[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an ID4 and like it. It qualifies for the tax credit which made us pick it over the Ioniq. Model Y just dropped its price again, so maybe something to consider too. But everything about Tesla is a bit misleading. Their Enhanced auto pilot features just comes with the ID 4 and Ioniq. Its a separate $6K for the MY. Also, the 255 mile range in my ID4 is the winter range. Now that the weather is good I get closer to 300miles. So VW under reports range. Tesla on the other hand publishes ranges that nobody has ever seen.

Agree with ID.4 range bits. New owner (three weeks) and getting just over 300 mile so far. Do A LOT of city driving in B mode. Paid MSRP.  Dealer wasn't open to discussion on that. Did get good trade-in. Negotiated 2000$ more than originally offered. BIG plus, eligible for full 7500$ Fed rebate.

[b]Infrastructure (assuming that means high voltage superchargers) issue overblown. Most would only need when traveling long distances. [/b]And frequent use significantly decrease battery life. Alternatively, if infrastructure's referring to grid, not a problem now, but as more EVs appear, can see how it would be.[/quote]

Many people do drive long distances in their car. It’s a concern for many people. [/quote]

We had a Tesla Y and now have an Ioniq 5.

Many long road trips in both. Finding and using superchargers while doing so never a problem.

In 6 years of ownership, used supercharger twice while "home". Level 2 charger in garage is plenty.

As a relatively long term EV owner and at this level of adoption, I think supercharger infrastructure argument is definitely overblown.
