Additional Notes
|
Other features include a powered tailgate, eight speakers and sentry mode.
“Flying” is a trim name, and many listings online still describe the older first-generation Flying (405 km CLTC, 38.88 kWh, front-wheel drive). The figures above are for the new car.
Weights and the ADAS pack are from filings covering the whole range, not Flying alone. |
