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.
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.
