Which SUV/CUV would to move to from Mach E?

[Efrain]

Does it come in 2 row configuration? I don't need more rows, I need more cargo space.

Yes they have a two row configuratio.

It would probably be an Audi Q8 Etron out of what is currently available. it's not a car that is gonna win on paper but it drives really nice and has a very good charging curve. I would also consider an electrified Genisus GV70

If we are looking at future vehicles the Porsche Macan EV looks nice

The e trim is the only thing out that I would even consider and I wouldn’t give up my GTPE for it. I want trade until something I like is at least 500 mile range. Not likely before 25 or 26.

Porsche Macan, if they don’t equip with the unnecessary 2 speed transmission.

Two speed trans probably gives the tycan a hole shot

I don't think most people are willing to pay for that kind of range. For me charging speed is far more important.

Think about it if you had the same reange as the MME and it took 8 minutes to charge who should care about range.

The other component is easily finding chargers that are available and/or functioning.
It's going to be a while before charging will catch up to filling up with gas on both fronts: speed and availability of chargers.

Hence the switch to a Tesla plug and network. Smart decision Ford

We just bought this “TUV”…

Note before you say how on earth can that thing be an anythingUV, compared to her Miata that this cute little thing is replacing, it’s highly utilitarian!

When you open the doors, do clowns come pouring out?

No, only MME Forum members

I saw the US introduction of the ID.Buzz from VW, the new VW Bus. If they had done the front end properly with the “V” two tone paint….. I’d be very interested.

Agreed. Not so much the plug, due to adapters, but accessing the network is big.
There are some superchargers near me and they are almost always full, though. It will be interesting to see how much the added traffic affects the availability. Tesla seems to be better than the other charging companies (EVGo, ElectrifyAmerica, etc.) about adding and maintaining chargers.

Rivian R1S - SUV or R1T - truck. Perforce is great. 830 hp, 0-60 3.0 sec

I would. The drive to Panama City Beach is 325 miles. I could mage it to the beach in my BMW X6 and still have 25 miles left before I needed to fill up. If you have been to the Gulf coast there is very few charging stations in the Panhandle of Florida. An 8 minute fill-up doesn’t mean much if you have to drive 50 miles out of your way to find a charger.

YMMV, owning an ev I have come to realize that rated range is probably at 55mph. I don't drive that slow, and no way I could go 5 hours+ without taking a food or bathroom break. Time your break with a charge and your good to go
