    Nice test drive of Ioniq 6 (dual motor) Saturday. Efficiency OK, maximum hill climb reached 107 mph, and driver automaton acceptable but not Tesla equal. Leans too much on manual actions for lane changes.

    Won’t decide until Jan/Feb 2026 when refund is filed.

    Isn't this what our moderator drives? Bet he'd be glad to provide input from his perspective after probably close to a year of ownership now.

    It's very Mercedes / sporty like in that slope age. It's drag
    CD is a mere 0.21 - in comparison to the Tesla Model 3 at 0.23
    It did seem a good reason to make a car somewhat teardrop shaped
