Thanks for the welcome all! I'll look forward to sharing in the ownership and driving experience!
I recently moved to Germany from the UK where my daily commuter was an EV, so this is a 180 degree change for me. However, like others have posted, I see an opportunity to enjoy the Grenadier exploring the Continent (Allgau, Dolomites, Pyrenees, the beaches of Galicia, etc) unhindered by conditions. And, unlike my previous pattern of swapping into a new vehicle every 3 years or so, I foresee owning the Grenadier for the next 30 years and passing it on to my children. So a different tack, but my wife and I are at that stage in life where we can, perhaps, be a little less practically-minded and embrace some adventurism. Especially when public transport here offers a realistic alternative to defaulting to the car. This has been my calculus - hopefully it plays out and we get to enjoy the Grenadier soon.
Cheers!
