Performances, Luxury, Style, All In One Electric Car / 2017 Tesla Model S P90D

Many cars including BMW i3, the Nissan LEAF and similar can commute at least 100 kilometers per charge in perfect driving conditions. However, the Tesla Model S Sedan andModel X SUV top that by far and these two vehicles can reach a gas-free commuting level of 437 km and in some cases even more. The new Chevrolet Bolt will be a bitter rival toTesla as soon as it hits the market.

Tesla has presented Model 3 Concept this summer and already hundreds of thousands of people have pre-order it. More people consider that an electric car is a great way to get rid of gas pumps. Although the Model 3 hasn’t reached the production line yet, the interest to buy this car has gone through the roof. But, is investing a large amount of money going to pay off eventually? Will the Model 3 live up to the expectations? We will have to wait and see. Meanwhile, the Tesla Model S has been put to the test.

How does it behave on the road?

Top of the range Tesla Model S takes only 2.6 seconds in a 0 to 100km/h run. Just for comparison, the Lamborghini Aventador SV has the same result. What is specific for electric motors is that they can cater full power right away, and do all that without being too loud.

 

The price

The Model S P90D costs $132,000 without any additional options, so yes, the car is expensive. The car that was tested had many upgrades and optional equipment, and its price was stunning $197,500. The cheapest trim – the Model S 60 comes at $75,000 which is still a lot of money for average people. Is it profitable in the long term? We used a CAA Electric Vehicle Cost Calculator, and if you drive Model S P90D for 20,000 km, you will spend $1,024 per year. To get a general idea, we compared Model S to a Honda Civic for which you would have to set aside about $1,870 for fuel on a yearly basis. But can these two really compare?

Charging the car

The car comes with the adapters that will allow you to charge your vehicle at home. They use a standard 110-volt outlet, but that takes too much time to recharge. For example, if the battery on P90D is completely depleted, you will have to wait more than 82 hours for it to go back to full. Even after you drive only 80km it takes more than 15 hours to recharge it.

Hopefully, there will be more of these stations in the future. The simplest way would be to install a 240-volt outlet which is efficient, and your battery would be full in less than eight hours.

Chevy Bolt could spark a revolution

Chevy Bolt could spark a revolution

 Chevrolet’s new Bolt electric car.

Not only is it going to have even better range than anyone expected, it’s actually fun to drive, as I found out this week when I tested a pre-production model. It’s no Tesla Model S, but that’s not bad, because it costs tens of thousands of dollars less.

Indeed, the Bolt looks like it will be the first practical EV, offering not only an affordable price, but enough range to meet most everyone’s day-to-day needs. What’s more, the car, which is due out later this year, has the chance to spark the industry, luring more people into electric vehicles while spurring manufacturers to make better ones.

“This is a good thing for the EV movement,” said Gabriel Shenhar, a Consumer Reports program manager who focuses on electric vehicles

Chevy shocked the car industry earlier this week when it announced the Environmental Protection Agency has estimated the Bolt will have a range of 238 miles on a full charge. The company had said it was planning to hit a 200-mile target, but few expected the car would go as far as the EPA says it will.

The Bolt appears to have gotten the jump on Tesla. The Palo Alto electric car maker sparked lots of excitement and garnered hundreds of thousands of reservations when it unveiled its upcoming Model 3 earlier this year. With a 215-mile range and a $35,000 price tag, that car had been poised to be the first practical electric car for the masses. But it’s not due out until next year.

After test driving the Bolt, I doubt Tesla fans will regret waiting another year for the Model 3, because the Bolt lacks some of the Model 3’s expected pizzazz. But if you’re interested in an affordable all-electric vehicle, and you want one sooner rather than later, the Bolt is easily the best on the market right now.

Its range alone puts it over the top, of course. Electric vehicles have had to contend with potential customers’ range anxiety issues for years now. Those fears tend to be overblown, because most people won’t exhaust the batteries of even the shortest-range electric cars on a daily basis.

But their curtailed range does limit how users can drive electric cars and requires them to do more planning than they would with a gasoline car. It can be more difficult for EVs to accommodate unexpected errands or an impulse trip to the countryside.

The Bolt helps to relieve the anxiety and better accommodate unexpected trips. A 238-mile range will get you from San Jose to South Lake Tahoe with a few miles to spare; it’s more than enough for the daily commuting and errand running done by the vast majority of people.

But the Bolt is attractive for more than just it range. For one thing, it’s a zippy car. Chevy says it will go from 0 to 60 in about 7 seconds. That’s not sports-car fast, but it’s plenty peppy. It’s also quiet and nimble.

Chevy is packing the Bolt with many of its latest electronics and technological advancements. It’s got a 14-inch infotainment center display and is compatible with both Android Auto and Apple’s CarPlay. It has a built-in LTE antenna, which owners can use to create a mobile hotspot for tablets and phones. Owners will also have the option to add several semiautonomous features to the Bolt, including lane-keeping assistance technology and automatic braking.

Cyberpunk 2077: Bigger But Still Faster

the time CD Projekt Red needed to complete The Witcher 3, it was estimated that the game would probably only arrive in 2018 since this new Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be a lot bigger than The Witcher 3

Although the game is bigger, they should take less time to complete the game. The developer did say that working on The Witcher 3 taught them a lot about how to create huge game. They also said in an interview recently that they have more people working on Cyberpunk 2077 now than they had when the Witcher 3 development was at its peak.


There is not a whole lot of information about Cyberpunk 2077 now so all we can do is wait until more details arrive.

Witcher / Poland honors /by putting Geralt on a Stamp

Witcher / Poland honors /by putting Geralt on a Stamp

The Witcher — books, video games, other media — is a source of great pride in Poland, and for good reason. So when word passed that Poland was issuing a stamp paying homage to The Witcher, with the implacable glare of Geralt staring at thousands of bill-payers and card-openers, my first thought was "They didn't already?"

The news passed on Thursday over Twitter from the lead designer on Gwent. And yes, this is a Poctza Polska stamp — the state postal service — not some collectible made by a private company like the Polish version of the Franklin Mint. This postage is valid for the mail. It will be printed in a limited run; postal services make money on collectibles, too.
