Volvo spinoff Polestar sure has its newest product making the rounds these days. Last month, Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire got a chance to drive a Polestar 2 around Malibu —where he was passed by another tester doing the very same thing in an identical car. Now, the Polestar 2 has made its way northward to Canada, where the YouTube channel Throttle House has pitted it in a compare-and-contrast against its main competitor, the established Tesla Model 3. Farah came away from his Polestar test drive incredibly impressed, thinking the car was a significant improvement over the Model 3, but he's only one data point. Now, we've got a pair of testers putting the two (relatively) affordable EVs head to h

Speaking of people who might root against an electric vehicle's design, Lucid’s majority shareholder is PIF, the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia . How, I asked Jenkins, did Lucid get hitched up with a modern-day monarchy established and sustained by the monopolization of the very fossil fuels that Lucid wants to render obsol

Conversely, Mach-E, asides from being an EV is built as a crossover SUV, therefore, sharing no form with conventional combustion engine Mustangs. It also won’t have the trademark noise often associated with Mustangs as EVs are as quiet as a dove – Mustang enthusiasts won’t be pleased with th

Tesla, Inc. is an American electric vehicle and company based in Palo Alto, California. The company specializes in electric vehicle manufacturing, energy storage, and solar panel manufacturing. As of 2020, Tesla produces Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y c

Gittin Jr. and Jonny also discuss how although the body is an actual production Mach-E, the aero is a fully functional system capable of generating 2,300 lbs of downforce that was designed to be effective on both a road course and drifting, featuring a lightweight hood made from f

Mach-E is designed to have its battery positioned within the car floor and this leaves ample space in the car for both the passenger and the cargo. It has a rear cargo space volume of 29 cu-ft and complimentary front cargo space of 4.8 cu-ft – relatively larger than most EVs are offer

EVs have been around for a bit , but it only started getting mass-produced around a decade ago. With the Mach-E, Ford will have its first all-electric crossover in the EV market. Ford has also added the Mustang nameplate to the Mach-E hoping that it’ll strengthen the car’s marketability. The Mustang Mach-E is dropping soon, and we’ve listed some reasons why it could be a great EV or a f

All told, the sizing seems pretty similar, though the Model 3 has a slightly larger frunk (front trunk). But how about the actual ride quality and design elements that might set the two cars apart? In the end, both cars are fun to drive but the two end up split on their preference. While the Model 3 is cheaper and has access to Tesla's charging network, the refinement of the Polestar 2 might attract buyers until Elon Musk feels like updating his years-old designs sometime s

The more 'expensive' Model 3's are the Mid Range and the Long Range RWD, coming in at $31 and $34,950, falling in the middle/lower end of the pack in terms of pricing. Despite being around $4,000 more expensive than the Standard trim option, these models are still fairly priced for the advanced technologies and drive quality provi

The Tesla Model 3, meanwhile, can be had with a single motor and rear-wheel-drive only, but for comparison's sake, the Performance AWD Model 3 starts at $54,990 with an EPA range of 322 miles and a WLTP range of 329. The Model Y costs a few thousand bucks more and features similar stats. But how do the two sedans comp

The Air certainly won’t be alone in Lucid’s lineup. Just last week, Lucid teased Project Gravity, a forthcoming SUV concept that Jenkins believes will complement the Air well, both from a sales and a design perspective. Expanding Lucid’s range of products will be a little bit easier than the first car's design, Jenkins hinted, now that Lucid has actually begun what established automakers have, arguably, overdone so much over the ye

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

Furthermore, the Model 3 wins out big time on fuel economy and efficiency, calculated in miles per gallon equivalency for the electric car simulation games|https://evinsightzone.com/ vehicles. With all of these wins in various categories across the competition, you might assume that the price is going to be much higher than the other opti

From a stats perspective, the fact that Polestar intended its first EV to take on the Model 3 and Model Y becomes immediately clear. Where the Polestar 1 fits more into the hybrid-supercar-grand tourer umbrella , the new-for-2021 Polestar 2 is a full-electric, dual-motor sedan with a starting price of $61,200. That sticker price buys power output of 408 horses and 487 lb-ft of torque routed to all four wheels, with an EPA-estimated range of 233 miles and a WLTP estimate of 292 miles. Unlike most Throttle House vids, though, this one doesn't feature a drag race, which the Tesla would probably
