    I might add a couple of suggestions to make things as painless as possible. Get the H&K sound system and Tech package. The tiny screen looks super crappy in such a nice interior and the base sound system SUCKS. No, seriously, it’s absolutely abysmal and is legitimately far worse than the one in my wife’s base Kia Niro. I’m not super snobby when it comes to audio systems and mostly listen to podcasts and such, but it’s barely passable even for that. Second is if you plan on getting a BEV, get one with a heat pump. It makes a massive difference in range even if it doesn’t get super cold where you live.

    Also, after having a 33kWh REx and now the larger 42kWh BEV, I don’t miss the REx at all. It’s not a road trip car by any means, but I got it from Atlanta to Detroit with zero issues, it was just a slow trip. I’ve driven it all around MI and done a couple of road trips to Chicago in it, and had zero issues.
