Originally, he was dead-set on something bigger, probably used, with a bit of power under the hood (years ago, Ryan owned a 1990s 4Runner and loved everything about it except the weak engine). The first-place option on his growing list of potentials has typically been a Porsche Cayenne—probably a V8, hopefully a GTS, or, at the very least, an S. But he's also pondered the Macan... and a 1980s Mercedes-Benz diesel station wagon... and a mid-2000s Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG wagon... and on and
With all this talk about EVs being the future, it's easy to get caught up in what a lot of companies are really trying to do. Gittin Jr. mentions that he and Ford aren't necessarily trying to replace internal combustion cars with this vehicle, but simply using it to educate people about there being other opti
The Polestar 2 shares much of its design aesthetic with its higher-spec hybrid sibling, but at a price that's at least somewhat closer to reasonable. The starting sticker price expected to begin around $61,000 before government incentive. That should place it in competition with higher-trim Tesla Models 3 and Y, which will share the Polestar 2's setup of an electric motor powering each axle with 201 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque (for a combined output of 402 ponies and 487 lb-ft of twi
When Lucid Motors teased their "Lucid Space Concept," we couldn't be sure how much if any of the advanced design would make its way to their road cars, and today, with the release of the Air Dream Edition , we can confirm that it's a major part of the puzzle. The Space concept advances the EV space in multiple facets that allow for more interior space overall. In the case of the Air Dream Edition, it contributes to its claim to have best-in-class interior space snatching that title from the likes of Tesla . The space savings aren't just for the passenger cabin tho
Founded in 2003 by two engineers, the company's name is a nod to an electrical engineer and inventor Nikola Tesla. One of the co-founders, Elon Musk, formerly served as chairman and is the current CEO - add this to the list of things you didn't know about Elon . After a decade in the market, Tesla ranked as the world's best selling plug-in and the best-selling battery electric passenger car manufacturer based on the number of cars sold in 2019. Despite Tesla prices rising in China due to the slashed EV subsidies, the Tesla Model 3 is cheaper than much of its competit
However, you are somewhat mistaken. The Model 3 base price is lower than most of the vehicles on the list. The Model 3 Standard runs at around $27,000, coming in at the second most inexpensive choice, only beaten out by the Honda Accord Hybrid. The Tesla Model 3 Standard Plus comes in at $28,950, being the fourth cheapest on the list, beaten out by Acura ILX Premium in third pl
Those power figures allow the Polestar 2 to sprint to 60 in a respectable 4.1 seconds, while the all-wheel-drive setup allows for up to .90 g of lateral acceleration during cornering. But, stats only go so far in the real world, so what does an experienced tester like Matt Farah think? Well, he's definitely impressed with the Polestar 2's fit and finish, plus the Swedish design elements and build quality. Matt wants to know the EPA-estimated range, which could be anywhere in the 190 to mid-200-mile range. Matt admits he loves Teslas, but this car "feels like a much better-built, solid thing. It doesn't have some of the cheekiness, some of the meme-come-to-life things the Tesla has." Other highlights include advanced connectivity capabilities including a large touchscreen, a Google infotainment system with Google Assistance, and a system that recognizes the driver by connecting with their smartphone to adjust seating setti
Some easter eggs include: 1) Pressing the about screen of the infotainment for five seconds to reveal a company photo. 2) While charging, press the button on a charger handle 10 times for the light ring to show a rainbow. 3) Press and hold the Tesla logo for five seconds and enter Mars or 007 in the prompt to change the infotainment vehi
In the video above, Jonny Smith from The Late Brake Show YouTube Channel got an exclusive look at the Mach-E 1400, and even got the privilege of getting a ride with Vaughn Gittin Jr. As much as we all enjoy seeing the footage of Gittin drifting the Mach-E as if he was auditioning for the next gymkhana video , that's not what we are here for today – we're here because we finally get a deeper look into the makings of this amazing car, and the real ideas surrounding the proj
Back in 2008, Top Gear aired an episode of presenter Jeremy Clarkson getting the opportunity to test the first Tesla Roadster . Clarkson started by demonstrating how quick it was compared to the Lotus Elise it was based off of, and proceeded to rip the entire car apart, thereby basically concluding that electric cars are dumb and will never catch on. Fast forward to now, and you have companies such as Ford making insane electric sports cars like the Mach-E 1400, and showcasing just how awesome electric car news|https://evinsightzone.com/ cars can be. A little over a week ago, Ford and Vaughn Gittin Jr. took the Mach-E to Goodwood Festival of Speed to showcase its performance. And now, we're getting a closer look at this amazing ride, including details surrounding American rapper T-Pain’s involvement with the car’s so
