Review: Getting Sideways In A RWD Tesla Model 3 Test Drive

Thanks to its advanced impact protection, the Tesla Model 3 got a stellar score of five stars in crash-test safety ratings. As it doesn’t have an engine at the front, the empty aluminum and steel at the front of the car draw the shock of a crash. Also, it received top marks in several other safety areas, such as its roof strength and driver-assistance sys

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

«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

Aside from changing the shifter out for a dial shifter and gauges for ones more EV specific, the interior remains relatively unchanged. Also unlike what you would expect with an EV swap, the trunk space of this Miata remains untouched, all 4.4 cubic feet of it. It even still has room for the factory spare t

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 game money guide|https://Evinsightzone.com/ 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

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

Originally, he was dead-set on something bigger, probably used, with a bit of power under the hood (years ago, Ryan owned a 1990s 4Runner and loved everything about it except the weak engine). The first-place option on his growing list of potentials has typically been a Porsche Cayenne—probably a V8, hopefully a GTS, or, at the very least, an S. But he’s also pondered the Macan… and a 1980s Mercedes-Benz diesel station wagon… and a mid-2000s Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG wagon… and on and

Did you know that the Tesla Model 3 was an insanely fast car? It can zip from 0 to 60 miles per hour in only 3.2 seconds, making it almost as fast as a Ferrari 488GTB. It comes equipped with a carbon fiber spoiler, which makes the car more stable when driving quickly — and it looks kinda styl

We’ve spoken about how quickly the Model 3’s battery recharges, but did you know that it has a total range of 310 miles? This means that if you are organized and plan your trips smartly, you can simply charge it at home, without having the need to go anywhere else. Thank you, E

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

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

Just to get the hypercar performance numbers out of the way, Lucid claims the top-spec Air will have over 1,000 horsepower, all-wheel drive, a minuscule 0.21 coefficient of drag, and that it can achieve a top speed of over 200 miles per hour in production form. All with an estimated industry-best range of 517 mi

In advance of the Lucid Air’s planned 2021 deliveries, I recently spoke with VP of Design Derek Jenkins about designing a four-door hypercar EV, as well as the future of a startup that toes the line between emergent and establis

While we loitered in the open-aired showroom waiting for our car being readied, one salesperson joked he’d only let us test drive the Model 3 without supervision if we promised to floor it. «Don’t worry, we will,» Ryan assured
