Volkswagen electric car sales plunge as Europe returns to petrol

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/volks...122915038.html

 

Summer is almost here, and projects at work will be occupying a lot of my time. But I'm going to try and find some time to test drive and review the following cars:

Tesla Model 3 Ludicrous
Hyundai Ioniq 5N
Kia EV9
Polestar 4

I look forward to getting my hands one these vehicles later this year!

 

You'll like the EV9. I test drove one yesterday as part of a follow up from the NYIAS and it's a solid SUV. It was only the GT-Line so it was slow, but the overall package is great. Some of the luxury features like heated/ventilated seats in the 2nd row I am jealous of

 

My brother in law tested the EV9 and loved it, but unfortunately his wife doesn't want an SUV...she wants a minivan to replace their Odyssey, so it looks like the only option is going to be the Sienna

 

ID.buzz

The EV9 is 2 sliding doors away from being a great minivan

 

I'm looking forward to the ID.Buzz. Always loved the original and I think the new one will make for an excellent vehicle for us and the grandchildren.

 

A relative of mine got one of that. He seems quite satisfied with it. Kia is supposedly pretty reliable. Got the most expensive version which was on par with the RX450h+. Not sure whether it was affected by the drop in prices.

Makes for good deals in UK at least.


Did a good enough review of the Fisker Ocean which I enjoyed, although pre-price drop and pre-really bad news. Made me miss Cali.

 

Pricing is going to make or break it. I spent ~20 minutes with it at the auto show and found it very well thought out.

 

It actually looks very compelling (ID.Buzz), but they need a new Minivan like yesterday. I had to pull my Sienna out of closet and dust it down yesterday because I had to go to my brother in laws house and pickup chairs...lots of chairs for a planned dinner at our house on Saturday because his Odyssey now has an engine check light, and is no longer charging the battery (there's a short somewhere). Model Y would have been at least two trips

 

Ah yeah, can't beat the versatility of a minivan.

 

Nope.........

 

Any Tesla owner experience this with their screen? My friend’s M3LR is in service for the 3rd time for the same issue in less than 2 weeks he’s owned it.

 

Which service center?

 

Tesla in DFW. Where he purchased it from. The first time they said he had a screen protector on it but he said he never saw or felt like it had a screen protector. This was after being in service for more than a few hours.

 

I wouldn't leave there without a new screen.
