Whenever you think of luxury cars, the Rolls Royce Phantom is probably quite high up on the list. The Phantom has been around in various forms for many, many years and currently, the Rolls Royce Phantom VIII is the one you can go out and buy. Comfortable, spacious and very much a high-end car the Phantom oozes lux
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
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
For the next five minutes or, Ryan proceeded to mash the throttle, then slow down, mash the throttle, then slow down. He took a few turns at a good clip, too, impressed by the Tesla's mild manners and smooth ride on bumpy boulevards like Olympic and Sepulveda—we were definitely speeding at least 90% of the time but the car was seemingly riding on
Charging is another strong point for the Model 3. A Long Range AWD Model 3 can charge 172 miles in 15 minutes. Ford's Mach-E Select can get 47 miles in 10 minutes, which works out to roughly 70 miles in 15 minutes. Two points for Te
"This thing is a miserable job," Munro tells Autoline’s John McElroy. Without even having disassembled the car, Munro was able to point out more flaws on the Model 3 than cars from the early ‘90s, and some of them were quite danger
It should be no surprise to see Audi appear on this list. They might not have the same feel as a Mercedes, but they are no less luxurious. The A6 is no exception to that rule either. Audi’s are great performers on urban and country roads, as well as the highways too. Plus, what’s not to like about all-wheel dr
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
The first thing to establish is that, if electric cars are going to have a hope of resonating and becoming more ubiquitous in society, the pricetags will surely have to be slashed. The original Polestar was $140,000, understandable given its tech specs, but hardly accessible to most consumers. The Polestar 2 however, is a step in the right direction, coming in at a more than reasonable $59,000 . Future incarnations are also likely to be open to modifications, which could reduce the fee further for stripped-back models. While it's true that the Polestar 2 somewhat lags behind the Model 3 in terms of driving range, in every other department it's a worthy challenger - making the pricetag a more than respectable
First up: range. For anyone buying an electric car, range is always the first thing on their mind. The extended-range Mach-E is expected to reach 300 miles on a single charge from a 98.8 kWh battery. The Tesla Model 3 Long Range has it beat with 332 miles on a 75 kWh battery. Even in base forms, the Mach-E can manage 230 miles, while the Model 3 Standard gets 250 mi
Tesla as a brand didn't get to where it is by making distinctly average vehicles, and it is indeed true that they're the industry standard when it comes to electric technology. But it's a fallacy to assume the Tesla aesthetic isn't part of their appeal. The simple, elegant design is all part of the brand. Polestar, therefore, have done exactly the right thing by making sure the design is also on point. On this evidence, they have a worthy challenger to Telsa's Model 3. Not bad for a company that's only been in the game since 2
