<title>Three New Vehicles with Poor Moose Test Results</title>
<link>https://www.autoevolution.com/news/three-new-vehicles-with-poor-moose-test-results-140070.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Car safety institutions usually test a car&rsquo;s ability to withstand several types of impacts (and how well passengers are protected), as well as how good the car&rsquo;s electronics are at keeping it from having a crash in the first place.

They don&rsquo;t, however, test the car&rsquo;s cornering stability, or if they do, they don&rsquo;t really do it thoroughly. The moose (or elk) test is not usually performed out...

Now while our opinions on how great the Cybertruck really is are split, what&rsquo;s clear is that it has really caused a stir. So much so that people have fashioned all sorts of vehicles that look like it, some closer to the real thing than others.

<description><![CDATA[Most mainstream manufacturers now offer or are in the process of launching an all-electric vehicle. It&rsquo;s a segment that&rsquo;s expanding quickly, and even though not all automakers are as into the idea, they have developed EVs just because rivals are offering them too.

<description><![CDATA[The fact that the Tesla Model 3 is one of the most fun to drive electric cars currently available is no secret, and since it can be had with rear-wheel drive, there&rsquo;s one extra thing it should also be good at.

Yes, you&rsquo;ve guessed it (or you just read the title) we are referring to drifting.
