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.
Most of my non-home charging takes place in Massachusetts or NY, with a little in Maine, and I haven’t had any of these problems people complain about. Then I have to charge in NH or VT and I am reluctantly forced to admit that things would be easier in a Tesla.
Walmarts and malls are a blessing when driving a non-Tesla.
