So the big negative was the cost (which is the same as all the other luxury SUVs in its segment) and the gas mileage (also similar to the others) and the acceleration. You don’t mention that you can usually get 500 miles on a tank of gas instead of the 250-300 with an EV. Would this car be better as a hybrid? Absolutely! But comparing it to EVs is apples to pumpkins. Compare it to an X5 M (worse acceleration but much better ride) or an Audi Q7 ( better in all respects - no comparison).

I don't want an EV. They become a multi -ton brick if the powe goes out, they can short out in high water, and traveling long distances can be a risk. Do I really want to plan a 1000 mile trip around the available charging stations? No thanks.
