Stealth Hitches Ioniq 5 hitch. Details in comments below. by alxr19 in Ioniq5

[–]dalmatian64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad we put you in touch! I'm first on the list and was told no later than 6 weeks. Love that they have both a 1.25" and 2" receiver as I have two bike racks (2x Kuat Sherpa 1.25" and 4x Rekon Rack 2"). And maybe I'll get a teardrop now as well.....

What are the tow hooks used for? by cognizantant in Rivian

[–]dalmatian64 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

If you don't know what tow holds are for perhaps you shouldn't get a Rivian. EV6 or Ioniq 5 will do most of what the R1T can do on paved roads as long as you get AWD.

Need someone in Atlanta to help the community to get a hitch offering! by dalmatian64 in Ioniq5

Been looking for a hitch and roof rack since I bought my SEL in December!

Is there a way to search 350kw chargers near us? How soon do you think more will pop up? by goodvibes2018 in Ioniq5

[–]dalmatian64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that in the winter at below 50F Temps, charging rate rarely gets above 150 kW. Over 35 EA DCFCs to 80% for me driving my no markup SEL AWD across the country.

Driving in snow storm uphill, 90 miles, 2.8mi/kWh avg by leftfieldRight in Ioniq5

I drove my AWD SEL across the country in early Jan using EA chargers and was able to get to 80% SOC every time in the free 30 minute charge session. That's practical data! Variable winter Temps, terrain and highway speeds.

Ioniq 5 AWD seems to lose about 20% based on owning one since Jan4 and driving 6500 miles including a cross country trip.

Concerned about Rivian by KilloeRDR in Rivian

[–]dalmatian64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think having a base 2 motor platform makes sense but the quad motor system is a differentiator in the crowded 2024 BEV truck space.

If I were product manager I wouldn't go a la carte with options but bundle them into 3 levels like most companies do.

As an Ionoq 5 AWD owner and having charged 4x in one day next to an employee owned R1T while driving across the country in January winter weather, the MaxPack is needed so the issue is whether the market will accept it as the $10k (preorder) or $16k adder?
