Mach-E does a great job in Norwegian Tesla/Porsche Artic Circle race

[EELinneman]

Entertaining and beautiful video here:


The Mach-E does amazing competing in a race against a Tesla and a Porsche. I'll leave the end to your discovery. But it raises a question: what are the best practices with battery conditioning with charging in cold weather. The Tesla seems to have some quirks with non-Superchargers.

PS - Now, I really want to go to Norway! Beautiful, just beautiful.

At the end they said you would have to go to Chris' channel to get more details about the MME.

Referencing the MKBHD video for comparison, the lesson is that the charging infrastructure in the US/North America blows. ? (not a surprise)

Thanks for sharing the vids! Including tracking down the Mustang ones too.

Now, I really want to go to Norway! Beautiful, just beautiful.

Not to take away from Norway at all, but have you been to Alaska? If not, you need to go.

I like how Chris says ABB chargers are sometimes problematic, just like the EA ones in the US!

You're really comparing apples to oranges. You can never compare Norway Finland Sweden any of those countries to the US. Norway is about the size of Montana the 4th biggest state by sq miles. So you got 46 other states plus there population is about equal to south Carolina the 23 most populated state. 2.81 million registered cars in Norway in 2020 compared to 286.9 million in us and in 2021 projected 289.5. so in 1 yr the us gains almost as many total cars Norway has. Yes it's a beautiful country and have heavy EV just really sad when people always claim oh there's so much more advanced and why is our infrastructure not on par with theirs. We have a great infrastructure it aging but also changing. It is also on a much much much bigger scale compared to alot of Countries.

Just was up there in Anchorage to fly fish for Salmon. Gorgeous!

Actually, I think it is a pretty good apples-to-apples comparison given both "races" are similar distances (~1000 mi vs ~1250 mi).

For those that haven't seen it, here's the other video:
