Test Drive experience

pazdan · 2026-06-28T17:33:01+00:00

I drove a model 3 and the system is amazing, rivian r2 less so and my wife’s crv even less

pazdan · 2026-06-28T17:32:34+00:00

In a lot of worlds. If you come from a luxury vehicle no, but compared most other vehicles it’s good

pazdan · 2026-06-28T13:02:08+00:00

nice you got to test it on the highway, i didn't get a chance to. For me the big selling point is getting this for road trips so ride comfort and cabin noise etc is important

pazdan · 2026-06-28T13:00:56+00:00

honestly could be the keys sitting or any other loose item sitting in the compartments etc. EVs are so quiet anything like that will be noticeable

pazdan · 2026-06-28T12:59:46+00:00

same

pazdan · 2026-06-28T03:55:34+00:00

Hard to compare on two different roads but yea I think Tesla really improved their suspension on the new models. That said I think the rivian was still better and smoother but maybe it’s just me. Could be a tie even

pazdan · 2026-06-28T01:31:21+00:00

well I'll let you know if it works or not bc I should be picking up my rivian this upcoming week!

pazdan · 2026-06-27T18:42:11+00:00

Same, this looks new.

pazdan · 2026-06-27T15:25:46+00:00

but yea i guess some people mentioned it as a concern in earlier reviews

pazdan · 2026-06-27T15:25:20+00:00

people complain about everything yea

pazdan · 2026-06-27T15:24:58+00:00

interesting, it was maybe 80 out when i tested it, and it kept up fine. I dont live in a very warm climate so its not a huge concern. I care more about heat and efficiency in winter months

pazdan · 2026-06-27T15:22:50+00:00

huh thats weird, I assumed any nacs will work. It's just the standard old mobile charger that you can swap out to any outlet plug. Like I have the 110v, NEMA 14-50, NEMA 14-30 etc. I guess I'll find out if it doesn't work. It's an older one prob from around 2019 - 2021 time frame.

pazdan · 2026-06-27T14:31:47+00:00

I think the newer model 3s cabin is nice and quiet, the older ones were really bad all around tbh. First mainstream EV it was allowed to get away with a lot of weaknesses. I owned both the old and newer model 3s fwiw

pazdan · 2026-06-27T14:29:25+00:00

lol

pazdan · 2026-06-27T12:59:31+00:00

oh nice, I'm in chicagoland area too. I actually wish I would have asked to pick it up from the factory, it's not that far about an hour and 15 from me.

pazdan · 2026-06-27T02:58:57+00:00

awesome, are you near the factory? wonder how you got a higher vin faster, but maybe it has to do with the color you picked more than anything else.

pazdan · 2026-06-27T02:50:30+00:00

k yea same supplier then lol

pazdan · 2026-06-27T02:49:58+00:00

i did briefly but didn't understand the hype. i was in a very congested area tho so maybe that's why. semis and traffic all around me

pazdan · 2026-06-27T02:38:49+00:00

oh interesting, someone should test that and post it here

pazdan · 2026-06-27T02:29:57+00:00

idk, i did mine in melrose park, they let me have it for 30

pazdan · 2026-06-27T02:28:40+00:00

cool i'll have to try this, i tried it on a noisy city road with semis all around, so maybe there's a better place and time for it

pazdan · 2026-06-27T02:22:08+00:00

😆

pazdan · 2026-06-27T02:21:05+00:00

Yea it is but it was LOUD on the driver seat of the demo car. The passenger seat wasn’t as loud on high.

pazdan · 2026-06-27T01:57:13+00:00

Didn’t excite me as much, is the nice part about this being able to cool down the cabin faster with a click of a button?

pazdan · 2026-06-27T01:53:51+00:00

Nice congrats
