If only the TNGA platform offered 20-30kWh more, the E-Outback would be really compelling
Agreed. I generally like the Trailseeker, but its battery seems way too small.
It’s pretty efficient, too actually! But attach a trailer or put anything on the roof, and the small battery and slowish charging become real limits. Camping and winter driving are also big factors for these vehicles.
It still is a very promising product, I hope it will improve further, its platform came a long way but is not there yet.
Yeah I have a 1.5 hour freeway drive to our weekend ski area and we use a low profile roof box on a crosstrek and get about 26-27 mpg.
Without the roof box and snow tires it gets 31-32 mpg. So I lose at least 15%.
It’s often between -10 to +15°F as well. I don’t think I could make it round trip in the winter. At least with the skis on the roof.
As of last season there was no charging at the mountain. There was a regular Deplorean and one Lightning in the parking lot, but I’m pretty sure the Lightning guy was local.
Side note. The parking lot is probably 40% Subarus. Never seen a B4Xwhatever there.
My mach e gt has similar quoted range, and i find it perfectly adequate. I know subaru owners take their dogs on camping trips every single weekend, but i didnt realize the camp sites were all 2 hours from home.
