I have the 2024 Luxury Package Solterra (Limited I think in US trims). I put over 3,500 km's on her in just a few weeks and tried short, medium and long distance trips thus far. I tend to cycle 50-70% in city since shallow charging is best for battery longevity and for long trips, I run her up to 100% the night before. Fast charging experiences so far have been great. I take 30-40 minutes to eat with my loved ones and get 80-90% charge. I have driven her through torrential rains, heavy winds and tried some light off-roading and I have to say she handles like a dream. I love this vehicle so far and I drive a lot. The cargo space is excellent, the handling is amazing, the visibility, like most Subarus, is fantastic and overall I am always trying to find reasons to go out and just drive.
@echo700 oooh! Sweet! I'll look at Turing the inattentive monitor off! I turned off the back seat reminder but still get notifications via the app to check. Only happens on occasion. Thanks!
Hey! I'm planning on doing a part two soon. The short version is: After almost 7k miles and one 300 mile (one way) trip later - I am still loving the car! If you can snag one for way less than sticker - and don't have to do long drives on a regular basis - do it! I would absolutely buy it again, but would consider the benefits of the Touring. Either way it's a winner!
Yep, I have mine for about 2 months - it’s awesome! I do look forward to the Tesla adapter if available. I have a Premium model and took the hubs off and have 5 spoke black alloys underneath! Gonna paint the calipers cyan blue - should look pretty cool.
Congrats, I actually liked the Solterra in compares to all EV in market, I believe in cheapest lease ( no buying) and thinking about getting for my wife who does 50-70 miles a day ( I work from home😜) I can not find a single negative thing and loved the suspension ( Tesla has the trash suspension and not at all in my buying option ) I was looking for the cheapest leased model ( premium ) but loved all the wheel and whistles in Touring. I think range on EV is a myth, I have tons of my friends who own Tesla but their average drive is 50-70 miles a day so why the heck it does really matter. My wife should be okay charging every 2nd day or may be 3rd day. I am pressing sale manager to get me touring for 350 month lease with 2500 down. Let’s see.
Good luck on the lease! I know the deals right now are bonkers so that may be able to happen! Please let us know if it does! :) Also, if you can charge at home with the level1 charger, you can likely extend that "every three day" charge out for a while! Fingers crossed it all goes well!

Got mine a month ago. I'm just as impressed as you are.
Had mine just over a week. Live the way it drives. Lane tracing works fantastic. I agree the plus minus on the paddles seems opposite. So far so good.
I did turn off the in-attentive monitor. The back seat reminder, and lowered the sensitivity on the front cross-path detector.

Hi. Any updates on the review or how you are liking the car 3 months in? I'm thinking of getting it mainly cause of the discounts.
