If the ioniq 5 only had one non configurable regen setting like Teslas, then I would agree with you. Which is why there are no 'regen' settings videos for Tesla and not too many range tip videos for Teslas. However, the Ioniq 5 has multiple regen settings plus the ability to coast with no regen. It also has the ability to disconnect the front motor provided you understand how the drive modes and regen settings work together/can override each other. All of these things if used correctly can definitely increase range, quite significantly might I add on the highway. If used incorrectly your range will suffer. Imagine driving a steady 70 mph with both motors active for 2 hours straight when you could have done that entire drive using a single motor. Also fun fact, my Tesla model y gets better efficiency on the highway than city driving. Quite the opposite of the ioniq 5 which sees efficiency drop like a rock on the highway.

AdSense decides on the ads, I'm not setting it. Which issues have been resolved??? More and more 12v batteries dying each day, FB group has new posts every day about it. Service appts near me are on avg still 30-60 days out. Bluelink is still unreliable and glitchy, per usual. I have the same app run by Blue Link for my gv60 and it's ridiculously bad. It's a cool car that I enjoyed but the purpose of the channel is to share the good and the bad. Hyundai has not fixed any of those 3 issues.

I've had all sorts of cars: Honda, Acura, Audi, Benz, Nissan, Infiniti, Mini, Volvo, Genesis and Tesla. In terms of fit and finish I never had any major nitpicks with any of them. Tesla had the most misaligned panel gaps but they fixed all of them to my satisfaction within 2 days. Hyundai had 1.5 years and about 7 attempts but they couldn't fix one single misaligned trunk panel. I've never had any cars under warranty where the manufacturer couldn't fix things within 1-2 visits. Hyundai/Genesis has been the outlier. I've taken things in 4, 5, 6 times even and they just can't get it right. Some of it is manufacturing issues where the actual hardware/software design is faulty. The other part is the dealerships not knowing how to properly fix things. I do think my Genesis GV60 is built beautifully. Very very good build quality but the servicing is still an issue as stated above.

Haha still a good EV that I'm happy I had the chance to own. I wouldn't tell anyone not to get one, but just be aware that the servicing is poor :)

That bigger battery should really help get the ioniq 5 closer to the 300 mile range mark. Still won't quite get there with AWD doing 70mph but I think it'll get around 270-280 miles which is still decent range. Haha lots of people are also waiting for that wiper.

@@CarsJubilee 60 is the speed limit here, so 300 is going to happen.

Nice! It's 55 here on my local high highway but once I hit the toll roads it goes up to 70. I was getting around 280-290 going around 55-60mph so no doubt you will get 300 if you stick to that speed with the updated bigger battery.

Ya the aero on the ioniq 6 is very impressive, if I didn't need or want AWD I would be very interested in the RWD ioniq 6.

Really? I love the paddles and regen system. I don't like my foot being stuck on the pedal at all times, especially when I want to just coast.

If you hold it, you get max regen which is the same as ipedal

No problem!

Both are good options. How much more cargo room do you need? In terms of interior space for occupants it's pretty close, both are spacious. In terms of cargo room, model y wins by a landslide thanks to the cavernous sub trunk and much bigger and easier to use frunk. I use the subtrunk and frunk every day. I rarely opened the ioniq 5 frunk and that subtrunk was barely a subtrunk at all. So if you need max cargo room the model y really does it best. I've really enjoyed the model y, tons of cargo space, excellent software and tech/app, and I easily get over 300 miles of highway range at 70mph. Ioniq 5 has the smoother ride and some extras like ventilated seats, automatic roof shade and of course the head turning looks. I also love the regen paddles. But going 70mph it's probably seeing 240-250 miles at best and just doesn't have the crazy cargo capacity of the model y. Both are good EVs, I might lean towards the Y for you if cargo space is the primary concern. Otherwise comes down to preferences like more range vs extra creature comforts.

