Well folks, there will not be a test drive of the Ioniq 5N, here is the response from the dealership. Also notice the "Market Adjustment" 🤣

Well that's not going to fly. Particularly with the Model 3 Ludicrous/Plaid right around the corner and without any adjustments. And dealers wonder why they have the reputation they have...

Hyundai dealerships seem to have the worst reputations. They go out of their way to be *** holes. Can you imagine buying a $77k car and not being able to even test drive it?? Jezus

220 mile range would not bother me one iota. My M3 averages 265 miles per fill, and that's WAY more than enough. I'm not alone:
Not disagreeing with your point in general but most people buying this will likely never track it, even if the car is more than capable of it. People who are seriously interested in tracking cars do not buy midsize crossovers. This is a super niche vehicle that serves merely as a halo car for the N brand and a testbed for Hyundai's future engineering in EV's and performance vehicles. It's interesting how the Genesis Magma performance sub-brand was unveiled not long after the Ioniq 5 N.

I talked to three dealerships and I don't know if they are lying, but each said they were only getting one this year. So they better sell, if you know what I mean 😂

Yeah I wasn't talking about tracking. I've never tracked any of my cars, and wouldn't track the 5N if I got one. But my dailies have had high-performance tires for 25 years, and summer ultra-high performance (Pilot SuperSport, PS 4S) for almost 15 years now. The difference is large even on the street. That's what I meant. Someone who would spend the extra money to buy something this focused on being fun to drive, is unlikely to then take that fun away by significantly downgrading the tires in pursuit of slightly greater range.
