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
The current undisputed king of the electric car is Tesla’s Model 3. It’s affordable (relatively speaking), has great range, incredible technology in Tesla Autopilot, and even more incredible performance. The Ford Mach-E has a lot of ground to make up for. Let’s see how these two vehicles stack
Finally, we arrive at the interior. The Mach-E is said to have storage space of up to 59.3 cubic feet, while the Model 3 scrapes by with just 15 cubic feet. The Model 3 has a 15-inch infotainment screen, but the Mach-E has a 15.5-inch touchscreen and a 10.5-inch instrument cluster screen. Point for the Mac
Tesla currently exports all the cars they sell to China but are now in the process of building a Shanghai factory to produce Model 3s in the first phase. The California-based company has made a deal with the Chinese government to lease land in the country for 50 ye
Back in 2008, Top Gear aired an episode of presenter Jeremy Clarkson getting the opportunity to test the first Tesla Roadster . Clarkson started by demonstrating how quick it was compared to the Lotus Elise it was based off of, and proceeded to rip the entire car apart, thereby basically concluding that electric cars are dumb and will never catch on. Fast forward to now, and you have companies such as Ford making insane electric sports cars like the Mach-E 1400, and showcasing just how awesome electric cars can be. A little over here a week ago, Ford and Vaughn Gittin Jr. took the Mach-E to Goodwood Festival of Speed to showcase its performance. And now, we're getting a closer look at this amazing ride, including details surrounding American rapper T-Pain’s involvement with the car’s so
One way to find a more accurate measure of how much range a Tesla actually has is to pull up the energy graph in the app settings. The energy graph can pull more accurate range estimates based on recent miles dri
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
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
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
The Model 3 is a sophisticated piece of technology that knows how much range drivers have left based on battery charge and driver history. But in many cases, drivers find the estimates Tesla’s EVs display may be far off the mark from how much range they’ll actually
Tesla had previously revealed that their business in China suffered a blow after Beijing raised tariffs on imports of U.S vehicles to 40 percent last July. The Asian country, though, has since issued a temporary suspension of the additional 25 percent, reverting to the previous 15 percent cha
They get to talking about how unlike most production EV cars, the Mach-E actually has seven motors – three stacked in the front and four in the back. Concering the motors, while Gittin Jr. claims that "when they go, they’re whining like crazy," they still wanted to create a sound that would help the Mach-E stand out from the pack. The pro drifter confirms two ways they did this: first, teaming up with Harman for the speakers; second, working personally with American rapper T-Pain to develop the sound its
Vehicle handling is an assessment that examines how a wheeled automobile executes conventional routine tasks such as accelerating, braking, and cornering. To figure out how a vehicle handles, the vehicle has to be driven. Alternatively, prospective buyers could read up stats from trusted automobile blogs to make informed decisi
"A lot of people criticize Tesla for being so dependent on incentives. In fact, for a company making EVs, we have the least access to incentives. It's pretty crazy. Because there's so many countries that have put price caps on the EV incentive which differentially affect Tesla. And in China, which is the biggest market for EV's, we've never had any subsidies or tax incentives for vehic
In the video above, Jonny Smith from The Late Brake Show YouTube Channel got an exclusive look at the Mach-E 1400, and even got the privilege of getting a ride with Vaughn Gittin Jr. As much as we all enjoy seeing the footage of Gittin drifting the Mach-E as if he was auditioning for the next gymkhana video , that's not what we are here for today – we're here because we finally get a deeper look into the makings of this amazing car, and the real ideas surrounding the proj
