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 :(.

Which do you like driving more? And which do you think is a better / more reliable car?

I was locked in on the id.4 for the price, I ended up getting the car for about 31.5 OTD, for an AWD pro, after 7500/3500/1000 in incentives, so the mach e or other EV's were not really in the conversation. We had looked at the Kona, but it's too small for our use too.
