Sorry for the delay on the posting of this one but what a trip! The iX still leaves the impression of incredible comfort, sound system, driver assistance, range / effeciency, and more. The charging infrastructure, well, even after some of the new units going in I’m not sure we are much better off than 12 weeks ago here

[@brandenflasch]

I’d say we’re in about the same spot or maybe even worse 😬

[@davidbailey6112]

I just got the new 11-22 software update from BMW. All sorts f improvements, including new ambient lighting options, better battery pre-conditioning and for those with the correct infrastructure Parking Assistance Professional, which gives you the ability to do pre-programmed parking recordings and remote parking assistance to get your car out of those tight parking spaces.

[@subbiahpalani]

The new chargers cables seem to have really poor QC, I’ve seen the exact cable release not latching about 4 station and one of which seems to fail every 2 weeks. The failing part is a $3 part for locking.

[@brandonpeterson40]

The front end is beautiful and futuristic. The self healing material is amazing and makes so much sense for rock chips. People just aren't ready for the futuristic design yet. I believe this grill will age well and the car will continue to look modern even 10 years from now. My main gripe about the iX is that I wish there was a button on the steering wheel to toggle on/off the B mode (regenerative braking).

[@thumper1747]

Hey Brandon, I’m with you and like the new front end, it just took a while and the rest of the car is also great. BMW have continued with an experimental mindset I feel, pushing the envelope having done such an amazing job with the i3. I’m about to buy my wife a 42 kWh version and when I sell my little enterprise in a few years time (I’m 64), I think I’ll buy myself an iX. I reckon it will drop in value very fast due to peoples dislike of the front end and that’ll just make it cheaper to buy secondhand. Lastly, the vertical kidney grill is a throwback to the 1920s and 30s. Cheers Geoff

[@tonydoc903]

Can’t believe how calm you are, I’ve seen a lot of people super stressed out about waiting to charge. In the UK it’s probably going to take at least 30 years before the network is up to scratch 😆😖. Great video.🙌

[@andreassauerbrei]

Great video as always, Kyle. Your real life EV experiences are very helpful and I can confirm your experiences with the charging infrastructure. EA seems to get worse with every road trip. When I picked up my Taycan Cross Turismo in fall 2021 and drove it from the LA dealership back home in the Seattle area, the biggest issue was that maybe 1 of 4 or 2 of 6 EV chargers at a particular station wouldn’t work. During my recent thanksgiving trip to the San Francisco Bay Area, it often had only one or two working chargers per station and twice the entire station was dead, which forced me to go backwards to reach a 50 kWh charger just to make it. The entire trip was along major highways (mostly I-5). This really comprises the otherwise positive experience with the amazing Taycan and needs to be fixed. Hopefully more fast charging offerings will come soon, as I don’t feel EA will fix their problems unless there is stronger competition.

[@thumper1747]

Hey Kyle, I’m in the U.K. so your shows hold no practical benefits for me, but I really love these long journeys and listening to your experiences and comments. Looking forward to hearing more from your CES attendance too. Many thanks Geoff

I’m really hoping EA comes through with better chargers. I have only been in a situation with them once in Jackson TN. Fortunately I have family there and was able to trickle charge and I knew there were some level 2 chargers…not ideal but it worked out. Also I have the IX 50 and it’s a beast when it comes to range. I love it

The problem with EA is that the only reason they exist is a punishment for VW. Nothing pushes them to make it better or upgrade or continue to add chargers.

I want to compliment you and your videos. Very positive and cheerful despite migraines, I can’t imagine… and your travel music is pleasant. I’ve ordered a Bolt after watching many videos. Since you’ve test driven them all are any worth twice the price? What I want is reasonable comfort with long term reliability. I plan 99% driving around town. Looks like you’re in NJ my home state but now I’m in NC. I plan to use the GM 240 installation so I can keep it charged up at home and occasionally drive to Charlotte 100 miles away and hope to charge up at the Hyatt hotel to minimize range anxiety. Keep up the good work!

