“It’s not good for CSI, it’s not good for customer retention,”

“It shows him fist opening his own garage door”

Yeah, it looks like someone did a bad Photoshop job on the grille.

Something feels a bit off though when the author lists so many issues but then says it’s a wonderful car. For example, what you quoted about the hard plastics being really bad, but then at the end of the article, the author says:

“the lack of luxury features like automatic up and down rear windows.”

“The Ioniq 6 also comes with four levels of regenerative breaking that you can select via paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Crank it all the way up, and you can one pedal drive Hyundai’s little EV.”

“This thing is all about comfort, and that’s what it does best.”

“The second thing you’re going to notice is the door panels and how neat they look. They’re made of ribbed plastic for our pleasure.”

“I wholeheartedly believe this is one the best looking vehicles on sale right now in any segment. The car looks like a mix between a futuristic egg and a cyberpunk 993 Porsche 911. It is fantastic.”

“A slew of benefits come with the membership, but it’ll cost you of course.”

“A one-time $249 fee is required to get the ball rolling. After that, two years in and you’ll be charged $25/month.”

“Once that’s done, she would remove the egg from the hot tub”

“this Lexus had an extensive wrap sheet, with 44 unpaid parking tickets—43 for speeding and one for running a red light—all received in the last 10 months”

Given that the battery is usually warrantied for 100K+ miles, odds are decent that most people will probably have a new car before the warranty on the battery runs out.  Those of us that drive a lot, that’s a different story, but the national average range of miles driven per year means that most people probably won’t…

“Hyundai specially chooses to focus on physical controls for climate controls and the radio.”
