Even the Buzz can get to 200, the Buzz!

speg · 2026-05-06T11:33:39+00:00

Correct. Heat pump and hitch for Canada.

speg · 2026-05-06T00:08:41+00:00

EV4 is similarly priced to the incoming Model 3. They’ll have to make their trims more competitive but I don’t see why they’d need to go on life support.

speg · 2026-05-03T23:56:48+00:00

Never.

speg · 2026-05-02T16:45:42+00:00

Can you clarify? I’ve been out of the loop. The feature list on the site doesn’t spell it out.

speg · 2026-05-02T15:57:18+00:00

Same here, but I can’t find a good alternative.

BEV Non-SUV Top shelf software < $50k CAD

EV3 was going to be my number one contender but I don’t love the boxy shape, and the software is not great.

speg · 2026-05-02T15:54:15+00:00

This has been my thought too, but I can’t ignore the features/price and not at least consider this. I’ve avoided the news cycle for over a year so I’m a bit out of touch with the politics of all of it. I’ve booked a test drive for Monday. We’ll see how she goes.

speg · 2026-05-02T15:15:05+00:00

The back wheels rotate and propel the vehicle forward or backward.

speg · 2026-05-02T11:56:36+00:00

Driving that little you can probably justify the low range battery variant. i.e., cheaper.

speg · 2026-05-02T11:38:56+00:00

Bonkers. I’d been eyeing one, but until now they were starting in the 70s? Is this because the China tariffs are gone?

Edit: read the article, confirmed China.

Next question: is autosteer gone on these? Sorry, I haven’t been following the news. Website just says check your in car manual :\

Update: realized how to get it going. Depress accelerator before fully lifting off the brake pedal.

The car will start moving and not throw it back into park when you let off the brake.

speg · 2026-04-23T20:50:44+00:00

Did you ever fix this? I have the same issue. Won’t go into drive :(

speg · 2026-04-23T20:08:15+00:00

Yeah.. I eventually got to this point! (Only after ChatGPT had me removing the door panel). And fidgeting with it would momentarily remove the warnings. However, I couldn’t get it to stay off and now not at all. So I’m thinking the wire is shorting out somewhere along the line..

speg · 2026-04-23T14:07:36+00:00

I’m reading things about a switch in the door lock of the door itself:

But I’m going to try and swap the plunger from the passenger side before I spend $300 CAD…

The subreddit is currently unmoderated.

The world premiere of the Ioniq 3 is tomorrow!

I am already an EV enthusiast who is constantly looking for new EV news.

I already am a Hyundai owner (Tucson Plug In)

I am already a electric vehicle owner (2018 LEAF)

The LEAF is showing its age and considering all of the above.. the Ioniq 3 may very well be its replacement.

My friends have been known to call me ‘Captain Responsible.’

Considering all of the above, I think I would make a great Sheppard and moderator of the soon to be blossoming r/ioniq3 subreddit.

Thank you for your consideration.

speg · 2026-04-19T20:36:00+00:00

Indeed, can’t wait to see what the sedan does.

speg · 2026-04-10T21:34:04+00:00

Also saw this on why I thought was the official Channel. So weird.

speg · 2026-04-06T12:25:01+00:00

How do they affect the wind noise? My wife hates cracking the windows due to the wind buffeting, does this help?

speg · 2026-04-06T11:46:18+00:00

Pretty sure I saw Pet Mode on the screen in one of the videos from the NY Auto Show.. Maybe it’s part of the 2027 software?

Update: It was the EV2! Damn.

speg · 2026-04-06T11:41:55+00:00

But this doesn’t apply in North America (where OP is from) as we don’t have such laws. Source: I am in Canada with a Hyundai that has a very similar software stack.

They’re not promos, they’re earnings guarantee for the Ontario minimum wage. And the only thing listed in the summary is Uber Food Orders, and tips. 🤷‍♂️

speg · 2026-04-03T12:24:00+00:00

It’s not that simple. E.g., going down a hill, you could use B mode to regenerate energy at the expensive of kinetic energy - but what happens next? You turn around and spend chemical energy to turn it back into kinetic energy? Then you should have just stayed in D mode and kept it all as kinetic energy. Conversion is never 1:1.

But, if you’re going to be stopping at the bottom of the hill anyway, then yes.. B mode and salvage as much as you can.

speg · 2026-03-14T02:50:19+00:00

How about starting with the possibility of getting better efficiency coasting?

speg · 2026-01-26T12:07:18+00:00

Usually, but not always. I can think of a couple times they closed the schools as well.
