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
"A lot of people criticize Tesla for being so dependent on incentives. In fact, for a company making EVs, we have the least access to incentives. It's pretty crazy. Because there's so many countries that have put price caps on the EV incentive which differentially affect Tesla. And in China, which is the biggest market for EV's, we've never had any subsidies or tax incentives for vehic
The giant size of the Hummer provides ample space for batteries and with 350 miles available of range per charge, it should be capable of taking most owners anywhere they might want to go. When hooked up to a quick charger, the EV truck can charge to 100 miles of range in just ten minutes. That's clearly enough for the average consumer who travels far less than that each
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
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
"The inhibitor is affordability. It's just that people literally don't have the money to buy the car. It's got nothing to do with desire. They just don't have enough money in the bank account. If the car can – if we made it more affordable, the demand is extraordina
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
Tesla's market standing in the world of electric car game cheats|Https://evinsightzone.com/ vehicles remains strong, with the only real competition coming from Porsche's Taycan, which has largely priced itself out of the mainstream automotive industry. Polestar, formerly of Volvo but now its own brand, is looking to shake things up with the affordable, all-electric Polestar 2 (as opposed to the hybrid Polestar 1, which is more of an enormous superc
"Obviously, the big focus is launching Air," he replied. "Getting it into production, making sure all our stores are open, making sure our online digital platform for customer experiences is bulletproof and working well. We’re trying to give our customers the best possible online experience and the best possible ownership experien
Matt Farah has made a life for himself that should make most gearheads sick with envy. On his YouTube channel The Smoking Tire, Farah regularly reviews some of the world's best cars, including recent posts taking the new 992-generation Porsche 911 Targa 4S out for a spin and blasting around the Angeles National Forest in a Ferrari F8 Spider . Now, Farah turns his attention to the all-electric Polestar 2 for a test drive in Malibu to see how this potential Tesla Model 3 competitor fares during some aggressive driving and from an overall value-meets-aesthetics standpo
"Peter from day one had this philosophy that we could get a lot more space inside the car relative to its external footprint," Jenkins recounted. "We were taking the position that all modern sedans on the road are really defined by their ICE packagi
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
