Nice to see your video of the Lynk & Co 01 developed by Cevt in Gothenburg. I read that a lot of former Saab people went Cevt after Saab's bankruptcy.

We are not allowed in Europe to have tinted windows in the first half of the car. (Front window + passenger and driver window)

I have one, great car, great electric autonomy for a PHEV but the software is super "buggy". I often get troubles connecting to Apple Car play and I get constant messages that my lights don't work while they do. It takes ages as well to get in touch with Lynk&Co to get an appointment to get the car fixed as well. I'm not sure I'll keep it. I heard that the full EV 01 should arrive in Europe in early 2024.

22:35 I'm now adding "& Co" whenever I introduce myself

Look at all the bicycles. Used to live downtown. Never used my car - didn't have a car for a while. ( by choice)

There’s a subscription BEV Rental in my Midwestern US town, but it’s $900+ a month unless you want a Leaf. Kinda unreasonable.

While I’m opposed to a battery subscription model what Lynk has to offer feels more like a traditional auto lease. Bump up the miles per year to 10k-12k and I’d consider buying into this model.

I had the Xc40 2019 for us$600 per month via care by Volvo 2 year subscription with option to upgrade every 12 months. Prices increased $100 within 1 year, but California BANNED it, so no upgrade, sent the car back after 2 years, now with a lease, but honestly I'm waiting for California dealers to release this again.

Loved that I could change a setting to use the engine to charge the battery on the move.

Then they have made it work elsewhere, because it’s not working in Sweden. The drivers of Lync & Co have been forced to wait up til 3 month for a change between winter and summer tites or the other way around. And it’s not one or two drivers it’s multiple. Also it isn’t the tire companies that are doing something wrong. This have been lifted numerous times in car magazines and newspapers in Sweden.

Interesting first impression. I see this car a lot everyday on the streets of Munich. Yesterday I saw one on the parking lot of my company next to my ID3. Funny to see you driving around where I am living. P.S: I always thought it is fully electric but now I know it is a PHEV.

Never been before. I hope you have a great time.

What I learned is that I need one of those Ford Transit custom vans.

You will love the Zeeker 001, which is another Geely Brand.

It’s pretty impressive.

It’s totally clear that a wide range of innovation is coming to the previously over the steel automobile industry. Innovations are occurring not just in car design but also with different acquisition scenarios, the $550 monthly rental being just one.

No hands up thumbnail? What? Say it isnt so!

A company named Autonomy is rolling out a Tesla subscription model, currently only in California I think, but they have plans to go wider over time.

Super curious about that EU spec VW Arteon wagon in the background. That'd be damn nice

This car looks great! Love that it has unique styling to distinguish over the XC40. Especially like the volume/tuning physical buttons on the infotainment. Would get that subscription in a heartbeat if it came to the US.

Are you absolutely sure it is not the same 3 cylinder engine and dual clutch gearbox as the PHEV XC40? Because it really sounds like it. If you accelerate as fast as possible in pure EV mode, do you get the drop in torque around 90km/h as it changes gear in EV only mode?

It’s a good thing you have your personal assistance with you 😂 I love my Tuscan hybrid SEL though I’d wish it was a plug in hybrid. 90% of the time I drive it in cruise control set at under the speed limit so every time I take my foot off the gas it’s throwing juice into the battery. The car is rated at 37mpg but I’ve had it as high as 43.5mpg using real numbers. Right now with the AC blaring I’m at 39.9. I totally recommend that if you can’t find an electric car to get a hybrid it’s so worth the savings in gas.

strange concept, but why not if people are interested on it. I wish you can find a Citroen AMI during your trip 🙂

ITS THE SAME ENGINEER AS THE VOLVO

Pleas try to allow your passenger to finish talking before making comments or agreeing with them. You are always clipping thier comments with “oh yeah “ or so true. You may know what they are going to say but we don’t.

even though they probably won’t make money at $550 per month rental, if you look at it from the standpoint of advertising, it’s a great way to get people to know your cars without spending a lot of money. Unless you get passengers and drivers in the seats, the sales will never happen. The several hundred million or so it’s a major auto manufacturers spend is a very ineffective use of those dollars cents who really pays attention to car ads?

24:50 I didn’t know people drove like that… interesting. Typically, I want both my arms clear of any cabin elements should I need to perform defen/evasive actions and wider turns. For me, arm rests are just there to rest my non-driving arm on longer trips.

Prices are just still to high for full EVs.

there's no way this business model works @ that price---------unless is subsidized to buy market share and chop the legs out of the competition. thanks for the review.

Honestly don’t understand what’s the difference between this and a renting or lease. For now these guys and Porsche USA are the ones that made subscriptions for cars work out

The black one would've been so much nicer without those blue accents

Seem the focus is on marketing not the product.

Does it have the same garbage infotainment system as volvo

at this subscription rate, there is no way link co can make money. it is like a charity.

Electric versions of the Lynk & CO are called Zeeker.

What that price in American?

Benefit of a strong dollar. Europe will be cheap

PHEV and I stopped watching. BEV’s has made such a leap forward, we do not need those anymore

BRING BACK FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY TO HONG KONG !!

Kyle, your concerns about the seating position and the center console arm rest speak MASSIVE VOLUMES about the whole "no dealership" model with the new EV brands and such. Perhaps not such an issue if you're in a "try it and bail out of it" subscription model, but if you're spending over $50,000 for a vehicle you will have absolutely no ability to test drive before you buy it.... There is just NO WAY IN YOU KNOW WHERE that I will buy a car that I can't confirm that THE ACTUAL VEHICLE I'M BUYING WILL FIT MY DRIVING POSITION. Nothing -- absolutely nothing else, whatsoever -- is more important to me. Oh, with some amount of hassle, you might be able to find one to drive, but look at Tesla these days -- will you get one build in Fremont? Austin? Berlin? Shanghai? Tesla is making some significant changes between different factories, and even within the same factories. "$75,000 for a vehicle where you don't know what you're going to get?" I probably won't be able to do that, period. Yeah, the same kind of thing is now going for a lot of different vehicles these days, and there's some sense that you might have some kind of "return it within 7 days" in some situations, but when you're dealing with trade-ins and such, I'm no more comfortable with that than just getting whatever the heck they dump off the back of a truck. Crazy times, unless you just don't give a damn.

The car doesn’t look good. Actually it looks really ugly and bad. But the subscription is a really a good deal. But since it’s not a full ev it won’t be so successful as it could have been
