Appreciate Cindy’s blunt truth. My wife is also small. I’m looking for an EV and I find Cindy’s comments helpful as I feel that will reflect closely to my wife’s reaction.

She's great. Love all her opinion videos. They somehow make for fascinating viewing. Wierd.

Does it have a blindspot indicator on both left and right A pillar or is it only on one side?

i am wondering what ur wife thinks of you, i mean hmm

Hey Chris, great giving us Cindy's point of view! I keep wondering how she would react to the famous 'Tesla phantom braking', as described many times by Tesla Bjorn Nyland on his youtube videos!

Not in the Tesla league

Great review. Love Cindy's thoughts. Always practical.

I drove it. And I love it. My missy didn't complain. I have driven gokarts and this car is so responsive. You point and the car goes. Just awesome ❤ but It's the onboard two computers that is what I want. The rest is bonus.

Based on Björn Nylands super positive review of the ID7 only 3 months ago ua-cam.com/video/MuvSO68U-bc/v-deo.htmlsi=E-I_0FpirZr7lROG this would be my choice of an EV as well. And I have seen A LOT of EV reviews 🙂

I also had a bad headache after testing Tesla M3 three years ago. I have motion sickness. Having to take off my eyes from the road to see speedometer wasn’t great. Wife really hated single pedal driving. Neighter of us felt good driving that car. Tesla also lacked front parking camera, which was very important for my wife. Also visibility backwards when driving the car wasn’t great. Back window is too tiny. So we bought a VW ID3 instead. The only thing we regret about ID3 is that we bought the 420km battery instead of the bigger 550km battery. More range would be better.

As usual, nothing about the actual driving and handling on the road, just babbling about electronics and its gimmicks...

Blinkers are fine when I'm going straight. Otherwise I need a visual check and if I first turn the steering wheel and then I need to start blinking, I'm lost. Auto disabling blinking is working about 80% of times. The most annoying is TACC. Especially in cities and villages. Screaming and breaking very often. Scares the s#*t out of me and my family. Also unable of read speed limit signs, yet ringing the bell when I'm going over the invalid speed read from maps. The same TACC on VW and Skoda cars was way more reliable. Speed limit signs a non issue. I miss that bit a lot.

you need to stretch and exercise lady, as you are getting older.

Cindy should try the perfomance its even more like a sportscar :P

Can pull up camera on screen for rearview it helps sometimes

didn't buy a model Y because my wife had the same experience. Headaches and passenger seat is terrible. The headaches come from the pressure inside the car and it messes up your ears and make it super uncomfortable. It has no passenger side lumbar why?!? The car is great but those 2 things made it a no go.

VW gives some false numbers, much more false than Tesla ! A real test, not like you did, is: a family going on vacation, composed of 4 adults and a child, trunk full, air conditioning, outside temperature 30 degrees, speed 130 km/h. Then we find out what and how much a 5 meter long electric car like the ID7 can do, which is bought precisely to be able to transport several people in good conditions! If you are alone and drive alone, I don't think it is normal to buy this car!

You can change music and wipers speed from the steering wheel. You can select drive mode to chill for o more relaxing driving. Also you should pick the smaller 18” wheels for more comfortable riding.

Think you would have enjoyed the chilled mode better that is how tesla should be driven every day. Also sounds like you didnt use the easy entry to help you get in and out saved with settings in your profile. As others said wipers are automatic a lot better now but can be used/adjusted with the wipers button on the steering wheel. The alarm sounded like forward collision warning, not lane assist. All settings sensitivity can be changed to your preferred level. Sounded like this was on high sensitivity. Mirrors sound like you have the auto dim on I hate this as well and turn it off. Fundamentally Tesla is about understanding how it works, reading the manual and voice commands.

Great interview with different perspective, it's interesting that (at 13:30) the high speed stability is not good. Being fast was one of the selling points for Tesla. Poor stability compared to the ID.4 or ID.7 is good to know.

