Hi Sam/Shanna, thanks for the update. For those who have never helped nurse someone and are “critical” in the comments, life goes on, I’m 100% sure Sam/ Shanna and family have shed tears and fears but Sam needs to keep his welfare and mental health up to be strong to care for his family!! Please stop negative crap and keep it real..
Man, that Zeeker is a beauty. The interior is lovely and functional. I'm a Tesla fan, but it makes me think someday Tesla may have to abandon its minimalist approach to compete at the high-end, especially when FSD turns your car into a living room. BTW, the car hauler in the tunnel when you were on the phone with Shanna was an Omen. Take it from an old world traveller. Never ignore an omen. It's a message.
I am very impressed with the Zeekr X! Great to hear that you got to drive it and see it on a truck, which is very cool. Hopefully Shanna recovers soon!
Yeah the car is nice but more importantly prayers for Shana for a full recovery soon! You’re a good man Sam! Say strong and know that we’re all here if in prayer for your family, bro!
we will take delivery in 2 weeks , wait is selling our SUV to a relative and install wall charger , Volvo did not want to give us much for SUV , but Relative will, delays actually was 3 people involved in selling SUV. Next week hopefully everything is final and the installed window tinting . we are getting Beige exterior , grey interior , dual motor - 1.35 m thb or 38,000 usd converted.
First and foremost wishing you and your wife all the best in overcoming this terrible disease and truly hope all will be good after the treatment. You’re truly a great Man taking care of your lady giving her power to help her overcome the disease. I watch your video regarding the ZEEKR 001, your excitement talking about that car got me going, I do not sense that same excitement when you speak of the X. I understand there are many reasons of course. After all what could possibly match the looks of the 001. So considering that, I will sit back and wait for the 001 to come to Thailand. You sold me on that car. Thank you.
A quick thought: Let's rally around Sam and Shanna by visiting The Electric Viking Shop and picking up something you like. They’ve got some really cool merchandise, and if you find something that speaks to you, it's a win-win-you benefit, and it directly supports Sam and Shanna during this challenging time. I just picked up an Electric Viking cap-perfect for my bad hair days! Every little bit helps, and together, we can show them that they're not alone in this journey.
What you’ll struggle with is finding space for Shanna’s wheelchair, when she’ll need one. I test drove an X a few weeks ago and it wouldn’t fit my mum’s walker, I’d need to fold half (1/3) of the rear seat and you’ve got your two boys so you’ll need the full width of the rear seat. Also there was no frunk space other than able to fit the charging cables. Loved the head-up display and that you also had an instrument cluster in front of the driver. The single pedal driving was also hampered by only having two settings. One setting didn’t brake enough to rely on as a brake function and the second setting braked too much. So unlike the Tesla where I can comfortably forget about the brake pedal, I didn’t feel comfortable doing that in the Zeeker X. Also parked next to the X model was the Zeeker 001 on the showroom floor, which was very luxurious, the X felt down market in comparison. I’ve never been in a Volvo XC 30 so I can’t compare the two.
Having had a $30k repair for my Tesla MY and live in Newcastle. Only one certified Tesla repairer in Newcastle to the Qld boarder..I’d like to understand Zeekr’s service and repair set up’s prior to committing. FYI - BYD have a service centre in Cardiff Newcastle with their sales room.. seeing what the infrastructure is for Zeekr would be interesting
NRMA insurance, front end suspension steering plus panels.. only one certified location in Newcastle.. the won’t touch BYD as parts etc aren’t readily available etc
Praying for a quick recovery for Shanna. You're a great husband and father Sam! Zeekr X is really nice, but the 7X is better. I agree that the charging speed should be better on the X but still a great car. Another upgrade I think would be nice is to see it with the Aegis battery.
All the best for u, Sam and Shanny. Really hope she is doing well, GBU.. Lucky u guys can order zeekr x there in Australia. We don't know when zeekr entered the Indonesian market.. I'm still waiting, tempted to go for BYD, particularly MPeV BYD M6, only as little as AUD 40k, with bunch of specs. But... ohhhh zeekr
Lane cove tunnel First exit takes you to Epping Road, North Ryde?? Main thing is Geely have plenty of experience in Australia already, so they won't be doing any trial and error like BYD did, that didn't have experience in the Australian market. As far as I've been told the right-hand drive versions that come to Australia are going to have the newer version battery and drive trains than what's on offer right now. All the best for Shanna's health hope everything goes well.
Love all the new technology in this Awesome looking car! Shanna would be happy to drive this car . Many positive healing to your family and she will feel better soon ! 😉💖🚙💖💯👍🌏✌️
I just wanted to say Thank you for the update. ALL the best to Shanna and you. I hope Shanna recovers soon! And Yes Sam If you can afford it get the Zeekr X for Shanna. Love the Pine Green. 😀
Things made in Australia are far too expensive, not only on the labour content but also because of the poor productivity rate. Cheaper to import than set up local facilities to manufacture.
Our previous conservative government pretty much told the motor industry to go away which they did. As a result we have no motor manufacturing industry at all.
Hi Sam. How is Shannah doing? Our church in Wellingborough (now changed its name from Gleneagles to: North Wellingborough Anglican Church) is still praying for her on a regular weekly basis. Hope she is okay and fighting fit. Kind regards. Colin.
Thanks for the update about Shanna and I hope that treatment goes well. Definitely consider getting her the car if she likes it, but don't deplete your finances in case she needs expensive treatment overseas.
Looks fantastic Sam, congratulations. Imagine if a brand like Zeekr were able to buy the Holden brand for Australia? Tesla need to lift their game a bit, HUD would be great.
Thoughts with Shana in these very hard times. If she wants it, just get it, a no brainer in the grand scheme - for the amount of positive publicity Zeeker get on Electric Viking for the right reasons, they should bloody well give you one! Don’t forget to look after yourself too 😎
I don't see it as a direct competitor being a size smaller, it also doesn't sound like it will be cheaper than the Model Y, but certainly a good option though.
This model in Europe is €48.000 and they have quote: "10 years of free service coverage and 10 years of Premium Connected Services, along with our standard 5+5 years warranty". How is it going to be in Australia?
Those prices make it a great alternative to our Tesla Y. I don't get how the range on its 66kWh battery is just 440km when Tesla can claim the 62kWh battery in its model Y will get 533km range. I think it would be a great car for Shanna and many others (I want one now!).
Rear space looks smaller than Model Y, sacrifice space for rear design! Charging network will be the real game changer, until having fast charging time comparable to ICE, at least!!
It's nice - too small for my purposes but well laid out. Back door openings looked tiny so not a great family car IMO - a struggle to get the kids in and out of car seats but if we compare it directly with the EX30 it's more than comparable and hopefully without the software issues. I think it's a bit expensive for the size without the brand name of Volvo but evrryone wants an SUV even if it's just a tall hatchback.
He EV! Do you consider also post purchase experience, availability of repair centers, technical help, etc before buying a car, or do you just look at the price?
The post office once tried to recycle mail that couldn’t be delivered. The recycling company wanted the post office to remove the plastic window on the envelope and remove the staples from the magazine. The post office said that it would be too expensive and labor intensive.
The best solar company in Australia just installed my new solar system.

