Also saw two GMC Denali EVs when we were down in the bay over the weekend.

Or an Escalade IQ or Polestar 3.

Also a lot of EV9s. Two brand new in the lot in the last couple weeks.

Pt 11. I suppose that's all I can think of right now, but I know there's more. Feel free to reply with any questions.

Pt 10. I wish the Ioniq 6 had a hatch like the Polestar 2 instead of a trunk, but I guess that just means we'll be using the EV6 more often for big loads.

Pt 9. I think the only sedan I've ever sat in that had more rear seat legroom than the Ioniq 6 was a Lucid Air. It's miles better than the Polestar which is somewhat expected since the Polestar 2 sits on an ICE CUV platform.

Pt 8. Another aspect I can't assess is the snow/ice capabilities. My awd Polestar was an absolute beast on non studded winter tires. I've never felt more planted on snow and ice. We've had neither of those things since I've had the Ioniq or even my rwd Polestar.

Pt 7. I havnt needed any work for the Ioniq, but I know I'm going to miss the 5 star treatment I got from Polestar Portland. It's simply the difference between a volume brand and a luxury brand. I'm still in touch with the local Polestar owner though and plan to still be involved with them.

Pt 6. The efficiency is hard to judge at this point. My last Polestar was rwd with a bigger battery and I only had it during warmer weather. My Ioniq is awd and it's been damn cold since I got it. It would be unfair to compare, but I will say my battery range now feels lower than ever.

Pt 5. The level 2 autonomy is acceptable in both vehicles, but I give the edge to the Ioniq. Mainly because I don't have to jerk the wheel and can keep my hands off for longer. In slower traffic it's completely hands free. You can just sit and look at your phone in stop and go.

Pt 4. The software in the Polestars remains superior to every car I've ever owned. Definitely a step down in the Hyundai and basically being forced to use wired android auto sucks. The range guess o meter in the Ioniq isn't very good whereas the Polestars were unbelievably accurate.

Pt 3. I love the regen paddles! EVERY EV SHOULD OFFER THEM! Not only do they make driving more engaging, but they're also safer when you want to switch between regen settings for maximum efficiency. Thank you Hyundai Group for sticking with them!

Pt 2. I've seen commercials, reviews, and owners saying how well the Polestar 2 handles and is fun to drive. They all must have the performance package I never had because I never felt that way about it. The Ioniq is WAAAAY more fun to drive than any of the other 6 EVs we've owned.

Pt 1. The first thing I should mention is that my lease is 24 months and is over $200 less than I was paying for my first Polestar 2 and over $100 less than my second. Insurance is also a hair lower.

Experts agree that Teslas are fckn GARBAGE. Luckily, other EV manufacturers are quickly learning from their terrible designs.
