For months now I’ve been torn between buying a Model Y and buying one of Hyundai’s Ioniq models. Today I pulled the trigger and bought my first EV, an Ioniq 6 SEL. Overall I just felt like I was getting more car for the same price. I’m absolutely blown away at how much Hyundai has turned their brand around compared to 5 years ago. The 5 year 60k mile bumper to bumper and the 10/100k battery with two years free charging and 3 years free maintenance is what ultimately sold me. But dang if those Tesla seats aren’t the most comfortable things in the world.

    I’m not a fan of the aesthetics, but from what I can tell Hyundai and Kia have their head in the game when it comes to EVs. Likely will be a great purchase for you.

    Personally I’m in love with the Ioniq 5’s design

      I really think the 5 looks great. It’s got that futuristic look. I however don’t like the center console area in them. I would’ve got one if I could’ve got the rebate live I did the 6

        Our household is actually my Tesla Model 3 and my wife’s Ioniq 5.

        While I wouldn’t trade my model 3 for anything, I also like driving my wife’s car. I love my minimalist interior, and the overall look of the car. I don’t like suvs and crossovers in general, which is why no MY for me either. Wife test drove like six different EVs. The Ioniq she liked best and we found a screaming deal on one at a Volvo dealership.

        My next car doesn’t have to be a Tesla, but it certainly will not be a gas car ever again. We rode in an Ioniq 6 in Vegas Uber and it looked great too.
