      ​@@MukisaSS With the Tesla network being opened to everyone Id say it's possible to road trip with confidence. Purchasing an EV outright is still an awful idea due to the depreciation. The ford dealership in my town literally has a sign out front that says $14000 off the Mach E. I'm willing to bet they don't sell because no one wants and SUV "mustang", though. Down with the egg shaped cars I say! Bring back the boxes of doom.

    I could see choosing an ICE competitor like Telluride or CX-90 due to the price, but if the EV9 gets some discounts and tax incentives so there isn’t as big of a price difference, what would your opinion be? You say you prefer ICE due to range, but that comes into play, what, several times per year? The other 350+ days, wouldn’t you rather have the instant throttle response, faster acceleration, quieter ride, less maintenance, ability to fill up at home instead of a gas station, ability to idle and relax in your car without running a loud and wasteful engine, and cheaper fuel that an EV offers? I have a CX-9 now, but would consider replacing it with an EV9 if I got a great deal.

  • @officialyasir
    @officialyasir 3 місяці тому +1

    It's so funny to hear all these old school auto journalist on ICE, OH NO only 280 mile range then I have to stop for 20 mins to charge. Apparently, they road trip every weekend or something lol. When in reality you charge at home 90% of the time. Don't get me wrong I am big mazda fan but spending $60k on a CX90 then paying more for gas and oil changes in 2024 just seems kinda silly. Not to mention there are lower priced trims available in the EV9. Now if we are talking about a miata, then let's go, Mazda all day!

    • @TopherDrives
      @TopherDrives  3 місяці тому +1

      Old school... jeez! Maybe just an old soul. I'm 25. I do actually road trip quite frequently, as seen here on the channel! Also consider that 20 minutes to charge is absolute best case scenario. I've waited 30-45 minutes in line at charging stations. Usually because half the chargers are down.
      And yep! EV9 starts at $55k, CX-90 starts at $37k. Lots of gas and oil changes required to make up that $18k difference :)

      For non long distance driving , I def prefer the quietness and smoothness of the EVs. The constant start/stop of the rough ice engine driving school pickups drives me crazy!
      And for family usage, the cx90 is a horrible choose. It’s huge outside but lacks any usageble 2nd and 3rd space.

    • @fakenman
      @fakenman 3 місяці тому

      all valid skepticism and criticism. the reason for poor EV performance during blizzards is the low temperature requiring energy to be used to heat the battery to operating temperature. so hurricanes/tornadoes should have no effect because those typically occur during warm weather seasons when EV batteries perform better. however, hurricanes and tornadoes are known to knock out power infrastructure which could leave you stranded.

      They do it purposely. Same reason the upcoming Volvo EX90 looks almost identical to the XC90. Market differentiation from Tesla. Tesla already has the egg-shaped big sedan posing as an SUV market. Kia, Volvo and others are appealing to people who specifically wanted something more like their favorite ICE vehicles but as EVs. For many, the fact that it looks like an SUV is a plus.
