Ford Motor is offering substantial lease discounts on its Mustang Mach-E electric vehicle, positioning it as a cost-effective alternative to the class-leading Tesla Model Y. The discounts, aimed at boosting the appeal of the Mach-E, make it significantly cheaper to lease than the Tesla.
The automaker has increased the lease cash available on the 2024 Mustang Mach-E to $9,000, coupled with a $600 Summer Sale bonus. This reduces the monthly lease payments on the Mach-E Select RWD to $319 for a 36-month lease, with $4,469 due at signing.

The current deal is available until September 3, though final pricing may vary based on location, with these figures specific to Southern California.
