First thoughts:

It is like safely floating on an electric cloud but in the future. With a few well placed features, you just feel safer riding in it. The moonroof is just insane. Waking up with 200 miles to go and not paying for gas is rad. The nostalgia is only superficial on this thing, be prepared for a fully futuristic interior.

2-24-25 update:

Mountain day trips to hike with the family and mulch hauling this thing gets the job done.

Realpolitik:

• The initial investment is high, it’s expensive.

• Seats 7 more effectively than the previous full size diesel SUV we had before this.

• Traveling requires some planning

• Turns out my family never drives more than 200 miles in a day unless it’s a planned trip.

• You will have to talk to people about it everywhere you go. *it has been the nicest people so far.

• The breaks haven’t stopped squeaking since we drove it off the lot but we’ve been assured that is just the “newness” and will cease.

Met the first person in NC to get a buzz while on a trip to a local plant nursery. Hers was mahi green too!
