At the Tesla store (showroom?) in the Westfield Century City mall, customers (clients?) aren't allowed to actually sit in any actual Teslas—LA's in the throes of a pandemic, after all. But Tesla compensates for that potential difficulty by offering the so-called "touchless test drive" where a salesperson (concierge?) hands off the car and stays behind while amateur EV drivers get up to god-knows-what behind the wh

Vehicle handling is an assessment that examines how a wheeled automobile executes conventional routine tasks such as accelerating, braking, and cornering. To figure out how a vehicle handles, the vehicle has to be driven. Alternatively, prospective buyers could read up stats from trusted automobile blogs to make informed decisi

And that was one detail Ryan was dead-set on from the start: he was only interested in testing out the very cheapest Tesla money could buy. Yes, that means foregoing the potential supercar status of a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive Model 3 in favor of a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive car, but it's much more affordable. The question lingering in the air was whether the cheapest Model 3 would still be

What about power? In its strongest form, the Mach-E gets 459 hp and 612 lb-ft of on-demand torque. The Model 3 Performance gets more horsepower at 473 hp, but less torque at 471 lb-ft. However, the Mach-E is expected to accelerate from 0-60 in the mid-3-second range, while the Model 3 can do it in just click the up coming document 3.2 seconds. Another point for Te

But it was the build quality that Munro expressed the most frustration over. He noted that the windows seemed to rattle inside the panel despite having an obvious excess of sealing material in the frame. Pointing out one such flaw, Munro said, "This is an afterthought or something...You’re not supposed to just glue on another piece. Usually, you take whatever’s wrong and pull it out and put another one in...Geez, I never saw that befo

It seems like the Model 3 is still the better buy, but things get a little more favorable when comparing the Mach-E to the upcoming Model Y. The Mach-E has a better range (280 miles on the Model Y) and a comparable price, but a lot can change in a year. We'll find out how these two rivals will stack up later in 2

Tesla has confirmed that Chinese customers will be allowed to place orders for a long-range, rear-wheel drive Model 3 variant, which should cost 433,00 yuan ($64,300.56), with a medium-range Model 3 going at $35,950 for start

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

Next, it was my turn to drive. Ryan pulled over so we could switch positions. I adjusted the mirrors, set the steering on Sport, checked out the rear visibility (not great but again, I'd say better than the Lucid Air the day before), and floored

The current undisputed king of the electric car is Tesla’s Model 3. It’s affordable (relatively speaking), has great range, incredible technology in Tesla Autopilot, and even more incredible performance. The Ford Mach-E has a lot of ground to make up for. Let’s see how these two vehicles stack

Ford will be selling dedicated home charging stations to its Mach-E customers for ease of charging. Asides this, Ford has also partnered with several charging stations for its FordPass Charging Network claiming it’ll be the largest charging network in the

The car’s panel work had frequent gaps and inconsistencies, showing a clear lack of manufacturing quality. "The tolerance stack-ups on this car are just, like nothing we’ve ever seen before. Not since... the ’70s or somethi

Tesla currently exports all the cars they sell to China but are now in the process of building a Shanghai factory to produce Model 3s in the first phase. The California-based company has made a deal with the Chinese government to lease land in the country for 50 ye
