I think I could live with the relatively low range given my real-world daily use and commute, but the major hurdle is the price (and also when considering the aforementioned range). I agree too - manufacturers, bring back some real buttons for many standard operations!

Most reviewers criticize the infotainment and the need to constantly touch the display to toggle everything possible. But that's a complete misunderstanding of this car. There's a Google Assistant built into this car and it handles everything. Just say Hey Google or press the appropriate button on the steering wheel and you can dictate your requests.

Hey Google, turn on single-pedal driving.
Hey Google, raise the temperature two degrees.
Hey Google, set it to 21 degrees Celsius for the driver and 23 for the passenger.
Hey Google, set off-road mode.
Hey Google, I'm warm.
Hey Google, start my jazz playlist on YouTube Music
Hey Google, set the fan speed to level 3.
Hey Google, guide me to the nearest Ionity charger.
Hey Google, tell me a joke.
Hey Google, start the steering wheel heating on level 2.
Hey Google, thanks for your service.

And so on.

I have 3 EV's and the battery percentage was the number one thing I use when ever I am driving those cars, very much like a fuel gauge, how many gas cars are giving you miles left and no gas gauge, not many I suspect?

It even looks cheaply made with cheaper materials, corner cutting and a lot more.

I wouldn't drive an electric vehicle if it was the only one on the planet

What a weak concept. You can drive a whole whopping 200 miles in this 50K vehicle. What a joke! If that's the case think about the maker. They must be an even bigger joke!
