Reddit says U.S. BMW iX3 test drives begin on 6/17.

Holy cow, I didn’t believe you until I checked it out myself! Look at that price history graph over the past year.

Don’t do it. It’s way too far. And there are good EVs from others too.

I have and shown the media. But they said if they can’t replicate it in person, they can’t tell if they’ve fixed the issue when they test

Have the same issue, but inconveniently, when I take it to the service center, the issue cannot be replicated… I’m hoping it gets consistently bad enough soon so service can replicate. Oh well

No, it wasn’t covered. Plenty of better reviews out there with actual stats and testing. Carwow is generally clickbait content trying to be legitimatized by a British accent.

Carwow reviews are crap, imo. It doesn’t get into any of the charging capacity or range of the cars

He also said people preferred Rivian in-house audio over Meridian

https://insideevs.com/news/796222/ev-fee-gas-tax-house-bill-2026/ $130 / yr growing to $150 / yr in the bipartisan house bill. It’s nearly twice as much as what gas car owners effectively pay. The U.S. really hates EVs I guess

My take on why Rivian and Lucid are going nowhere: - US all but killed big EV demand by getting rid of the $7500 credit - NEVI funding has been entirely cut now, so no more federally subsidized chargers - Regulatory credits are completely gone too—big part of gross profits for Rivian -...

I hear you on the looks. I’m not saying it doesn’t matter. But for me, it doesn’t matter that much over the iX3’s design, in light of the much better core EV tech one gets. 4.5s 0-60 is also plenty fast for me. Why couldn’t Rivian make the R2 have 800v, with more battery, and charge $5K more?

R2 premium would be comparable to the iX3 40 coming out the same time the R2 premium is.

Cheaper iX3 will also be available next year as well

I guess the explanation is because this is a Rivian forum, but I’m surprised by how many people don’t think the BMW iX3 is the better value at these prices. My iX3 configuration comes out to $68K with destination charges included. My R2 configuration comes out to $61K before destination, so...

$60,990 for Catalina cove and white interior. Seems expensive. Does this include destination charges? This can easily be a $70k purchase all-in, with taxes and destination
