Happy you liked the time to drive the Taycan on the central coast. I’ve got it on a 8000 mile road trip now. Performing great and charging network is not trouble free but has not let me down. Love your videos ❤
IIRC, Ultium is 400V, but for charging the large packs, they split the pack and put the halves in series to allow 800V charging. It will be interesting to see how that works with the Tesla SuperChargers. Also, more complex means more to go wrong.
Thanks for the video. I like seeing what EVs are available. The pacing was good. It is also great you divided up the video. It looks like a great auto show to attend. I have only attended auto shows in Boston and Philly. I first saw the Mach-E under glass at the Boston show. You can do a charge day video on the bZ4X. :) I have not even tried the fake engine noise on my Mach-E. I like the quiet. The Polestar reminded me of the old Batman TV series where they labeled everything. One of the great things about a BEV is you can drive them indoors! My MME is Rapid Red. I would not get a car without Android Auto support either. The Hummer looks very interesting with the removable parts. I wonder if it is a good off road vehicle. It is great that other BEV trucks are becoming available.
Take a try with the MME sound and report back. I turned mine on and found that it almost urges you to drive faster because it feels like as it gets louder you expect it to change gears and so you’re chasing that change which in effect produces the need to go faster. For me at least. Otherwise for example at highways speeds and if you’re staying in it long then it can get drone inducing but otherwise I’ve now found myself leaving it on all the time.
@@iamdaviddoliver I may try it. I do like the slight whine when going slowly that modulates with speed (Pedestrian Warning?). It sounds like a turbine whine and I like it better.
@@ericcottrell8913 Yeah I get some motor whine from mine as well. Always liked that. I should say that I’m using mine in Unbridled mode. I do think the sounds may be different in other modes. That motor whine should still be there though. Combined with the V8-ish sound from Unbridled you get somewhat of a supercharged feeling
I love all electric cars especially Mercedes electric car! I can’t drive because of my cerebral palsy, so I’m gonna get my all electric Mercedes G wagon and let other people drive it for me
You’re a fool. *gm’s* new infotainment UX is amongst the best in the industry. The Chevrolet Blazer EV’s infotainment system is so advanced and ahead of Ford’s that they’re able to rid their vehicles of Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, something Ford can’t wait to do. Believe me when I say *gm* doesn’t care because you’ll be back.
It's cool to see so much interest in the Hummer EV on the test track and that they brought the SUV and Pickup there. If you're interested in a deeper dive on both, I had the chance to check them both out and driive them recently and compare them side by side. th-cam.com/video/IsxgK5KziHQ/w-d-xo.html
I will forever remember the ipace from jaguar. The first show I ever took my Mach E to, there was a local Jaguar dealer there with a ipace and 2 employees. Towards the end of the day I over heard the lady ask her coworker “I thought we were going to have the only ipace here?” Her coworker told her they were and she adamantly asked her coworker “then what about the red one here?” While pointing at my Mach e. Her coworker had to tell her “*name*, that’s a FORD, not a Jaguar!” I almost fell out my chair laughing so hard. Even a Jaguar employee couldn’t tell the difference. 😂
5:51 best part of the show 😂😉 I was expecting more from Detroit! Amazing that Nissan didn't have anything... like what?!! LOL I watched the whole vid, and I'm shocked to compare Denver show I went to in April. They still keeping people out of the Chevy Equinox ! Tesla and Rivian were not at the Denver show, very disappointing!! LOL but y'all have a great video here, and I will do better on my next round of when ever I get to go to the Denver Auto Show!! I 💜EVs!!
Hahaha glad you laughed at that too! Ya hopefully both Detroit and Denver will keep getting bigger. It’s just so good to have all these vehicles accessible in one place! - Liv
I wonder if the industry is still recovering. I first saw the MME at the New England Auto Show in Boston back in January 2020. I wondered why I did not hear about later shows. It turns out 2021 was cancelled due to COVID-19 and both 2022 and 2023 were cancelled due to lack of inventory. They expect to be back in January 2024.
5:16 It looks like in November 2023 you be able to order the new version of the e500 or is it the 500e - not sure if they be available from Q4 2023 or Q1 2024 in the USA. It is a total redesign of the car and battery from the ground up.
Liv's comments about lack of smaller ("petite") EVs and 200 miles of range being deficient are interesting. Over time the Big Three domestic manufacturers surrendered the production of smaller cars to Japan and then Korea, with Europe still having some offerings. We all know where Toyota, Honda, etc. are on electrification. The smaller Korean EVs (Kona, Soul, Ionic, Niro) were like compliance cars. Leaving the Leaf, Bolt, and Mini essentially, with I3 gone, Leaf fading, and Bolt getting bigger. So who can we look towards to fill that space in the US?
Whoa…! You're in Detroit? I assume you didn't drive there! Will all the 2024 Mach-Es have that refreshed "nose"? My wife would covet that Fiat 500e. That iX would be so much more appealing if it had "kidneys" like my wife's Z3. I wonder if the show is a bit "dampened" by the UAW strike…? What's cool is that they can have those test rides inside… since EVs don't have tailpipes! Y'know… with the Lightning, the R1T, the Silverado EV, the Hummer EV, the RAM EV soon to all be in the market, I have a hard time imagining that long-time traditional truck owners would go for the CyberTruck. Thanks for the exposé!
@@MachE_VLOG The crappy batteries that last only 800 charge cycles, but are permanently integrated into the frame of the vehicle, meaning the car could never outlast the battery. It's planned obsolescence, which, to me, is the opposite of sustainability. I can't wait for an EV with a removable solid state battery. I will be first in line. Edit: batteries should also be standardized, so once ive invested in one, I can move it to a different car, or if I want to upgrade to a better aftermarket one, I can.
@@SibzelChebst EVs have way more charge cycles than that Ave the warranties are 100,000 miles. They are not integrated into the car and can be replaced if necessary. In fact, Ford batteries are modular so even partial replacements are possible.
You can get in many vehicles if they are already for sale. So cars like the Blazer or even the Rally version of the Mach-E are locked. But you can get in lots of other cars like the regular version of the Mach-E, EV6, Lyric, etc.
Ram Rev is a joke compared to what they revealed with the concept. They’ve really been exposed when you compare it and the Lightning to the Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra/GMC Hummer PU trucks that are all on their bespoke EV truck platform.
Looks like a very boring auto show. No fun and excitement as it used to be back in the 90’s. No future or concept cars, some manufacturers missing from the show all together.
Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤
That Grabber Yellow is about as intense as Race Red. It looks like a mad Yellow Jacket
It's really beautiful in person! - Liv
Thank you for the great vid!
I like the back lit letters in the grill of the RAM Rev
Welcome to Detroit!
Great video!
Scary
We had a great time!

