Good luck finding a Hyundai dealership that isn't marking up 7.5k to negate the credit. Tried to buy one last year and they marked up anywhere from 2k minimum to 8k with add-ons.
Hyundai actually found the issue, it was an app that sent a bunch of information/stayed connected when the car is off. Teslas have a worse issue which is phantom drain, since the car stays connected for connectivity/app usage it drains the main drive battery. Ends up making the car horribly inefficient. People come back to their cars with way less drivable range.
No,
Hyundai = Low quality.
many insurance companies nowadays refuse to insure Hyundai vehicles
Pretty sure you don't even have to own them to drive them now, ever since the Kia boys, it's well known how easy their cars are to steal. This might not be the case with this model, but I would generally avoid the Kia/Hyundai brands until they release a definitive fix for people stealing them easily.
Does anyone know if you can open the steering column and take this like you can other models?
The i3 is a cool little beast with a carbon fiber chassis. You know what else uses carbon fiber? The Bugatti Veyron (and many other exotics) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis...coque_cars
My only complaint is they always style EVs like they're spaceships from the future. The look can be polarizing, and I haven't really found one that looks as good as a normal gas-guzzling ferrari, lambo or porsche. Once they close the design gap, I think adoption will be more palatable.
You cannot buyout Tesla leases, not that you would want to after you experience the shoddy workmanship of those things.
I see these types of comments a lot. I'm sure there are QC issues with some of them, but my model 3 has had no issues. It's a few years old too. Just want to throw my two cents in.

I agree, I bought myself a car out of desperation (Honda accord hybrid) with 3k forced add ons last Oct and just got my wife a car last month 6k below MSRP with no forced add ons. So it's a whole different game now.
What car did you buy for 6k below MSRP? I went to a Honda dealership 2 months ago looking for a hybrid. They still want 1500 add on for new and 750 add on for used on any car with absolutely no negotiable. I'm in the Midwest. Being holding out for as long as I can.
100%
The best deal here is to lease it and as soon as you get your account settled, buyout the vehicle by financing it through a credit union at a low APR. That way, you pocket the 7500 credit which is not available by doing a retail purchase.
I wouldn't put any cash down on a lease, just do a basic 36/10k with your first month due at signing and buy it.
Just keep in mind that many credit unions (like mine) do not do post-sale loans (sometimes called "title loans"), and if they do, the interest rate on the loan may be somewhat higher, and the process more complicated.
Anything is negotiable. You can negotiate with two or more leasing companies, or you can shave numbers or add perks if you disagree on the residual value. You can negotiate both top numbers and bottom numbers. The only things that matters are term, payment, equity, and buyout cost. The leasing bank does not determine the residual value anyway. They use a third party that uses an algorithm to determine the residual value and that number is sent to the leasing company.
New car dealers will negotiate more than the average person realizes, especially on new cars. More times than not, they do not own those vehicles. They are owned by Ford, Hyundai, Mazda, etc... The longer those cars sit on the lot, the more it costs those dealers to keep them in their inventory. Companies like Ford will even redistribute vehicles to a different dealer, and the dealers don't have a say in it.
Stop saying nonsense like "everything is negotiable" when that isn't true. You can - and should - negotiate other elements of the transaction to work in your favor, but you cannot negotiate residual value (RV). It is set by the leasing company, full stop. I've leased 5 vehicles in the past 3 years and I spend a decent amount of time on the Leashackr forums.
It's also important to know that the car's residual value is set by the leasing company. It is not set by the dealer and it is not negotiable. Because of this, different leasing companies may offer different residual rates.

How does a car cost increase to double after removing all engine from it????

$5000 + 400 a month for 36 months = $19,400 for 3 years. That is $539 a month!
