New - GREAT so far!
WOW - love having an electric car with 342 miles of range. Super easy to keep charged. Can do long road trips, no prob. Drives quiet and smooth. Handles great. There are just a couple of small design issues, like the charging port door and the recessed pockets in the doors.
It's lightning fast, even in "ECO" mode. I just leave it in that. Can't imagine what sport mode would be needed for other than outrunning a Bond villain in Rome.
The real test of an automobile is time. We will see how it holds up over time.
There are a lot of automated features. Several that don't need to be which is probably so they can make money replacing them when they break. The door to the charging port is about 7" diameter and is on a motor. That could have just been a simple spring and a catch. If/when that breaks there will be no way to charge the car so it will need to be repaired right away to continue using the car. That same charging port has a low valley in it that collects dirt/rain/leaves when I leave the car plugged in overnight.
The door have a recessed channel that acts as a handle and a pocket. They taper to a narrow point at both ends and are awkwardly hard to clean as a result. Definitely not a deal-breaker but something that perhaps could be improved.
If you get one - definitely do your research about extending battery life. Keep it between 50-75% charge as much as possible. Minimize fast charging. Avoid charging when very hot/cold. Never drain all the way and only fill to 100% when absolutely necessary. It has plenty of range so there's rarely a need. I drive all over the county in a day and can recharge with the Level 1 (110v) charger most of the time. Great performance!
