Beans Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 not excited...not sure why, just seems flat. Too smooth with that minimal grill opening and weird hood dip in the front. If you told me this was the new Nissan I wouldn't be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 The orange 4-dr is the only one that looks good to me. Those two doors just look sort of...blah. Especially the silver one. Maybe in person they'll be better. Â Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ford MachE GT is under 5000lb, and the Mach E Premium is only 4800lb. That's 1000lb lighter. The Tesla Model S Plaid is roughly 1000lb lighter, at about 4750lb Heck, my F-150 Lightning is only 800lb heavier. Extra weight makes any vehicle slower, use more fuel/charge, and makes it handle worse. There's no reason why this car should be that heavy.  It's a moot point though, as most people looking to buy a Dodge will go for the gas engine.   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Interesting comparison. Â So it's basically the same size as Bo and Luke's Charger, but almost 2000lb heavier. Â And the last time and American manufacturer built a 2 door this big? 1987. And this new Charger is much heavier than that car. Â I think it will be a good car, I'm just having trouble wrapping my brain around what Stellantis is thinking with this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize that all that weight is just the batteries right those things are super heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 At this point, they should just bring back the land yacht. Lots of room for batteries, no driveshaft tunnel, so you can really do the living room on wheels, and nobody wants it to make noise anyhow.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if it's an engine, a battery pack, or whatever. It's all a part of the car and makes it ridiculously heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
