When Tesla owners are out and about and need a quick top-up or are planning long road trips, Supercharger stations are invaluable. Tesla’s supercharger stations can fully charge even the biggest Tesla EV batteries in under 1.5 hours with an 80% charge in about half an h

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

There are numerous humorous jokes and references hidden throughout the Model 3. Some easter eggs can be found in the software but others can be found in various parts of the actual car, much like a real easter egg h

UK based Zero EV specializes in EV conversions, setting out to prove just how great electric cars truly can be. Their goal with this Miata project was mainly to test out its EV setups on small, lightweight roadsters such as the Miatas and MGBs. They wanted to have all the fun and benefits of an EV without loosing any of the joyful characteristics of driving the original car. After all, it is a worthy reminder that the first Tesla, was a converted Lotus Eli

Not so in the new era of VR, he said. "In virtual reality, I can iterate instantaneously… And I really enjoy working in VR because we can have five or six iterations of the car and you can quickly click through each iteration to figure out which attributes you like the be

"I’ve also got a [VW] GTI that’s my daily driver when I’m at work. It’s just fun and sporty. It’s a very holistic, democratic design that’s both sporty and doesn’t say anything pretentious. It’s just co

In order to retain the Miata's 50/50 weight distribution, Zero EV fit the Hper9 motor along with a prototype 1.8:1 reduction gearbox in the car's original transmission tunnel. The EV inverter, controllers, and 26kWh battery pack are all neatly tucked away up front in the engine

That aesthetic, in many ways, would provide the whole foundation of Lucid’s ethos moving forward. But despite being a brand with the clear intention of revolutionizing the future of automobiles, Jenkins and Rawlinson agreed they didn’t want to get too aggressive with the Air’s design language. And it all came down to the target custo

But due to the lack of a rotating internal combustion assembly, other electrical components have been added including an electric power steering setup, an electric brake booster, and a conversion to electronic control for the gauge cluster that adds a battery charge meter in place of the fuel ga

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 sneak a peek at this website Bolt EV 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

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

As daunting as the job might sound, now consider that the modern automotive industry as a whole finds itself upended by the rising tide of electrification—notably spearheaded by Elon Musk and his growing crop of Tesla E

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

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
