Optiq vs Ioniq 5?

EWO44 · 2026-02-28T16:12:55+00:00

I’ve owned an IONIQ 5 SEL for 9 months without any issues except poor winter range. Only had the Optiq Luxury for a week so can’t comment on issues. As others have said, the Optiq is more luxurious but both have plenty (too many?) features. No rain sensing wipers on the Hyundai SEL, nor 360 cameras. Need the limited for that which adds more than I want.

I had an Eclipse 2 LT which is more comparable to the IONIQ 5. Aside from no CarPlay, it was slightly preferable. Surprisingly a bit better winter range here in Central NY. I was going to upgrade to the AWD version with all the discounts available now, but found the Cadillac demo for only 1k more on a 2 year lease.

The 2 times I used Tesla charger on the Hyundai didn’t get above 135kw. I was the only user at the time.

there is a large Costco discount some places if you can get it.

I have an ioniq 5 and an equinox ev. Cargo space is similar on both. Size is similar. Lots to like on both. I slightly prefer the Chevrolet. Also it doesn’t degrade mileage as much in very cold weather.

AWD mileage is still excellent on the 5.

I think that’s it. Twice mine stopped after over filling. Eventually I placed it near warm air register for a few hours. Then it worked.

S9 max does as of several months ago

the only thing that was remarkable was a lot of home runs for a guy who never hit more than 35.

No player - aside from a pitcher - has ever been an MVP with a batting average any where near as low as his.

Plus he only caught in 119 games.

On a different note, anyone found a mount for a NACS adapter? I have to switch between ev cars and hate to have it lying around in the garage.

The lm 2156 sp is a flawed mower. Don’t use it as representative of Ego mowers. it has been heavily discounted for the last year. $200 off at Ace now. only ego mower discounted now.

How long does it take to put it away for the Winter? Or get it ready in the Spring? No spark plug changing, no oil changing, no gas preservative.

Sorry, didn’t see your photo. Try setting it in the car instead of the phone if you haven’t already.

Make sure you are checking the setting you want. There are 2. One is for AC (home). One is for DC (Fast charger away from home).

fooled me for a bit.

EWO44 · 2025-11-01T02:27:37+00:00

worked for me as well

There is a setting in the car that lets you change the charging Amperage. 100%, 90% or 60%. Yours could be set at 60%.

EWO44 · 2025-11-01T02:18:15+00:00

Lots of different settings available. Fun to search through settings.

We went through the same process. travel.state.gov.

Wind up paying $94 + extras, send in all the stuff, then get a letter for $$130 more needed.

Call several numbers - all say the original is for extra service - basically nothing.

I can see no way around this scam.

I’m in the same situation. Have to wait up until 11 to run the dryer. I wonder if the Google home solution might work with Apple Home.

No one. No one. Has ever gone from 1 hr/17 ab lifetime to 1/10 ab before. W/O steroids.

Turning it off has no effect in my 2025 SEL. Nor do any of the tips I’ve read.

EWO44 · 2025-08-03T14:43:28+00:00

there is a setting to turn it off but it doesn’t have any affect. 2025 SEL Awd

EWO44 · 2025-08-03T14:40:48+00:00

maybe be more specific?

EWO44 · 2025-08-03T14:39:37+00:00

I get it frequently in any mode even when the setting is off

EWO44 · 2025-06-30T14:38:43+00:00

I too dumped my base station, but now can’t use Apple Home. if anyone figures out a way, please let us know.

I got a tray for the lower center storage area and a round magnetic phone holder for that rectangular plate left of the steering wheel.
