The Ford Mustang Mach E is a compelling alternative to a Tesla.

Any reason why that car in particular? It looks to me like there are lots of compelling alternatives right now (Korean, European, Chinese, …).
Everything is an alternative until you weight features+performance/price
I’m still holding out hope that Telo Trucks will ship in a reasonable timeframe.
The only car I would consider instead over Model Y would be a Rivian R2, which is not out for a while. And I really like FSD.
I have had a great experience with Ioniq 5 and the real world range is better than Model Y (similar price point model).
I really liked the Ioniq 5 on a test drive, and my neighbours who lease one really like it too.

The Renault Scenic e-tech (maybe not sold in US?) also has a longer range than a Model Y and for less money. It seems generally pretty nice.

I'm suspect of your range claim, do you have a source?
I rented a Polestar yesterday and loved it. Granted, never driven an EV before.
My colleague decided to just get a Porsche Taycan instead.
