Goodbye Lucid

People do seem to love the ID Buzz though. For me, the range is a show stopper, so I've never bothered to test drive one.

You see a lot of them in some parts of the EU, used as small business cargo vehicles instead of trucks.

VW brands have bad software. Id buzz very poor range. Hyundai/Kia brands seem reasonable.

The new software 6.0 is good. Poor range, that is correct.
However ID buzz is more comform than Hyundai ioniq 9, easier to get to the 6th and 7th seat

The new Cayenne EV's software is said to be quite good. But not a 7-seater.

Correct not a 7 seater and not for my wife

Drive is ok as far as friends told me. Range is 390km (240miles) real range

Base Cayenne 113k….30k more expensive than a base Gravity. Porsches are grossly overpriced.

Gravity in Germany is also quite expensive. gross price from my configuration is 150.000 € (170.000 US dollar incl tax)

Yeah I know the difference of course. It's more because we are expecting a 3rd one in December. My wife has an id4 which should be changed to something more equipped . maybe Id buzz, Mercedes vle, skoda peaq, ionic 9 or so
The gravity would be for me but just for fun though
I would not need a new car if we have one big one as 7 seater.

I got my wife a KIA EV9. She loves it

And which car do you take on vacation trips? with 3 kids and luggage there is most likely not enough space in KIA EV9...

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to imply anything but that the driving experience would be different - but of course you already know that! Interesting to preview and discuss all the existing and upcoming EVs, especially when others have access to some that others dont.

Sure the kia ev9 is different from I'd buzz and range also.. Still waiting for the demo drive of those.
And in Germany the xpeng x9 has started. Better charging than gravity even and price range is like gravity touring. Range not ad good. But should have a lot of space.
