know what is their legacy maker upto these days, and is their an ev that is more familiar to them even when its an inferior product spec wise.

A $995 performance upgrade, which you can add at purchase or any time after via the app, drops the Mach E to 3.3 seconds for 0 to 60, so model y performance bearing and likely at least Juniper MYP matching, plus it drives and handles very well.
And, minor changes in the Mach E suddenly made it better than the all-new, best selling EV in the world? Doubtful.
And I can't believe you can't tow anything with the Mach E. Certainly takes out a lot of the utility.
