    I’m in Europe too, the notification is so annoying it requires a touch of the screen to confirm acknowledgement of the careful driving or some such bs. Mine is only a Niro, but it is lovely and quite roomy. Costs 45k here in Ireland.

    If I went VW it would be ID7. I think some of the established brands like VW and Toyota let their internal design slack in recent times, I’d be happy to se they have corrected course.

      often times if you ask a service manager at a dealership, they are able to disable such warning screens, you might have to sign a legal waiver for it.

      Yeah the ID.7 is the first on VWs “new platform”. IIRC they’re going to refresh the other models now too.

      Going from Tesla to VW was very refreshing. To start with it’s now possible to trust the expected range given. The Tesla lied its heart out.
