Carscoopes reports: Aside from its impressive straight-line acceleration, the Polestar 2 is also able to wow customers with its practicality, such as the easy access rear luggage compartment or the braked towing capacity of 1,500 kg (3,306 lbs). This, according to the automaker, makes the ‘2’ a leader in the compact electric segment, as far as towing capacity is concerned. As for pricing, the optional electric folding tow bar will set you back 1,100 euros ($1,222) in Germany. Pricing in Belgium and the Netherlands is the same as in Germany, while Swedish and Norwegian buyers will have to spend SEK…
So folks…embrace for impact! Yes the time of fake car noise has come and this is how the Porsche Taycan sounds when you launch it from 0 to 100 km/h: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvhWCTf2PEg Actually, it doens’t sound bad at all because it doesn’t try to sound like a petrol engine. Star Wars here we come 🙂
For the crazy people out there that think 3,4 sec accelartion isn’t enough get ready to spend an extra $2,000. Tesla will soon launch a new „Acceleration Boost“ option for the Dual Motor Model 3. A simple software update will do it. But there is yet no info about how faster the car will do the 100km/h sprint. via Elektrek
Granted: This is a boring car! Still it’s one of those cars like the Tesla 3 that could bring the masses to embrace electric cars. If you are considering one you may check out these “prebookers” questions answered by VW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6avUXezHqY0

Chris Harris was hosted by TheSmokingTire and talked about the new Porsche Taycan. From inute 20:50 he talks about the new Porsche Taycan and states that this is indeed a game changin car. Mainly because it’s the first car that prooves that electric cars can be fun. He also said he would rather buy the Taycan 4S than the Turbo S because he recons it’s probably too fast for public roads 🙂 https://youtu.be/hMjjQo5Yoic?t=1251
One is a a very good battery on wheels and the other one a sportscar 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F28i1D1OJ5o
It will take 12 more months before Audi will release the new E-Tron GT car. It will be basically be a more civilized version of the Porsche Taycan 🙂 Which means: A bit less power, a bit more comfort and a bit less expensive. But Audi is already pushing out some E-Tron GT ads well ahead of time. This one is their latest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elAuri-fUNY
