Hope the rear wiper makes it into regular 2024 Ioniq 5 models! Still patiently waiting for my allocation almost 1.5 years later…

There's a difference between making a car that's in the luxury category, and then whether or not someone perceives a car to be luxurious or not.
Remember those BMW 3 series from the 2000s? Base models with hubcaps, and dials to operate the HVAC. Still a car that is within the luxury category, but without those premium options, didn't feel luxurious at all.
Traditionally, luxury car means newest technology, more comfort, and higher price point.
Tesla is for sure 2 of 3 (technology and price). Comfort might be debatable. Some might say yes and some say no. I'd guess most would say yes to that too.
At that price, you're competing directly with BMW, MB, Lexus, Volvo...
So maybe it's just me but I think 100%, Tesla falls into the luxury category.
But each person will have their own personal preference however as to whether it "feels luxurious" or not.
That Ioniq5 N video was pretty exciting to watch and I am enjoying the advent of almost video game like features and technology in some of these applications...
Then I think about how vehicles are bought and sold today and I just get bored again. Good luck to everyone spending 3 years watching influencers on YouTube play with it and waiting for a chance to buy one after handing over a 2020+ trade-in and paying for $25,000 in markups and accessory addons.
Whenever I see these fake engine sound and fake gear shifter in EVs, this is nothing but telling me that some OEMs just don't get it yet.
You don't need sounds to tell you when it's the optimal condition. There's one single gear. You are either accelerating, neutral or braking. There aren't anything that would improve the driving. It's basically factory Rice options.
Look at some performance EVs promo material... Tesla new Roadster, Rimac Nevera or Ford Mach-E 1400. There's none of that garbage.
By adding all those junks, it basically tells me that as a manufacturer, you don't know how to make EVs exciting other than resorting to put some ICE shits to entice your customers who are still on ICEs.
Or that your marketing team still don't get EVs. They should be fired and find another team who truly gets it.
I'd be interested if there's an IONIQ 5 N without all that garbage and at a cheaper price.

Yay.
That, and how big it is. I really like the look of the Ioniq 5 when there's no context but irl they're huuuuuge.

Tesla model 3 owner here
I wouldn't consider Tesla Model 3/Y to be luxurious, but I would classify it more as a premium car than luxury.
But with the refreshed Model 3 around the corner, I believe it will edge closer into the luxury status, but still over all as a more premium car.

Yea, with the amount of Tesla model 3's running around in Vancouver alone, the amount of people that are lining up for the superchargers is miniscule.
I think if you are going EV and can't have a dedicated charge port that you have regular access, it's quite problematic unless you live nearby a fast charger.
But seriously though... EV is really becoming mainstream. There are so many chargers. This is becoming less and less of an issue.
I was at Revelstoke the other day, and the hwy1 exit of the town was filled with fast chargers. You have the Tesla supercharger (now 2 locations in a small town), Chevron has theirs, Shell has theirs, and BC Hydro has theirs at the visitor center and across the street, there's Electrify Canada. Basically within 500m radius, you've got like 6 different DCFC options
Ford drops CAD price of F150 lighting by $10k across the board.
XLT starts at $69k (was $79k) and Lariat starts at $80k (was $90k)

The Rimac Nevera looks slow in the video but just set the production class record at Goodwood. must be the lack of noise. Saw the car at the Peterson Museum, looks so good.
Welp, looks like we will see on the news soon "self driving Ford F-150 rams into a crowd of pedestrians due to faulty FSD software"
Tesla FSD is good, but it's nowhere ready for 100% reliance.
It’s not 100% reliable yet. But tbh, it’s not bad. I use it on a daily basis and it drives me from point A to B every time. The last 2 update is really close to what I call how I’d drive.
I might not be the best driver but I have near 20yrs of driving without an at fault accident, knock on wood. If my Tesla can drive like me, I feel it’s safe enough.
With the news announced today that Tesla is going to allow an one time FSD transfer, I think I’m going to switch car. Now the question is whether I get a Y performance or just go straight for a Plaid.
