Tesla Model Y Long Range vs Ford Mustang Mach-E: Winter Range

The Model Y's standard heat pump versus the Mach-E's mixed heating (resistive on many trims) is the defining difference in cold weather.

Tesla Model Y Long Rangeheat pump

EPA range311 mi

Est. winter @ -15°C235 mi

Retention75%

Peak DC charge250 kW

Preconditioning20–30 min while plugged in (or via Navigate to Supercharger)

Ford Mustang Mach-Emixed

EPA range320 mi

Est. winter @ -15°C225 mi

Retention70%

Peak DC charge150 kW

Preconditioning30 min while plugged in via scheduled departure

Verdict: The Model Y wins in winter: its heat pump and faster preconditioned charging beat the Mach-E, especially on resistive-heat trims. The Mach-E remains competitive only in 2024+ heat-pump trims, but its 150 kW peak charge rate still trails in cold.
