I love it but I wish it would stop trying to outsmart me.
Super tight, quiet, comfortable car. I really love it on so many aspects. Charging at home is amazingly convenient and my initial range anxiety has proven to be a non issue. Love the car!
Yet...
In their attempt to automate things and build in interlocks to make it safe, they have made it impossible for me to control the car in a smart manner.
-stop locking the doors! If I want them locked, I'll lock them!
-I often drive the 100 meters from my house to my barn. No need for seatbelts here. Yet the car will lock the parking brake on until I buckle up. RIDICULOUS. It also locks the doors while it is at it. I am going to my barn to load things yet I have to go the extra step of unlocking. JUST LET ME HAVE CONTROL!
-Utility mode is way too hard to implement. We have a small dog who stays in the car while we go about our business. It makes perfect sense to turn on utility mode with air conditioning then lock the car while we do our thing. Yet starting utility mode disables the fob from locking or unlocking the car. This is silly and difficult. I have to use the physical key to lock and unlock the car. It makes no sense to disable the fob! If the software is so smart, it ought to have one touch "Dog Mode" (like the Tesla does).
-The ability to use the car's battery to supply AC power to external devices is great. It allows me to use the car as a 1500 watt backup generator. Yet the car absolutely will not allow me to take it below 20% battery. Again, stop with the control! I understand the risk. If I want to set that value a little lower, let me.
Again, overall the car gets high marks. Just stop it with the philosophy of the car not allowing me to do what I want with it.
