| I’d like to replace my subaru outback (which was totaled) with an EV. It’s the only car we’ll have, 3 tall people (so sight lines are important). I don’t want anything bigger than an outback (it actually felt a little too big sometimes). Anyone love their EV family car? |

Tesla.
Why risk other crappy charging networks, issues with range in cold climates, etc.? Tesla is so far ahead of everyone else. They are eligible for tax credits too. |
| I love our id4! |
| Ditto above; Tesla for charging network. If you can charge at home/overnight & don't need to supercharge, MachE. |
|
A lot of cars will be using Tesla charging network very soon.
Not a big fan of the tesla cars. Look at BMW, Volvo, VW. I bet BMW and VW will be compatible soon. But it also really doesn’t matter, there are plenty of non-Tesla DC charging stations on highways for long trips. And around town you’ll just charge at home. |
+1. Given the speed of charging, Tesla really is the only reasonable option if you plan to ever take a road trip. Get the long range model. |
+2. The Model Y probably meets your needs. It also feels amazing to drive. |
| We are ready to dump our Tesla and are leaning towards the id4 and volvo xc40. |
| looking at the mini electric |
This is just not true (source: I have a non-Tesla EV that we've taken on many road trips). Plenty of reasons to buy a Tesla if you want one, but we don't need to invent them. |
Exactly. Except I’m not sold on the “plenty of reasons” - range is a good reason - but there are a lot of reasons not to buy them… such as, they’re ugly |
| We love our Polestar 2. |
| I like my Nissan Ariya. |
| Thanks for all the feedback! |
NP tell me more. Also interested in the Fisker Ocean. |
