For the door handles, just change the settings in the menu. Pretty simple and then they can all open as you approach!

I love that you paid attention to the child-friendly aspects, like the seat latches... the EV9 is my dream EV as a family man, and it's great to know that I could have a couple of kids in the back without worry... once I figured out the door handles.

You found the hard way to open the hood. There is a button to the left of the steering wheel. And on the key fob.

To open the hood, button behind the signal lever on dash. X2 symbol you push twice & frunk opens. The pull lever in panel is the backup if there’s no power.

The regenerative brakes are awesome on the ev9. And at 100% charge in eco mode I’m getting an estimated 340-360 miles. I doubt that that’s totally accurate but still notably more than the 280 miles as spec’d.

I genuinely love this thing. I test drove it since the Lightning isn’t cutting it for the growing family. It rides smooth, has tons of utility, and I like the goofy design (and 4 spoke). I just wish it was a tad more affordable.

@rkhairajani1 18 күн бұрын

Leasing the top end version for 750 pm. No down. Never thought will get an EV but after driving this was sold. Drove Model X, Rivian and this within 2 days of each other. Rivian is awesome but priced a bit high. Also it drives like a Body on frame SUV. This one feels like a regular unibody suv. Range anxiety with the charging network still exists for me. Time will tell. Love your reviews with inputs from the better half and kid chipping in. Keep up the good work.

Hiii! Awesome review. I would say though, had a friend get the light trim recently, such a cool car but oh boy… 6000 pound car meet 200 ish hp , it got scary once or twice when she needed it to get up and go 😅 it definitely is a bit slow and she’s not my crazy drivin speed demon self by any means and she was concerned. Any chance yall have driven it and can confirm?

@MicahMuzio Ай бұрын

We haven't driven the Light trim but your math checks out. The acceleration numbers are quite slow.

@ZenEndurance Ай бұрын

I saw one a couple days ago and it looked smart and cool. Driver looked very happy too. But yeah, 4 spoke wheels are no good. Make it look like your car has square tires (like a kid drew it) and 4 spokes put a large gap of stress between the spokes. 5 is the magic number for smart wheel design. More is unnecessary and 4 is risky, especially with a heavy car.

@rhuynh Ай бұрын

Is not 4 spines underneath. That's just the cover. Many more spokes underneath

@billybobjohnson7199 Ай бұрын

With declining buyer interest and sales of EVs plummeting, I’m curious to know if that decline is also reflected in EV reviews. Have you found that your YT reviews for EVs gets less engagement? Is there a parallel between EV sales and EV reviews engagement?

@MicahMuzio Ай бұрын

Good question. It really depends on the EV. Our Mercedes EQE video did terribly. Meanwhile our EV9 is one of our best performing videos currently ranked 2 of our last 10 videos.

@ChristianC-gy1ym Ай бұрын

OF COURSE IT'S BETTER THAN THE TELLURIDE. It's built to be better. It's priced accordingly. You're asking the wrong question. Question is, is it WORTH buying the ev9, over an ICE vehicle? My answer is no. EV9 as an in-town family vehicle is great. But as an all around family car that can do the town commutes as well as family road trips?? No ev is worth that

It isn't the four spoke that turns me off with the wheels, it's the over all ugly design. The useless retractable door handles on EVs are something I agree with wifey on.🎉

@citibear57 Ай бұрын

Second row seats that flip forward 'electrically' are a terrible idea. The designers/engineers probably never considered northern winters with bitter windchill, blowing snow, etc. You want to get in or out as quickly as possible. Pop-out or flip-out door handles are equally bad, not just for weather, but in case a stalker or wild animal is chasing you, you don't want to be fumbling to get the door open, or in the case of the EV9 tester, not even open. Vehicles have become too complex, and it seems that they just try to make things as modern/futuristic as possible without thinking about the issues they may cause.

@CapELarry Ай бұрын

This is very handy for larger families. A small kid can move the seat forward while mom/dad on the other side secures a car seat. If you don’t want them, don’t get them. But they’re not a bad idea just because you don’t like them.

@raspas99 Ай бұрын

But if a little pebble hits the bottom of your car and scratches it and a mechanic then says you have to replace the $30,000 battery.. I'm not sure the whole experience is worth the heart attack.. 😊 they really lower their credentials there..

Your daughter is too old, no more booster seat...a little cheeky on the commentary today, something to do with paddles and buttons? Btw, I'll go with six spokes.
