The Mustang Mach-E is now up to $4,000 cheaper \u2014 but will it be enough to outshine Tesla?<\/p>\n

Ford officially reopens orders for its electric crossover, the Mustang Mach-E<\/a>, also adding a couple of exciting updates, including a better price tag, a longer battery range, and the latest BlueCruise driving-assist tech, a new offer designed to fight off the competition.<\/p>\n

The Standard Range model is now equipped with a 70 kWh battery, providing a higher EPA-estimated range of up to 250 miles for the RWD model and 226 miles for the eAWD variant. Meanwhile, the Extended Range Mach-E retains its 91.0 kWh lithium-ion battery, assumably still offering the same 300 miles of range.<\/p>\n

That said, AWD models now receive an additional 45 hp, bringing their total power to 311 hp (232 kilowatts). Complementing the higher power is also a shorter charging time for Standard Range models, now going from 10% to 80% in just 33 minutes, thanks to the new faster DC charging capacity.<\/p>\n

In addition, the US automaker will throw in a 90-day free trial for its BlueCruise hands-free driving feature with your Mach-E purchase. It’s essentially an ADAS allowing you to change lanes, without having to touch the steering wheel, just by activating the turn signal \u2014 neat offer indeed, but shouldn’t that be a standard feature instead?<\/p>\n

That being said, it’s the second time Ford<\/a> has lowered the price of its Mach-E this year. Both RWD and eAWD Select models are now down $3,000, while the Premium and GT models are cheaper by $4,000 \u2014 California Route gets an extra $1,000 discount.<\/p>\n

It’s very possible that Ford’s move was forced by Tesla’s recent massive price cuts, triggering somewhat of a price war among EV makers. But unlike Tesla<\/a>, which sacrifices its profit margins to boost sales, the Blue Oval goes with a smarter strategy, utilizing its Cuautitl\u00e1n Izcalli, Mexico plant to reduce production costs.<\/p>\n

Better yet, according to Detroit Free Press<\/a>, customers who have ordered the Mach-E since the beginning of the year, whether they’re still awaiting delivery or have already received their Mach-E, are both retroactively eligible for the latest price cuts.<\/p>\n

But will that be enough to fight off Tesla \u2014 let’s see about that.<\/p>\n
