Would probably go 4.5 stars if such was possible
Car is mostly great and, for my usage patterns, costs very little to operate. However, there *are* some oddball elements of the vehicle that I feel required more thought:
- 2024 model -- no hatch window wiper
- No way to open & close hatch manually, i.e., NOT with power
- The commonly reported hatch rattle, thus far resisting attempts to solve
- WAY too much automation of what should be straight-forward operations (high-beam "assist", other "assists", SO MANY THINGS to simply turn off so one can drive the car without warnings sounding every two seconds)
- iPedal forces AWD
- Regenerative braking deactivates while in reverse? THAT was a bit unsettling the first time; still don't understand why the most recently-selected regen setting would not remain active.
- No dashboard button to release the charging port flap. And, despite any suggested solutions I've found on-line, I have NEVER been able to open merely by pressing on the door's external button; in fact, I have given up. Voice control "works", but is a stupid alternative to simply pressing a button on the dash. (Digging the key fob out of the pocket to press, and thus open the charge flap, is even worse.)
