OK. Flame suit is on. Give it to me.
I love wagons, I love EVs, now there is a EV wagon. Checks all the boxes for me.
Had a '02 2.7t allroad. LOVE that car.
Really wanted the new RS6 Avant as my ICE replacement for the '19 RRS, so that we always have 1 ICE in the garage. Albeit not being driven often.
Now comes that the Cross Turismo is available this summer. I'm gravitating toward it like a moth to light. My '16 X is still very much alive, thinking of getting extended warranty till 100k, and doing the MCU2 upgrade. But the back of head, I really really want the 4S Cross Turismo. Optioned out = ~$140k.
Already have my '21 LR+ for road trips. Should I just go for the Turismo as a DD? Here in CA. I can get HOV stickers for it. Still have $7500 tax credit, plus CA $1500 rebate.
Range if it resembles the regular 4S Taycan will be in low 200s per EPA, but everybody tested the sedan indicates it's over EPA ratings. So I figure 250 miles per charge. Drove the sedan, loves it, but the range and charging infrastructure prevented me from getting it the 1st time around. Now that EA is building more stations, it helps.
Also I figure this will be regulated to local driving and commuter car, plus weekend fun drive car. Not that the X is not fun for weekend drives, but this is a totally different animal.
Thought about getting rid of the '16 and use fund to bring cost down. But then I thought about it, will keep '16, unlimited supercharging, LTE, OG seats. No major faults with car other than typical Tesla build quality issues. Maybe keep it till my kids feel like driving (don't get me started on kids and driving nowadays, 2 X, 1 3, a RRS, and they don't even want to touch the cars, I have to forced them to get their licenses after turning 16), or pass it along to family members who would appreciate the X.
Anyway, at the Turismo price point, there's the Rivian, the Lucid, RS6 Avant, AMG Wagon, quite a bit of options out there. But only the RS6 and Cross Turismo excites me with the looks and only one of them is a BEV.
What do you you all think? Save up for a Roadster 2.0 instead? lol. told my wife the Cross Turismo will be my mid-life crisis car.
