My very first Reddit post...

I enjoy this car very much overall. It was 27k off with the Illinois used ev credit. I hope to drive it into the ground for 15-20 years.

In my estimation, if reliable, best choice for the price, for a three row vehicle if driven 15 years. Was thinking about the Grand Highlander, but there's no negotiating there and the cost of gas and maintenance made it less palatable. I know its a first year model, but it and the ev9 has been running for a few years now esp in Korea and if you can handle the risk of an ICCU failure there's really nothing else...

Pros:

1. Ambient LEDs are awesome.  
2. Great Torque for passing, even at 6000 lb. 
3. Super quiet and luxurious cabin.  No road noise.  Materials feel so plush. 
4. 100w Charge ports for everyone!  
5. center console open from front and back - awesome feature.
6. HDA2 - nice auto steering system.  Not obnoxious or intrusive - arguably better than Tesla's.  Even changes lanes for free.  Easy to use, won't fight with you like Tesla. 
7. Tons of storage.  Frunk and Underfloor trunk space is small, but still helpful.    
8. Roomy, airy first two rows.
9. Good energy economy - as stated - 2.9mi/Kwh.  My Model Y gets 3.9mi but this is bigger 
10. Leatherette seats are comfy and look like they will last
11. 24 minute 10-80 fast charging! Not a big deal for me as 40 minutes is fine at Tesla since I can stretch my legs, get some food and bathroom break at the Meijer.

Cons:

1. the potential ICCU issues.  
2. After a long drain may need two nights to charge L2, especially if you charge at 29 amps (60%) to save ICCU stress
3. Kids hate the third row seating.  But they’re coming from a large plush Sienna with captains chairs.  
4. Won't remember settings like climate sync and i-pedal
5. Impossible to tell what the climate/AC settings are with those faint indicator LEDs. 
6. Software primitive if coming from Tesla
7. Drives BIG!  Huge hood!  Wide circles!
8. bumpy third row with non-adjustable head rests. 
9. Menu is terrible.  Impossible to find things buried in 3-5 nested menus.  
10. The constant beeping is total rage bait.  Every time you park or pull out…  Anytime a door or seat or seat belt is off...  It's obnoxious!  
11. The parking camera and redundant side and top down views and beeping are very distracting.  
12. Mid trim SEL with no options for captains chairs, no walk away lock, no seat profiles, or one touch rear windows or sunshades...   
13. Remote feels like a six year old in Shenzhen made this for ten cents...  There's no weight to it. Then you have this convoluted emergency key that should slide into the remote but is separate dangly piece, and to add insult to injury it's connected to its own fob by a little pin which of course fell out so it's loose...

  

Quirks:

1. Odd mix of features.  Ventilated and cooled seats but no one touch windows on the second row?
2. Super plush suspension - great for highways but can't corner! 
3. track down/up is reversed.  Weird!  
4. There’s at least three or four icons on the dash related to steering - center keep is separate from lane assist is separate from the green steering wheel and sometimes they turn off without an alert…
