Holy moly, I can't even imagine that. 80 miles is about the total range of my Leaf with a 10 year old battery, and it's closer to 60 if I'm doing highway driving. If it's been night and day with your Etron, I can't even begin to imagine the road trips in store with 2 years of free fast charging.
Cool. My wife has a Leaf 2019 and she likes it, though she has often range anxiety because many times the battery is just enough for her to come home. Nissan got a 60kW version also, and we tested it but felt that the car is the same as ours, except the higher price and better battery. What I mean is that the it didn't feel like a new, 2022 model but a 2018 old, no development. So we went for an EV6 for her, it has better range and better everything else also. It will be here in July, four months before expected delivery.Hi there! Long time lurker, first time poster. I originally ordered my i4 eDrive40 sometime in July or August of last year, it's hard to remember now. Probably was earlier than that.
Ran into all of the woes expressed here, parts shortages and delays. But I stuck to my dream build, because dammit if I'm shelling out this much for a new car, I want it to be PERFECT!
And then...in February it almost seemed too good to be true. Scheduled for production, was I hallucinating??
Alas, as many of you have experienced, my baby hung in that status for over a month. Once production began, it was a whirlwind! Refresh in the morning, exterior body assembly begins. Refresh after work, paint booth!!
Before I knew it, she was heading to the port. Not two weeks later, in transit!! But wait, what's that? Back at the port the next day? Hm. Quite the speedrun across the Atlantic.
Yet another long month and a half after the false start, success! My sales rep confirmed -- she's arriving on the Hawaiian Highway! Thank goodness for all the posts about how to track a cargo ship like a stalker. Which, speaking of, the ship is now moored at Brunswick, where my car will be unloaded and sent to the PCD.
Boring finance stuff out of the way, and all I'm waiting for now is that exciting email to set up a date. Can't wait to finally have my hands on a car with range!!
...because yes, my username is a nod to my current vehicle. I've cherished my time with my 2013 Leaf, but now it's time to upgrade. Goodbye, frog car. You converted me to the EV life.
Can't wait to see you all on the road! And nerd out about this amazing vehicle in the meantime
Beautiful car!! Hope your delivery date is accurate 🤞Cool.

I am not saying this as a "you should have bought and EV6" message. I bought an i4 e40 which will look like this and currently expecting it in July.
I bought an EV6 for my wife last June. She loves it and I was fortunate to drive it until my i4 arrived. Only issue we have had with the EV6 was a recent dead 12 volt battery. Lesson learned to always carry a portable jump starter in an EV.Cool.
