EV
100kwh battery

I didn’t drive it. Lease $2500 down $495/month. I “started” it and was welcomed with the fake rev that comes from the interior speakers and apparently there’s a speaker outside of the car.

I knew it was an EV, I was just wondering if you test drove it. If I went down to a dealership and sat in a car, I would have at least test drove it. When I had a 2020 Ioniq EV and took it in for "service" (basically free tire rotation ), I went and test drove a Veloster R while I was waiting.

Most reviewers weren't very impressed, so you probably didn't miss anything

I’ve gotten lower than that in a rental Tesla. I guess I’m just as bad with EVs and I am with gas vehicles 🪫🫣


My friend has always been afraid to test the real true range of his Model 3 and Y. I keep telling him let’s swap vehicles and I will find out for him.

I've gotten down to 9 percent. That would probably be my limit