@@CarsJubilee Thanks so much. First off, I’ve come from mid-sized SUVs (MDX, RX350, X5) and so I was fooling myself getting the Ionic 6. I’m a new homeowner so I find my self at IKEA and Home Depot a lot. The cargo space would help tremendously. I think the model Y would perfect for that. But I love the seats in the Ionic and having the knobs etc. plus it seems like a better build to me - don’t have much experience on Tesla so thanks for helping out. Before the value of my Ionic 6 gets any lower, I need to act. Thanks again

You're welcome! Haha I completely understand, we had an XC60 and XC90 before jumping into these EVs. The Model Y is smaller than my XC90 but holds more cargo, it's pretty crazy how much you can fit in. Build quality does feel better with the Ioniq 5 but it's not immune to squeaks and rattles either. It may come down to each specific car and whether the previous owner had all the squeaks and rattles serviced away for both cars. If it was built well and serviced right, the model y can feel just about on par with the ioniq 5 in build quality so your test drive will matter a lot. Make sure to drive them down some bumpy roads haha. If it's within budget, most people including me have had really good experiences with 2023 and newer Model y. There's more sound insulation by 2023 and it just feels like the factories have finally figured out how to build solid cars. That's too bad about the ioniq 6 not quite being enough space, very very cool looking car haha

Toyota and Honda 2 years ago did not have an EV on the market. They do now but the Toyota bz4x is quite lackluster while the Honda prologue is actually a Chevy blazer EV that's been reskinned. I still find the Hyundai group EVs to be more appealing options than the Toyota Honda counterparts.

Yes that's what we ended up doing and Hyundai bought it back.

Can you seat a family and luggage in your AMC? Can you do the 1/4 mile in 11 seconds in your AMC? Can you drive 1000 miles a month for roughly $60 bucks in your AMC?

@andrewmcmillan8110 AMC is an engine type. I can pack an entire house in this vehicle. I drive through blizzards on a regular basis. I can drive up the side of a mountain. My engine typically is running for 18 hours a day non-stop. $60? That price tag is temporary. Supply and demand. The more people who buy electric cars the more money you are going to pay to charge yours. The average repair bill on the electric car is roughly $30,000. If it can be repaired and that is a big if it turns out . The most extreme repair bill on my vehicle would be $6,000.

@@bryanshoemaker6120 sounds like you have a vehicle with an engine that suits you. My EV suits me just fine and saves lots of money on gas compared to my truck and my wife’s car. I just have the added benefit of 0-60 in 3.1 seconds. I also have a widebody turbo LS foxbody if I want to take out. The best part about the EV is I can depreciate it for my business so it costs me next to nothing. I also have a stupid long bumper to bumper warranty so nothing will come out of my pocket for repairs.

@andrewmcmillan8110 I'm sure somebody could make a good EV but nobody's making any good gasoline vehicles at the moment. 20,000 replace a heater core on a Land Rover. Suburban, $20 plastic part with a $4,000 repair bill. The new F-150. A little bit of moisture got into the tail light lens which then cause a systemic crash. It starts with your windows not rolling down. Slowly over a week other systems starts crashing and then your entire truck is dead. 40,000 repair bill. Just a little bit of moisture. My 1976 American Clipper has a thick layer of moss growing on the fuse box. It don't care. I'm not Ev hater although anybody thinks that they're going to save the planet by driving an electric vehicle is delusional. For the millions in my area it's about survivability. If you break down there is no calling AAA, no 911. If your vehicle breaks down then there is a very high probability of death. Half of the summer there is no electricity due to Fire and half of the winter there's no electricity due to blizzards. That's if you even have a power grid. I'm off grid. The most popular vehicles here are the 1996 Cherokee and Grand Cherokee both with the AMC 242 and there was a lot of various 70s with the 440 under the hood. Both are well known for survivability. The newer vehicles are such a problem that we are literally scouring the entire country for key vehicles, completely broken down even. We are spending many thousands, tens thousands of dollars rebuilding these things.

I got Hyundai to buy it back so no loss taken.

Ya I would have loved to try elsewhere to compare but they were the only local dealer within 1 hour drive that offered loaner vehicles during service. My car was in service for about 90 days total, we needed loaners.

No because the front motor adds weight so the car is heavier than the rear wheel drive model

Car is charged to 100%. The BMS says it's only charged to 96.5% but that's the battery buffer built in, to protect the battery from true full charges. The car screens say 100% and it will not let you charge any more than that.

@@CarsJubilee Sorry was just joking, about how many times you said 100%. Good video.

Hahah ah all good
