it's the same except the engine is on more often.

it does go off at stops though which is a relief (like a hybrid).

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.



Spoiler
 

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.

Looks like Stellantis is giving up on their plan for Chrysler branded electric SUV's. Probably a result of their overall financial situation.

https://www.thedrive.com/news/chrysl...pending-report

Makes you wonder what they'll do with the brand. Will they drop it entirely and kill the Pacifica? Transfer the Pacifica to Dodge? Maybe bring back the 300 on the new Charger platform since that's money already spent?
