I hope I’m not being too difficult here, but can you share what institution and whether it’s been approved by the appropriate IRB? Just saying “academic” seems awfully vague.

Not only that, but I cross shopped BMW, Mercedes, Polestar and Kia and Kia lost on price :o

These were my reasons too. I also love the torque and just how elegant they feel.

My polestar has physical buttons for pretty much everything important (aside from HVAC but even there defrosters have physical buttons, and the temp/seat heating is permanently on the bottom of the screen).
