TEN 289 - POLESTAR 2, TAYCAN SMASHES EPA RATING, FORD COBRA JET DRAG EV

EV Channels Review

The Polestar 2 enters the US market with a starting price of $59,900 before incentives. While positioned as a premium offering, it is priced below some market expectations and is more expensive than the Tesla Model 3. However, the reviewer suggests it will appeal to buyers seeking a more premium feel outside the Tesla ecosystem. The video also highlights the Porsche Taycan 4S exceeding its EPA range rating, with journalists achieving over 300 miles in real-world tests, suggesting Porsche may have conservatively quoted the EPA figures. Audi's e-tron is also discussed for its fast charging capabilities, claiming a full charge in 45 minutes compared to a competitor's 90 minutes. Other news includes updates on Tesla's Model S and X performance with 'cheetah stance' software, Lucid Air's winter testing, and delays for the Ford Mustang Mach-E. The segment touches on the volatile oil market, the shutdown of GM's Maven car-sharing service, and various EV battery and production updates.
