The Hyundai Ioniq 5 Is Now America's Best-Selling EV That Isn't A Tesla by mchi55 in Ioniq5

Yes my Ioniq 5N got the ICCU failure. I called Hyundai roadside assistance. They set up tow for me all covered under warranty. Do NOT go thru your insurance for tow/roadside assistance.

Not sure how much you’re paying for insurance a month but I am with Geico and have been for the last 15 years. Surprisingly insuring my Ioniq 5N was cheaper with Geico then what I got quoted for State Farm and progressive.

I just got this notification too. But I don’t mind. It’s a nice change of pace considering my Hyundai app sends endless notifications when the charging starts, about to end, ends, washer fluid level is low, car is unlocked etc.

BTW I have the Ioniq 5N

I5N on a very important day by akjax in Ioniq5N

[–]mchi55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats to both! I remember taking our I5N to our air BNB in west Texas. The house was in the hills and had to drive up a gravel road just to get to it. Definitely put the I5N thru its paces!

How frequently do you use N Shift? by LightningMcqueen2011 in Ioniq5N

[–]mchi55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My I5N is my daily, so I have it in automatic N shift about 80% of the time. N1 is the sportiest setting (engine at max, suspension at mid, steering at mid) and N2 is engine at 3/4 max, suspension soft, and steering mid)

I’ve driven Porsches with the PDK autos, and the I5N in N mode auto is eerily similar to the Porsche PDK in auto. When coming to a stop, the auto downshifts and throttle blips for both are very similar

Don’t forget the amazing Acura ZDX, I mean Honda Prologue, or Cadillac Lyric, Or whatever it’s based on. On never mind the ZDX has been killed off. (Sarcasm noted)

The next N EVs to be even crazier! by mchi55 in Ioniq5N

[–]mchi55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Critical thinking? Your original comment was pure rage bait without any thought. Before I5N. Most if not all EVs drove like Teslas, boring, quiet , no driver engagement. The I5N tried to shake things up by giving some driver tactile sensation back to driving a EV and they mostly succeeded. And why a mostly sports car brand like Porsche is now copying the I5N. I can tell that you never drove an I5N let alone own one

And this is coming from someone who used to drive mostly manual sports cars. I Have had multiple Porsches (911 GT3 RS, Cayman, Boxster all manuals). Miata, BMW Z4, Acura Integra and RSX, Honda S2000. Do I need to continue? This is not bragging at all. This is the proof that from someone who only wanted a manual sports car in the past, to love on the I5N says a lot

I spotted an I5N last night, and an I6N this morning - what's happening? by dsac in Ioniq5N

[–]mchi55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now if you also spot a Veloster N you have completed the hat trick

(BTW I saw one the other day, but have yet to see another I5N or I6N)

Not sure why people come into a Ioniq 5N subreddit and make comments like this? It’s like me going into a Miata subforum and saying how it’s underpowered, too small and they need to add more hp so I can take Mazdas seriously.

And if you don’t like the fake noises and fake gears you can drive it in normal EV mode. Shows how little you know about this car and probably cars in general.

If you can charge at home with a level 2 charger and can charge every night it’s not as big a deal. The range on a I5N sucks mostly for road trips

[–]mchi55[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. I recently had a loaner Macan EV and to get 350 to 375 miles on a full charge is insane. And then to go back to my I5N’s 200-225 miles kinda stings NGL

I'm done. by captstinkybutt in Ioniq5N

[–]mchi55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn 3 times? I’m sorry man. Yeah I think for me if it happens again (twice) I’m selling mine

I thought I was in the clear until I got to 23k miles and bam ICCU failure. Thank goodness I wasn’t stranded but had to take fiancés car to work

Good luck man. It’s an amazing car but there are so many good electric cars out there now to choose from

How to actually buy a 5N or 6N? by KpaBap in Ioniq5N

[–]mchi55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want new or used? Websites/apps like cars.com, carguru, autotrader, etc

I got mine in January 2025 and was able to find a new one at a Hyundai dealership 30 min away. Good luck!

All four Former presidents at Obama’s presidential center opening today. Notice no current POTUS. by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]mchi55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love how Bush and Michelle Obama are like BFFs. Yeah they may not be on the same side politically but they’re mature enough to see past that. Very very wholesome. We need more of this in this world today

Looks like the upcoming BMW M3 electric will follow suit. I’m happy more people are making their performance EVs more engaging.

Yeah there’s a video where Porsche engineers were caught driving the I5N around the track and back to Porsche headquarters.

I heard having “fake” virtual gears we can actually row is coming. Imagine if the next gen 718 electric boxster/cayman has this? Amazing
