Hyundai Ioniq 5

I dont see how there is an €8.5k gap

The Tesla has SU network which is not useful depending on your location (useless to me. Even look at the SU in south west Ireland. Tralee. What tourist goes to Tralee?? Should be Killarney)

Has heated rear seats. No use when boosters fitted

Both have some sort of autopilot. Tesla better but the promise of fsd is only that

Ioniq has fast charging in non Tesla charge points which support

Ioniq has V2L. Tesla doesnt

Tesla has all round cameras. Big bonus

Tesla has more storage

Ioniq has more comfortable seats

Tesla has better speakers

Ioniq exec plus 77 has larger range everyday non motorway than the sr tesla, which means it can only be comparable to lr. Drops drastically at high speeds and cold weather

The 0-60 speeds I presume Tesla is quicker but that is just a gimmick. Speed limits are there to be adhered to not to put other drivers in danger

Like I have said both have pros and cons. But dont try to tell me heated rear seats and steering wheel and lack of v2l and more modern look and feel make a those two comparable. You do you I guess. Maybe what I mentioned it good to you. That’s great. But don’t assume things like 0-60 speed and heated rear seats are important to all

Edit I forgot the panoramic sunroof. I have that in my other car and dont use it. So again no benefit to me

Honestly the look outside and colour of the car dont really matter to me. If I owned an MY I could easily convince myself the white version is lovely. And do same for I5. People don’t seem to understand that a car’s festires are only good if you use them and should determine what you buy, not the whole bunch of features for the price. If you dont do that you enter the investment area which is a bad idea for cars. My two cents anyway

True. But if you were about to pull the trigger it would be a huge bonus to sway your decision.

It will have big impact on Ioniq sales for sure. And future prices and sell on value

V2L is available in all specs, the top spec is the only one that comes with Hyundai adapter. But you can buy one aftermarket easily.

Yeah internal plug only in the premium plus I have it use it quite a bit. I don't like the external hyundai adapter I don't trust plugging appliances in when raining even got a magnetic sleeve to cover it.

After market is better in my opinion one has an option of waterproof plug also. Thinking about getting that sleeve with Hyundai adapter is a bit awkward.

I like the two cars, having both an i5 and a Model 3 in our family. Both cars very good in their own ways. But the software and UI of Tesla imo is at a different level. The single screen in Tesla is very simple, ok you have to look slightly to left for speedo, but it isn't straight in front of you in the Ioniq either.🙂

Stand alone ones yes but you couldn't fit ones integrated and calibrated with the parking system as a whole. Fairly sure if not fitted by Tesla may void your warranty?

I’d suggest you watch the latest YouTube video of Bjorn testing the Model Y RWD in Thailand. Efficiency was remarkable and in his words it was “Ioniq go home”. Obviously looks are the big issue with the Tesla but the Ioniq 5 is also a very love it or hate it design.

I think Bjorn's long standing joke is with the Ioniq 28kWh..

I'd be surprised if the smaller battery Tesla wasn't quicker to a 1000km than the larger battery Ioniq. Model 3 60kwh did Bjorn's test quicker than and Hyundai, K or VW. Battery size isn't everything, look at an Etron. My old Ioniq 28 probably went further 😉

I would find that very plausible and would say no competitor will come close in future, the aerodynamics alone of the Teslas (then the efficient software) mark it in a field of it's own on a long scale like that

But most people buying an EV would travel 40/50km per day (average daily commute), charge at home and a good portion would be charging off their pv

However if you were a salesman etc or on the road all day I think the Tesla is a no brainer from an efficiency pov

Subjective about the other aspects but economy alone (with recent price drops) makes it no brainer for that cohort

Efficiency is going to be more important for everyone with the way electricity prices are heading. Public charging rates have gone up so much, they’re not that far off the cost of fuelling a diesel without the convenience.

Did you have "Winter Mode" in one of the option menus? If you did then you can get the preconditioning upgrade.

@joe1303l out of curiosity what is your base case for electricity and petrol/diesel prices over say the next 5 years?
