My wife leased the first electric car in her company 10 years ago. We have driven the BMW i3, Hyundai kona electric, Skoda enyaq, and model 3. The last 2 are our current daily drivers.
The i3 brought the electric amazingness, the Kona brought range and more practicality. Model 3, while being standard range, brought an infotainment system that has no equal and is just very good to drive with even more range.We've had it for 2 years with zero issues. I did install a hud android screen to have a waze, but i rarely use it anymore. And the rims scratch by even looking at a curb. I thought the enyaq 85 L&K full option would blow the model 3 out of the water, but it just doesn't. It is more practical (i'm skiing right now in the alps with 2 adults and 2 children and no need for a roof or towhook box). However, it doesn't come close my friend's model y in pure storage space. It also drives like a shoebox, and tesla's 1 pedal drive is just better.
While the support from tesla is at times really bad, this is also due to leasing companies not being onboard with tesla's full digital approach. At the same time, the support from VW group on skoda is not much better. Hyundai's support we never needed as they just don't break. BMW service is very good if your leasing pays for it. Otherwise, you are just a money milking cow.
Now, in 2 years, i need to lease again, and as long as musk is at the reigns, it will not be a tesla. Changing his ways is not enough. He needs to go and fully be out of the company management tree before i would consider tesla again
They fixed a lot in the 85. There are no issues with the screen. 4.x soft. Battery conditioning. A navigation that is trying to be a mix between tesla, google, and abrp. The interior on the L&K is high quality.
Things i don't like after just driving 1000km in it. The safety beeping stuff needs to be shut down every trip and is annoying as fuck. We were singing songs and it thought i was yawning and went full berserk nearly making me crash. This thing beeps constantly and pops up the driving laws when entering a country. Same for steering corrections. So intrusive.
The satnav does not always recognize fastchargers and does not auto condition. To be fair, tesla also has this issue. At least this offers a manual option. The seats get uncomfy after a while and the massaging function is so limited compared to my peugeot 508. The kessy keyless entry just goes bonkers every time you are near the car The profiles are really annoingly implemented and are not linkable to the connected phone so we ended up having to switch manually.
Neither regular or regen driving drives satisfactory. Regen on max drives closest to 1 pedal Throughloading for ski's etc is very narrow Heated front window works well but blocks the french telepeage emitter. My peugeot did not do this When you open the door, it cuts of the navigation and android auto
You need to be in the front seat with a car that is 'on' to condition battery while charging The back usb chargers are flimsy
