Some dealers in my area, NE GA, are actually discounting the Ioniq5s $2500-$7500 right now. Not sure if that is a regional discount but the discounts seem to be coming from both the dealer and/or Hyundai. I know my local Hyundai dealer has had 3-5 Ioniq5s sitting in the front of their dealership for 1 - 2 months now that they can't seem to sell.

On a related note, the NHTSA just opened an investigation into the Ioniq5 due to reports that some Ioniqs are losing power while being driven. Not a full recall as of yet but enough complaints, around 30, to warrant a closer look. https://www.caranddriver.com/news...stigation/

Why buyout when you could invest those funds at a rate > 0.9%? Current 13-month CD's pay 4.3%.

Financing? Isn't the real deal when you do a lease, get the $7500 credit then do a lease buyout?

Hyundai isn't the problem. Crooked dealerships are. Even the 5K incentive Hyundai has, dealerships around us want to negotiate their cut out of it. No wonder the cars are still standing on their lots moving very slow and as new supply comes in, inventory is piling up.
I like Hyundai too. I drive one of these daily, it's awesome. However, the dealer near me didn't really mark the thing up, even when they were the hot new car on the market.

Looks like they are trying to sell these off due to multiple issues found. The cars seems to be stalling in the middle of the road while driving. There were almost 30 cases of vehicle becoming unresponsive and shutting down while driving.
stop it that's 30 cars out of hundreds of thousands. You guys are making this more than it is and let's not pretend that every car ever mass produced has had a few lemons.

Quote from BrianT1548 :
Still seems like people are jumping the gun on these early EV's. Toyota says they have solid state battery tech and want a 500 mile range. Not going for these sub-300 range cars at this price.
Toyota has been making up fake tech breakthroughs they have no ability to mass produce for almost a full decade now to avoid admitting they're a decade behind on EVs though.

https://www.autoevolution.com/new...90501.html

here's the first time I can think of they claimed they had a "breakthrough" in the lab-

Quote from Toyota in 2014 :
Toyota to Offer High Performance Solid-State Batteries in 2020
In that one they claimed they'd offer up to 300 miles of range! (something many car makers have now being doing for years without imaginary solid state tech)

Then 3 years later they said they were NEAR a breakthrough....

https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/25...s-by-2020/

Quote from Toyota in 2017 :
The car maker said that it's near a breakthrough in production engineering that could help it put the new tech in production electric vehicles as early as 2020

Then 3 more years later they moved the goalposts another 5 years down the road but insisted it was coming!

https://www.google.com/search?q=T...e&ie=UTF-8

Quote from Toyota in 2020 :
limited manufacturing is on track for 2025.

Now ANOTHER 3 years later--- same story.... they have a breakthrough again! But now Toyota "aims for mass production from 2027 to 2028"

Don't worry... in 2026 they'll announce Yet Another Breakthrough and SURELY they will have EVs based on it by 2030 or so.....

Quote from comfortably-numb :
It would be greatly appreciated if The Tesla fans can take their arguments elsewhere. Most of the comments here are people arguing Tesla vs Hyundai.

Would someone who has figured this out care to comment on my query about this deal?

Edmunds forums don't seem to report this 0.99 APR. The MF being quoted for the lease deals is ~ 0.0025 which is ~6% according to their lease calculator.

New to leasing so would appreciate some clarification on this.

Also the dealership near me has an asterisked HMF dealers choice bonus of ~$5000 (need to ask dealer about details) any idea what that might be? This is in addition to the $7500 lease cash.
This is not covering the additional military and new grad incentives (which I'm not eligible for obviously)
The 5000 dealer choice bonus is just that. Dealer choice.I called three around me and none of them would give me all of that incentive.

Also for leases 5000 doesn't apply. They bake 7500 in the lease deal but I couldn't make sense of their lease offer either.

Quote from pmperry :
They really did! The Hyundai was named the electric car of the year in 2022
Then why do they keep getting outsold so massively?

Almost like winning a magazine award doesn't make it a car actually worth buying compared to alternatives or something....



Quote from pmperry :
As for the tax credit, they had to be manufactured in the USA, you're straight up ignorant here as none of these Hyundais were and that bill changed to include them
Again... what?

The current tax credit STILL does not include Hyundais. It NEVER did and was NEVER meant to.

Nothing was "changed to include them"

I agree someone is ignorant here but it ain't me LMAO


You're the one who claimed there was "confusion" the first few months of the year and they "ironed it out" when in reality the tax credit Jan 1 and the tax credit today work exactly the same for Hyundais.

That is- buyers don't qualify for it.

Leases do.

