Sold my Tesla for a Kia EV6 GT!
Couldn’t drive around in a car tainted by the president of the USA, Elon Musk.
Love my new ride, but miss the better software, app and charging infrastructure.
My first road trip between Toronto and Montreal was not fun. It was full of chargers not working on arrival and slow charging speeds. The Kia Ev6 could charge to 238kwh but only did it once on the whole trip. Tried Shell chargers rated for 350kwh and it failed to connect. Tried Petro Canada chargers rated for 350kwh and failed to charge. Only the Electrify Canada chargers worked (mostly). The first Electrify Canada 350kwh rated charger failed to connect (tried on my trip to Montreal and again on the way back to Toronto). Not sure if it was a compatibility issue (with my car specifically), or if it was just a problem with the chargers. I tried calling Electrify Canada while at one of the 350kwh chargers and the person on the phone said from his end the charger was reporting as functional. He was arguing with me. Told me to unplug from the 150kwh charger I was using to try the 350kwh again, but at that point I was so frustrated and annoyed I just wanted to finish up and leave.
In comparison to my 2021 Tesla Model 3 SR+, I like the extra HP of my Kia (300hp vs 567hp). I like the HUD, the extra display in front of the steering wheel, the bucket seats, the extra leg room in the back, the sunroof that opens.
What I preferred in my Tesla: software, charging network, felt smaller and easier to park, larger windows. I've driven the Tesla for 4 years and most likely would have gotten another one if it wasn't for the nonsense of management.
