MODEL S OWNER COMPARES HIS NEW TESLA TO THE KIA EV6, AND LIKES WHAT KIA IS DOING!

EV Channels Review

This video offers a comprehensive comparison between the Tesla Model S and the Kia EV6, as experienced by a Model S owner. The reviewer highlights the EV6's strong value proposition, praising its range, fast charging capabilities, decent UI, and overall driving quality, noting it as a strong contender if Tesla didn't exist. Key advantages of the EV6 include its native Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality (though currently software-limited in the US) and the inclusion of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, which the Model S lacks. However, the EV6's infotainment system and charging network reliability (specifically Electrify America) are noted as significant drawbacks. The Model S, while significantly more expensive, is acknowledged for its superior performance and Tesla's integrated charging ecosystem, though its controversial yoke steering, lack of CarPlay, and limited customizability are criticized. The video also touches on charging experiences, driver assistance tech, and cargo space, ultimately suggesting the EV6 offers excellent value for its price point, while the Model S excels in raw performance and ecosystem integration.