I haven't heard the term Beaver Teeth before (only Kidney) but I think you're spot on for that description of the front fascia of the new BMW iX EV.
I like this video

If only Rivian could fix that fugly front headlight situation and get a few more service centers around, they might be worth considering.
I canceled my Chevy Blazer RS order due to the removal of CarPlay and let Chevy and my dealership know. I purchased my Mach E from your insights.

I enjoyed this video a lot soo cool. I wish the EV pricing would drop down they are kinda pricy
The other year Monro Live went to the GM and other stands and found zero EVs being shown but China corporations come with a lot of cars

Volvo EX30 is going to be a big seller, I predict. Small and premium.
White wheels on rally don’t pop. Reminds me of a AMC Gremlin 😂
If you have followed some of Ford's Rally teams, the white wheels are very similar to those.
Dodge has been showing the Banshee since at least this Spring.
Int Sierra Denizli EV, The Silverado EV and Lightning Black Edition nd the Ralley MachE. I also loved the Corvette ERay, but want it all electric!
Yeah! The E-Ray is so cool but an all electric E-Ray would be awesome!!
Great. They are losing 10k plus per vehicle. 🤡👍
Great video. The new wheels on the Mach E are a great improvement. The grabber yellow is amazing.
The wheels seem to be controversial. Some love them and some hate them.
They all look good, but I will never buy an e-vehicle
You'll still have lots of non-EV choices for quite a long time.

E V = A V Anxiety Vehicle
Why do you say that? No anxiety here.
I have been driving an EV for over 10 years, when will the anxiety kick in? lol
Do you actually know any owner with "AV" or are you simply projecting your own?
