Cool concept. The engine sound is part of the F1 experience and in this case it is a bit underwhelming but it only spins at half the rpm of the car’s original engine, probably so it can last the claimed 3000 km.
I like the idea of a small, nimble and affordable electric sports car. However, part of the Miata’s equation are the slick manual transmission and light weight. Now, we recently saw an electric Mustang with a manual transmission, and while it sounds good in theory, I’m not sure how well that would work in a Miata.
The 300,000 lbs towing capacity that Musk mentioned might not be the same as a 300,000 lbs tow rating. For example a Tundra towed the Space Shuttle which amounted to almost 300,000 lbs:
Thank you!
First ever COTD, thank you!
At 1:08, there is a setting on the Tesla that says “Range mode” and seems to be turned on. Does that affect performance?
All the French cars I’ve had/driven had excellent suspension, they managed to combine ride comfort and handling beautifully.
This is great, if it also has some towing capacity for a small-ish trailer say up to 2000-2500 lbs, I’d seriously consider buying it but it probably won’t be sold in the US.
It is important to remember what the head goon of the police union said at the time of the incident, when the “official” narrative was that 5 “hero” cops were injured by drug dealers while serving a warrant, and notice his not-so-veiled threat:
His channel is gold, a breath of fresh air in the youtube landscape that is full of clickbait channels like streetspeed, Vehicle Virgins, EE and others. You can see how passionate Davide is about cars and their history.
