Wow, they knocked it out of the park. Only question that remains (and arguably the most important one), what’s the range?

Apparently, this is built on the same E-GMP platform as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Hyundai Ioniq 6, Kia EV6, etc. Since it's a larger vehicle, I would expect that it has less range than an EV6, which gets 252-282 miles in AWD big-battery versions.

Unless they've actually massaged the platform and provide a bigger battery.

Def doesn't look very aerodynamic, which means they'll actually try to sell it with low 200mi range (~220s) or they worked their magic and made the E-GMP platform configurable for larger battery capacity.

I need to amend: if the puppy fit in my garage AND had > 300 mile range. Two hundred for a 'real' SUV, nope.

I doubt it would have had 300mi, but low 200s won't cut it when considering we don't all live in California and will need to use hit for a good portion of the year. Personally, it'd need to be 250+ to be a viable option. Even at 250, the price better be less than a Y LR. Get it to 280+ and I'd pay around the Y. If they hit the "magical" 300+ then it'd be a game changer.

Even now, there's not many sedans that get 300mi, let alone an SUV, and one with a 3rd row at that... shoot that sounds like a magical unicorn
