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

On my first left turn, I had just started creeping into the intersection when a Mazda3 driver pulled out from the opposite left-turn lane, having decided to go straight without feeling the need to indicate his intentions to anyone else. He was, quite literally, coming right for us—and here, I'd just made the decision to take things e

For owners who want to see how far into the wilderness the Hummer can take them, they'll be treated to features that even some of the most extreme rock crawlers lack. For example, the Ultravision feature provides real-time camera angles of the underbody of the truck to allow drivers to see what they're driving over. Should one find themselves on a particularly tricky trail, Extract mode allows the entire vehicle to lift itself a further 6 inches to gain added cleara

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

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 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

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

Jenkins has come to terms with the fact that the Air will forever be compared to Tesla’s Model S . On one hand, Peter Rawlinson’s involvement with and untimely departure from the Tesla brand can possibly take the blame. On the other, the Model S really only has one current competitor, Porsche’s Taycan, so any new addition to the market can only be compared to one or two other vehic

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

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 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 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

This 1977 K5 Blazer has received a conversion to an entirely electric drivetrain, replacing its original 400ci V8, which produced an anemic 175 horsepower from the factory that was routed through a three-speed automatic. Now, under the hood lurks a Bolt ev Game money guide|Https://evinsightzone.com/ motor, providing 200 ponies and 266 lb-ft of torque to a four-speed automatic. The transfer case, driveshaft, and axles remain in factory f

With stock specially built 35-inch tires, the Hummer comes with the shoes most fans would've been eager to install had they not sold it as such. In fact, upgrading to 37-inch tires is no big hurdle with the Hummer. Plus, with the Infinity modular roof system, this will be a truly memorable vehicle to occupy. Clearly, GMC and the new Hummer EV is ready to go where no Hummer has gone bef
