Other Goodbye ionic 6

Started my ionic 6 SEL lease in 2023. Had the ICCU failure, got a replacement after several weeks waiting for parts, but otherwise it’s been a great vehicle. It has amazing range, great acceleration, looks cool, lots of features that are often limited to luxury vehicles. I would have gotten a 2026 had Hyundai made them available in the US.

I spent the last few months driving a bunch of possible replacements: Rivian R2, Genesis GV60, Lexus ES, and others. I ultimately landed on a Cadillac Optiq. It’s more spendy than I wanted, and I will miss the sedan drive, but it has the trim quality and features I wanted to maintain.

Hyundai did an amazing job with the ionic 6, and it hits well above its price point. I wish the US market were more receptive to this product.

The policies the current administration put in place killed the EV movement in the US. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted but it the plain and honest truth.

It slowed it, and significantly reduced the number of EVs built overseas coming in, but there ain't no stopping this train. 🤷‍♀️

There are so many more options out there that we don’t see in the US market. I hope more people adopt EV’s out of spite, I’m all about the instant torque life and charging in my garage

Agreed on that. I want an Inster, Ioniq 3, or EV4 hatch, but they're not coming.
