The 17-inch center screen is crisp, but our test unit crashed twice (once while navigating, once adjusting climate). Wireless Android Auto/CarPlay is present, but the native MTRJM OS is laggy when waking from deep sleep. A promised OTA update should fix this, but first impressions matter.
Rated at 380 miles (EPA), the Transporter 5 uses a 100 kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) pack. In real-world mixed driving (70% highway, 30% city), we saw 340 miles. 800V architecture means 10-80% at a 350kW charger takes exactly 19 minutes.
You’re an enthusiast who values speed and tech over luxury and you live near smooth roads. Wait for the 2026.5 update if: You want a refined daily driver or live in a pothole-riddled city. transporter 5 mtrjm
MTRJM has done the hard part—building a fast, long-range, affordable EV. Now they just need to soften the edges. Literally.
Want to change wiper speed or defrost the rear window? Dive into a sub-menu. The steering wheel haptic touchpads are oversensitive—we accidentally changed radio stations three times during a single turn. Tesla made this mistake years ago; MTRJM should know better. The Verdict The MTRJM Transporter 5 is a bargain-bin supercar slayer with a few first-gen headaches. For $50k, you get hypercar acceleration, solid range, and a genuinely futuristic cabin. But you also get a brittle ride, some software jank, and UI frustration. The 17-inch center screen is crisp, but our

MTRJM’s interior is minimalist but not cheap. The star is the holographic augmented reality HUD —navigation arrows literally paint the road ahead. The "chill" mode (single pedal, soft suspension, silent cabin) vs. "Vortex" mode (stiff chassis, aggressive regen, synthetic warp-drive audio) completely transforms the car. What Doesn’t 1. Ride Quality is Harsh Vortex mode is track-only stiff, but even in "Comfort," the Transporter 5 crashes over potholes. The 21-inch wheels and low-profile tires look amazing but punish your spine on broken pavement. For daily driving, you’ll learn to dodge manhole covers. Rated at 380 miles (EPA), the Transporter 5
MTRJM, known for their disruptive "no-dealer, no-BS" approach, has just dropped their most ambitious vehicle yet: the . Billed as an "everyday exotic," this electric sedan aims to blend four-door practicality with supercar theatrics. After a week behind the wheel, here’s the verdict. What Works 1. Absurd Acceleration for the Price The dual-motor AWD setup delivers 650 horsepower and 740 lb-ft of torque. MTRJM claims 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds. We clocked 3.1 on a damp road. That’s ludicrous for a $50k car. The instant torque doesn’t just push you into the seat—it rearranges your internal organs.
