MOD's. I posted this in General Gassing but thought it should go here too. Hope that's ok?

I had a quick look at the Zeekr 001 in a showroom close to where I live. At first glance, I thought it was just another mini-SUV but they're marketing it as a fastback coupe (hatchback) and in the metal I'd agree that's probably a good description. I like it, especially the interior which has a good quality feel to it with 'nice to the touch' materials everywhere.

I'm not sure how they're able to justify the servicing schedule (Tesla's have no service intervals) and the base model isn't the quickest of BEV's (the Performance model is probably on par with others). My only other gripe would be the wheel options. They're far too fussy for IMO. Why they can't offer a nice simple classy wheel, if only as an option, is beyond me.

They're available to order in a few countries in Europe and will be coming to the UK in 2025 as far as I'm aware.
