Video Summary
- Car feels high quality. - Torque vectoring is awesome. - Car's actually fun to drive. - Largest EV charging module provider. - Their latest G2 collection features ultra-high power density and efficiency for EV charging and energy storage integration. - Offers a modern extended warranty for your Tesla's battery and more without the burden of long-term contracts or up-front payments. - The largest EV charging manufacturer in the world. - A leader in safety and sustainability. Maximize performance and efficiency with their made-in-USA all-season tires and their dedicated Hakkapeliitta EV winter line from the inventor of the winter tire. - The car is can be had both in full battery electric like these two vehicles here, but also with a combustion powertrain, which is a turbocharged six-cylinder now. - Upcoming is the Grecale Folgore; a video of that will go before this, maybe that'll even go before this. It is not sure the order of basically the Macan EV competitor. - Testing a $200,000 electric convertible to see if Maserati is capable of building a good EV. - Steering feels pretty good. - Big buffer on this battery. It's 92.5-kilowatt hour gross, 83 usable. - I had to accept the warning on the screen in the car. - The power was strong when acceleration is tested. - There is three hundred kilowatt peak DC charging. - The car actually feels great driving it. - There are multiple suspension options. - A chassis that supports both electric and combustion. - A T-arrangement in order to make the battery fit in a combustion chassis. - From a hardware perspective, the chassis supports electric and combustion. - Can go crazy and put a 30,000-dollar color you can send to customize. - Needs to fine-tune some of that low speed stuff, pedal mapping, and overall software is not the best. - It seems there was Porsche Taycan benchmarking. A lot of the data gets similar to the Taycan. - I was test driving on 70% state of charge. - A big take away for this is, a 200k triple digit range car needs no comprises and all it needs is for it to be sorted out. - If this car were to be seen as a weekend blaster, the interior and exterior are what the company has been known for, its design, the build materials were all there, it has to just be tweaked. - A CCS port to accommodate the charger. - The paddle shifters.
The verdict - the driving experience is great. - The infotainment system isn’t great. - A good luxury car that depreciates quickly. - You have to be a Maserati enthusiast.
