What about tesla makes you a big fan?

And now Kia is giving the $7500 rebate themselves to get more people to buy the EV9. Plus most dealers are giving an additional rebate on top of that because no one is buying them. I got my EV9 Land with $7500 Kia rebate, $500 Kia Loyalty discount, and $7000 dealer rebate bringing a $75k MSRP car down to $65k out the door (after tax/title/doc fees). Tesla Model X can't beat that.

I'm always paranoid they will run into something. They've run into my garage door tracks up above and scratched up the car, etc. They are cool in theory but in practice horrible. Same with the powered front doors, latest models only open about 2 inches then they hold on tight so it feels like you're going to break them if you need to get in quick.

One thing you didn't mention during the segment about people who can't park is the EV9 is capable of remote parking whether you are inside or outside the vehicle.

Great presentation you highlighted the benefits of both vehicles very well and while the model X is nice it just seems like the EV9 would suit our family better for road trips, especially when Kia gets NACS. Don't get me wrong, the Model X is faster, sporty, better frunk/sub trunk space, better software but 3rd row is too tight to accommodate taller passengers.

I’ve hated Kias for a few years because of their minivan, but this one definitely has some cool and nice features. Love the space and look, but the X has so much more, especially for just another $20k-$25k more. I also don’t like that the kia 7 seater is only available in the lower trims.

Why do car manufacturers keep making the headliner cream colored or gray? Like why not color match the whole car all black … I’ve seen this a lot lately when they reach the final year before the redesign of certain cars then they make it all black

@@EverydayChris Love the video. All your videos. You did a great job and covered more than I would have thought of. I was really impressed with what Kia has done, especially with their very first EV. Love some of the features, but going from the X to the Kia would be going backwards. Props to those that go straight to Kia for their first EV.

It appears that Tesla is falling short significantly comparted to its newer EV competitors. LOVE IT!!!

I would think about it if it had a longer range because it is a bigger vehicle, for a contemporary family the tesla is fine and I would think it is safer, I am not interested in being able to carry more adults, because each adult has their own car.

Nice features, but how's the dependability considering it hasn't made electric cars as long as Tesla.How will batteries hold up?

The main reason why I would buy a Tesla model X over a Kia EV9 is because of the Tesla supercharger network. The Tesla supercharger network here in New York City is ubiquitous and easy to deal with. The EV9 is stuck using Electrify America or EVgo. That is unless you have your own charger at home. Beyond charging at home I don’t feel comfortable using the public charger networks and I would prefer access to Tesla supercharger network. If charging wasn’t an issue, then I would consider the EV9 definitely for a family of four. The EV9 is comfortable and it has plenty of luxury features all around including heated/cold seats for the front and the back passengers.

Also they mark up the EV9 like crazy in my country, and no Kia connect, so 80% of the software is useless :\.

Until these EVs can access the Tesla charging network, there is no point in buying them. Not because they are bad cars, many of them are more compelling and better built than the Tesla's. It is just because the 3rd Party charging networks are not maintained as they should be. There should never be a situation where you need to get a charge only to arrive at a charge, and it is not working properly. Also, the charging speeds need to be more consistent across the board. Tesla is the only provider of a well-maintained, consistent charging infrastructure. I am bullish that will change, but that is a big problem with EV adoption from manufacturers outside of Tesla at the moment, which is why it makes sense that they are all moving to the NACS standard.

The X has some cool features but for me personally the exterior design just looks too dated. It's been time for a ground up redesign of both the Model S and Model X.

To be honest, the third row is useless for people with actual legs. you have to push the second row all the way forward to have leg room,. It's literally the same size as a Telluride - which is smaller than a Model X. the Third row only has 30" of legroom. If you have a car seat back in the third row the kids legs will be cramped and they will be kicking the crap out of the seat in front. The EV9 is literally a stretched out Kia Soul. After seeing it in person it's a hard NO for me! In videos it appears to be much larger, but in reality it's not. If you are looking for a compact SUV, then the EV9 is for you. if you want mid-size you need to look towards the Rivian R1S.

@MadLadsAnonymous

R1S is crazy expensive. Not even in the same price bracket!

I have a Tesla Model 3 Performance, but my wife has the Kia Carnival. We love that minivan as we have three kids. She got the top of the line with all digital screens including the second row screens. To be honest, those screens are not really worth it, our kids always want to use their tablets as they have all their games and videos there. After 2 years, the 2nd row screens are becoming a bit obsolete. When we are done paying our cars (we got them at the same time on 2022 and we have about 3 to 4 years to go), I will be getting either a new Model 3 Performance, or, if the budget permits, the Model S Plaid (crossing fingers). But for my wife, she loves Kia, so we will probably be getting either the EV9 or maybe an EV mini van if they have it available by then. As long the range is at least 400 miles, we will be looking into it. Hopefully in 3 to 4 years new batteries will provide 400 miles or more of range. And I'm sure the next cars after those will be using solid state batteries if they end up being successful. Those should give at least 600 to 800 miles of range and charge extremely quick (I read they will be able to add around 300 miles in less than 5 minutes on level 4 chargers). And even better, they don't have issues with extreme temperatures so no more dead EVs when it is freezing cold. Looking forward for the future!!!

Test drove both and KIA is not even in the same league as Model X. Comfort , handling , autopilot, ease to use , Model X is still the best choice, although it is not for everyone . Different families have different priorities KIA is a better buy if you frequently use 3rd row. No need to argue, buy whatever you want. We ordered a Model X.

Will be 27k in less than 25000 miles

Tesla does not have the best self driving, GM has taken that top spot
