Waymo car doesn't respond to being herded like an animal surprisingly.

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

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

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.
