One of the most anticipated electric vehicles has hit the market before the end of 2020 and could be a positive catalyst for a legacy automotive manufacturer heading into the new year.

What Happened: The first 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E delivery occurred in Dallas, Texas on Tuesday, according to InsideEVs.

The car from Ford Motor Company F is produced in Mexico, so Texas wasn’t a surprise location for the first delivery.

Deliveries in other states should start soon, with InsideEVs reporting that Mach-E buyers have received emails about their vehicles shipping.

Why It’s Important: New Ford CEO Jim Farley has put an emphasis on the company to grow through electric vehicles. The company has committed $11.5 billion through 2022 to investments in electric vehicles.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E has several models and price points. The Mach-E Premium ER RWD is the first 300-mile range electric vehicle from a manufacturer other than Tesla Inc TSLA.

The vehicle has a price point of $45,600 after tax credits. The cheapest Mach-E with a 211-mile range has a price point of $39,195 after tax credits.

The Tesla Model Y LR with 300-mile range has a price point of $61,190. The Tesla Model 3 Perf LR AWD with 315-mile range has a price point of $56,190.

The new electric vehicle from Ford is the most affordable all-wheel drive, all-electric car and has comparable range to Tesla. This car could become a bestseller quickly in the United States and Europe given its range and price point.

The new vehicle from Ford was featured in a holiday commercial reuniting the Griswold family from “Christmas Vacation” and “Vacation.” Unlike Tesla, Ford is a heavy spender on advertising and could put more money into ad campaigns for the vehicle.

F Price Action: Shares of Ford were up 0.17% at $8.84 at last check Tuesday. Shares have traded as high as $9.45 in the last 52 weeks. Shares traded around $6.89 when new CEO Farley took over.
