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 wasn’t a Tesla hater, but I felt I couldn’t compromise on the things I didn’t like about the MY, like the spartan interior, reputation for build quality duds, etc.

    I test drove a ton of other EVs, but as it turns out price is a hugely important factor and ultimately the tax credit + charging network + recent price cuts won me over. I got over the flaws pretty quickly.

    The EV6 came the closest to making me go in another direction though.

      …you didn’t realize this when going into the buying process?
