Our Kia EV6 (similar platform) has been great, besides its 12V flooded battery once going flat and disabling the vehicle.

The EV6 has a big touchscreen, a touch screen for combined media/climate controls, capacitive buttons for seat heat and steering wheel heat. However, many of the controls are available as physical buttons as well.

The EV6 is the other car I've been thinking about, actually. I'm going to need to test-drive both some weekend we're not busy with the work on the new house.
We have an EV6 and love it.

So, ... house project? Also starting a house project. Is there some forum other than youtube for self builders?

I've had one since late 2022, best car I've owned. Unfortunately most EV6 owners do end up replacing the 12V (myself included).

The capacitive controls are only on the GT Line trim; the Wind has physical controls for those button.

12v battery issues have disabled teslas too. When dead, some cars have 12v wires behind a trim panel to power the car to open the hood or a door.
