I haven’t bought one yet so I’m probably not the right person to ask. Everyone I know with a Hyundai seems happy, though.
People do like Hyundai's EVs and I would definitely check them out when you're looking, but don't kid yourself that Hyundai also doesn't have it's own issues.
For example people have been stealing Hyundai/Kia for years now due to faulty security software that makes it trivial. It was even a TikTok challenge.
It wasn't software though. It was an immobilizer chip, which is hardware, that they didn't put in the car. They cheaped out on a part, sure, but it wasn't faulty nor was it software.
Oh shit i thought that was a software gone wrong they couldn't easily update.
That's crazy.
Edit: but they are doing software to fix it, ~~which wasn't always working at least initially.~~ which still isn't stopping all thefts. Thefts are still elevated with the update, but less than without.
Edit: this might be why
