I'd consider buying it off him if he wants. Any idea which one he ordered?

Why do you like it?

Most people actually hate it. The problem is simply that they don't work that great. Very finnicky stuff that works whenever it wants, and you get shafted if you have to replace the windshield. I'd rather have the manual control ones; I mean, are we really that lazy to manually control a knob?

That said, he hit the charging station in Hope, another in Merritt, and was able to park right in front of his hotel leaving his X plugged in overnight.

It's a pretty amazing vehicle though. I was really impressed with it's tech, fit, and finish.

Watched bits of the video.

I still don't like how the front looks.

And is the door popper mechanical or electrical?

Otherwise, looks solid. Can be a pretty good commuter if you have your own garage and charger set up.

Both. There is a fail safe mechanical mechanism near the drivers door handle if the electrical button fails. Not sure if there is one on every door though.

It looks like the 3's handles are completely mechanical in the video
