- Its battery has been improved to 82 kWh (it was 78kWh).
- The long-range battery charging increased to 205kW.
- It has an optional leather seat upgrade, which is considered an improvement over the standard seats.
- Range was calculated after charging to 100%, testing battery capacity, consumption, and charging.
- The car has silicone carbide inverters for the motor, making them more efficient.
- The noise levels are the same in the older model.
- A possible bug that the reported average speed is three kilometers per hour too high.
- One lacking feature is battery temperature display, and indication of if the preheating is active.
- It may be more comfortable than a Tesla but is a little cramped and that could be improved.
- The final conclusion is that it's a great car overall, even though it could use some improvements.
