OT: EV daily driver Purchase Options Options

[flipb]

I'm likely to replace my DD within the next year and it will definitely be another BEV. Would love to get some input from the hivemind on the options and perhaps on the timing, given that purchase/lease incentives are likely to be changing in 2025. I'll want something that can seat 4 adults comfortably, decent cargo storage, and at least 250mi range, 300+ would be nice. V2L would also be a nice thing as backup for power outages at home. I'm not too concerned with fast charging speeds as 99% will be L2 charging in my garage. Not likely to spend extra for a "performance" model as the 914 scratches that itch.

A few of the cars that are in the consideration set:

1. Tesla Model 3 / Model Y -- Tesla is still well ahead of the competition on software and charging network. The latest Model 3 supposedly drives really well and certainly seems like a bargain. My Model S has unlimited Supercharging for life -- if they opened up another window to transfer that benefit (as they did in late 2023), it would be hard to resist.

2. Hyundai Ionic 5 / Kia EV6 / Genesis GV60 -- of these, I really like the Genesis the best but it's hard to justify the price. (Maybe pre-owned?) They all offer V2L and check a lot of the core requirements. We've had good experiences with Hyundai/Kia products over the past 20 years (my wife currently drives a Palisade).

3. Honda Prologue -- although it's a badge-engineered GM product, it's got better interior and features than its twins. And the lease deals right now are insane -- $250/mo for one that's very well-equipped.

Thoughts on these and other options (BMW EVs?) and purchase timing?

(If you'd like to share with me why you think EVs/EV buyers are dumb, feel free to do so via DM. I'd like to keep this thread on-topic about purchase considerations.)

Forgot I'd begun this thread last year. Thought I'd provide the follow-up. I picked up a Polestar 4 last month. Interesting that Polestar wasn't even on my radar a year ago.

In some ways it's similar to the Model S that it replaced: Same general shape, fairly mature software, RWD (I got the single motor), glass roof, few physical controls (for better or worse), designed for 99% single-pedal driving

Different from the Model S: Higher off the ground (good thing for enter/exit my steep driveway), way more solid-feeling build quality (not entirely a fair comparison, my Tesla was a 2013), more 3rd-party-friendly software (Google Maps integrated, good Apple Carplay, can install dozens of apps including Waze)

I'm enjoying it so far. Biggest complaints are the sensors & automatic low-speed braking are too hair-trigger, and the "go" pedal is programmed for very gentle acceleration; Tesla was more linear and easier to modulate. Sound system is excellent.

Oh and the elephant: It has no rear window. Rear "mirror" is a camera system. I don't love this setup but it wasn't a deal-breaker; everything else was so close to what I was looking for.
