Ford Mustang Electric SUV: A New Challenger to Tesla's Model Y

Introduction to Tesla's Line-Up

Things are looking good for electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla. Following the reveal of its newest offering, the Model Y, Tesla's line-up consists of four models: two SUVs and two sedans, which include the Model S, 3, X, and Y. Pretty sexy, huh? However, if there’s one manufacturer who decided to take a cheeky jab at Tesla, that would be Ford.

Ford's Response with the Mustang Electric SUV

During the reveal of Tesla’s Model Y, Ford released a new teaser image of its Mustang-based Electric SUV featuring an illuminated pony on a black background along with a suggestive caption: “Hold your horses.” This is a direct hint towards Ford's plans for electric vehicles.

Design and Features of the Mustang Electric SUV

Although not much is known at this point about the Mustang-based Electric SUV, teaser images reveal:

• Similar taillights to those found on the legendary muscle car
• A sharp front-end design

Despite being relatively new to the world of electrification, Ford is confident in its product's performance, with executive chairman Bill Ford stating, “it is going to go like hell.”

Performance and Range Comparison

According to sources:

• The Mustang SUV will have a range of at least 482 kilometers (300 miles).
• This range slightly exceeds the Tesla Model X P100D’s range of 474 kilometers (295 miles).

Since the dimensions remain unclear, it is yet to be seen whether the new crossover will compete with the Model X or the smaller, newly revealed Model Y.