There was no time, ever, when as you claim "the tax credit didn't apply to them for a few months" but was then "ironed out"


This is in fact why Hyundai is now scrambling to figure out building EVs in the US- so that they'd finally qualify for at least part of the current credit.


Quote from pmperry :
. The previous rules had the tax credit, that's when we bought the two Ioniqs we have.
That was an entirely different credit.... different law, no price or income limits, no manufacturing or materials requirements, and a hard cap on total sales per car maker.

That credit went away Dec 31, 2022. Again there were no "months of ironing out" anything as related to Hyundai- it was a known, clear, switchover from one credit in 2022 and before to a different one (that never applied to buying a Hyundai) in 2023 starting Jan 1 and continuing through today.


Quote from pmperry :
Now let's talk about Hyundai / Kia EV Sales in the USA. They sold about 60,000 last year and it was the first year they had any EV with a decent range.

So this is just factually wrong.

Kia/Hyundais first EVs with what most consider "good enough" range were the the Kia Niro (238 range) and the Hyundai Kona, with even more range (258) both of which went on sale in 2019....both offering similar or better ranges than the Chevy Bolt or Nissan Leaf-- though finding themselves unable to outsell them. Then in 2020 launched the 2nd gen Soul EV also with comparable range.

Then the Kia EV6 and The Ioniq 5 (the car this thread is about) went on sale in the US in 2021.

So that's 5 models on the market before "just last year" and 3 of them on the marker for 3+ years.


Quote from pmperry :
Another thing, Tesla sold just shy of 400K vehicles in the USA last year
I think you mean just shy of 500,000?

https://insideevs.com/news/652873...ales-2022/

Quote :
According to a report by Automotive News, Tesla had 484,351 new car registrations in the US in 2022.
And that was BEFORE lower prices and the tax credit (which they didn't qualify for at all in 2022)



Quote from pmperry :
, Hyundai / Kia sold just shy of 1.5 Million vehicles in the USA. What do you think happens when they convert their whole lineup to Electric Vehicles?

Hyundai does not expect to have their whole fleet switched to EVs for at least ten more years likely nearer 15... so that's a weird question.

But let's dig into the numbers a bit since you bring them up....

https://www.best-selling-cars.com...-by-model/

That's 2022 total US sales for Hyundai, at 724,265


https://www.prnewswire.com/news-r...13187.html

That's 2022 total US sales for Kia, at 654,554


So you again appear to be fudging your figures a bit-- those add to 1.378 million, not 1.5

Further, Hyundai sales were DOWN just over 2%, while Kias were up 1.7%... so overall they were DOWN slightly from 2021.

Tesla, in contrast, had sales just under 500k as previously cited in the US... and that was an INCREASE of 41 percent year over year


In Q1 2023 Tesla sales in the US were up 55% YoY at 170,000 for just Q1. Q2 is looking to be even higher.

Which means Tesla is likely to come in around 700,000-750,000 US sales -this- year.

Now, some good news for Kia/Hyundai- their Q1 sales were also up YoY... 12 and 16% respectively... this would bring them (assuming it was sustained all year) up to around...1.57 million sales.

So in one year Tesla will have gone from selling only 1/3rd as many cars in the US to selling about 1/2 as many.

And again, Tesla sales have been growing at this average 50% rate every year for years and they expect to keep doing so.



Anyway, what do I think happens when Hyundai is all EVs?

When do you think that happens?

I ask- because Hyundai said this week that their goal for 2030 is to sell 2 million EVs worldwide not just US sales. And that's only half their annual worldwide sales.

So they only expect to have half their fleet as EVs by 2030- at 2 million EVs a year.

Tesla is going to sell quite near 2 million EVs worldwide this year

Their stated goal for 2030 is 20 million. (and that'd actually be a bit of a slowdown from their previous 10 years of 50% CAGR- at 50% growth they'd hit 20 million in 2029)

They don't… They're the #2 EV company on the world and that was their first EV with real range to the battery. It took Tesla 6 years to be able even sell 30000 EVs in a single year! Hyundai and Kia did that in their first year, for the US Alone. Keep in mind Tesla has almost no competition either so, let's not pretend that Tesla was an overnight success story. Hyundai will match their volume within 5 years.

as do your "What???" You're not very educated on the events of these bills are you? This is probably why you think Tesla being the current market leader will be the leader in 5 years… Spoiler Alert, they won't. The Ioniq is luxury vehicle at Heart and it drives like one.

Now read this, because it explains why the Hyundai and Kia sales hit a snag for a little bit. It was Biden's Bill.

https://fortune.com/2022/12/30/wh...igibility/

Also, Hyundai did receive the tax credit before the Biden bill. I know, because I received the full $7500 for mine and my daughter received the full $7500 for hers.

