What do you want to know about the Ocean? I am a reservation holder and they have good info on the Ocean forum, DM if you want more info. You'd be looking at 2023 summer at the earliest my guess if you reserve one now. Best spec for an EV SUV for the price hands down!
I suggest putting her in one. There are a couple of high end malls reasonably near me that have Tesla stores. Hopefully you have one near you. I would never buy a Tesla Model 3 because I don't want to look sideways to see how fast I am driving and I want actual, physical buttons for things I need to adjust while driving. I expect that your wife will be similarly turned off. Then put her in an Ioniq 5 and let her see the difference.She is easy. She just like everyone has Tesla, why don’t we get Tesla too. It’s good for environment, Elon is doing good for mankind.
I own a M3P MY and when I realized I would wait another year for my touring purchased a EV6 GT in the interim. I actually love the minimalist look of the teslas and having driven them exclusively for 5 years, moving into the Kia was a bit of a shock. That being said, while it is not as fast as my M3P, or even my MY, it is by all measured a much more refined car. The software is a bit funky in certain areas, but since I use CarPlay, really nothing of any significance. I can't throw it around corners like the M3P, but is outshines the MY. And it is very spacious. Not quite as much storage with the real seats up as my MY, but with seats down it is quite cavernous. The fit and finish of the car is impeccable -- in contrast with my Tesla's, both which I had to take to a detailer to deal with small, but annoying problems with the paint. While not cheap, 60K for the GT-line, it is substantially less expensive that the MY. So, as an interim buy until you can get your Air and Lucid sorts out issues, I think the EV6 would be a great option. That being said, the Lyriq will hit the dealers soon. It promises to be a great option, albeit at a higher price point.
