Are you asking me? I want a passenger vehicle that will transport up to four adults comfortably on a road trip as well as people be able to bring luggage or such with them. Folding seats and the ability to carry more cargo is also important. Towing 4,000 lbs and being AWD are some other features I like having.

No one is delivering an electric AWD station wagon. VW says it will (ID Space Vizzion) and maybe Volvo will also (XC60 EV or XC90 EV), but currently they do not. I have been looking at them, but I have not seen any dates for release or customer unit shipping...

If Subaru announced in the next three years an Outback with 300+ mile range with CCS charging, the same interior space/towing capacity, and cost within $10k of the price I bought the last Outback for, then I would get this EV Outback. I would get a refund for my deposit on the Cybertruck.
