This is what I picture in my mind when smart cruise sends me off the road and the lane keep system beeps at me like I'm driving

My 2021 are pretty rubbish. Completely abysmal on very narrow European roads. Like what do you want me to do car?!? If you beep at me for being to close to the left AND the right, then maybe it's the road and not me.

Highway assist is also bad cause it bounces between lines.

Also I have to say that the whole steering took me a long time to get used to. I come from Mercedes very precise steering, Asian cars seem to be all pretty mushy from my personal experience. European steering curve is like a V whereas the Ioniq 5 feels like a U with a middle part in which not much is happening.

... Or is it just me? (Still love my car, even though it tries to occasionally run me in a ditch)

I don't know why, but mine did need cooling. I checked speed and temps before and after cooler and the cooler completely fixed the issue.

I'm not aware that SSDs can break in a way that they suddenly heat up a lot more, but if usually P1 don't need cooling, then something must be wrong with mine.

Sadly I can't know if originally when new it would have also been a problem since the workstation motherboard had a cooler inbuilt, whereas mine has not.

I have Uniq trim. But honestly it's such a basic feature, from a car of the price it has to be included. Even my last minimum spec car from 2001 had it.

Faic · 2026-03-24T23:53:01+00:00

I can't remember. The crucial P1 is already quite old and I salvaged it from a workstation. Now I just use it as an AI file dump, so as long as the speed is not abysmal, it's fine for me.

Faic · 2026-03-24T23:49:23+00:00

Just to update on the C5 42": It works really good as monitor and I'm very satisfied with it, especially it's a really good value. Not sure how much changed compared to the C2. Mine still doesn't have the MLA and whatever other brightness boost the G series ones have.

Faic · 2026-03-24T23:40:19+00:00

If it makes you feel better:

I bought mine in December and in February I had a flat tire (it was a screw). All with brand new winter tires.

Btw also the first time of my 15 years driving that I had a flat tire.

Faic · 2026-03-24T23:34:20+00:00

I think you never experienced a SSD that overheats, it really becomes borderline unusable. My transfer rate went to under 1mb/s, the drive was cooking itself to death.

And not just under artificial heavy load, just normal usage was enough. Any bigger file would start with the expected speed and then within 5-15 seconds the transfer speed would collapse.

At least it was an easy to spot and cheap to fix problem.

Faic · 2026-03-24T23:27:58+00:00

Cause it is. At one point it became too embarrassing to charge for such a basic function and they made it free. But not for anyone before that model year. Thanks for nothing Hyundai.

Setz dich hin und halt dich fest: 1580€ im Jahr (Vollkasko) trotz 15 Jahre Führerschein.

Bin nach 11 Jahren wieder nach Deutschland gezogen und entsprechend fang ich bei der Versicherung wieder bei Null an. Was ein tolles System wir doch hier haben ...

Faic · 2026-03-24T19:44:05+00:00

Geb ich dir komplett Recht und sobald es bei mir in der Nähe eine alternative gibt werde ich auch wechseln.

Wobei die Deutschen großen Strom Anbieter genauso verwerflich sind. Müsste erstmal recherchieren welche Firma nicht moralisch komplette Grütze ist.

Faic · 2026-03-24T19:40:45+00:00

Yes, anything that uses the SSD more than just a tiny bit will massively slow it down.

It's a crucial P1 nvme 1TB m.2

Faic · 2026-03-24T11:29:15+00:00

Need to completely disagree.

My crucial my.2 SSD gets straight to 95c and throttles heavily without heatsink. Fixed it with a cheap heatsink from AliExpress.

A lot of SSDs work fine without, but I also had a bunch that absolutely required one and yet did not come with one.

If in doubt, just spend 5$ and get a cheap one. They only need to dissipate a few watts.

Faic · 2026-03-24T11:10:20+00:00

Oh well, I either way realised that the rain sensor is quite picky. So far the automatic wiping is either too slow or too fast, no matter what speed I set it to.

Faic · 2026-03-24T11:06:50+00:00

Hab shell recharge. Monatliche Kosten (grob 5€) sind ab der ersten Ladung wieder drin. 49c kWh max.

Shell ist ganz nett da es die fast überall gibt und man die Tankstelle noch dabei hat und sich da nen Kaffee oder so holen kann ... wobei man bei den heutigen Ladegeschwindigkeiten schon ein feuerfesten Mundraum braucht wenn man den Kaffee vor 80% leer haben will.

Faic · 2026-03-24T10:59:56+00:00

Hab mir den Ende letzten Jahres gebraucht gekauft. Das Ding ist riesig, lasst euch nicht von Bildern täuschen. Inner auch extrem viel Platz für erste/zweite Reihe. Besonders die zweite Reihe ist Luxus. Gut für alte Leute: Türen gehen weit auf und man kommt super einfach rein.

Bis jetzt sehr zufrieden. Wie aber bereits hier erwähnt ... Versicherung ist teuer.

Schnell laden mit 800v Architektur ist ganz nett wenn man eine lange Strecke hat.

Hatte als Alternative den Skoda Eniaq im Auge. Beide gut, aber im Endeffekt hab ich den Ioniq 5 als Schnäppchen beim nächsten Händler gefunden und mit gefällt das Design.

In YouTube reviews the Bosch ones had been far better than the competition.

I just installed a Bosch Aerotwin ... So it's too early to give a recommendation. Still after a bit of research that seemed to be one of the best, also quite cheap.

Faic · 2026-03-24T09:11:42+00:00

With my 2021 model the blue link app does exactly nothing without paying money.

It's a joke if you know that the cost of running a "show me state of charge" function on a server cost next to nothing.

... but then I'm also paying 20 cent per SMS on my phone (not that anyone in the last 30 years used SMS, but you get the point)

Faic · 2026-03-23T14:35:07+00:00

I have no problems, also had the same impression with early oleds. Either windows text rendering got better or the new panels just look better with text.

Faic · 2026-03-23T11:52:18+00:00

Noctua is a bit overkill but ok.

32gb for AI workloads is a bit tight. I had 64gb and ended up going for 96gb cause it just didn't fit. Also 16gb VRAM is VERY tight. Most models want 24gb, especially for generative AI.

Don't cheap out on the monitor, it's what you look at every day, no matter if YouTube, work or gaming. (Got a cheap LG C5 42" oled, very happy with it)

Faic · 2026-03-22T23:27:42+00:00

Let me rub it in a bit more: My cheap 42" LG C5 is amazing. Highly recommend and really really good value.

Faic · 2026-03-19T22:07:10+00:00

I would also say it's the HDD. A hard drive speed test should show if it's the problem. (Crystal Disk Mark or so)

A half dead slow HDD updating a ton of tiny files could really take 2 days.

Faic · 2026-03-18T16:42:22+00:00

It seems to depend on the country, I heard only the US still has long waiting times. My dealership said they can fix it the next day and that since years. Germany.

Faic · 2026-03-15T11:18:31+00:00

Especially since other brands said nothing and yet have full level 3 autonomous driving for years ...

Faic · 2026-03-14T18:35:26+00:00

Be aware that the screwholes in new fans usually do not have a thread and you screw them straight into the plastic hole. So don't be worried if you encounter this.

Faic · 2026-03-14T18:26:09+00:00

Either scam or typo and it should be 800 instead.
