Owner Review

An Affordable Electric Family SUV

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Tesla’s products. I’ve owned 3 so far, and have loved each of them. My dream car is my 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance Stealth Edition. When the time came to grow our family, we decided we needed to add an SUV to the garage (in addition to my Tesla). The most likely option for a Tesla fan would’ve been a Tesla Model Y; however, we struggled to justify paying the premium cost of a Model Y because we both work from home and our cars are rarely driven. Which brings us to the ID.4. The ID.4 is the perfect electric family car for our situation: it’s affordable, practical, and comfortable. The German built spec had some software issues which damaged the reputation of the car, but the newer Chattanooga-Built version addresses those concerns. I’m so glad I did my research and tested this car for myself, rather than listen to second hand opinions online. Otherwise, we would’ve missed out on this amazing electric SUV. I highly recommend it to anyone who already has a Tesla and is looking for a second car to add to the garage and wants to save some money.