Blinkers comment is untrue, as well as changing/skipping the songs...all can be done by controls on the wheel or voice control 😀

Yay Cindy 😸👍

I have never heard before that you can't see anything behind you. Good Elon... 😮

Tesla is technology packed in a car. Car is getting better every year. Hopefully Europe gets FSD supervised soon. If you want a car that keeps on giving year after year with new features every few months then get a Tesla!!! If you hate it please go for a test drive or borrow it for a weekend from your friend!!! Any electric car is better technology then the gas powered car imo

Does the Tesla not have automatic windshield wipers? My Zoe has automatic wipers and I absolutely LOVE that.

ID.7 is an 👍😇

Wipers are controllable from button on steering wheel or you can set up an icon at bottom of screen.

I hope it will. My 57kwh TM3 SR will do 400 @ 130. When EVs kan charge 10-80% in 10mins and gain 400kms @ 130 in that time, range and charge times will be of a lot less interest. We are close..

Congrats! I think you made the right decision. 🙌🏻 Good luck!

3:01 - Yes, because ID.7 is an actual car, not an overpowered iPad. 3:10 - This is not a sports car. Porsche Taycan is a sports car; Tesla ( _any_ Tesla ) is not. Yes, they are both quick and fast, but with totally pedestrian handling. 9:10 - _Of course_ there is an advantage of buttons (do they even give tactile feedback?) for blinkers: a) Silicon Valley morons can rave about "high tech" b) Tesla saves $8.40 on hardware, and c) you can buy aftermarket stalks for perhaps 50 times the cost saved.

You didn't mention how it works to share your car with another driver. Like does the app work for two or more people? Does have separate profiles so you can have different settings?

ID 7 bigger and havier then ID3 and can produce less consuption. Big surprise! ID7 is best for me.

Aye, sack it off mate it's not worth it

Oh nice! I know the EnBW Charger - Wörth a. d. Donau 😎👍🏼

ID.7 release has been cancelled for North America😂

I can remote lock/unlock doors and start the engine of My 2023 Arteon SEL Premium R-Line right from MyVW app.😂

Glad to hear, what kind of job did you do? Im excited for new videos, and hope, you and your wife enjoy every second of the new "Battery Life future" !

The app does feel prehistoric - totally agree. Not being able to lock/unlock the car and take care of windows you forgot, come on VW... it is 2024! My ID7 can't register the ISOFIX child seat so i always have to remind my kid to put on the seatbelt.

Congratulations on becoming a full time UA-camr.

Getting my id7 next week Thursday; my first full electric. Live near Antwerp, haven’t seen one on the road yet here in Belgium. Curiuos about the car. Follow your videos with much interest.

Great video, great car. Can you please find out why the ID7 GTX has so low WLTP compared to the PRO S. The ID4 GTX isn't punished as much.

This is what I am expecting from new EV , 130km/h 400km down to 5-6% battery

Excellent! (Like Mr Burns in Simpsons)

I wish you a lot of luck with your new activity. One tip for a test : consumption of an EV with two bikes on the tow bar at eg 130 km/h. I haven't found a single good test on it. How much does consumption increase (and is this different for an SUV vs an aerodynamic berline)?

They don't sell well in Europe. Very expensive and poor battery management, resulting in a short range. Massive depreciation.

I lived in Germany for almost 7 years. On the Autobahn sometimes, I'd WISH my car were electric, because it was loud and stressed me out. Back in the 1980s, of course, this seemed impossible even in the foreseeable future. In the late 1980s, the automotive press gave me "visions" of fuel cells and gas turbines for the magical, green...andf quiet-driving...future. It's wonderful to see you young people enjoying that dream at long last! I live now on a tiny island in Hawai'i where I just ride a pedal bicycle everywhere; I've been car-free for over a decade. However...I certainly miss long road trips like yours. Much aloha to all of you out there in Deutschland!
