BMW iX 50/60 - Kids are older now, but I give up the split tail gate
Polestar 3 - It's $1000/m and only for a year

In a very distant 4th and 5th and 6th
Lucid Gravity Touring - I'm really not sure about beta testing for Lucid for a car that I need to just work
VW ID Buzz - 26k off nuff said - but the depreciation on this thing is going to be absolutely mental.
Rivan R1T - it's 145k for base + options and it really doesn't fit in my garage all that well.

But what am I overlooking?
If you are considering a German hybrid SUV, have you thought about Mercedes and Porsche?
