The other thing is the screen keeps adjusting to the light by dimming and brightening itself, which can be a bit distracting. The Y does the same thing, but it completely unnoticeable. That's the issue with having a white background. It's probably something fixable.
This happens a lot on the Polestar too but the transition happens very quickly.

I've had good PAK experience with the Polestar (probably jinxed it now). I'm using an iPhone, if that matters.

I was able to pair my phone with the Polestar as well, but it's not "seamless". To be able to drive, I have to launch the app and click on the "Manage" icon. With the Tesla, I don't have to do anything, just walk up to the car. Occasionally when the app is upgraded, I have to re-launch it, but than it works fine
it will only do steering correction if you've pressed the lower left button on the right steering wheel pad. (which has to be done every time you start the car if you want it on)
otherwise, it shouldn't be doing steering correction.
my ioniq never beeps unless i'm really sloppy and drifting into another lane, but that's only if i HAVEN'T pressed that button above, otherwise it keeps me in the lane.
never noticed any issue with screen dimming.
(queue typical tech support question ) did you apply the october software update? it will come OTA eventually i think but it's huge so i just did it with a flash drive from update.hyundai.com. infon changes here: https://update.hyundai.com/US/EN/upd...iceView/GnwBK4

and i have mine on dark theme always.
It may have been lane correcting as it may have thought I was crossing into the side lane. I keep auto steer off
No, haven't done the update yet. Maybe this weekend

One other setting I found really cool in the Ioniq is the display of the dual motor usage. The Ioniq 5 (like the Model 3 and Y dual motor variants) only uses the front motor when needed and disconnects it when not. At take-off it will utilize the front motor, when you need additional power, when it detects it needs additional traction, and when using regen

i think that's backwards... the ioniq 5/6 and tesla 3/y are all rwd vehicles by default, so a rear motor would be used unless front wheel traction is needed as well. works great.

You'd think so but EVs are weird. The EQS only powers the front motor when cruising below 45 or 50. Cruising at 50 or above and it cruises with only the rear motor. Starting from a stop and turns are always RWD or AWD though.

then i don't know which motor is driving which wheels on my car because when i pull away the display shows rwd being propelled with front being powered when i accelerate.

It's rwd biased. Front motor only comes on when you need it, both model 3/Y and Ioniq 5/6. You can actually hear the slight hum from the front motor in Y when it comes on. EQS seems to do things slightly differently.
Polestar on the other hand powers both motors full time. At least 2021 through 2023 MY

Ok now I realize I misread your earlier post thanks. Glad we're on the same page.
Went back to driving my Y today, and the Model Y and Ioniq 5 couldn't be more different cars. And not in a bad way. The Ioniq 5 like the Y is cutting edge tech, just implemented differently. Someone like my wife who is not very tech savvy can just get in it and with a very little direction just drive it. The Model Y is not complicated to drive at all, but someone coming from a traditional car can easily get confused with just seeing a screen in the middle of the dash. The two cars also drive completely different, with the Ioniq 5 geared more towards comfort and road isolation, while the Y is more performance oriented. Being a bit lower to the ground than the Y, it's a little quieter on the hwy, but it doesn't feel as quick. At 320 hp and 446 ft-lbs of torque, it's quick enough!
In the handling area, I feel the Model Y does a better job. It feels extremely competent throwing it into a curve or corner, even though it's a big heavy SUV. The Ioniq 5's nannies are a bit too intrusive, for my liking, but they probably save a lot of lives!
In the seating category, both are comfortable, with the Ioniq having a bit more comfortable seats, and better bolstered front seats. Also the Ioniq has cooled seats, although I never use this feature, and with pre-cooling, I never will, so don't really care about that. The back seats in both vehicles are very comfortable, but the Y wins when it comes to roominess, storage space, and overall trunk space. The Ioniq has this weird storage area in the middle of the front area that's just bizarre. It's way too deep to be useful, as you would end up tearing your rotator cuff trying to reach in there. There are two usb-c ports down there, and again, trying to reach them is a big task, something you just set and forget
Overall, I'm happy with both cars, as each has its own unique strengths. And my wife loves the car, which is all that really counts. I think Hyundai would really give Tesla the run for its money if it wasn't hindered by s h i t t y dealership networks. Give me the option to buy one directly from Hyundai, I would have no issues replacing this in two years with another Hyundai

enjoyed your post!

since i tend to have quite a bit of work gear in my ioniq, i am unlikely to be throwing it into curves anyway (to avoid stuff flying everywhere).
if i want handling, i'll go for the LC500 like i did today.

you know you can turn whatever you want off right?

haha, didn't know that spot was very deep or that there were usb-c ports in it! i use the usb-a right above it for plugging in the iphone to do carplay. i'm definitely going to check out the usb-c's though!

i was lucky that although the dealer originally wanted an unreasonable price with much b.s. involved, i quickly negotiated it down to what i felt was reasonable, got the deal done in about 3 hours, came back after they'd prepped it, and drove off!
