Now, or in September 2022? At the time I bought my EV6, the Model Y had an MSRP of $66k. My Model 3 I cancelled had an invoiced price of $56k. My EV6 was around $52k as I recall. I'm not sure where you're getting that list from. (Perhaps you are looking at the "Light" trim, not the "Wind" trim) Kia has an app that allows me remote access (perhaps you're expecting a dedicated app; the Kia app is used for multiple models). It has a full suite of assisted driving, as most manufacturers do, that Tesla includes in "autopilot" (lane keep, adaptive cruise control, autobraking, etc). The seats are heated and cooled, and the steering wheel is heated. It has a power liftgate. The EV6 is available with a sunroof, but it has less headroom, so I opted for the version without. There's features I wish the EV6 had, some that Tesla has, some that other vehicles like my wife's ID.4 has.

This was about 2 months ago in New Zealand. For some reason they don't have app or driver assist here. Yes all the features are available for even more $$$. Prices as of today in NZD: EV6 Air RWD 76,990 Tesla Model Y SR RWD 71,400

  Looks like the trims are different; looking at the Kia NZ website, my model is closer to the Earth trim, which is listed at $99k NZD. I would agree the base Model Y is a better value than the base EV6, but once you start moving up the trim levels, it's not as mismatched. According to this article, last summer the prices were closer (I assume it was a similar situation to the US, where EVs were hard to find due to demand) https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/129019916/price-increases-for-tesla-and-kia-evs https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/129019916/price-increases-f... Obviously I'm not familiar with pricing dynamics of NZ, like tariffs, tax incentives, or the role that the dealer network plays in influences prices.

    Yes Model Y price drops are very recent hence it's such a deal. One more thing I forgot - base Air doesn't even have leather seats (not that I like Tesla's vegan leather). For incentives - we do get $7100 rebate which doesn't even cover GST you pay for car, but it's something.
