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

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

"Peter from day one had this philosophy that we could get a lot more space inside the car relative to its external footprint," Jenkins recounted. "We were taking the position that all modern sedans on the road are really defined by their ICE packagi

"Obviously, the big focus is launching Air," he replied. "Getting it into production, making sure all our stores are open, making sure our online digital platform for customer experiences is bulletproof and working well. We’re trying to give our customers the best possible online experience and the best possible ownership experien

The point Gittin Jr. and many EV enthusiasts are trying to get across is that you can have the best of both worlds, and in a hobby like motorsport, if there is fun to be had in a new post from Evinsightzone.com way, you should enjoy it instead of rejecting it. Nobody is saying to get rid of your 3,000hp twin turbo Viper , they're simply saying to think about also owning an

It was straight to the drawing board for Jenkins, though at that point, Lucid wasn’t even Lucid and the Air wasn’t the Air. "It was Atieva," Jenkins explained. "It was a sedan concept that Peter had in his mind. And we basically started from scratch there and really defined the vehicle, the layout, the target customer, the market position, the product attributes, where our strengths were going to l

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

Electric vehicle technology isn’t new but the general adoption of the technology is new, therefore, most people buying EVs are first time buyers. As such, the uncertainties are enormous, as customers have no real clue of what they’re venturing i

Mustang has a cult following and it’s not hard to understand why. Currently, it is Ford’s most successful nameplate and has been produced as pony and muscle cars. Mustang was introduced in 1965 and it’s now in its sixth generat

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

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

From a stats perspective, the fact that Polestar intended its first EV to take on the Model 3 and Model Y becomes immediately clear. Where the Polestar 1 fits more into the hybrid-supercar-grand tourer umbrella , the new-for-2021 Polestar 2 is a full-electric, dual-motor sedan with a starting price of $61,200. That sticker price buys power output of 408 horses and 487 lb-ft of torque routed to all four wheels, with an EPA-estimated range of 233 miles and a WLTP estimate of 292 miles. Unlike most Throttle House vids, though, this one doesn't feature a drag race, which the Tesla would probably

"We really approached it like the components are miniaturized, we pushed them away from the occupants, maximized interior space. That became an immediate opportunity. And then keeping the outside compact, agile, and sporty so it’s still like a sport sedan on the outside, full-sized luxury on the inside, with hypercar performance—and the cargo capacity of an SUV. So you have this really unique combination of attributes that doesn’t exist in the marketplace tod
