![]() Technology: Clearly Tesla has the BIG advantage here. Once I found "Offroad mode" in the Tesla, it did fantastic, like really superb in snow, packed snow and even ice. I've had the opportunity to drive the MY in a LOT of snow, including 8" snow on a trip up to 10,000' on a very steep mountain road where I was the only car to have gone up it. Snow: I didn't get to drive my Ioniq 5 a ton in the snow last winter, but when I did it seemed extremely capable. BUT, if you get a working 350kW unit, the Ioniq 5 charges faster. BUT, CCS is hit or miss, as a lot of stations are broken, AND you have to deal with a myriad of apps, and except for EVGO, you don't have a plug and charge situation. you're rarely more than 5 miles from a CCS charger. While there are dozens and dozens of CCS charging stations. ![]() There are only 5 in the entire metro area. Also, while Tesla has strategically placed super chargers on corridors for road trips, around my city (Denver), they are few. it will pull 240kW, but only for a short while, and will be down to 110kW at 50% SOC. Plug it in, and it works every time, no muss, no fuss, no app, no credit cards. But it is definitely a harsher ride still compared to the Ioniq 5.Ĭharging: The Tesla super charging just works and it is fast. I think Tesla made some suspension changes in the 23. Ride Comfort: The 2023 Model Y is better than I expected, and it handles rough roads really well. Tire noise is a bit loader in the My as well. Tesla Wind noise is very noticeable around the door. In fact, when no one is in the back seat of the Tesla I feel as though my head is inside a drum, with some weird reverberation. Noise: The Ioniq5 is considerably more quiet. The heated steering wheel is too hot, I can only use it about 5 minutes. Heat: The MY heater is superior, it heats up the cabin very quickly, and the heated seats are extraordinary. About 6 hours in the MY and I'm starting to get sore. I can drive the I5 all day and not be sore. The Tesla isn't bad, but just isn't as comfy. 70-100 is way faster in the MY.Ĭomfort: The driver seat of the Ioniq5 is way more comfortable. Performance: I'd say off the line is very similar, 4.8s (but I haven't tested the MY yet). Part of the problem with Tesla is every 10th car on the road is a white Model 3/Y. Looks: To me the Ioniq 5 looks way better, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. At the moment I am having a lot of buyer's remorse. I am cross posting this, in the hopes you all can help me appreciate the Tesla a bit more. My Ioniq 5 has been unrepairable in the shop for 13 weeks, so 10 days ago I went ahead and bought a Tesla Model Y.
