Yes, I want to buy the slower long range version. Want to experience it. Fast EVs I had for years, with frequent charging stops. Like last 2 weeks ago, when the hotel did have a charger, but not a "free" supercharger for my MS90D junk, so I went out in the night to find one - for added...

That makes me even more curious, how a 7.3s EV drives. :) The 6.9s EQE (Made in China) I test drove recently, was not bad either. I did test drive the 3.8s and it's brute force, something I had for years and never really use, anyway. I want to buy the big battery thing, because that really is...

That's why we like the German Autobahn. Fully engaging driving experience, no shirt comes off, only the hair.

"perfect match for the Chinese market". Exactly my thoughts, when I saw it...

Still, it's a lot different to the new Q8. Considering, that the consumption actually is, what I pay at the charger, not what the car reports (like T junk fake), I wonder how efficient the EQS really is?

However, as one YT said, the efficiency of the EQS comes in when you drive above 140 at the Autobahn. It's also strange how much more energy it sucks from the charger... Efficiency is not only based on Cd values... If the Zeekr 001 with 140kWh battery and 0.23 Cd, sold now in China, comes to...

My money in terms of range is the new Polestar 3 with 111kWh battery, and in China of course the now available Zeekr 001 with 1000km range.

That is why I went for a test drive to check out the self driving features. They are really good! Sitting in the car for a few hours and letting it drive long distance on the highway is not an issue. If you then not even have to charge on a 6 hours highway drive, than a stinky bus ride might...

That's my guess, too. No. "The Qilin batteries are based on CATL’s third-generation CTP technology. With a record-breaking volume utilization efficiency of 72% and an energy density of up to 255 Wh/kg, it achieves the highest system integration level worldwide so far, capable of delivering a...

If the Volvo/Polestar factory in Wuhan can do it in a slightly raised coupe/hatchback, than Porsche could do it in an even bigger SUV. They just don't have the supplier needed. They also might not be interested in deepening their dependency on China. It's here! It's a lifestyle car for...

Haven't thought about that! The problem in this case is, that the actual car I test drive tomorrow is not that great looking on the outside, so one for now might be enough! :blush: I lean towards the long range version, because this would be the high tech version of the future. I am just...

Let’s imagine the new Macan EV comes out in 2 versions: 3.8s 0 to 60, 100 kWh battery for 650 km (400 miles) range, 56200 USD 7.3s 0 to 60, 140 kWh battery for 1030 km (635 miles) range, 59500 USD Which one would you buy? Background: It has been 7 weeks since my Taycan 4S+ went into the shop...

Very good sum up. I hope the EQE SUV will be even better.

Maybe, this is the new EV platform for the new 3 series starting 2025. If they could actually build it like this... https://www.autozeitung.de/bmw-3er-elektro-2022-preis-reichweite-199568.html?image=1

An ICE! :puke: I just test drove the new i3: Looks like a regular 3 series, but this is the L (long?) version. Adaptive headlights with automatic high beam control. Solid cover for fast DC charging back right. Same for AC charging front left. My golf bag fits easily. Space slightly...

The strange thing is, that the latest model, i3, only for the Chinese market has ZERO bling and "regular" external design. Everything out of Germany however is full of ugly bling and front, with the excuse that they design it for the Chinese market...

In China Mercedes with EQs had massive price drops. Hard for them to compete with the Chinese brands, who understand the Chinese consumer much better. The software and other tech they offer in the car is so behind now... In China we went from 5% to 30% of EVs on the road in the past 5 years...

ID Buzz is also too big. My neighbor got an all black BMW iX7. Big SUV but just way to ugly on the front. My money on the next EV is either on the EQE SUV or Audi new Q8 etron. Need to see both and test drive. There is more choice now and therefore no automatic purchase like in 2019 with the...

So you mean we have a new baseline for junk? :CWL:

Dumb guy, lucky a couple of times. He will not be the first rich guy on paper ending up broke in prison. Check out thunderf00t on YT...
