The Tesla cult knows hardly any borders.

When it comes to criticism of the electric car pioneer, some supporters get angry.

A member of their own fan base gets to feel this.

Georgia / Munich - Sergio Rodriguez is a passionate electric car enthusiast - and owns a Tesla Model X. The electric SUV has been available for sale for a number of years and, given its size and features, is reserved for people with a more solvent wallet.

Rodriguez seems to be in good hands: the influencer recently owns another vehicle with the same type of drive in addition to a Stromer from the Elon Musk company.

However, this is a competing product: the Ford Mustang Mach-E.

In the meantime, the traditional car company from the United States also has an electric-powered crossover that targets the target group of electric car buyers.

Tesla against Ford Mustang Mach-E: Influencer reaps hostility from angry fans

Said Rodriguez is now “two-pronged” - and has incurred a lot of anger with a comparison between Tesla and Ford.

According to

Teslamag.de, the

man from Georgia (Texas) is

confronted with

ranting tirades

- including

death

threats.

What happened?

In a video posted on social networks, the car fanatic apparently praised the electric car of the hated rival Ford too exuberantly.

As a result, numerous denigrations were expressed, especially on Twitter and Facebook.

They deal with the destruction of the Ford Mustang Mach-e to "physical violence" against its owner, the Tesla magazine quoted in an interview with the

Detroit Free Press

.

“Tesla fan” Rodriguez doesn't just seem to have a weakness for Tesla, but rather an enthusiasm for US electric cars.

The man repeatedly posts photos of his passion for cars on Twitter, Facebook and Co., also with a comparison between the smaller Model Y - and the direct rival in the form of the Ford electric car:

Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y. Side by side.

How do they truly compare?

Some of my take always, coming soon!

The fact that car fan Rodriguez exaggerates a little in his descriptions of hostility does not appear to be ruled out.

In this context, what is more important is what the Tesla fan base has specifically raised against the influencer?

Answer: Statements regarding the range of Tesla and Ford e-cars.

Tesla electric cars with less range than rival Ford's new model?

Rodriguez had nothing to complain about with his Tesla Model X.

However, the fact that he was exuberantly enthusiastic about the Ford Mach-E weighed heavily: Test drives had shown that charging with the Ford electric car was quick and easy.

He also reveled in various features of the Mustang Mach-E such as an all-round camera.

There is a delicate assessment of one of Tesla's prime disciplines - the range: According to this, the Ford Mustang Mach-E made it farther than the Tesla SUV at a comparable speed and capacity.

Even the statement that the range information in the Tesla Model Y would be "confusing" met with little understanding from Tesla fans.

Incidentally, local supporters were recently shocked by the news that the electric giant from the USA is already turning the lights off again at a European production facility:

Sergio Rodriguez, who caused a sensation among many followers with his comparison between Tesla and Ford, sees himself exposed to accusations that he was paid by Ford for his videos.

Nevertheless: With extensive upgrades of its top models, the electric car pioneer Tesla has recently increased the pressure on the competition even further.