I was told that B mode and regen in general is not good for efficiency and long road trips. But is great when using in city.

[@tomhoots]

Some very interesting bits in this video. The Tesla driver in Cedar City is absolutely "a look into the future of EV ownership" -- how many times have you watched other folks in any grocery store or other store, and noticed how many people truly have trouble operating the payment terminals? How long have we had those -- 20 years, now? And if people still have trouble every time they use those terminals, it will wind being so much worse when they wind up driving electric vehicles. Then at the Las Vegas Outlets -- "Just when will someone build an EV charging station with actual management for vehicles waiting in line?" Without any kind of line management, you KNOW that there will be people who will jump into the next spot that opens up, going ahead of cars that have been waiting far longer. "And then the fist-fights will start happening." Whatever, but it boils down to how "your charging experience" will become far less about how fast your car or how fast the charger can get the job done -- it will be about "the behavior of human beings at those chargers," while you wait in line to even get to a charger. Yes, expect people to charge to 100%. Yes, expect people to walk away and leave their vehicles there for hours. And so on. Of course, we see that now -- I just expect that we'll see far more of it as electric vehicle ownership becomes "mainstream." So, will a time come when we will have "EV charging station attendants?" There will always be some sense of "you don't have to spend more money for infrastructure, if you can simply use the existing infrastructure more efficiently."

[@JayThompson-lc5nf]

I enjoyed this very much. I do the Vega - San Diego (Carlsbad) 2 times a month and always stop at Baker both ways. There always seems to be one charge that doesn't work, but so many never a problem (except when CA had power problems - only one had power and charge limited to 20 minutes). It was interesting your power consumption from Baker-San Diego (I have an iX50, 22" wheels) and best was 3.4 kW/Mi (cruse set at 75MPH, perfect day), normal is 3.0. About half the time I have a Tesla drive come up and ask about iX. Have had 3 Tesla's, first one of first S and agree the quality has so much better-do miss Supper Chargers.

[@andyschmidt7413]

Interesting stats for the Baker charging sessions, you started with 7% and went to 75% state of charge adding roughly 83kWh. If my math checks out, it would be 68% that you added 68%=83 then 100%=122kWh. BMW lists the battery size with 111.5kWh. Either there was a huge loss in power delivery, EA calculated it wrong or BMW has a bigger battery than advertised.

I wonder if lifting the cable during the handshake would help get charging going? Seems to help on some European ccs handles since communication is on the top and might have a bad connection when the cable pulls on it.

I test drove an i50 and liked it. I like the 4 wheel steering. A Chevy Bolt probably would have gotten 3.5 miles per kilowatt if it hade been 75 degrees--having driven one for three years. I love the iX but it sounds like one will spend more on charging it--even at level 2 in one's own garage.

[@jobroooo]

Nice video as always! You should go to a good chiropractor if you hadn't already and talk about your migraine, it's quite common a neck related problem, made a world in difference for me, rarely have it nowadays. ;-)

[@JoshuaParks]

I’m unclear on why there isn’t more outrage toward the charging infrastructure and the companies that make these ‘stations’ - if I’d just paid $120k for a car and couldn’t charge it immediately because 50% of the chargers aren’t working, I’d be more than a little upset. Non Teslas are great for around town when you can home charge. Still, Kyle you are more honest about it, but too many of the car KZbinrs don’t built in enough of a difference to the Tesla charging infrastructure - with the recent price drops I finally ditched my two ordered cars and am getting a Model Y (this month or early next after ordering this week). Videos like this are making me very, very happy with that decision. You just don’t hear about this with Teslas making them much more functional (and therefore fun/rewarding to drive). $120k and you can’t charge it or have to wait for the driver in front to finish? Come on!

[@Wingman77tws]

@@mowcowbell yes right up to that oil change or when maintenance costs go up due to the costs of maintaining an engine. If you really need to road trip with a fuel car it's better to just hire one.

