it looks great and the giant batteries for long range are great but after watching the review i'm a bit concerned of the insane complexity of the midgate and tailgate. and of course it ain't cheap. he did mention big price drops for '26 so those '25 buyers must not be too happy.

i had to go read the article after this comment and have to agree... that was pathetic, and i suspect 'written' and summarized (with endless repetition) by an AI bot.

The kia and hyundai ev though everyone knows, top of the legacy game.

The midgate was done 25 years ago by Chevy. Shouldn't be a problem. The tailgate is just hinges making it have multi functions. Don't really see what complexity is there. Only drawback is how expensive it might be to replace the tailgate.

After almost 3 months since their 1st email, I finally got the adapter. Nice to have but I don't really see myself using it.

It's absolutely nice to have it! Mine has let me do long Bay Area to San Diego trips without any concern about charger availability. I'm sure they would have probably been fine if you had to rely on other networks, but you never know.

mine will apparently arrive in november/december which is ludicrous but doesn’t matter as i have an a2z one already.

the one from genesis for the gv60 though arrived this week. very sturdy adapter i must say.

that’s the chevy brightdrop.

https://www.chevrolet.com/commercial/brightdrop

and cool rv’s based on them.

however, the brightdrop seems to have basically ZERO sound insulation and the cabin is super noisy.
