When are you going fully electric?

Unfortunately it doesn’t, it makes it worse.

The reason is that you inevitably touch it as you’re trying to find the window switch anyway, and then you have to find it again to switch it back to the front windows

It's a touch sensitive button beneath the actual window switch? OK I concede.

Above I think, so you brush it as you move your fingers down to the switch :/

It’s funny the things that make you dismiss a car as an option. I dismissed the ID4 as an option because of this silly feature. I won’t entertain a Tesla because of the utterly laughably cheap interior design… it’s a steering wheel stuck to a plank. Well that and I detest Elon Musk. I also dismissed the Polestar 2 because it has only 1 accessible cup holder.

Efficiency and charging speeds mean nothing to me when choosing an EV. Same for how sporty and fast it is. But delete the indicator stalk and I’m not interested in what you have for sale.

Polestar 2 owner here - a quick session with a 3D printer added 5 cup holders to my car. All available to buy or you can just download the designs if you have access to a printer…

Or do what we did and get a C40 instead. A lot more practicality in a smaller footprint car.

I keep hear people whinging about the window switch situation - but I really prefer it. In the Merc I am constantly hitting the rear window buttons instead of front because of how its laid out. This would remove that problem entirely, in lieu of the minor/non existant issue of having to press another button to crack the rear open.

Literally kept doing the same in a Porsche Taycan.

P*2 being delivered today here

Wondered if you had anymore detail or pictures on the cup holders? Didn't like that the cup holder on them is pretty much where your arm wants to be from memory

All that terrible window switchery aside I do still quite fancy an ID Buzz for my sins. Shame I missed the lease deal

There are these for the door bins:

and you can get a single one that fits over the glove box:

I’d also recommend the organiser shelves for the centre console space
