Oh yeah canāt believe I didnāt mention Hyundai. They are doing a great job.
The Kia EV6 is not too bad either. Same platform as the Hyundai.

I was going to test drive one but the only one I saw had a $10,000 market adjustment on it, so that made it a hard no.
Probably going to buy the ioniq 5 this week.
I love the look of that.
But I am still frustrated that these vehicles arenāt really available, and certainly arenāt price competitive yet. Not even close. Even with the overheated market on ICE cars inflating their prices (here is your telluride with a 20k markup).

Ended up buying the ioniq and it Is a really fun car to drive. Couldnāt disagree with nwa more about it being a soulless driving experience

Man how in the hell did you get one? I was told it would be a 12 month wait.
Congrats!
No motor sound no shifting no exhaust note = soulless. It might be nice and a great experience but I have yet to drive an ev that conjured up any attachment. Tesla, BMW Honda - all felt like I was riding in a appliance vs a connection to the vehicle and road. You canāt replicate the feeling of a v8 whirling or the turbo sucking in air. Glad you like it, itās your car. ill avoid them as I can. A computer doing the driving for me isnāt what I want.
The car he got isnāt self driving.
No but EVs take care of a lot of the driving for the driver and most are just a software update from self driving. Hell most modern ICEs do a lot of the driving for you too. I hate automatics, I donāt really like SUVs. I canāt wait To get the wife one. But Iāll probably go to my grave hating driving them. Thatās just me though. Rest of the world can embrace them all they want. Iāll just drive a 50 year old car when Iām 90 
Itāll do 80% if the driving for me if I want. Typing this as the car steers for me now. Itās not as advanced as Tesla, but on relatively straight roads I donāt have to do anything. It doesnāt handle tight curves well and makes me steer.
I ask this genuinely, why the hell are you in this thread? Seriously. Half your posts read like youāre having a stroke, and the other half read like a grumpy old man screaming that the automobile is a fad, the horse buggy is here to stay. I get it, you donāt like EVs. Thats fine. I donāt like ICE cars, but Iām not hanging out in the ICE car thread going off about how shitty your crappy gas car is. To each his own, we all like different things. But maybe instead of clogging this thread with your posts that make you look like a dementia riddled old crank, go have a drink and yell at the neighborhood kids to get off your lawn or whatever is you do for fun, assuming you know what fun is. Jesus.

Nice. What color did you get? I havenāt found one that really looks great to me. Theyāre all kinda meh online. Maybe better in person?
Cyber gray
Looks whiter there than it actually is.
It seems to get a lot of looks when I drive around.

It looks fantastic man. If it were a little bigger in the back Iād buy one in a heartbeat. It has everything else I need. But not great for hauling around my dog and all the familyās crap for vacation.
I like it so far. Ready for my house to be done so I can charge at home. Fortunately have this charger at my complex for a reasonable price, but itās still more than home charging would cost.
It comes with 2 years of free fast charging in the electrify america system though.
