so i was away a few days and had a rav4 rental. i got back today to drive my ioniq 5 back from the airport to home. aaaahhhhhhhh... the rav 4 not only hard archaic and horrible controls, but under any load the noise from the engine was just bad. cruising at highway speeds it was pretty quiet but i could still hear a quiet engine drone. when i got back to my ioniq, the silence was wonderful. 
You like quiet but come here?

ha, well only my typing is noisy.
sounds like bay's wife has already decided.

Next time!
MB and VW get access to Tesla Superchargers in February finally. Kinda interesting that Ford gave everybody a free adapter and MB is making them buy them. Cars require a dealer system update before they will work too.

My free Ford-supplied adapter was made by Tesla. It's a quality piece of kit. Ford are also supplying Lectron-manufactured adapters now. I already had an A2Z adapter which I bought while waiting for the Ford-provided adapter to show up. It's also a well-made adapter.

I like the look.
this comes to mind.
anyways. There appears to be more to just the exterior. Bigger battery. Tires and a rear wiper
Front tow hooks…
Even tundra doesn’t have those.
‘this interior is very nice. Outstanding. Like everything is logical. Makes sense. Perfect blend of screen and buttons. Well done Hyundai.
I like the look with no H logo. Cool identity here
the door design is a little meh, no rugged. Too feminine
Only flaw, the glass roof is fixed.
Ionic 5 is cute little car. Love the design.
60 series tires