[@mowcowbell]

@@darmou Your use of 'hire a car' indicates you are in Europe. You can't apply European maintenance costs to the US. I do once a year oil changes that cost $35. Gasoline costs $2.55/gallon in my area. Hardly an expense to be overly concerned about. The ability to completely avoid the chances of being unable to charge on the road well exceeds that.

Well at least you were charging even if it was only at 95kW at Grand Junction, better than having none of the chargers working there. This is interesting as Tritium is also having issues with their hardware the most reliable Tritium units are the 50kW Veefil units but even they are not great. One of our local charging providers has started to put in Kempower units from Finland, have yet to use one but looking forward to trying it out.

@Kyle Love the music. Can you post any information relating to it?

[@radioman321]

I’ve got a fun game… EA and other charging companies send techs in electric vehicles (I know many do already), but here’s the kicker… they fast charge the vehicle to have just enough power to get there so it make sure the tech can’t leave until it’s fixed so they can charge lol…. I’m sure that’s somehow illegal, but you’d have a lot more happy customers.

Hi Kyle. A question from a EU-viewer. How much better is charging in California vs the rest of the US. Would be interesting to see that kind of video. Don't know if you already have one? We often make the Norway vs. the rest of Europe comparison. Is it comparable? Cheers

[@ricardomunguia1]

Hi, southern california resident here. EA is really unreliable, but theres a bunch of other brands that do help making it more reliable. Theres charging stations EVERYWHERE. Doesn’t matter where you are going, you’ll find charging stations. Compared to other parts of the us, chargers are mostly found in urban areas. And every now and then on connecting highways in between states. But definitely the ratio of chargers TO CARS is insane here in california compared to other states. Take into account that the amount of electric cars in california is way larger than the rest of the US.

[@CascadeDuSel]

Anecdotally the entire western region of the US is way better than the rest of the US - Ca - oregon, washington, colorado, etc …. After that it gets less reliable. Florida has very few non Tesla stations at all

[@gcburkett]

So what would one do if you got somewhere with not enough range to the next charger and this current charger is not working. If there are no level 2 chargers are you going to beg someone for a level 1 plug. Are there any videos of getting stuck on your road trips?

All you need is a Tesla account. This makes the chargers simpler, because no payment terminals needed and the handshake is easier too.

Curious why EA (and others) don’t seem to have some sort of remote telemetry and automated self diagnostics? If they have an automated system checking the status and available output on a regular schedule that reports back to a central command center, they could dispatch repair teams faster when needed. Or, does something like this already exist….but they just don’t do it right.

58 miles to the st George supercharger. If cedar city was down the Tesla mapping software would show zero available at cedar City. You would then plan accordingly. No need to use a non Tesla charger in this case.

@@thomaswilson2917 I don’t know what to tell you, just what I actually experienced. These people had to cancel their trip to Zion because of it.

[@thomaswilson2917]

@@ericroe I have been to Zion national park many times. They must of been coming from the north. I usually come from the south to go to Zion thru st George. It is 53 miles from cedar city to st George. 47 miles from st George to the visitor center. 59 miles from cedar city to the visitor center. I don't know their exact situation but it appears they gould of gone to cedar city then to Zion. More driving but doable. If he went to a non Tesla charger he must be a new EV driver Now you can purchase an adapter to use charge s Tesla at a CCS1 charger. They are in the $200 range. I have one since I travel a lot. Never had to use it though.

[@thomaswilson2917]

99.96 percent is not 100 percent but close enough to be almost bulletproof. Much much better than the alternative charging systems.

[@markcuttler]

Your channel is just superb. But please, take a microfibre cloth with you and clean your windscreen on every charge. 🙏🏻

Taste is subjective. I actually like the looks of this car; front-end included. Lol These charging stations should have things like window cleaning equipment and tire air?
