I took delivery on 2025 base model with convienence and comfort package on 11/25/24.
Aside from no printed owners manual I have had now problems to speak about. Any other 2025 owners out there and how are you doing.
Previously I owned a 2019 E Kona for 2 years so I am a some experience owning an E car.
One item on the Kona that I would like to see on the Equinox is the locking charge cord. I will be a little nervous about leaving the car for hours knowing that some vandal could simply walk off with the cord. How do others feel about this? Any other comments?

No printed owner's manual? So you have to access it online? So what do you do if you need to look up something and you don't have your phone handy? That sounds like it would be a deal-killer for me.

Download the manual onto your computer. Attach phone to computer with cord. Download manual onto your phone. Or, just download and save it on your phone. :)
 
So like I said, if you're somehow caught without your phone (and yes, it does happen), you're screwed. No thanks.

Can you put the manual on an old phone that you can leave in your EV?

The only thing I need from the online manual for my Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid are tips on using the nav system. I've printed out a nav tip-sheet I keep in the car. I find that interpreting the manual into the way I think helps me learn the system and gives me exactly what I need for the once or twice a year when I use the nav system.
 
Recently switched from much loved Kona to 2025 Equinox LT. Loving the Equinox more, lol.

I just printed the owners manual and it lives in a binder in the trunk. As for locking the charge cord I do what I did on the Kona: loop the cord through something solid and padlock it.