Looks like a dream, Sam. Cheers and good on ya.
Here in Russia they have been selling them for almost a year now, unofficial dealers. I think it is the most beautiful EV in the compact class.

Thanks! 👍
Great looking car and I agree that the green is an awesome colour. We intend to purchase our first EV soon so will definitely check out this one.
Here in Mexico, the zeekr x AWD cost 48k usd . As for reference, the Seal AWD is 49k usd.

and they didn't write it off!?
@@Jayeffhi surprisingly no, great repair as well, and two new wheels..
@@Iann0400soo insurance covered it ? You make it sound like you had to pay 30k out of pocket
Cheers mate take care of the family man
Congrats on the car. Your wife will love driving it everywhere when she’s cured!

Thank you so much!
Good idea for Shanny, Viking
Well done
Love the colour
Thanks Mate!
Good on you mate! 👍
Greetings from Norway. 🇳🇴
Nice hope they come to the UK
They need better planning in the unveiling ceremony. They need to fire their event organizers in Australia.
Feels a little "run by a graduate" does it? I guess they have very little money for promotion on the ground here.
It's amazing that Australia doesn't have any foreign or domestic EV factories.
Things made in Australia are far too expensive, not only on the labour content but also because of the poor productivity rate. Cheaper to import than set up local facilities to manufacture.

