Now this is one "offroad adjacent" feature we dig on, living in an area with a lot of flooding issues (2 blocks from the ocean, 2 blocks the other way to the ICW).
Hahaha, yeah, I figured it might at best case extract some text, or worst, drop into a work queue for some grunts to transcribe :D but I guess maybe you'll get some feedback at some point?
It should be pretty amazing. It's kind of a hybrid in that it's sill CLAR platform (like our iX), but utilizes a lot of the NK drivetrain (batteries, motors, control systems), so it'll be interesting to see what the final product looks like (exterior and interior), the exterior has been spied a...
Has anyone done the "upload your current lease" workflow yet?
I was wondering what that looked like. If I'm understanding the prompt, it appears they're looking at your maturity date / outstanding payments for scheduling your order availability.
I was thinking about uploading the Jeep lease...
I poked around in an EX90 and at the fit/finish/execution is spectacular. I know they had some growing pains with their tech stack, and started at 400v (the MY26 are 800v).
The upgraded audio system in the EX90 is apparently breathtaking.
In this case, it's the same, bimmerpost, in the iX section, specifically the "What are you getting next?" thread :) But just as an FYI, I'm also on this iX specific forum: https://www.ixforums.com/forums/
(and apparently I'm on a Volvo forum, hahaha, I keep getting email notifications :D )
In our case this applies to leases, but we've used a broker for the last few and it was amazing. Not only did we get a preset deal (that was stellar), but almost no dealer engagement. For the last two rides, maybe 10 minutes of dealer communication (via email) combined. The one dealer that...
FWIW, quite a few folks on the iX forum are very interested in the EX60, possibly even over an iX3. Same ruminations with the P12 not being available in the short-er term.
The other main group is waiting on the iX5 :) Holy smokes, same battery/motor tech, and purportedly coming with a 147kW...
Oh yeah, if the RV is low, but that's really my point: as leases go, that's not great, regardless of what's driving the price (RV and/or MF). The math-is-the-math, but I generally don't do leases over the 1% rule :)
If that lease headline of "from" is read as $599 for the lowest price config (which is ~$60K, Plus, RWD, no options) and we factor in the $6409 down, that's an effective $777/month (pretax) for a $60K retail vehicle. Yikes, I guess the new hotness will settle down, but you should be able to get...
I got an action alert too! It was actually a prompt for uploading existing lease docs.
(FWIW, my reservation was March 7 2024)
I'm actually kind of curious, maybe I'll upload the Jeep lease!
Yeah, my EX60 prices out to about the same as my iX3x50, right at about $70K. Pretty comparable vehicles.
WOTS is the M60 version of the iX3 will start at around $75K, have more standard (so less total option costs vs. a fully loaded x50), but have some that would bump it to close to $80K, so...
Same.
5-6 years ago when we got our L2 circuit installed, I went with a simpler N6-50. Had an L2 and a modular mobile that would work directly.
Years later I wound up switching over to my BMW "portable" charger, it's modular, but no N6-50 option, so I just used an N14-50-to-N6-50 adapter...
Well, I've had about 20 rides in the last 24-25 years or so which ones are you speaking of? The Tesla? The car I was the most thrilled to return across my long history of vehicle ownership? :D
I mean, I have an R2 and a Scout on reserve, so we're at least in the same ballpark in that capacity...
So you're cross-shopping against a vehicle you already own, a massive POS failure, and what might wind up being a killer EV option (Scout, assuming you mean the Traveler model) but won't be in production till very late '27 at best case, an realistically more like '28, if ever.
The rest of the...
Yeah, that's the Landcruiser I'd buy (so to speak) if I was in the market. Extremely nice F&F and execution. And Lexus was some of the best service experiences I ever had (with my GS300 back in the day).
The new Supra really grew on me too, yes, BMW, blahblahblah :D, but not a bad way for...
