Worth knowing
- Skip 2021–2022. Early cars had frequent software glitches and 12-volt battery problems. Confirm all updates were done.
- 2021: owner complaints spike (333, mostly the electrical system).
- 2023: owner complaints spike (456, mostly the electrical system).
- Touch-sensitive controls and a laggy screen frustrate many owners. Fast charging is slower than the quickest rivals.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the Pro: its larger 82 kWh battery delivers far more range than the Standard. The AWD Pro adds traction and quicker acceleration.
