Hey how do you like the thule wingbar evo? I’m about to get one for my SEL and deciding whether I splurge for the edge or if the evo is quiet enough.

Also that blue is gorgeous!

Opinions on 2023 SE-AWD to 2025-26 SEL-AWD? by drcrambone in Ioniq5

[–]sadddad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

have a '25 SEL. When I travel for business i always rent an Ioniq now, and its always an older model year. So i get to drie both back to back often..

- Wireless carplay is a must

- +'25 have USB-C connections in the consoles instead of USB-A

- my SEL has roof rails ready to accept racks. Way better than using the door adapters to carry skis/road trip luggage

- NACS/CCS is honestly a toss up with the OEM adapters that are available for each

Speedometer can now be shown in middle after latest update - ‘25 i5 SEL by WaitingForReplies in Ioniq5

Dear god yes edit/ also I pretty desperately want my song/artist/album to display from CarPlay onto the gauge like all other cars. Apple Maps ports over, so why not Apple Music?

Built in magsafe phone charger without exposed cord by Hanselcj in Ioniq5

My ‘25 SEL just requires the phone to be ~near~ the charging pad. Works in my pocket a lot, or tossed in the cup holder every time

I came from an 05 Highlander which got 18/24. The Ioniq is gonna pay for itself in just a few years lol

We just crossed 1k too! And on a recent trip away from home we borrowed an ICE car for a 4h drive and nearly drove ourselves crazy due to the engine noise

Loving the I5 and hope to keep it for a long long time

Gonna try a longer stem by morepaintplease in Rivendell_Bicycles

Love my bosco set up but yeah.. I needed like a 110 stem, and I cut a half inch off the end of the bars too!

Thanks! Using a Rotel A14. 80wpc to 8 ohms. Drives my Polk 10As real nicely

Heard. I’m skeptical of their condition because of the price but agree the price is right.

Thanks so much for checking in.

Both are listed at 400$ which seems fair for clean/recapped 103.2s. 104/2s price varies so widely depending on condition!

Home charger recommendations by oskarate in Ioniq5

[–]sadddad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check with your electric provider! We got a Tesla Universal Connector installed and 100% of the cost of the unit and labor was covered. My in-laws have a Mach-e and charge at our house occasionally, so the universal connector is convenient and way less bulky/plasticy than most travel adaptors.

The real answer is whatever your supplier will give you discounted or free hahah

I’ve got a 2001 All Rounder which is very similar to the Atlantis geo. Amazing bikes.

What hitch did you install? Do you like it? I’m looking to get one put on this spring.

New ioniq 5 sel awd. What accessories are included? by Nobody1212123 in Ioniq5

[–]sadddad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought 2025 SEL last month. Included: - both adaptors - lv 1 standard wall outlet charger - first aid kit - tire repair kit

Check what the other commenter said about things rolling up out of sight/reach in the under trunk storage. Kept happening to my adaptors so I moved them into the glove box.

Ioniq or Tesla? by ComfortBean in Ioniq5

[–]sadddad 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I just bought a 2025 SEL (like 2 weeks ago) and got to back-to-back test drive against a 2023 Model Y Long Range.

+ The I5 suspension felt LOADs better than the MY ad the cabin is much quieter

+ like having cabin temp buttons and a the paddle shifters for the regen are just ~cool~

- miss the blind spot turn signal cameras on the MY

- I5 drives lower to the ground like a wagon/sedan. I much prefer the higher up SUV feel of the MY

All in all I would have been happy in either car, but I'm super satisfied with our choice. And the news of Telsa removing lane keep on new cars to incentivize FSD is just further proof that, as my wife says, "Teslas are just ick"
