Yes. It was as premium as you'd expect and right in line with the combustion Macan. I'm still not a fan of the large center console intrusion, which feels a bit cramped to me coming from an open EV and has that same issue I had with the Polestar 2 (less so the Polestar 3, which this will compete against). Passenger side is excellent, though. Dedicated third infotainment screen and very comfortable, customizable seating.
I do understand -- and would generally prefer a compact hot hatch myself -- but I do accept that wider adoption in North America isn't possible without large SUVs and trucks. Efficiency shouldn't be sacrificed, though, as we have a chance here to reclaim some of the wastefulness that those vehicles segments currently represent.
Nice display of cars. I would love to go see it in person. Thanks for the video.
It was definitely great to see the EV count growing. Much better than Chicago a few years back, albeit that was mid-pandemic. Thanks for watching!
Nice overview! Looks like a ton of walking, but totally worth it.
Thanks Brian, I have the blisters to prove it!
Thanks, Steve! That is a nice Mustang Green. Almost like Bullitt.
Gets close to classic Lotus... takes me home!
👍👍
Did you sit in the Electric Macan Steve?

8:49 There goes Walter!
Gotta get that brisket home before it gets cold 🏁
Looks like 'scrat' did this video after his morning coffee! 😊
😄 Definitely produced on high speed and little sleep!
Thanks Steve.
Personally I don't like the trend to bigger EV's.

No Chinese EV??? BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They're late to the party in North America, but coming soon, I'm sure. Polestar is Geely-owned, though.
the Lotus technically