Oh and more of your ignorance regarding the Kona and Niro… They weren't able to get any footing, because they didn't even sell them in most states. To this day you can't buy a Kona EV in Florida without getting it shipped in from another state or finding it used.

Also, the Hyundai will qualify once the GA plant comes back online.

Neither of those claims is remotely true.

Why do you keep posting easily debunked untrue things?

I cited 3 previous models that launched in 2019 and 2020 with 'real' range.

and

Hyundai is not remotely #2 in EVs worldwide.


https://insideevs.com/news/666633...ble%20cars.

They aren't even in the top 5 brands for battery electric vehicle sales-- which for Q1 2023 are:

Tesla: 422,873 and 23.6% share
BYD Group: 264,300 and 14.7% share
Volkswagen Group: 133,933 and 7.5% share
SAIC (incl. SAIC-GM-Wuling): 133,269 and 7.4% share
Geely-Volvo: 102,018 and 5.7% share

Neither Hyundai or Kia appear here since they're separate nameplates- but if you combine Hyundai AND Kia you still have them coming in roughly in a 3-way third place tie with VW and SAIC.... way way behind the actual #2 BYD, which itself is ~180k cars behind #1 Tesla.


Please stop making up nonsense and posting it here.

Boy I love when people post a source they clearly didn't bother to read LMAO

Quote from YOUR source :
The requirements knock Hyundai and Kia out of the credits, at least in the short term. They plan to build new EV and battery plants in Georgia, but those won't open until 2025
That isn't a "snag for a little bit"

That is "It was clear to everyone on earth except pmperry they did not qualify, and could not qualify any earlier than 2025, and nothing has changed in the 6+ months since



BTW it looks like, for Kia anyway, the results of clearly not qualifying for the credit this year have not been great-

https://insideevs.com/news/673499...-struggle/

From January through April 2023 "Kia noted a 27 percent decrease in new BEV registrations" in the US.


In terms of individual models Kia had 0 in the top 10 for BEVs.... Hyundai had 1 (the Ioniq 5, in 8th place- behind 3 Tesla models, 2 Chevy models, 1 Ford model, and 1 VW model)

You're making stuff up. Hyundai and Kia are essentially the same company with Hyundai owning the controlling share in Kia. The two companies EV sales comb8ned make them #2. I don't factor in the BYD group personally, because I'm pretty sure they largely don't exist in most of the world.

Also, VW was in 3rd place on the list at the end of last year.

It was

1. Tesla
2. Hyundai and Kia tied with GM
3. VW

BYD group sells 95% of their vehicles in China and it wouldn't surprise me if it were largely with stolen IP. They simply will not be a factor in the near future, outside of China.

As for the claims about the EV Credits, not easily debunked I told you I received the credit under the old plan, the new plan will not allow them to qualify until the GA plant comes online. What's amazing is they still sold 50K cars in the US even though that information dropped in April of 2022.

Also, it did t eliminate Kia or Hyundai by name, it said they had to be manufactured in the USA. That's coming and then they will be included.

I get it, you're struggling with justifying your brand loyalty to Tesla, when there are clearly better riding EVs on the market. You should be praising the other cars, but instead you're stuck on the fact that they're still selling far more Gas vehicles than Electric and that's just stupid.

Oh and another note. Tesla only had to get the Model Y down to the $55K mark, yet they matched the Ioniq 5 pricing. Why is that? Because the Ioniq 5 was the first real threat to any of their product lines.

Another note on the Kona, that's more expensive than the Bolt and that's another reason the bolt outsells it.

Except, again, they factually do not

They are, at best, in a 3-way tie for third with VW and SAIC.

Dude.

YOU specified total worldwide sales.

Then when caught out on being wrong about who was #2, you start shoving goalposts downfield as fast as possible LMAOLMAOLMAO


If you'd like to switch back to only US BEV sales so you can magically ignore BYD we can do that too.

In Q1 2023 Hyundai/Kia combined were not #2 there either--- GM was.

Though just as with the worldwide numbers they're vastly far behind #1 Tesla... and falling further behind as Tesla sales continue to outgrow theirs... (as I just pointed out, From January through April 2023 "Kia noted a 27 percent decrease in new BEV registrations" in the US... )



Quote from pmperry :
You should be praising the other cars.

If you go back and look at previous, older, EV threads--- I've praised Hyundai/Kia EVs all the way back to their original reasonable-range models from 2019 and 2020 as perfectly competent offerings-- better than those from several other legacy companies at the time.

The problem is in the US right now they're simply overpriced compared to alternatives.


That's the whole reason this thread exists because only via the leasing loophole... if you can find one at MSRP and willing to pass the full credit through a lease[/B] does the car become worth considering again.

