This is a bit of navel gazing as I've now had my id.4 for just over a month. We've only managed a mere 350 miles. While we've had the car it's been enjoyable. Prior to pickup I had an l2 installed at home, since I live in a fast charger black hole. We had a major issue in the first week, and It spend the entire month of July at the dealer being serviced. It was pretty disappointing. The loaner wasn't the id.4 I purchased, and has really left me concerned about the longevity of this purchase. Any other new EV owners out their learning the ropes? I've yet to take my first big road trip in it because it was broken :(.

No issues with my Subaru Solterra, aside from the disappointing supercharging speed. Not a huge issue for me personally though. I've gone 31k kms so far and I will never buy another gas car.

That last comment I feel, even if I've only gone a short distance.

I drove some hybrids in the city a few years back and now any time I go in my gas car it's so shit. Evs in the city are so far superior it isn't funny.

I have a Mitsubishi Mirage as a second car and it has 75hp. As a gasser it's brutal, but if it was a 75hp EV it would be much more driveable.
