    2 Model Y or Ioniq 5?

    I have had an Ioniq 5 for two months and I love it. I have the limited AWD though. Previously had an S, which I sold because it was extremely unreliable and I was over it. The I5 is very quiet, and the ride is smooth and solid. The car is still very zippy, especially in sport mode. But...

    Thoughts after test driving Ioniq 5 from a Model 3 LR owner...

    I bought both the TeslaTap (40 amp) and the Lectron and could never get the Lectron to work. No problems with the Teslatap. Returned the Lectron. Just FYI. I have a normal Tesla home charger (Gen 2). Also, you're going to love your Ioniq 5!

    Sold my Model S, bought an Ioniq 5

    Hi sckor, I only tried the adaptive cruise/autopilot on a divided highway, so can't comment. I was hovering for sure, because I had some of the phantom braking in my S (although I had radar). This car has radar too. Ioniq did very well with merging traffic from the right, coming up on...

    I test drove Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL RWD (short review)

    2021, but pre-refresh. So took delivery in October, 2020. Had it 15 months.

    Sold my Model S, bought an Ioniq 5

    Finally home and got to spend the day playing with the car. Better than Tesla: Spacious feeling in front seats. Luxury touches (HUD, ventilated seats, 360 camera view, hooks to hang my jacket) Quiet. Adjustable regen braking options. Blind spot warning (I know many Teslas now have this...

    Well, I bought one. Let me know if you have any questions. Coming from a Model S. Better than Tesla: Spacious feeling in front seats. Luxury touches (HUD, ventilated seats, 360 camera view, hooks to hang my jacket) Quiet. Adjustable regen braking options. Blind spot warning (I know many...

    Sold my Model S, bought an Ioniq 5

    You are welcome...I will definitely give you more thoughts when I actually get to drive it again. I have two more days on this trip (flew, didn't drive), and then really looking forward to spending some time putting it through it's paces. In the meantime, I am watching the videos trying to...

    Sold my Model S, bought an Ioniq 5

    Hi, original poster here. After my final trip to the Service center (which turned into three trips to the service center, and included the car dying at the stoplight two blocks from the service center.. and a tow that the police made me pay for and for which I am still waiting for...

    Sold my Model S, bought an Ioniq 5

    The Model S was my dream car and I had 15 months of great fun. Thank you, Tesla, for converting me to electric vehicles. I would have kept it forever, but the most reliable thing about if was that it was in the service center every six weeks. I just couldn't take it anymore. (My sister...

    Refresh Model S's do have hooks, but prior refresh do not. There were a few years you could buy and aftermarket hook you could put on the seat back, but then they changed the seats and my version doesn't allow for that. So value your hooks! Haha!

    I test drove Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL RWD (short review)

    I drove an SE AWD today and I was very impressed. I've been looking for another car, and don't want another Tesla, but do need to have that EV zip/happy to drive feeling. I was really happy with the Ioniq 5's quickness and handling. This was the low end trim, but was very comfortable...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Yes, I've replaced mine twice to date. Both in the last three months. I've owned the car 15 months. Mobile fixed once, took it in to service the second time (actually it happened after being serviced for something else so I turned around and went back).

    Back end slipping/strange for some owners

    Yes, this was happening to me in the late fall, as I backed out of my driveway where I have to make a sharp turn so the steering wheel is fully turned. We didn't have snow or bad conditions yet. It happened probably a half dozen times and I was starting to be concerned. It had not happened...

    Strange behavior with Voice Control

    What was the update with this? My model S is doing the same thing.
