Drove the ID.4. Wife fell in love with it. Comfortable, quiet, stable. Would be a perfect highway car.

Unfortunately, I think cylindrical (read, Tesla) batteries are superior - pouch type cells just expand and contract more - hence the recent fires. It looks like SK Innovations is making the Ford battery at the moment. They make the Kia (but not the Hyundai) battery. It's the LG Chem batteries that have been en fuego in the Bolt and the Kona.

The biggest differentiator is still the Super Charger network.  So still undecided. We have a PHEV minivan for long trips, so maybe the VW makes sense.


Musk said a few days ago Tesla is going to open up super charger stations to other EVs, we'll see what happens.
