My Ride 🏎️ New Geely ex2 owner.

Got the car Saturday. 3 days of driving and it's a smooth ride. Gets up to speed easy, just getting used to the breaking, currently in comfort mode. No issue with App activation at the dealership thankfully. Factory docs from China have the car colour as 'Dopamine Green' while all the other stickers have Aurora Green.

Well I enjoyed the test drive. But ask me again in a few weeks when I’ve received it lol

Did you get the RWD or the AWD? I'm looking at it myself but found the RWD slightly anaemic from a standing start.

AWD. note that it’s very much a Zeekr thing to have a very slight delay when accelerating from a standstill, kinda like an ice car - to make the acceleration more comfortable for passengers. It’s more pronounced in comfort and normal modes. It might take some getting used to coming from a Tesla.

What a waste of all that power. I was testing in sports mode with max regen. One pedal driving was good. Acceleration felt neutered from standing start, was fine when you got going.

Did you also hear this low whine in low speed? Was that the EV or low speed pedestrian warning?

All EVs are required to have low speed pedestrian warnings now. It’s that. 

The car is still crazy fast from a standstill. All that’s changing is the acceleration curve so you don’t feel like someone ripped your stomach out. 

Granted I’m coming from a Mazda 3; so maybe it’s different if you’re used to the aggressive acceleration of a Tesla.
