I was really hoping so, but the local dealers price both the Kia and Hundai above the Model Y.😢

@@tony39572 Stupid dealer mark ups.

As a Tesla owner, I'd love to see these cars become a huge success.

@@tony39572 thats what im seeing too

That's right

It also coincides with the pixel design in the lights and elsewhere on the vehicle. Hence the dots being squares.

That'll be great for blind drivers!

@@gordon4385 I think you're mixing it up with braille, morse is not designed for blind people 😀

The Model 3 will go down in history as one of the most efficient four-door sedans ever built!

@@GM-qh2ki With poor build quality, overtly spacious interior due to strict minimalist approach, and aging exterior design.

How are you liking your Model 3? I’m in the market

I have SEL and love it. I use white screen. It looks cool. My passengers love white screen.

Congrats on the EV6! I am excited to test one

Thank you!

@ Jose… Your comment about when “prices normalize” (and I assume you mean, go down) intrigued me. Have new car prices ever gone down? Turns out, they have. I found a site that lists the percentage of increase/decrease in new car prices, from 1935 to 2022, 87 years. Of those 87 years, 23 have seen prices go down on new cars. Almost all those reductions have been less than 1% - several were a very small fraction of 1%. 1955 was the biggest drop at around 3.5%. The years right after WW2 were the biggest increases, with 1947 at nearly 50%. In one year! Followed by +9% each year in ‘48 and ‘49. I do hope prices “normalize” and that EVs become more affordable - and abundant. Both new and used. All the best, Jose!

The MYLR is $58,990

You must be outside the US. It isn’t that much here

@@Gjeebs I am in US 60,900 is the cheapest you can scale this.

Ioniq 5 awd 0-60mph in 4.7s according to edmunds and 4.4s according to motortrend.

@@meugzy correct

That’s sweet! Congrats on the IONIQ!

Thank you! And yes I agree. I am working on taking more B roll so when I mention something I can show it. Thank you for the feedback

It's not a first attempt - Ioniq and Kona are great EVs too. Especially in efficiency.

@@RezzaBuh Thanks for this.

there is no comparison in ride quality. ioniq is very BMWish

@@socalsp3 And there's no comparison to the Model Y.

The Ioniq 5 is a car that has manual buttons for a lot of stuff, but not for the most used features in a cold climate, namely the heated seats. You have to press a physical button, then press up on the seat in the screen. Then, after you have done that, you have to press down if you want it on medium. THat is 3 button presses in 3 different locations! . I really, really hated that. And here in Norway, voice controls doesn't work, it costs as much as the Model Y, has a lot less cargo space, no frunk, the warranty is pretty much the same, services costs a lot more on the Hyundai and the maps are the worst ones I have seen in a car the last 12 years (well, Toyota is right up there as well. Try to look around on the map, and it will suddenly change direction, because it thinks the car has changed direction. That is while you are not centered on the car. It also only showed the main roads unless you were zoomed in a lot. If you zoom in a lot you have no idea where you are, if you zoom out you can't see the roads and have no idea where you are. It also couldn't plan a trip with charging. Like at all.... The Hyndai has Android Auto and CarPlay, but only with a cable that has to be connected down near your feet. Without a center console that goes between ,that cable is bound to hook into your right foot at one point. The center console also offers almost no space to store stuff, compared to the Model Y. I did like the open feel though, even if it was made it feel like a van. The shader for the sun roof is also fantastic, and the seats are really, really good. They even have leg support. Never seen that in a car before. Had the Hyundai been at least 12 500 dollars cheaper than the Model Y here, then I could probably have lived with all the things that was nagging me. Then again, the ID4 has the same tax grant in the US? It pretty much does everything the ioniq 5 does, just better (except seats) and is more comfortable than both (still, cargo space is limited here as well)

Think about resale value for Hyundai!!!!

