The important dimension with SUVs that is always left out from the specifications list is what is the length from the back of the front seats to the rear hatch with the second and third row seats (if present) folded down. This determines what you can actually put in the vehicle. Saying it has X number of cubic feet is pretty meaningless since it that is influenced by how tall the roof is. When I went shopping for my last SUV I went from dealership to dealership with a tape measure and crossed off any model that wouldn’t fit what I routinely carry. If Kia thinks millennials “live in their cars” I would think they would want to know if they can actually lay down in the back.

I have just the opposite problem. We have a J1772 level 2 charger at home, as well as I installed one at my mother's house so we could charge when we go visit her. My work has J1772 Level 2 chargers that we can charge on for free. It was great with my existing Chevy Volt PHEV. We just ordered a Model Y, and get delivery later this week. Now we will have to use an adapter to charge our Model Y because I am not replacing the chargers at mine and my mother's home, and my work is not changing theirs. Probably have to buy an extra adapter, so I can keep one in the car and one on the home charger.

I suspect it will be too expensive to successfully compete against the Model Y because of the NMC battery. Puting in a front consol is a styling mistake. Consumers have come to like the open space and flat floor between the driver and passenger. The boxy styling is fine because it makes the vehicle more utilitarian for transporting square objects.

The EV6 used to be a long wait here in the US as well. The dealers were throwing on $5000-10,000 market adjustments to the price. That is why I walked away from buying one. Then the US tax credit kicked in and they are having a much harder time selling them. Dealers usually have at least a dozen of them on the lots. I see them now for about $7500 under MSRP, trying to make up for not getting the $7500 tax credit. Since this time last year, the price on them has dropped by $15K+. But even with that drop, my Model Y that I pick up later this week was still cheaper.

While I think a lot of people will find its looks attractive (and its good given its shape), its not my thing. I'm not a fan of the look of a "boxy" crossover personally but often they are practical vehicles (as "people carriers" are). The base level of the Model Y, at least here in NZ is priced pretty well and I would be surprised if the EV5 base model ends up cheaper here (certainly the Ioniq 5 is more expensive that the model Y here currently). Its a bit disappointing the base model is using a ternary battery too (as the likes of LFP effectively adds daily range due to always charging to 100% - not to mention potentially extended battery life and better stability). Also you don't get the Tesla Supercharger network. So, while I welcome all new EV models, I'm not seeing it as a game changer with what we know currently.

Finally pulled the trigger on a Model Y LR. My daughter will begin driving in about 3 years, so I figure that we will drive the Model Y, and then after she gets her license, she can have the Model Y to drive, and we will look for a new car then for us, and the selection and tech should be much better then. Not sure how these would qualify for the rebate if you leased them. As far as I know, it either qualifies or it does not. Leasing or buying does not matter. I think the reason for the rebate when leasing one that qualifies helps those that do not have a tax burden of at least $7500. So, they can lease it, and the lease company gets the rebate, and they have a tax burden of at least $7500. They take the credit and pass it on to the leasee.

I can believe the bit about millienials, but mostly just the younger late 20's millenials still living with their parents. Homes are becoming more and more out of reach for them. So they'll take more trips and vacations to get out of the house. In my area, 5 years ago, as long as you made about $70k a year you could buy a house. But now, you need 2 marrie professionals making over $110k combined to buy a house.

KIa has a long way to go to get it right with engineering. Looking at the sheet metal and the seats is not the way to evaluate an EV. Let Monroe take it apart and see just how many failure points it has. Nope this is not the future

Thanks for the video Sam. I'm sticking with Tesla for now. The Tesla charging network is unmatched and makes driving a pleasure. Another factor is purchasing a vehicle from a stealership...No thanks.

No thanks. Even it’s a LFP in Malaysia only Tesla are reasonable price direct to customers. The rest of the brand over priced by distributors and that’s awaiting graveyard strategy

Sleeping in your car has its value given the unavailability of housing in the United States. Most people don’t know that Elon Musk slept in his rented office when he first got his start in Silicon Valley. Sam - keep up the great work. Skol Vikings!

Why is every manufacturer chasing range? Range isn’t the issue. Not being able to reliably add another few hundred miles like an ICE is.

How many miles do most people drive every day, most weeks per year, most years? If you happen to drive 500 miles in a day, stopping for bathroom, food or charging for 20 or 30 minutes is a welcome break for most people, especially as you get older. You start off with a 100% charge from home, drive 200 or 300 miles, then charge to 80% during a break and then stop for the night and charge again. Is it unreasonable to take one meal, bathroom break or leg stretch in 8 hours of driving? How about two stops in 8 hours of driving? Most Americans work 50 weeks per year. They're not taking 3,000 mile road trips on a regular basis. It's faster, easier and more productive to fly long distances for a destination vacation, or business. That's why airports are always full of people. And if you want to take a long road trip and spend many days of driving, you can always rent a spacious SUV or any other ICE vehicle of your choice and drive electric the rest of the year. Do you really enjoy weekly gas station visits that much? Twice a year oil changes? Expensive gas? With an EV, it's also pretty nice to get into a warm vehicle sitting in your closed garage at home. Or, programming your vehicle to warm up at a particular time in the morning while it sits outside in winter melting away ice from the windows, all while you're still sleeping before waking up for work.

The only people that will get one are people who want to lease. Nobody wants to give up 7500 out of 40000

You can buy out the lease immediately and still get about 5k less

These things are crazy expensive, only people living VERY well with a lot of disposable income are looking at these. Why can't they make something smaller and cheaper for the masses? For perspective, you can get a STi Modole WRX for ~2 thirds the price of this overpriced SUV.
