Video Summary

Here's a summary of the YouTube video:

This muscle car is perfect to go electric because it's enormous, powerful, and you want it to go fast in a straight line. However, the execution is not that good.
- The electric version is a massive two-door, four-seater coupe that feels like a sedan.
- It has a 100-kilowatt-hour battery at the bottom and is dual motor, all-wheel drive, 335 horsepower at each axle, and it is rated for 241 miles of range.
- There's a front and rear trunk.
- The starting price is around $60,000 but the optioned version is over $85,000.
- It is massive and bigger than a Tesla Model S.
- The design elements are liked, especially the big front spoiler. It also has big red breaks and drilled brake pads.
- This car is the "World's Loudest Electric Car" because it makes a noise, through the Fratzonic chambered exhaust speaker system, that imitates a gas car at 126 decibels.
- When you start it, it will make a cold start sound, and every time you turn it on, you hear it.
- There is a drive mode selector where you can have it in auto, or sport. In auto mode, the accelerator doesn't do anything but the sport mode is much louder and also has a track mode.
- If all you want is straight-line performance, you could get a Tesla Model 3 performance because they cost less. You could also get a used Tesla Model S Plaid.
- The range is 241 miles but when he plugged it in, it said 201. After sport mode, it said 185. It only charges at 183 kilowatts.
- The center console is pretty massive. It's well-made and it has double-pane glass.

The car is a comfortable cruiser. But the speakers are not that great. The fun factor is there, but still, the gas car is the king of that part. All in all, the car wasn't as good as he thought.
