Anyone out there drive an Ioniq 5? I’m looking at it for my next car and need to gather opinions both good and bad. If you have thoughts you wanna share please let me know. Thx!

@gedeonm personally I prefer the look of the ev6 over the ioniq but what’s under them is the same. Strong acceleration and nice features. The only thing I’ve heard is battery replacement should it be damaged is ridiculous, as in nearly 100% of the vehicle price.

@gedeonm Feel free to reach out to Steven Frank who has one! You know the address.

@gedeonm you’ve gotten a ton of responses but i’ll add: i thought fast charging was a sales gimmick after i bought mine last april because 150kw chargers were rare in san diego and 350kw nonexistent and also i charged at home for the first three months and could get by on 110. when i had to move and had a significantly larger commute(50-100mi/day depending) i ended up seeking out every 350kw charger because after a long day the ~20min 12-80% charge was nice and i appreciated being able to peace out quickly and get back home. if you can L2 charge at home it doesn’t really make a difference but if you’re using electrify america or whatever and there’s a wait, it’s nice to not spend more time there than you need. oh also, the michelin tires that came with mine had this noise insulating foam that detached at 12k miles causing the wheel to wobble unsettlingly and various speeds. it can be removed but it really is a weird failure. beyond that i love the car, just wanted to share

@nsfmc Wow that’s really helpful. In the entire 3 years I’ve leased my Y I’ve always just trickle charged it at home. I go on road trips rarely and I have no commute (I work at home). I’m apprehensive about losing the Tesla supercharger network however. :-/

@gedeonm yeah, similar wfh deal here. in practice i’ve been ok with the number of chargers out in the wild (which have increased _a lot_ since i got it), but i think i would be less stoked on the car during this “commute era” if i had to spend more than 30 mins charging to get back to 80/90%. like i said, big fan of the ioniq5, in this specific “months of commuting” scenario im mostly glad i didn’t get a slower charging car like the id4 i briefly considered (im sure its a great car but seeing it plugged into a 350 charger makes me die a little each time). glad to add color to any decision you make!
