IMO hybrid is only halfway there. Go full electric and lose the maintenance and gas dependence entirely. Personally I think the MME looks better than EV6 and has a marginally nicer interior.
That said I’m pretty much decided on the Volvo C40. I just have a stronger emotional response to the...
I’m with OP on this. Most of these critical replies are pretty logically stupid. His main argument was about the bad engineering requiring an expensive repair.
The article highlights Tesla's build issues and I know lots of EV's have unreliable infotainment systems (The Volvo one seems especially buggy) but for me reliability lives and dies on powertrain. Software issues can be fixed and even minor electrical problems addressed but battery and motor...
Such a weird thing that all these EV’s from various brands have software crashes and similar issues. My home computer and even cell phone are high tech and rarely if ever crash, and they have all kinds of random software on them.
I test drove an XC40 Recharge (awesome) and the UI crashed. I was...
@FLmac The saleswoman gave me some questionable info, I corrected my post to say that Car Play isn’t available which is a fairly big deal for me too. The X factor is that the XC40 has 4 years of unlimited data and can run Spotify/Maps and other android apps natively so maybe I just wouldn’t need...
Does the GT have a newer infotainment CPU being newer? I’ve heard Kyle from out of spec say the GT felt a lot less laggy than the previous models he drove.
My wife went with me for both drives and felt like the backseats were roughly equivalent but even a couple inches difference can feel like a lot. I have a 1 year old boy and we're gonna have another next year hopefully. Two small boston terriers too for short trips to the dog park. For as long...
I thought I'd share some preliminary thoughts after test driving each of these this weekend. At first (and probably second) glance they're different cars for different buyers but they overlap enough to appeal both to my desire for a peppy EV thats big enough to fit a couple kids and small dogs...
So any issues relating to PAAK or not having two key fobs wouldn't mean too much for me. As long as I can reliably use the car at any time when needed those other issues are just an annoyance at most.
If PAAK fails/is locked in the car, cant you use door combo to get in and then also a passcode on the screen to start? Granted annoying but could this be a solution for not needing a phone or key, or am I missing something?
what would that make it in USD? I know the pounds to dollars conversion with cars is different than with everything else. How much was the launch edition EV6 in the UK?
