Tearing down of Ford Mustang Mach-E shows 250% more parts than Tesla Model Y
TwitterWhatsappLinkedin

Tearing down of Tesla Model Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E was performed by the popular YouTuber,  Sandy Munro. It showed the Mach-E uses 250% more parts than Model Y. Another notable difference is that the Model Y thermal system uses 10 hoses per 6.35 meters, while Ford uses 35 parts per 18.42 meters.

Tesla highly focuses on making sustainable products. This is why each vehicle is specifically designed with specific parts. This is in reference to Model Y’s effective thermal system. Where Mach-E uses almost 2 times more parts for the car to keep running. This is not the first time Munro did a comparison of Tesla cars and Ford cars. Earlier some of the features of Mach-E were found to be ahead of Tesla. Like, Ford’s door modules were much better. The Most recent comparison breaks down as follows,

  • Part count: 35 (250% more than Model Y – 10)
  • Length of hoses: 18.42 m (190% more than Model Y – 6.35 m)
  • Fluid: 22.5 kg (143% more than Model Y – 9.2 kg)

Mach-E being the second-best EV ever to be manufactured in the industry, the huge difference with sustainability should be improved. Tesla always uses minimalistic design and focuses on efficiency.

First-principles and thinking

The mach-E thermal system was typically described as a “nightmare”. There were many twisted cacophony of hoses. Munro labels all the parts, and we can see the onboard chargers, inverter, C/DC converter, and pumps. And the pumps have a heat sink below which can’t be seen from above. Sandy Munro says that the parts are messy, especially as an engineer he says he finds them complex and not pleasing.

Having such multiple connectors could possibly lead to leaks and manufacturers usually focus on having minimal connectors. Interestingly, there is a part, “Scrap is draped”, the role of this unknown part is unclear. There is another part that seems unnecessary, sealed connectors. There is a box over them and seemed unpractical to be there because nobody would be using it.

Munro and Associates focus on such minimal things and suggest or help Ford and other car manufacturers. Munro says that big auto-manufacturing companies know what they do, but sometimes these things happen and it is important to let them know.

We can also see that the battery case was made of metal, which further increases the weight of the vehicle. Tesla Model Y is a much-appreciated model for engineers and manufacturing processes. Simon Alvarez from Teslarati mentions that Model Y is a design made for a renewable future and its sustainability matters largely in coming years.

Dodge Pauses Entry-Level Charger Daytona R/T for 2026 Amid Shifting Market and Tariff Pressures

The Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will not be part of the 2026 model year lineup, according to Dodge CEO Matt McAlear. While Dodge hasn’t completely ruled out the trim’s return in the future, the automaker has officially postponed its production for now. The reason? A combination of market shifts and uncertainties surrounding U.S. tariff policies. "Production of the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T is postponed for the 2026 model year as we continue to assess the effects of U.S. tariff policies,” McAlear said in a statement to Motor1. Instead, Dodge will sharpen its focus on high-performance offerings, like the Charger Daytona Scat Pack, and upcoming internal combustion alternatives. Scat Pack Takes Center Stage With the R/T trim off the table, the Daytona Scat Pack now becomes the sole all-electric Charger variant available for 2026. And it’s no slouch. Delivering 670 horsepower from its dual-motor setup, the Scat Pack is targeting mid-11-second quarter-mile times. However, the performance comes at the cost of range, 241 miles per the EPA estimate, a step down from the R/T’s 308 miles. That boost in performance also brings a steeper price tag. The Scat Pack will sit around $60,000 after factoring in the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. In contrast, the now-shelved R/T was expected to be a more accessible entry point to the electric muscle segment, slipping in under $50,000 with the same tax break. Lagging Sales, Overstuffed Lots Market data supports Dodge’s decision. Charger sales fell by a staggering 54 percent in 2024. The first-quarter sales of electric Chargers in 2025 totaled just 1,947 units, a mix of both R/T and Scat Pack trims. Meanwhile, Mopar Insiders reported that approximately 3,500 R/T units are still sitting unsold in dealer inventories. This lukewarm reception has highlighted a broader issue: despite the impressive specs, the brand’s electric offerings haven’t captured the hearts of traditional Dodge enthusiasts, many of whom remain loyal to internal combustion. The Sixpack Rises To address this, Dodge is introducing a new four-door variant, the Charger Sixpack, aimed at muscle fans not quite ready to embrace electrification. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, the Sixpack will be available in both standard-output (420 hp) and high-output (550 hp) trims. Though exact pricing hasn’t been revealed, it's expected to slot in around the price point previously held by the R/T. The new platform, STLA Large, is designed to support both EVs and ICE models, giving Dodge flexibility to pivot as demand dictates. Looking Ahead While the Charger Daytona R/T may be gone for now, its future isn’t completely off the table. Dodge is keeping a close eye on market dynamics, government policies, and consumer behavior as it fine-tunes its approach. With the Scat Pack holding the electric torch and the Six Pack catering to combustion purists, Dodge’s strategy appears focused on streamlining its offerings while covering both sides of the propulsion spectrum. As more details about the 2026 Charger lineup emerge, muscle car fans and industry watchers alike will be paying close attention. The muscle car isn’t dead, it’s just adapting.
