No CarPlay and preview specs seem to be aligned more closely with the old standard model than the premium.
Does it have a heat pump?
But if they keep the price at a reasonable level they might sell a few. Faster charging is a big upgrade; the old one topped out at 55kw so it’s getting close to an hour wait at a charger along a road trip, which probably isn’t in a place that’s exactly well stocked with attractions to visit.
Wonder how it will stack up to the new Leaf. I think it’s got proper battery temperature management which was a blocker for some people and earned it a reputstion of being unreliable.
Carplay certification is expensive, or so I hear from people who should know. I can’t blame manufactures for not wanting to pay that price. (The people I know who should know are under NDA and so ask they remain anonymous)

They had CarPlay/AA on the old models. GM has just removed it from all vehicles so they can sell you subscriptions.
Yeah that’s my point - it’s a bit hard to see the value in replacing one, if you have it, unless the fast charging is important to you.
But for new buyers, it’s a bit of a problem. CarPlay is a huge deal for me.
It is, absolutely. If I were buying today it would definitely be Kia/Hyundai models. They seem to be doing all the innovating at this point.

It’s a pittance compared to it’s value. If that were the reason, they would still include AA, but they don’t.
