This is brilliant: tire wear (loss of X grams of rubber) scales with distance traveled, vehicle weight, speed and aggressive driving.

but the supply chain is very hard to lock-down, without tire serial numbers.

Day-to-day, it’s very nice. Charging at CCS chargers is very fast (though charging at Tesla is slower than some, 98kw). If you’re not in a warm climate, be sure you get one with battery preconditioning (in '22, that meant getting an AWD model).

The GT (and I think GT-Line?) has a low ceiling due to the sunroof… we got the Wind+options due to tall family members.

The interior and exterior 120v outlets are really nice: I powered a freezer, fridge, window A/C unit and internet from it during an all-day power outage.

AFAIK, all EV6’s, IQ5s etc have the ICCU issue, which appears to be under-spec MOSFETs . One tally on a forum I’m on estimates 2%-10% of owners have experienced failure. However, the 10yr/100k-mile electric warranty covers it.

There is a new part number last month for the ICCU (from old 36400 1XFA0 to new 36400 1XFA0A), so there’s some hope that it may be sorted. Maybe your dealer can verify that a new EV6 has the new ICCU part number (I’ve also heard that it can be read via CarScanner).

We are at 80k miles, so hoping either ours pops within 20k, or else there is a recall or class-action.

The only Fast Charging most EV owners do is on road trips. The rest is more like plugging your cell phone in while you sleep. So the relevant comparison is: how long do you usually stop for a bio-break & snack+checkout. I wish I could get the family in and out a convenience store as fast as the EV6 charges (though it’s much slower than Blade2’s high-speed charge).

Of course, most petrol users fuel-up weekly in the USA, so the petrol car is starting each road trip at a disadvantage. If you fuel-up with petrol for 4 minutes, 4x/month, and road-trip 1x/month, then the petrol car starts each road trip 16 minutes behind.
