Sat in this at the EV show, lovely apart from the speedo display. Bit small. Was a great event. The cybertruck is horrendous. Tried to say hello to you but you were busy on the BOI stage most of the day. Met Packie Bonner though. The version you had, single motor is 7.1secs not 3.1 secs.
Coast to coast and your own motor show rather sets this channel apart, thank you. A report on real world driving is so much more useful than a launch review, and certainly my driving patterns are much closer to your coast to coast than launch driving. I do not like this car - too big, too expensive (€81k), terrible UI/UX with iPad on the dashboard, and just too heavy. A sort of overpriced Ford Mondeo. Given this uses a Geely platform, I think Geely are doing much more interesting things with their shared Smart sub brand.
@@oscar-7788 I agree the use of the Google auto system is a good move because it works; what I do not like is everything on the central iPad touch screen. The Smart cars do have a lower quality interior but are less than half the price. At a bit over half the price you can get the Brabus versions. Besides I am perfectly ok with plastic where needed.
Had one a couple of weeks now , absolutely loving it. My 1st ev 😊
@@johntadley4323 is it buggy still or have they fixed it now?
Still a few minor bugs nothing major though
@@johntadley4323 ok, I like them but the bugs were putting me off so I was thinking to go with a model 3 performance or i4 instead
@@benjimc1model 3 is completely different system apparently and works better

The Google automotive system is fantastic to use. The Smart cars are much lower quality interior with a lot of squeking plastic.
