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.
Good choice.
For everyone going on about the supercharger network, remember it’s been opened up to other manufacturers, so everyone will be using you superchargers now.
One is an SUV and the other is a Sedan. Didn’t seem like form factor was much of a decision in that process
yeah i seriously dont want a sedan so . . . hmm.
Congratulations the Ioniq has been voted as best ev.
Sorry I don’t have a source.
Ew, Tesla seats are the worst!
Good choice! I would way rather have the Ioniq than the model y… but I would take a golf cart over a model y.
Congrats, OP!
I would personally go with a Tesla, but if I had to select an EV from a legacy company, the Hyundai/Kia offerings are among the least offensive.
It sounds like you made the right selection fro you, which is all that matters. Enjoy your new EV!

The Ioniq 6 is a beautiful car but unfortunately after the frustration of dealing with my local Hyundai dealership over minor issues on my last two Hyundais I am ready to try another brand.
I wish Hyundai sold those at competitive prices here in Europe. But for 70 grand and I can a Volvo.
I have two reasons why I’d buy a Tesla over any other EV. Sentry mode (and the fact that the cameras record everything around you as you drive so accidents are easy to prove who’s at fault) and the fact that Kia and Hyundia went with blinking brake lights and not separate amber indicators. Everywhere else in the world they’re amber but US models get the blinking brake light. Oh, and I don’t like key fobs. I don’t see the point. Get in, touch the brake pedal to start the car and go.
They haven’t turned their dealerships around, still feels like walking into a sketchy used car lot that just wants to run your credit.

Out of all the things to praise Tesla for, seat comfort is probably last on the list. In all of my test drives, the ride quality is so rough for something so expensive.
It’s funny, a lot of people are saying that, but I am tall and thin so I kinda sunk into the S and X I sat in at the dealer and it was nice. To this day though the most comfortable seats I’ve ever sat in was a 2017 Dodge Journey.
Make sure you check it has had all of the 12v issues fixed. A guy at work has one and it’s been in the shop 8 times with 12v issues 🙈
What’re the pros n cons of it compared to say a basic model 3 or y? Other than the seats of course haha
Good question.
So as a dad storage space is big for me. The Y has a ton of storage. Tesla obviously is also known for being big in the autopilot market and the cars have a lot of fun features like the dog mode thing and changing the horn, etc.
Then on the other side Tesla only had 6 months of free supercharging, the warranty wasn’t as good, and lately a lot of people I know who own Teslas are complaining about quality control issues. Tesla also seems to be moving toward a subscription based process for a lot of the extra features on their cars and I’m tired of having everything be subscription based these days.
Those are some of the things, hope that helps
Sorry for the loss.
