Skoda EV cars

[Ant M3]

Wow !

I think Skoda are going to steal the limelight from VW with their EV range. I’m finding the VW EV’s a bit dull and boring , whereas the Skoda ones look awesome.
I’m certainly tempted to switch my wife’s FPace for something like this

what do you guys think ?

I agree. I had a look at a review of the Enyaq a week or so ago, seems like Skoda may be making a better job of utilising the MEB platform than VW.

Concept cars are always cool. The reality in the main, not so much.

It's now a production car, the Enyaq, as I mentioned above. Here's a more recent review of the production version, from the same channel:

Love the Enyaq too ... I believe the concept car in the first post is still planned for production in 2021 and won’t be too far off throw the concept

The Cupra El Born seems likely to be another interesting car from VAG. Looks very much as if it's going to be a bit like a Golf GTI version of the ID.3, with better performance, sportier interior, etc.

Looks lovely! The issue that I have with any brand at the moment other than Tesla is the public charging infrastructure. Tesla Superchargers are streets ahead of anything else. My friend has a Taycan (£115k). It’s a brilliant car in so many ways. But it relies on the public charging infrastructure when taking a road trip. She has already had several bad experiences trying to charge when on a trip. It’s this that really puts me off at the moment.

Ahhh...heated leather steering wheel.

So it wasn't the £115k price tag?!

I think i'm in the minority that feels lucky to own a M3P. I've worked my arse off to get to where I am (modest 3 bed semi, above average salary, 2 car household) considering I left school with mediocre GCSEs and started work in a warehouse 17 years ago picking drinks.

Back on topic - I like the look of the car but the other big thing for me about these other manufacturers that Tesla has over them all is, vegan leather. I'm unaware of any other manufacturer doing this as yet. The only way you seem to be able to avoid leather is by having a lower spec interior/model. It's a step in the wrong direction by not including this as an option, IMO.

Mercedes offer it ... but don't know about others. (Some leathers in cars appear to have a plastic surface protection that defeats the real leather appeal anyway.)
