As others have pointed out, the EV6 is definitely more of a competitor to the Model Y, but I still ended up comparing it to the Model 3 and the Genesis GV60 as well. Fundamentally the Hyundai group platform looks very promising - true 800V architecture, pretty wide range of performance options, and arguably superior value, especially in the face of the recent price increases on 3/Y.
That said at the end of the day, I'm Canadian and the supercharger network is so superior to the CCS network available for other EV's where I live that it wasn't that difficult of a choice to make. Its also worth keeping in mind the severe efficiency difference between the two platforms - the additional 1000 lbs and worse drag coefficient reduce the GMP vehicles range and efficiency in a major way. I don't think most people would go wrong in either camp frankly, and I still have a very early pre-order on a GV60 in case I decide to go though and buy one after all, but the cons aren't worth it for my situation, and they are inexcusable if you are stuck in the USA paying above MSRP for one.
yeah, the markups make it not worth looking outside of Tesla it seems. In San Diego area, the Wind trim AWD at a dealership was $67k. NO way I would choose that over a Tesla. Even with rebates, the Tesla will come out a better deal IMO.
