I'm not sure I'm excited about any cars coming out even though I'm a car nut through and through. I tend to be mildly disappointed when the rubber hits the road, so to speak. However, I am curious about a few:

Corvette C8 Zo6.
Jeep Recon EV.
A VW bus EV that's outfitted like a Eurovan weekender, but I sort of made this one up.

VW has verified the "California Edition" for the Buzz, so you may get what you're asking for. They haven't necessarily said exactly what it will have but early indications are that it'll be a weekender/camping oriented variant.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. The updated Eurovan has been elusive (in the U.S. market at least) so I'll believe it when I see it.

I really want to know about the Wolf from Alpha Motors. They have such cool vaporware!

Agreed. They might be the coolest of all the vaporware!

CyberTruck. 1000 kw charging. Heat pump. Love the yoke on the Model S. Working automatic tonneau cover.

Range, frunk capacity, etc., remains to be seen.
Don’t forget bulletproof windows (not ball bearing proof) and boat like abilities**
**for short distances

I'll be more surprised if the Gravity happens on schedule than if it doesn't.

I’m with you there. All three of the vehicles I mentioned will likely be delayed (again).

Fortunately, I do have faith that my R1S will deliver next year.

The Macan EV. I have one more year before I’ll most likely be trading in my Audi and my wife will need a new daily.

Surprised not to see mention of the EQG yet. Then again, I almost bought an 80s ex-military G instead of the R1T, because there is a deep conflict in my soul over technology.

I’m half way considering the EX90 Volvo. Smaller than R1S but potential to be better equipped and more comfortable for on the road travels.

Unfortunately, most of the EV’s are 6 figures. R1S is too if you don’t have pre-March pricing. Hoping Volvo can hit their target without dealer mark ups around 80K. If they can’t, I’ll get the R1S or another Model Y.

Have an earlier order of Cybertruck but it looks to be rather larger and I’ve grown accustomed to the smaller vehicle. Drove a full-size GMC and it was a PITA usually around town. Not a huge deal but not as easy as a Model Y.

Rivian still sketches me out. Many Rivian employees own Tesla’s which I think says something.

I think VW pushed back the platform that the Macan is sitting on quite a bit...

For me:
Kia EV9
Volvo EX90
the two GM trucks.
Cautiously optimistic that Ford will kick out something unique with this second EV truck that they have hinted at.

If Ford would just make an EV Maverick already they’d sell like crazy I think.

What do you mean by pushed back? As in delayed? I thought it was supposed to come out next year.
