Now we just need info on the ID Buzz to make the final decision between all the 6 seaters (EX90, EV9, and Buzz).
Just to keep track of them in my head. Cheapest available configuration for announced/available 7-seater EV SUVs in the US:
- R1S: $78k - 260mi
- EV9: $57k - 230mi
- EX90: $77k - TBD - “Up to 300”
Not including the 7-seater Teslas because even if they’re technically SUVs, they IMO too tiny to matter for anyone who actually cares about regularly filling them with people of any size.
Lucid Gravity too, though unclear yet if the 7-seat config will be under 80K or if that model will have the 440 mile range.
The 440mile Gravity will be the top trim. This is listed in most releases in the fine print. And it is definitely going to be $100K or more
Ah yes let me just reach into my piggy bank to pay for this
Battery size and range?
111kWh ~300miles
I prefer this car, especially with the decent pricing. Idk if I can hold of tho, the lead time is probably still a year out. Maybe a used beater can do in the meantime
This is really a good contender against the R1S.
So now I’m really torn with this and the Lucid Gravity.
Will it have a power tilt & telescoping steering wheel?
I wish they would offer the B&W on the Plus models. I really don’t care for any of the ultra features so I’m Just paying the 5k to open up buying the B&W for an additional 3k.
Otherwise, very excited and happy the prices are much better than what everybody was predicting (saying the loaded model would be closer to 90k)
So the rumors about ventilated seats were true it looks like?
Wow. My wife may hold off on the Tesla Y and get this. Hmm…
I wanted to get this but really need something easier for egress from back seats for small kids. Parking spots are designed for compact cars where I live so sliding doors or model x doors are the only EV options for now. Sucks cuz I love how the interior of the volvos look and feel
Loving the existence of competition in the USUABLE 3 row EV sector, but the EV9 just has it beat for the price. Plus, probably cheaper to insure as well, and with better efficiency.
But not as nice a car.
Ig I’d put more value to that if I spent my life in my car. But I don’t live in my car anymore, so I don’t value being in the car as long as i used to. My commute rarely gets passed 20mi anymore, and my commute is opposite of traffic. So any given day, I’m spending less than an hour in the car, I don’t need it to be that nice, on top of that, I don’t want to get a bunch of sand or mud in a nice, harder to clean interior. IG nice interiors don’t match my lifestyle.
I spend about 40 minutes in my car on the average day. I want it to be a car I love driving, that’s comfortable, and has a good sound system.
Worst EV so far imho. Highway Consumption will be off the chart:
• Weight 2818kg (!) • Cd: 0,29 • Range 600km @ slow WLTP • 107kWh to compensateHeavier than an F150 lightning. That’s one chonky boi.
Is that really something buyers care about? People shop for style, range, creature comforts, and price.
Drag coefficient? Please.
Drag coefficient = range.
Aerodynamics is two thirds of the energy consumption at highway speeds.
