It doesn't get much more American than a Mustang, and in recent years the Mach-E charged onto the scene, ready to take on a new class of vehicle. We’re conducting a 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E vs Tesla Model 3 comparison. We’ll show you why the Mach-E is better than the Model 3 could ever be.
Key takeaways
- While the Model 3 offers a bit more range, it’s much more expensive than the Mach-E.
- The Mach-E comes with a ton of color options to pick from.
- The Model 3 dropped its entry-level trim, making it less consumer friendly than the Mach-E which dropped its price in the same year.
Yes, and for 2025, the Mach-E has a lower price. This was done to make the vehicle even more affordable, helping even more people go green. All models now come standard with a new heat pump which helps keep the cabin warm, and gives the vehicle better performance in the cold.

Is there a 2025 Tesla Model 3?
Yes. For 2025, the Model 3 has dropped the Standard Range model. This makes the entire lineup start at a higher price than years prior. Otherwise, not too many changes on this year's model.
What is the 2025 Mustang Mach-E price?
For 2025, the Mach-E starts at $36,495. The 2025 Mach-E comes in 4 trims, and thanks to a reduced price, come in these, more affordable prices:
- Select starting at $36,495
- Premium starting at $39,995
- GT starting at $52,495
- Mustang Mach-E Rally starting at $55,995
With a few options to pick from, Car and Driver thinks that the “Premium model is the Mach-E to get”. This is due to the trim adding “substantial luxuries compared to the less expensive Select trim.” This trim is able to get 320 miles when properly equipped, making it a decent road trip vehicle.
What is the 2025 Tesla Model 3 price?
For 2025, the Model 3 now starts at $42,490. Due to Tesla dropping the base trim that was once on the line, it now comes in 3 trims. The trims are:
- Long Range RWD starting at $42,490
- Long Range AWD starting at $47,490
- Performance AWD starting at $54,990
Car and Driver notes that they'd “recommend either the rear- or all-wheel-drive Long Range models, which offer an estimated 363 and 346 miles of driving per charge, respectively.” While the Model 3 does offer slightly more range, it also comes in at a price that is $6,000 more than the Mach-E, making these extra miles not worth it in our opinion.
What are the colors for the Mach-E 2025?
For 2025, three new colors have been added. The new colors are Molten Magenta, Velocity Blue, and Desert Sand. The other colors that you can find are Glacier Gray, Star White, Eruption Green, Shadow Black, and Grabber Yellow.
What are the colors for the Model 3 2025?
The Model 3 comes in 6 colors. The colors that you can find on the Model 3 are Stealth Grey, Pearl White, Deep Blue, Diamond Black, Ultra Red, and Quicksilver.
The Mach-E has the Mustang pride in its heart, and much like the regular Mustang, it comes with colors that make people say “wow”.
Which model has better battery specs?
That really depends on what you’re looking for. With the Mach-E, you can enjoy faster at home charging. When plugged into a 240V outlet, you can fully charge the battery in 7 hours, while the Model 3 will take you nearly 12 hours. This makes it nearly impossible to fully charge the vehicle overnight.
When it comes to horsepower, both models offer a similar amount on the high-end. The Model 3 comes with 510 horsepower, while the Mustang Mach-E has slightly less at 480.
While this may seem like a bad deal, when you factor in the price, the Mach-E just makes more sense, even when it comes with “worse” horsepower.
Final thoughts
While the Model 3 was once the coolest car around, there's a new sheriff in town, and that’s the Mach-E. Come on down to Jarrett Scott Ford and we’ll show you why the Mach-E should be your next EV SUV.