And the fact they are struggling with sales in 2023, while US-made EVs are soaring in sales figures, is further evidence of that fact.

Still seems like people are jumping the gun on these early EV's. Toyota says they have solid state battery tech and want a 500 mile range. Not going for these sub-300 range cars at this price.
lol ok

Don't forget in 2009 when they said they'd be selling BEVs in 2012-
https://www.greencarreports.com/n...us-in-2012


Hilariously- the car they intended that to be true for, not so much... but they DID, technically, launch a BEV in the US in 2012... using a Tesla powertrain (the 2012 Rav4 EV)- though they only made about 2500 of them total and only sold them in a couple places in California.


Years from now Toyota is gonna be a cautionary tale case study in business schools right along with Blackberry and Nokia.

That's a weird claim since I keep citing sources and you keep posting untrue numbers those sources debunk.





Except, again, they factually do not

They are, at best, in a 3-way tie for third with VW and SAIC.

They absolutely are, you're citing a company whose numbers you can't verify and you can't even buy their cars. Don't give me that crap, nobody talks about the BYD Group. You're only counting them to try and knock the other brands. It's stupid, the Ioniq 5 is a better car than the Model Y and that has you seriously butthurt.


Dude.

YOU specified total worldwide sales.

Then when caught out on being wrong about who was #2, you start shoving goalposts downfield as fast as possible

I did specify worldwide sales, but I didn't think you would pad your numbers with unverified stats. Also, both GM and Hyundai / Kia have laid hold of that claim, so take it up with them.

If you'd like to switch back to only US BEV sales so you can magically ignore BYD we can do that too.

Or we can ignore them, because they're only sold in China and you can't verify they've sold anywhere near what they're claiming. Also, I would bet money they stole the IP for much of the cars, just like they do with everything over there.

In Q1 2023 Hyundai/Kia combined were not #2 there either--- GM was.

GM made that Claim, but it was confirmed the two companies were in a statistical tie last year. Sorry you don't like that, but that's on you. Like I said, both companies made the claim and independent 3rd parties found they were pretty much neck and neck. If you want to nit pick that, it's on you.
Now here's a question for you? Which car do you own and have you even driven the Ioniq 5 or 6?

Let me tell you what I like about my car…

1. It has a ton of room, the kind of rear seat leg room you would only find in luxury vehicles in the past. The rear seats recline and you have the option of a foot rest with them. If you don't need all that room and want a 3rd row seating option, buy the EV 6 and you have the 3rd row seating option.

2. The Duel engines do very well against pretty much any Gas vehicle on the road and there aren't many that can out accelerate it off the line (I haven't found one yet, but I'm sure they do exist).

3. There is literally almost no maintenance to the car (I'm sure that's true with all EVs).

4. iPedal single pedal operation makes driving the car a breeze. And this is a 4th level of regenerative breaking,

5. Cruise control with lane changing, auto adjusting the speed to match the posted speed limits.

6. Drive by Wire allows the company to completely change the way the car rides depending on the mode you're in. If you go into sport mode the steering tightens up and and the governors are removed, it feels like a very different car.

7. If a hurricane takes out the Power, I can plug my Ioniq into the 220 I had installed and power essential items around the house with it (the fact that we have 2 makes that doubly good).

8. I get two years worth of free high speed charging and the car is the fastest charging EV on the market, tied with the Porsche and EV6.

9. The Solar on my roof means I'm never paying for a charge again for daily commuting.

10. If the wife ever gets the the battery to low, We can charge it from my Daughter's Ioniq 5, no need for a tow, just cable to cable and turn on the charging option.

11. The Break Pedal turns into a supplemental breaking option (like an additional E Break) when you're in I Pedal mode.

Now let me tell you what I don't like about it.

1. The windshields seem fairly fragile by comparison and they chip very easily, plus they require an OEM windshield as they have sensors in them.

2. It needs a rear wiper and that should have never been missed.

Those are literally the only thing I dislike about that car.

When the N Lines hit the market, that's when things will get really interesting.

Just looked in NJ Towne Toyota they are all at MSRP although not at base so 47-50k but no markups. It's not the same car market it was last year. Below MSRP is happening again too.
NJ dealers are rogues. They tack on all sorts of fees to the price.

Not to mention new, lower cost models from GM and Ford will soon enter the market, putting further downward pressure on prices.

Smart discretionary money stays far away from the current EV market.

Why buyout when you could invest those funds at a rate > 0.9%? Current 13-month CD's pay 4.3%.
Why buy anything at all? Rent, mortgage, food, utilities, clothes? Give up all consumption so that you can have more money to invest in CDs. At maturity, roll over the CDs indefinitely.
