Long Range Dual Motor 3/Ys are everywhere. I'd like to think in a MME GT that I could get up to 35mph quicker than the Teslas.
It could be argued this is just another trim level so all the press excitement was directed at the launch models, however as the GT was known to be a later trim that would appeal to those wanting model Y performance matching spec the lack of press and reviews from the more enthusiast biased media before the model ends up in owners hand is very odd.
It's bewildering. Even the notable Ford personalities on this forum are silent on the GT/GTPE. Maybe one day we'll hear the story of the 2021 Great GT Zipperlips so we can tell our grandkids.
The GTPE will be even with a LR Y if it has the acceleration boost. It'll beat a normal LR Y.
So far it's been great. Obviously it lacks the interior space of the crossovers, but feels very nimble for a 4000 lb sedan the size of a new Honda Civic. In terms of acceleration, 0-30, 0-60 is insane for car under $60k USD. 0-60 in 3.1s, no skill required, just mash the pedal.
While the model Y no doubt plays fast and loose with which conditions it has optimum performance, another date point is the polestar 2 is has a heavy weight 4714 lb that hasn't stripped away the interior and sound deadening, each motor has less power & torque (203hp / 234lb) but unlike the GTPE uses the max combined power and torque for 408hp / 486lbs yet manages to trap faster and pull from 50-70 faster.
Let me I introduce you to PaaK…
100% agree. I’ve actually driven the Polestar 2 at the Austin location. It moves and the model with the Ohlins dampers /Brembos is the one to get. But, the range is very lackluster at 225-230, and, for me at 6’3” the monstrous center console waterfall was actually a dealbreaker. Right leg had nowhere to rest comfortably. No joke.
Potentially it has 562hp if the battery can supply the juice, we get the max torque of 634lb from both motors currently just not the maximum power.
I think you gave up early. But no matter what fix the x plaid will decimate the gtpe so it’s fine in that case. I’m considering a black wing myself because a 6 speed manual v8 sedan sounds sooooo romantic to me right now. The end of an era.
Can fully understand once you get up into the price point of the GTPE people become less forging hope all goes well with the model x plaid, who knows maybe by the time it turns up the GTPE will have finaly reached it full potential.
Let me get this straight. You could've had a Mercedes AMG wagon or Audi rs6 Avant....
