Mine too…
Dear Colt, it’s a bit of a negative jump to conclude I’m disappointed in the car because I have some concerns, Im obviously am not in that I ordered the car, I’m a car lover, to me cars are modern kinetic sculptures. Beautiful and complex, I’m glad to hear you think 75% is to low, I’ve read many owners get around this number with out conscious effort to squeeze out more, what range are you getting in “normal “ everyday driving?
That basement-blogger trying to pose as a legitimate news site is really the worst of the worst. Basically the automotive version of Infowars.
I average 4.2 mi/kWH for my everyday driving, or about 91% of epa. I am on 19” wheels just to clarify!
Same here. We recently took a 335 mile trip in the IX and had 10% left upon arrival.
Same here. I drive in sprint mode 75 % of the time, blast the music, crank the AC and still have not come close losing 25% efficiency. The reason I ride it hard and put it away wet is because I can. Any other EV would have virtually unusable range on a long trip driving it this way.
I concur and that is why I test drove the IX. But, alas, even with my cataract surgery the IX is simply too butt ugly. And I am a serial BMW driver.
I want to love the iX so much. My fiancé needs an SUV and I currently have one of the first build slots from Boardwalk Lotus for an Eletre but I love new cars so have been looking at all available SUVs. Not a fan of the R1S, the iX is perfect in every facet except those damn beaver teeth. The EQS isn’t bad, range on the 580 is just too low for me, no on a Model X, just waiting on the Gravity to see pricing and specs. May just move ahead with the Eletre and if we like the Gravity more when it comes around, sell the Eletre. I do wish the BMW design team would tone it down so I could like the iX more though..My backup to the Lucid in case anything goes wrong with Lucid is the Cadillac Lyriq AWD. Have you considered that (availability will be an issue however)?
Great point, and yes the availability of it holds me back. Love the look of it though!
I am actually intrigued by the polestar 3, I’ll be watching that premier this week!
hahahaha yes! but, We are into month three of ownership and we learned to approach the car from the back and or the sides. Wife keeps making fun of it as well, but although we have a choice of three cars, she always jumps in the IX for long trips. Smooth, quiet and very efficient. Unlike our early 5 series hybrid that spent more time in the shop than on the road, the IX is also bullet proof.
Same here. I’m very curious of the look. Knowing Polestar 2, I’m going to assume it’s small cabin 5 seaters SUV.
Pretty sure it's supposed to be a mid size SUV, being built on the same platform as the EX90 (which is the electric equivalent of the XC90, which has 6-7 seats depending on configuration). The Polestar 4 is supposed to be the compact SUV, followed by the 5 (high end sedan based on the Precept concept) and 6 (convertible).
This is interesting. I know these Polestar 3 will be built in USA and thus qualified for Fed Tax credit. Leveraging from Volvo experience, processes and parts, Polestars can build and deliver cars way faster than Lucid, Rivian and Tesla. But I’m very bias in design, except the center console, Lucid has the best overall cabin design over any EV models out there.
I love hearing this, very reassuring, no one really needs 500 miles of range unless you’re on a serious road trip so all I want is a good reliable 400 for 25 driving it in a spirited way and it sounds like I’ll get that. I appreciate your information.
I know this is a little off topic, but I love the IX. It’s smooth quiet powerful enough extremely luxurious inside and I think Bmw did a great job with this car. oh, and let’s not forget the bowers and Wilkins top optional stereo is the finest stereo system I’ve ever heard in any car, and I’ve had a lot of really high-end cars to choose from. Great audio, not good but great audio is very exciting to me and this is the best system I’ve ever heard on any luxury car.
Then you’re gonna love the lucid.
