Nah it’s about the same or worse on these

Cuz +1000 lbs of battery, especially brutal going uphill
Limited regen cuz of the geared trans

PHEV really do be inefficient unless it has a CVT

Alright one last push.

2025 Ioniq 5 just landed.

Finally the mid-cycle refresh

- rear wiper
- wireless Android Auto/Apply CarPlay
- slight UI update also technically bigger screens
- Physical buttons for heated/cooled seats + heated steering wheel
- Finally you can spec Digital Teal with Black interior
- Unfortunately no Tesla port, they say towards year end for 2026, or there MIGHT be a 2025.2 variant coming early fall~

iZEV $5,000 should be gone by end of Jan, meaning in Feb, this car is gonna cost 5 grand more...

Haven't been following the EV rebate saga lately. Why is the federal EV rebate going away? Bcos it ran out of $$$? Parliament got prorogued, so it can't approve new legislation for rebate funding renewal? Something else?

Tesla raised the price for the current Model Y by $1,000

Therefore all Model Y's do not qualify for the federal rebate

I'm guessing this is caused by our weak loonie, right?

Seems a bit odd to me that Tesla would rather intentionally make the car ineligible for the rebate when their growth is finally slowing down. With the Juniper coming soon, shouldn't they be doing everything they can to clear out the old models?

JDMDreams 01-11-2025 08:55 AM

Because we're gonna make Canada great again! f150s for everyone, fuk dem liberal gay evs, back to gas baby!!:accepted:

President Elmo probably did it on purpose for whatever reason.

Tesla will have its way when it comes to clearing out their inventory such as instant rebates and boosted referral credits

Like a couple of posters mentioned, federal funding is running out for EV

I like the wrap around light bar on the XPeng better, but then they have to blotch the clean-looking design by adding those other lights right below the light bar.

So overall, Tesla still takes the win for just being cleaner.

Badhobz 01-11-2025 08:13 PM

But Ching Ching ling long is like 20k. That’s why it killed the European car market and Hitler factory is going tits up

Crosstour?

bcrdukes 01-12-2025 06:35 PM

Uglier, please.

I can imagine 68style and Badhobz collaborating furiously to write a list of ugly cars to share in this thread

bring it on jerkbags

radeonboy 01-12-2025 07:57 PM

Murano Cross?

JDMDreams 01-12-2025 08:11 PM

What did you say about the great troll car of all time ?!?!?!?m

Ugliest sports car is easy

Take any Beetle past the 997.2 and it’s all hideously bloated and stupid looking. Then you add a giant clothes hanging wing like the 992 gt3 RS and congratulations!!! You have the ugliest sports car of the modern era. The deceased camero looks better. Yes and that’s a turd wrapped in a durian , smothered in vinegar.

The gt3 RS is worse. Those gay ass black vents for aero look like cheese graters.

Ugliest SUV is iX.

Ugliest sedan is the new m5. Looks like a whale.

Ugliest truck is cyber

bcrdukes 01-12-2025 09:13 PM

Some great suggestions!

Subconsciously, Badhobz wants a PHEV or all-electric GT3 RS with a big fat wing so he can discuss the intricacies of its aerodynamic properties with AstulzerRZD, and how it will generate further savings from charging costs. This is a circle jerk in the making.

underscore 01-12-2025 09:55 PM

An EV GT3 RS would be great for making fun of all the rich knobs who buy cars like those and then never do anything even remotely performance oriented with them.

dont forget about the mirai

You should import a Mitsuoka Orochi.

bcrdukes 01-13-2025 06:33 AM

Sweet Jesus. The ugliness is making it look amazing!

Interesting how it's running a Toyota V6 with an MR layout. Did they steal the idea from immorality? :D