Nice work Sam, would also love to see Zeekr expand their fast charging network outside of China soon 😀 Blood impressive tech, Tesla can't keep up.
Drove New Tesla Model 3!! Wow!! Great Car-- $36,500 Delivered w $7500 IRA EV credit.... Can't wait for Model Y REFRESH!!
Looking forward to a video of her beaming and driving around with the kiddos. Her brilliant body will kick this!
Looks like a nice car. Praying for Shanna and the family, enjoy every day as it comes.
Thanks so much
She’ll love it Sam
Thanks Mate!
Thanks for the update about Shanna and I hope that treatment goes well.
Definitely consider getting her the car if she likes it, but don't deplete your finances in case she needs expensive treatment overseas.
Looks like a better EV package against its sibling Ex30, the Zeekr X is indeed premium.
Sam, this will be a.delight to your wife and the family, congrats!
Good job EV! She will love it.
very sporty design should be matched with some brighter colours.
Yes, its one I would buy.
Prayed for Shanny and for you and family Sam.
Hopefully Zeekre bring the 001~ My 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 For Shanny..
great car, get if for her!
Looks fantastic Sam, congratulations. Imagine if a brand like Zeekr were able to buy the Holden brand for Australia? Tesla need to lift their game a bit, HUD would be great.
Good stuff. This is such a great car man

Don’t forget to look after yourself too 😎
Why the Zx and not the Xpend C6 after you spoke so well about the C6
Cheers Allan
Congrats and very nice EV. This thing can best a Model Y.

How is it going to be in Australia?
Awesome. Best wishes❤❤❤
Thanks a lot 😊
Your appearance fits well for Monkey King character!
Prayers for Shanna, you, and your family.
Thanks Mate!
Yess Shanna would love it if you can afford it mate
Al the best for Shanna.
Very nice ev, I like a deep dive into wireless Chargers for home, street, etc...
Very nice review Sam. This would be nice with Tesla's FSD on it. I really like the usefulness of a SUV.
the top car on the trailer.. I'm pretty nervous looking at it.. looks like it's about to hit everything on the ceiling of that tunnel. lol
Great!!! Bbbest news I heard all day tytyty u ROK mate
U keep doin cool ass sht like this an Shanna might jus start diggin u Mate HA
Thanks Mate!
“COINCIDENCE, if traced back far enough back, becomes inevitable.” >Hineu
Think she be very comfortable using it 😍
BYD U9 has just set a track speed of 375km/hr.
Hello - what is the ANCAP rating!?
Looking forward to the 7x review and pricing.
Zeekr is so sleek and cost effective.
恭喜恭喜，希望你得到优惠价
NMC YAWN! Next…
you are lucky😀😀😀
most of Australia house internal cable only can handle 7 kw so any higher not necessary
That kind of range equals around 12.1kW/100km. Is it going to be that efficient??
Speedy recovery for Shanny
Those prices make it a great alternative to our Tesla Y. I don't get how the range on its 66kWh battery is just 440km when Tesla can claim the 62kWh battery in its model Y will get 533km range. I think it would be a great car for Shanna and many others (I want one now!).

Tesla to discount prices even more? I wonder if the new EV prices will drop rather than increase over the next few months?
Hope Shanna heals, this is her car!
here in europe the AC charging is 22kw on all versions of the X and 150KW DC
I prefer the zeekr 001
Neerav Bhatt asked them about the range, it was NEDC. They said WLTP is similar to the EU stats.
He EV! Do you consider also post purchase experience, availability of repair centers, technical help, etc before buying a car, or do you just look at the price?

My cat's breath smells like catfood.
@@alexishart1989 I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time
In Singapore, it cost 200k for the basic model... blessings to those who need not pay such prices for an EV.
The top selling premium evs in China are all 35 percent or more ,better than Volvo?
I want the Zeekr X but it’s not available in North America.
Very nice, but I’ll order one when charging is under 10 mins and 800km range, so I can do an 80% charge
Probably less than 2 years away
The China trip has changed your perspective and videos lately, what did happened over there?
Feel like I’ve heard you order like a dozen cars since this channel started.
How many cars you got bro?
Published spec states AC charging is 22kw, which if I recall is what was mentioned in Melbourne?
Why did you order the Zeekr X when you favored the Xpeng G6 over the Moel Y so much?
Are you taking that video with your phone while driving?
Looks like you are getting the old model in Australia - FYI. Many features are missing.
