My wife returns the Kia EV9 today. She is sad because she loved the color and practicality it had. She did really like “Bluey” lol.
Overall we had no problems with it. No battery issues as some had. We were thankful.
She’s not going to miss how it handled in the snow or bad weather. It had all season tires but seemed to slide around and she didn’t like that.
The range was ok. We didn’t really travel with it. She mainly used it around town, but I think the range was maybe around 250 miles, she only supercharged it a few times at Electrify America Tesla only recently opened up charging to Kia, but we never needed it. Most times we would just take my Model S when traveling, especially because of the FSD.
She wanted to possibly buy out the lease but Kia wanted way too much money for this thing. I think it was around $54,000, 2 years old with 23,000 miles.
No thanks, we see used ones with less miles in the $30,000 price range.
Now we play the waiting game, what she really wants is the Tesla Model YL
She is going to drive my Model S for now. She’s OK with driving it, but she doesn’t like how low it sits and really hopes the YL comes soon.
Please @tesla bring the Model YL to the US soon before she decides to go buy a legacy SUV that is inferior and cannot drive itself and the software is trash but just adds more buttons to try and make up for it. 🙏🏼
