10:10 The Tesla Model S plaid is claimed to have a range of 520 miles not 300

Great update guys. Like the format. Keep it up!

Model Y. They will be all around Chelsea for sure!

Just found this channel a couple days ago, and my wife and I really enjoy it. We're taking delivery of a Tesla Model Y AWD LR today (we're in the USA), and we're very excited.

One little bit of editor feedback if you want it - work on your sound leveling. This issue appears in almost every video where the audio levels seem to jump up and down quite a bit, which is painful for headphone users. I believe most professional editing programs have the ability to normalize the audio levels across all the different clips, and that would really help make the videos more professional.

Thanks for all you do!

Looking forward to the Nissan Ariya, a relatively affordable EV with brilliant tech, decent range, hands-off autonomous motorway driving ability, all-wheel drive with the E-4orce control and, for me, one of the best dashboard displays of all the EVs I’ve looked at. I can’t stand the displays that look like they’ve been stuck on as an afterthought, and definitely not the EVs that have no HUD or display in front of the driver. The Ariya’s wide display looks like it was designed to be there, plus it appears to have a brilliant HUD. I’m very much hoping it drives as good as it looks, and achieves its stated specs on range and performance. Can’t wait for your review.

Well there wasn’t “Loads” was there? Still concerned about the price of all these - when we get around to binning the Petrol and Diesel a lot of these brand ranges will look sparse or expensive! I’d like to see a lot less of the high end models and a lot more affordable!

My top 5 electric vehicles. Tesla Model Y, Mercedes EQA, , Nissan Arya, Hyundai Tuscon and Kia e Niro

[denischick]

Just subscribed! Great team, great laid back style and super informative. Love my Model 3 but good to see some potential competition coming. Long way to go to catch up though. Cheers all.

Enjoyed listening and your opinions, I have the Ioniq EV it’s fabulous, I started looking at EV’s when they looked like a cube and had 30 mile range LOL, after driving an EV I knew it was the way forward, perhaps this is where I can ask or voice, all the way through developing EV’s it’s always been a comment of how much cheaper they are to produce than ICE cars, so it does worry me how they are suddenly being released at 2x, 3x the price of an economic ICE car! By 2030 will we all be expected to pay £80K for an EV? I know we have this argument for cheaper batteries etc but prices are elevating already not levelling never mind reducing 🤔

[andrewdyson]

I’m looking forward to them being more affordable and I’d like to see a nice estate car. Only MG5 available and I’d like a choice

[anonymouspdg]

As I am the one buying & paying for the car, it's so frustrating that all the mid sized SUV's (I currently drive an XC40) are expensive and dont have brilliant range. I maybe need to downsize but then there are so few options below the Mid sized SUV.
Anywhoo, you mentioned Rivian, check out the Long Way up series on Apple TV with Ewan McGregor. They drive electric Harley Davison's but are supported by two Rivian pick ups. They were prototypes but were amazing.

[robenglish]

Enyaq or the model Y. Have you driven iD4 already? Rivian’s pricing seems bonkers, can’t be right! And they are too large for Europe, they are massive!

[andrewgage]

The electric vehicle I would like is the Smart for two, the reasons, it's compact and fits down the lane where I live so I can park easily, but I won't be getting one any time soon as they aren't capable of coping with my daily commute, instead I have to stick with my diesel model instead as that manages my 70+ mile daily commute, if I were to buy anything larger, I'd have to rely on public charging infrastructure which isn't particularly great in this area

[davethefab]

So how much are insurance companies charge for all these high horsepower vehicles????

[thomaseriksson]

Nice to see all of you!👍 Looking forward to Model Y(SR+) Mack-e long Range RWD/ Mocca-e VS Peugeot e- 2008. Keep it coming, like your channel😋👍

The cupra name comes from a neighborhood from Barcelona and because is electric born = elborn

[edwyncorteen]

The Rivian will not be £55, 000, the "base" version in the USA is $75, 000 with an extra $10, 000 for the big battery 180kW version!

[Dino.]

For me Bollinger B1. I think it will become the electric version of what the Toyota Land Cruiser was.

[quicksilver]

I just took delivery of my model Y 3 weeks ago, however all new electric cars are exciting to me, but if I had to choose I would say the Nissan Aria because it is their new vehicle replacing the tried and true Leaf which had its issues. I own a 2013 Leaf and I can tell you the issues are real as my battery has now been degraded by nearly 30%, which I guess after 7 years is not that bad but that car's range has dropped to 70 miles. Of course I use the Tesla model Y now almost exclusively but the Leaf holds a place in my heart and I am excited to see what the Nissan Aria will be.

Mercedes EQA, I hope you guys get a chance to review that soon after the launch tomorrow.
