Video Summary
The reviewer believes the Dodge Charger Daytona EV, as a "muscle car", is a sham and a joke. The car is too heavy and can be beaten by cheaper Tesla models or Hyundai EVs in a quarter mile. He was not invited to experience the Dodge Charger Daytona EV at the Radford Racing School because he has shown no mercy on Dodge in previous videos. It would have been difficult to be respectful while experiencing the car, given his long-held strong opinions. The YouTuber doesn’t find the EV exciting. He said the car might be fun for about five minutes. Dodge is launching the Charger as an RT or Scat Pack. This is blasphemous.The Youtubers who reviewed this car were taken to a beautiful hotel and given a ride from the airport to the hotel in a company rep driven Grand Wagoneer. They were given a beautiful presentation from Dodge reps.
Given their treatment as respected guests, the reviewers were likely holding back their opinions and being polite and respectful to their hosts, while still being transparent and honest, to some extent. The YouTuber feels that he wouldn't be able to participate as one of these respectful guests and would likely be more blunt in his reviews. To add more horsepower, kits must be purchased on later models to upgrade a base model to Stage 1 or Stage 2 performance.
The reviewer feels the car is simply okay at a ridiculously overinflated price.
The car is not that exciting. It is not blistering and face-numbing fast.
