I really dislike the front of the new EV6. I’m one of those on that side of the fence. I wish they’d stuck to the current front design. Oh well, I’m now driving a new Tesla Model 3, and loving it. If I had the money, I’d get either the Ioniq 5N, or the EV6 GT (current), or the Genesis GV60 performance

AWD IONIQ 5 Limited with no rear motor noise even when just using the rear motor only. Was that a RWD thing? EV6 square themed wheels is trying to transition this from a crossover to a SUV related to the EV9. I’d ok with the DRL’s but the horizontal connecting part needs to be hidden in the day and visible only when the head lights are one. Hopefully it’ll be thin as well. If the second color of the steering wheel matched the paint I’d be ok with that or atleast compliment the seating color that also compliments the exterior color. 11:57

The ride quality in my 22 Wind AWD is much better than a model 3 (pre highland refresh). EV6 to me is a more engaging drive if you use the regen paddle shifters to change the driving dynamics. The Model 3/Y is a get in sit down, drive and forget about most of the experience. My wife has a Model Y and I have an EV6. They both have pros and cons. It comes down to what you are looking for and how you use the car. Lots of long drives? Tesla in car charging navigation is leaps and bounds better than EV6. raw charge speed (if you get a working charger) the EV6 is way faster than a model 3.

Everything is always possible regarding a software update. If it happens it likely will be done after the refresh models are out for a few months and then done quietly. This gives their salesmen the ability to say this feature is only available on the new model when they have both the new and older models in stock. They did the same thing with the ability to preheat the battery in the first year models as it was not available at all until a future software update on the AWD models since the RWD models didn't come with the ability to preheat the battery in the first year.

Just came here to say: I solved an overheating problem for my I5 - I cleaned my J1772 pins with Q-Tips (one per pin) and 90% isopropyl alcohol based on a tip I read on Reddit (the Redditor suggested cleaning them like you're brushing teeth) - please try at your own risk - but it worked perfectly for me. My I5 had started having this problem two days ago in Yosemite at a destination charger in the park. Shutting down after only 30 minutes or so, and it kept happening even after I got home. And I typically have it dialed down to 90% (36 amps) which is plenty fast for my purposes - but cleaning the pins worked! The thing charged overnight to 80% with no problems, no slowdown, nothing. It just worked.

Thanks, Corbin. Getting C3 now after finding your endorsement. Been looking at it for a while now but felt like factory HDAS was sufficient. I solved "Hands on the wheel" nagging problem by attaching half-pound wrist exercise weight to the steering wheel. But during my last 800 miles trip from Boston to Quebec I discovered that HDAS (besides usual shortcomings of not reading half-visible lane markings) would often oversteer itself crossing inner line. And I wasn't even going above speed limit. It would start beeping at me as in "you are crossing the line!" but would not correct itself. I drive 200-300 miles a week on highways so hoping C3/Sunnypilot will make my life with Ioniq 5 even more fun.
