The Solterra is the Subaru version of the Toyota bZ4X. I've seen both of them on the road.

not me...they all look the same...i laugh when i see the porsche or jaguar or alfaromeo suv's as they look so lame..i mean if you are gonna spend the coin on a luxury name like that get a sportier sedan.

Just don't buy it for long road trips. Although the software update increased the limit, these will nerf the charging if you DCFC a lot in a 24 hour period.

Okay...why? Some of us like and or need the capabilities of an SUV, even if its more softroader than offroader. For example, a MY would be fine for me. A model 3 would leak its puctured guts out all over my driveway.

Most crossovers are basically just fat hatchbacks anyways... I much prefer the higher seating position since it's far easier to get in/out.

I love driving my M3...but even today I had to drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid a tree root that had lifted the tarmac on the right side of the road

The bZ4x is a solid skip, just bad/mediocre in basically every way. The Solterra will probably be as well, since the underpinnings will be the same.

I have no problem with people liking this and having options. But I do have a huge problem when that is the ONLY option, which to a disturbing extent it is now. As far as I can tell, the Model 3 is the only EV car actually sold in the US from a US manufacture (below $70k that is). I guess you could still count the Bolt, but not for long. That is not healthy. Yet there are tones of CUV and larger options, and more being announced all the time.

Throwing in the imports we have a few but not many more like the Ioniq 6 and Polestar 2 (and some short-range stuff like the MINI).

It's been shipping in the US since Nov 2022 (Subaru Solterra Entered The US Market With 94 Units Sold In November). And, yes, it's the Subaru version of the "busy forks". We already have several threads mentioning the Solterra. Google for site:teslamotorsclub.com solterra.

If by "from a US manufacture", you mean from an automaker headquartered in the US, there are others besides Bolt EV + Model 3. See US Electric Car Prices: Cheapest To Most Expensive. That would include Mach-E, Lyriq and The First-Ever Blazer EV: Electric SUV | Chevrolet.

But yeah, these are SUVs or "crossovers".
