I know Ford hasn't been known for their problem-less rollouts recently but I don't recall hearing Mach-e's and Lightnings bricking themselves nor having non-functional systems within the vehicle. There's a price to pay to being the first and there's a price to pay for a company not completing the vehicle. The above issues with the Hummer shouldn't happen, period. I don't think people spending 100-150k on a vehicle should be considered test dummies, just because they're early adaptors.

There are a lot of EQB's within 100 miles of me but I see zero EQS SUV's within all of Autotrader's reach. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=656795677&allListingType=all-cars&makeCodeList=MB&city=Highland&state=IL&zip=62249&location=&requestId=2281868035&searchRadius=50&seriesCodeList=EQB_CLASS%2CEQS_CLASS&marketExtension=include&isNewSearch=false&showAccelerateBanner=false&sortBy=relevance&numRecords=25&dma=&referrer=%2Fcars-for-sale%2Fall-cars%2Fmercedes-benz%2Fhighland-il-62249%3FrequestId%3D2281868035%26dma%3D%26searchRadius%3D50%26seriesCodeList%3DEQB_CLASS%2CEQS_CLASS%26location%3D%26marketExtension%3Dinclude%26isNewSearch%3Dfalse%26showAccelerateBanner%3Dfalse%26sortBy%3Drelevance%26numRecords%3D25&clickType=listing This is the closest MB dealer to me. If you go to Autotrader, I see plenty in the Seattle area at dealerships. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=657524199&allListingType=all-cars&makeCodeList=MB&seriesCodeList=EQB_CLASS&city=Seattle&state=WA&zip=98101&location=&searchRadius=100&marketExtension=include&isNewSearch=false&showAccelerateBanner=false&sortBy=relevance&numRecords=25&requestId=EQS_CLASS&dma=&referrer=%2Fcars-for-sale%2Fall-cars%2Fmercedes-benz%2Feqb-class%2Fseattle-wa-98101%3Fdma%3D%26searchRadius%3D100%26location%3D%26marketExtension%3Dinclude%26isNewSearch%3Dfalse%26showAccelerateBanner%3Dfalse%26sortBy%3Drelevance%26numRecords%3D25%26requestId%3DEQS_CLASS&clickType=listing

It's just unfortunate how they look. I'm a Merc fan but I'd skip right over their lot if I wanted an EV. They're just the worst things to look at. Didn't they JUST start production of them a handful of months ago? I assume production wasn't up to 100% capacity, like everything that's brand new. I think a full year's worth of production would be a much better comparison.

FYI, this is two different Hummers with differing issues. The one that had interior issues and air ride issues is GM's and they said it had just under or just over 2000 miles on it. The other one is theirs with 150 miles on it. That's a good way to piss customers off and push them away from EVs for awhile until it becomes proven technology. Your flagship vehicle shouldn't be bricking itself brand new.

It isn't like GM's EV rollout has been any smoother, Bolt and Hummer issues. Oh i completely agree with you here. I'm just saying that Tesla has still been crushing it. Without a doubt, I believe their sales will stumble once there are 30-50 other EV options available. But, right now, they clearly are the winners with their infrastructure. Every single review I've watched of non-Teslas complain about the charging network and how piss-poor the systems are compared to the simplicity of Tesla's.

Seems to be some quality issues with the Hummer EV.
-
I feel like that's because they didn't just make them quirky just to be quirky. For the most part, they look like regular small SUVs. I don't think GM is exactly doing the same with Chevy EVs. Silverado vs Silverado EV and Equinox vs Equinox EV, you can clearly tell the EV version is quite different. I completely disagree that they're taking the same approach as Audi. The Blazer is different, too, but their "grille" area was given a little more of a "conventional" approach...just by blacking it out.

I actually didn't know what it was when I saw a Polestar2 at my local Walmart a few months ago. I saw it and wondered, "this looks pretty sharp, what the hell is it?!" I had to go a little googling because it gave off Volvo vibes and sure enough, it was a Polestar2. It's pretty dang good looking car but seems way overpriced for what you get.

And yet, nobody showed me how it is MORE convenient to RENT an EV than an ICE vehicle. Drew showed me how it wasn't bad to do, and I knew that. The hill I will die on is that in 2023(when the order will start to be fulfilled), it will still not be as convenient to rent an EV than it will be to rent a comparable ICE vehicle. Yup, and the 4 drew showed me are about as slow as they get from a 220 plug, 6-13kw, if I remember correctly. Nice and ironic of you, you called me idiotic within this same post. You can't just say you're being civil and that automatically makes you civil.

David talks to me like two people having a conversation and will post legitimate information with links. You, do not. David and I were talking about the same exact thing you and I were yet you were just calling me names because you didn't agree with me. Okay, if you want to name call because our opinions are the same, don't expect to be treated the same way as somebody who talks respectfully and is informative.

I really don't hate the styling and I'm sure there will be non-gold versions to actually buy so that's not really an issue to me. The gold doesn't do much for me but just assuming that will not be on every single one of these sold, it doesn't bother me. I can look past that.

I think it looks better than their gargantuan grille versions of everything else...

I don't actively shop against Chinese made things, unless its a very large purchase, like this. If I happen to notice something is Chinese made, I'll try and avoid it, but I won't go overly out of my way to do so.

Ahhhh thank you for the information. That's a bummer.
-
Is the Polestar made in China? If so, I never realized this.
-
It's super convenient that there are three chargers there and at the rates of those chargers, you'd have to leave it there your whole trip to get home, 6-13kw chargers.
-
If it works out perfectly that you want to eat next to a charger, that's absolutely perfect.
-
Because there's nothing more that I want to do on my vacation or work trip than spend time at a Nissan dealership (or any car dealership but Nissan is the worst) charging my car. You can't honestly tell me that it is equally or more convenient to rent an EV than it would be to rent a comparable ICE vehicle.
-
To be honest, I don't think anybody was talking about road-tripping..
