Overall good, but the little things are annoying

First I will start with saying the estimated range is a fabrication. I’ve never even gotten the 220 they claim with ac on. Charging is unacceptably slow compared to almost every other vehicle, even at super chargers! The AC waits to turn on, and I live in Florida, so I’m forced to pay for the remote start via app. But the most egregious issue is how you must put the car in one petal driving, EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE IT. It takes 4, yes FOUR, manual process to do this and it doesn’t remember it in driver memory. (Horrible). But, it is smooth, plenty fast and comfortable ride. Luckily I chose to lease, as the technology has already changed.

Subaru Solterra misreports mile range on odometer

I had a bad experience recently buying and it was claimed that the Solterra can travel 303 miles on a fully charged battery without climate control. The odometer also displays 303 miles though somewhere in the owners manual it says that the mileage may be around 220. I filed a complaint with BBB of NJ against Subaru of America but they could not care less despite my being a Subaru owner for 40 years. However, the dealership acted very responsibly and allowed me to trade the Solterra for an Outback.

It’s got so many bells and whistles, it’s fast af, handles and drives great, lots of range (270 miles) charges per fast while I’m grocery shopping

I am just 6”, 300 lbs, and I had a tough time getting into the car. Nice when in, but my Crosstrek has much more space. Must be Toyota influence as Subaru has always made a large opening for people.

I love Subaru this is my 3rd one I've now owned. Besides the Symmetrical AWD nothing about this car is a Subaru. I've always been impressed with the quality and reliability of Subarus. It seems like they cut corners on this car to get it to market. Rated for 75kwh charging,I've never once seen my speeds pass 50. Charging is painfully slow even at CCS level3s. The range is completely inaccurate. Below 50 degrees out my max range drops down to 200 miles with no climate control on. No preconditioning for the battery. So you legit have to wait for it to cool down or your "fast charging" will stop at about 18kwh. Touch screen and android auto are extremely inconsistent. Eco mode is a joke it does absolutely nothing. Good speed, good handling, interior is comfortable. As a standard car it would be a 5 star. Everything that makes it an EV is subpar. Very disappointed Subaru released this before it was ready to compete with the market. They also cheaped out on the NA model batteries. If I had to do it over again I honestly would not buy this car. This car should have absolutely been a plug in hybrid. Subaru needs to start releasing updates or issuing recalls to fix these issues or they're going to lose lifetime customers, like myself. Update:Still not happy with the car. Very cheaply made. The plastic molding on the bottom flops around, the front hood doesnt meet up flush with the rest of the car. One of the speaker covers on the dash sits flush the other doesnt. Still absolutely no updates have been released to improve charging or range. I contacted Subaru about updates or upgrading the cheap batteries they put in the 23s and was told " all my concerns have been address in the new model year" so basically buy a new car was their solution? Not to mention they charged me 50k for this car and 2 years later it's in the 30s. Tanked my value. Cold weather charging is absolutely horrendous. Even at level 2s in warm weather the charge rate never goes about 7 amps. The longer I have this car and Subaru does nothing to fix the issues the more I hate it. My next electric or hybrid vehicle will absolutely not be a Subaru. The buy a new car response, when Chevy is out here upgrading whole battery packs, really turned me off to Subaru as a company. They could care less about the quality of the car their customers are buying. Very disappointed in the brand as a whole.