Cargo space, being able to plan routes with charging, having a functional map, not having 1 physical button and 2 different places to press on the touch screen for heated seats, frunk, more space in the cabin (the open van solution takes away pretty much all of that in the Ioniq 5) as well as not having to press so god damn many times on the screen for every little thing and being able to see my speed without moving my whole body or taking of my sunglasses, is what made me choose the Model Y. Given that the Ioniq 5 has a longer delivery date and the same price (here at least) for the same trim, then it wasn't hard to choose. The Ioniq 5 has many positive sides though. Also, the unique look is a great selling point (though they are everywhere here. Been one of the most sold cars the past months)

@@jayaprakashbalakrishnan8575 Other Hyundai/Kia models are selling for over new-car MSRP for 2 year old cars. We just bought a Telluride, a used one was over $60k.

Yea when I drove across the country it was incredibly relaxing and I was far less fatigued. The standard auto pilot is enough for me

The ionic does exactly the same

Oh nice! I tried to use it but couldn’t get it to work

You can also use voice control to turn on seat warmers. Theres also a dedicated button for seat warmers

Good info. Thank you!

I've been on the fence. I love the Ionic 5 style, utility, comfort and drive. But I am still concerned about the battery fire issues

hahaha I realized that in editing

Yea that’s just bs

but dealer does give 7500$ off from MSRP. If I may Ask how much did you pay out of door price? I am getting for 45K in New Jersey with state incentives and all

The mark ups are out of control. I prefer the visibility and interior of the ioniq5, but the skeezy dealer behavior is pushing me toward the MY despite the higher cost

Yea that’s my only complaint. But there is about 30 miles beyond 0%

Glad you found it!

You forgot how fugly the model y is

@@andresmattos7541 looks nice, ioniq looks like it's trying to tell people it's electric.

Not sure yet!

Not everyone qualifies for the 7500 incentive

@@Gjeebs Just about everyone qualifies for at least part of it. I checked yesterday and we would probably get a $5K federal tax incentive and $2.5k state tax incentive. That’s significant which you did mention. BTW I thought it was a pretty fair overview of the two options.👍

It's mainly because of the fact that Tesla is making their cars with a software-centric approach. Tesla is investing their energy and time mostly in improving the technology of the car and less in the car itself. The non-Tesla EV car makers are mostly traditional car makers. In their approach, software is one of the main components of the car, but it's not everything. Because of this focus shift, Tesla is not really bothered much about the quality issues and "actual car features". Unfortunately, the demand is giving them a false feeling that people don't care much about the actual car, they need more software bells & whistles. Unless they wake up and treat the car as a car first - you won't stop seeing those quality issues. So, in a way, it becomes easy for them to displace Tesla from the leadership spot soon.

I have experienced zero fit and finish issues with my 2021 MYLR. However, the AC malfunctioned from the get-go and the wheel alignment was way off. Both were fixed within the first two weeks of ownership. My primary beef with the MY is the ride, which is quite harsh.

Hyundai hands down beats the model y in build quality and warranty. 100K miles or 10 years on battery, motors and charging. 50k bumper to bumper, 5 year free roadside assistance, 2 years free charging, 7 years preforation. Peace of mind

Morse code

@@dalerr18 Autocorrect error. That’s obvious.

@@JohnLee-db9zt Right.

Yes the Tesla does sit higher but weirdly the IONIQ 5 has better visibility in blind spots and out the back. Tesla is better out the front

Yeah, and the kona ev is awesome. Happy to see their follow up is even more awesome

That’s awesome! Congrats

does the Ioniq 5 retain the traditional windshield wiper controls on the right wand?

Agree

Would just add that EA charging network sucks so bad. Took delivery on my Y Performance 3 weeks ago.

No, it is on next years taxes and as long as you paid more than $7500 in federal taxes it would reduce your taxes by that $7500 (so you would get that much back if you don't owe taxes when you file).

@@whattheschmidt Thanks! That’s better than I thought.

its a credit. which means it comes off the taxes you owe directly 1:1. owe 50K, now you owe 42.5K. a deduction reduces your taxable income.

And some states and counties offer additional rebates, typically in cash. In California add another potential $2,750 in rebate savings issued as checks, for a total discount of $10,250 for most people.
