Now compare how much that same trim costs...

Regardless. Your points are only mildly important to me. You seem to be basing your entire decision/argument on them. I repeat my proposition. Go sit in them.

The end. Sounds like you're not up for a change of mind and I'm not in the business of changing minds, but I will call shit out.

I did sit in one about 4 years ago when they came out. So did in Ioniq5. Drove Kona extensively. I choose Tesla 2 years after making comprehensive spreadsheet of all features. Kia/Hyundai weren't even close. I didn't do comprehensive drive tho, but lack of autopilot easily beats any feature Kia/Hyundai can provide.

Agree to differ. I assume it's priority variance.

Anyway, a shame you didn't wait a year or two. It's likely you could have picked up 2 for the price of 1 in today's market.

Looking at the used market where I am - Tesla prices have absolutely crashed compared to Hyundai. Crazy to buy one new and, because of the price difference, the obvious choice is to buy the Tesla used ... but I still wouldn't.

But it's funny. In the second hand market, Hyundai are the premium player! Which is actually hilarious historically speaking.

Anyway, all the best

I was in a pinch with old car giving up and with a bit of cash on hand while EVs subsidies were high and Tesla just dropped their price.

Lost about 20k NZD in depreciation, but did 62kkm. So that's nearly 15k NZD in petrol savings alone.

Looking at Ioniq5/ev6 they've depreciated same if not more.
