Have had my ix for about 5 days now and it is fantastic. Am replacing a Tesla S. Here are a few observations.
1. Ride quality is wonderful, so much better than my Tesla. Not that impressed with adaptive regeneration though. Tried all 3 modes and just not much regeneration. Way less than the tesla. Only thing that comes close is the B mode which is more than the tesla. Did manual adjustments which do improve it some. Interestingly when fully charged it says 350 miles. Will have to see actually charging. Have used EA chargers twice now and no problems. Seems as fast as tesla charger. Acceleration is also impressive- no need to have M60 for me, the trade-off on mileage for me isn't worth it.
2. Have Harmon Kardon stereo and I think it is great. I am somewhat of an audiophile and have a B and W surround sound system at home and also have 802 speakers for another room. It obviously doesn't have the same bass woofers, but for a car not sure I need that. I just didn't think I needed to spend another $3400 for a car stereo and I am very happy with the clarity- I increased the bass setting a bit and I think the HK is really good.
3. The driver assist is not nearly as good as the Tesla autopilot. The lane keeping frequently overcompensates and goes over into other lane. It might be getting better but still an issue and I can't figure out yet how to get the lane change to work, it seems to cancel assisted driving when I try.
4. Heads up display is amazing as is the augmented reality navigation through the main display. Really high quality!
5. Seat massage is adequate but not great. My wife's mercedes is way better.
6. Seats are fine, but not a comfortable as I expected from what I read. Still keep adjusting to try to get perfect position. I got the leather which l think looks great. Was worried the castenea chestnut would be too red, but it isn't. Very happy with color.
7. can't figure out radiant heating as there is no switch. Going to call genius about this and other questions.
Overall really happy with car. Way nicer than the Tesla
