Yeah, if my car was beyond repair tomorrow and I needed a new one, I'd be getting either a Hyundai Ioniq 6 or a Silverado EV. A few years ago, I would've been leaning toward the Model 3.

I really want a bolt euv but I’m put off by them cancelling and then uncancelling it. I’m worried what will happen when they stop making the car (and therefore parts for it) a year or two after I bought it…

[–] reallynotnick@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No car is made forever, even a next generation isn't going to use the same parts and this has regularly happened with cars when they make new generations, it's not a new problem.

Hyundai Ioniq 6

Please don't buy that one due to significant safety concerns with the i-pedal driving mode feature https://youtu.be/U0YW7x9U5TQ

THANK GOD. Also thank you for sharing this information. That fact scared the actual shit out of me

Yeah, hopefully other EV designers learn from this.

Just don't use one pedal mode.

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So. What's your plan here exactly? Are you just going to tell all of the owners don't use that feature or ?

[–] stankmut@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm saying if you want an EV6 and you don't care about one pedal driving, then you don't have to worry about that problem. It's an optional driving mode that I personally don't use since I dislike it.

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

While I understand your perspective I don't think you're seeing mine.

I understand I don't have to use that feature, I'm concerned about the (now fixed) safety violation the feature presents by not indicating that someone is breaking when those drivers who want to use it choose to do so.

Simply saying "don't use it" only fixes it in one instance.

[–] CharlestonChewbacca@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm concerned about it too, but telling people "don't buy it" isn't any more helpful than saying "don't use this feature."

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see my failure, I thought I included "until it's fixed" in my original statement. That's what I get for posting during work
