Hello, Just trying to gain some perspective here as I was at both dealers today and for the first time laid eyes and touched the interior of both the Ioniq 5 and ID4 and I was greatly disappointed with the interior quality of the Ioniq 5 in terms of material choices. Don’t get me wrong, I think the Ioniq looks good, tech is good, and specs are good. It’s pretty much scratchy hard plastic everywhere, even in high touch areas like door armrests. In contrast I checked out 2 ID4s afterwards and was pretty much “blown” away with the materials used - when having just seen the Ioniq 5.
Is this normal? EVs aren’t cheap vehicles and I understand the big part of cost are the electrical components like the battery, but the interior quality alone is greatly steering me towards an ID4 instead of the Ioniq 5… Along with an apparent 3 year wait for the Ioniq 5 AWD in Canada.
Own a Tesla model Y here, and yah, shared gen2 super chargers kinda suck, but now it’s mostly all Gen3 I land on, and ughhh yah. I end up with more charge than I need to go home by the time I go pee and grab a drink and a snack.
I seriously imagine the people who were excited about 800v are peeing in bottles while driving 3000 miles a day.
Yea, I stopped at a 250kw supercharger yesterday. Tesla likes to route you to an older 150kw unit in this area for some reason. The 250 is newer and has way more stalls. The 150kw was also more expensive. The 150kw is closer to the route so I’m sure that’s why.
Anyway, I stopped to get some lunch before I started charging. I was ready to resume my trip before I finished my cheeseburger. Granted, I wasn’t on a super long trip so I just needed to add about 20% but it only took maybe 5 minutes.
