Maybe Elon is anti-roundabout? We have a few roundabouts in my area and those make traffic flow so much better... no waiting at lights etc... but pedestrians and bikers sometimes mess it up because they are supposed to cross earlier but use the roundabout instead. On one of our cars, it has...

My concern was safety and driver aids, and while the M3 does have safety it does have some shortcoming when it comes to driver aids. I got our kid a Leaf.. it has BSM, cross traffic detection and the 360 overhead cam. They like the driver display and the physical controls but still get the...

I think you have to drive one to see what use cases you may have. I was the same way before I got the Ioniq... just wanted a way to set it to 1-pedal or REGEN-0-3 for the duration of the trip. But I found that having the option to change it while driving instead of having to get into the...

One pedal driving is the best way to drive (it is like manual as you can use regen on turns just like you would when you downshift) but I also like having the option to vary my regen. I guess because I was an old school stick driver.

So like I thought, no Regen 0 setting. :)

No one is trying to maintain any status quo... if you look at the posts, everyone is questioning our preferences... not the other way around. Ironically, the only status quo trying to be maintained here is the Tesla one. Not everyone is suited for a Tesla so I'm just providing a different point...

I am familiar with the SEXY buttons but did not know it can change REGEN that was not available in the regular settings. Creep mode didn't really coast that fast from what I remember.

Really? What setting is that? I don't recall any real REGEN-0 coasting setting on our Y.

But why would you want to do that? (based on what everyone else is saying :) ) Last I checked, it's not one of the available shortcuts you can assign to the left button. And as I said, there is no REGEN-0 setting in the Y either.

Funny... all you people praising Tesla's implementation of one-pedal driving but are not taking into account drivers who also drive the car and have not adjusted to one pedal driving because it's not their regular car. In my household we tend to share the different cars we have and Tesla does...

The app is fine... you can control climate, locks, and even have remote surround view on the Limited trim. Tesla's is probably better but it's the same as most car apps out there now. One thing I liked was the doors unlocked notification. Because the I5 does NOT have a walk-away lock (which...

@phigment Again, not arguing that paddles are better or whatever... just providing another point of view. And yes, I understand the dynamics of one pedal driving... it's the other people who drove the Y who had issues with it, even in low-regen mode (because the Y does NOT have a 0-regen mode)...

The EV watching comment wasn't a problem, just something to do while waiting. And everybody being able to charge at Tesla SCs is a great thing for EVs overall. I like the paddle shifters because some of my passengers get motion sickness by the abruptness of the Tesla regen... even if they are...

Seating space is bigger because the I5's center console doesn't extend the full length and the seats are more upright. Even the back seat seems bigger and that's probably due to the wheelbase pushing the wheels to the outer corners. The rear seats also slide back and forth (but not sure even at...

About a month in and I'm happy with the Ioniq 5. I miss PAAK and walk away lock... I thought I would miss auto-on but I actually like being able to get in to the car without everything turning on. I prefer having the driver display, especially the auto-drive visualization being in front of me...
