Matt Farah Tests The All-Electric Polestar 2 In Malibu

Tesla's market standing in the world of electric 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


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


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


There is no Apple Carplay or Android Auto integration in Tesla’s software. For the most part, Tesla’s GPS software is good but lacks the seamless feeling of connectivity found in other ecosystems like Google’s or Apple�


It can be tempting to always have an EV fully charged and ready to go at all times but that may not be the best for long term battery health. Experts recommend limiting the Model 3 or any Ev Racing Games|Https://Evinsightzone.Com/’s battery charge to 80% or 90% unless the driver is going on a road trip and actually needs the full battery charge. Owners can set the limit in the car settings or app setti


Thanks to all the space Lucid saves with this innovative design, they have the chance to shape the vehicle in non-conventional ways. So while there's more space inside for people and things, the vehicle itself can maintain a smaller overall footprint. To demonstrate what that means for us automotive enthusiasts is that the Air – which is 195.5 inches long – should handle as well, if not better, than a similarly sized car such as the BMW M5 (194.6 inches) while being able to carry passengers in the comfort and luxury that could only be experienced in something like the 7 Series. That's well demonstrated in its Laguna Seca lap record . While we can be sure that very few Lucid owners will be tracking their cars, it's encouraging to see this new company keeping an eye planted on real driving performance as a part of their benchmark


An easy way to send directions straight from Google Maps on your phone to the Model 3 is to use the share button in Google Maps. As long as both Google Maps and the Tesla app are installed on the phone it should be a sharing opt


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


The rear bed of the Blazer, meanwhile, now holds the 60-kWh battery pack—which really removes a lot of the daily functionality of the two-seater SUV-truck blend. But this project was built to show off the tech, so keeping the components visible may have been a higher priority than squeezing them into tight spa


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


Perhaps one of the most American hobbies, the road-trip, has seen a vast boom this year as concerns over personal health and safety have risen. Offering excellent over the road options, the Air offers some 739 liters of luggage space in large part thanks to its compact drivetrain and battery package. Add to that the exceptional 517-mile range and it's becoming more and more clear that Lucid is serious about taking on big names such as Tesla, Porsche, and Riv


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
