Uploaded 11 months ago by Out of Spec Reviews

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.
