- The car beeps a lot.
- The steering is very light.
- The suspension is lagging.
- It is suggested to turn all driver assists off.
- Lithium-ion batteries are not used, but rather classic lead-acid batteries.
- There is an obvious delay in throttle response.
- Range estimate is inaccurate; expect far less.
- The interior is warmer than a Tesla.
- The rear seat is good.
- There are four interior color options.
- Fit and build quality are better than a Tesla.
- It needs high-quality suspension, plus throttle and brake calibration.
- The tested ‘Plus’ trim gets 402 hp, but a Canadian customer needs to pay $1500 more for it.

- The trunk can be closed automatically via keyfob, though trunk randomly opening can be a problem due to a sensitive keyfob.
- All in all, the car isn’t ready. It just needs time.
