Everyone in the automotive industry knows that electrification is the way of the future. Just look at the Ford Mustang Mach-E with 1,400 horsepower screaming through some drifts or Elon Musk’s Tesla models as they dominate drag strips. Lucid’s VP of Design Derek Jenkins even said that the Saudi Monetary Wealth Fund is hedging its bets with a $1 billion investment into the EV market, a serious sign of the changing times. Now, Chevrolet has announced a new pilot program for a potential electric conversion crate engine that will be revealed for the first time in a restomodded K5 Blazer at the upcoming virtual SEMA360 eve

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

Electric cars have set a new standard for interiors in recent years. With slick panels and space-age graphics, its the vision of the future we all expected would eventually arrive in automobiles. And yet, for all that Tesla has set the bar in this area, Polestar has hit back with a worthy challenger of their own. The 2 has a central pad similar to the Tesla Model 3, but in the Polestar, its higher for easier viewing. Fitted with an easy to navigate Google OS, it has very little lag and makes for a seamless electronic experience that fits in well with its surroundi

But a new offering from Scandinavia may just have the South African entrepreneur slightly concerned. Fresh off the back of the original Polestar concept, the company has hit back with the Polestar 2 — the tricky second album. For a company so young, its a bold move, one intended to shake up the electric vehicle game beginner Guide|https://evinsightzone.com/ car indus

Over 90 percent of the system’s parts are shared with the Chevy Bolt, including regenerative braking, battery heating, and cooling functions, and an overcharge protection kit. After renowned GM aftermarket builders Lingenfelter Performance Engineering tests out a training and certification program for the eCrate package, Chevy hopes to begin sales to the general public in the second half of 2

Back at the mall, we tooled around with the center screen. (The radar function while driving is pretty cool; otherwise, it’s just a slightly nicer touchscreen than most other cars I’ve driven). We checked out the rear seat’s legroom and both trunks, we looked at the wheels—basically, the stuff that might make a difference for Ryan’s purchase. I checked out the tires, curious whether we were only drifting thanks to bargain-basement rubber: sure enough, disappointing Michelin Primacy MXM4 all-season tires (but don’t worry, Tesla offers a summer wheel and tire upgrade for $2,0

The Tesla Model 3 features 3 unique drive modes: Chill Mode, Drive Mode, and Track Mode. The Chill mode is meant for energy savings, and it makes the Model 3 much slower, but more efficient. Drive Mode is the standard mode, while track mode allows the car to control whether torque goes to the front or back wheels, which decreases rotation when corner

First things first, Ryan made a right turn out of the garage, then quickly made an immediate and illegal U-turn. And then, he floored it. I wasn’t at all ready, still musing at the car’s interior design details, and my head snapped back into the seat—good thing it’s nice and soft or whiplash would be ruining my week. At about 60 miles per hour, Ryan let off, grinning like a supervillain. As the regenerative braking slowed us down (without Ryan even touching the brake pedal), he looked around, presumably checking for c

It isn’t just on the inside that the Polestar 2 provides a glimpse of the future. It’s exterior is stunningly put together, whether in pristine white or the equally impressive space grey. Its wheel rims are also eye-catching, while the front grille and headlights look as if they belong on a car from Tomorrow’s World . It’s a compelling minimal aesthetic, not over-complicated by needless pan

Tesla’s primary USP is the insane, raw performance of their flagships. In terms of acceleration, few cars, let alone electric, can compete with some of its market leaders. But, as Top Gear points out , these «YouTube friendly 0-60 times» don’t always reflect the car’s overall package. The Polestar meanwhile, gives you everything you could possibly want from a saloon/SUV crossover. It’s not exactly slow, even if it clocks in at a frankly excessive weight of 2.1 tonnes. but more than that, its spacious and comfortable to drive, thanks to the smooth handling and limited driver modifications required. This isn’t one for the purist, but in terms of wider appeal, it ticks all boxes with flying col

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

And now, as Tesla approaches establishment status, a handful of even newer EV startups have emerged, a prospect that has shaken the world’s major automotive brands to their very cores. Clearly concerned with being overtaken by more nimble competitors selling bolder visions, Ford made a half-billion-dollar bet on the Electric Car Game Story Guide|Https://Evinsightzone.Com/ Rivian pickup truck concept back in 2019 ( before backing out due to Covid-19 ), while General Motors more recently dropped a $2 billion investment into a similar idea from Nikola (as in, you guessed it, pioneering inventor Nikola Tes

One of the greatest elements of modern EV design is that the «skateboard» battery-motor platform they all employ allows for massive interior and cargo space. Throttle House hosts Thomas and James compare trunk space front and rear for both cars, plus headroom in the front and back se

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

Some might think that since the Model 3 is an electric car, it can’t possibly go that fast, but it is actually as quick as a Ferrari 488 GTB. Also, the range is often an issue in electric cars, but the Model 3 can travel up to 310 miles per charge, and it only takes 15 minutes to recharge to 172 miles. We really are living in the future! Today, we have compiled a list of 15 amazing things that the Tesla Model 3 can do. Let’s get straight to

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

Yes, as we mentioned, the Tesla Model 3 has the ability to drive itself. It is not fully autonomous yet, but according to the American automakers, it will become more capable with time. It can drive itself, park, change lanes, and soon, it will be able to recognize and react to traffic lig

When it comes to the luxury electric car market, there really is only one company that comes to mind — Tesla . A herculean effort was always going to be required from any company hoping to compete with Elon Musk’s very own pet project, whose pockets are deep and PR machine is seemingly relentl

Pointing at the centrally mounted touchscreen—yes, it’s a whole lot like an iPad—from outside the car, Gianni walked Ryan through adjusting the rearview mirrors and selecting various driving functions like the aggressiveness of the regenerative braking and the steering weight. We got the A/C blasting (out of very classy vents hidden in a knuckle on the long dash) and the nav system running. Gianni told us we had 25 minutes or so on our own with the car, and we were
