Just wondering, able to visit the factory to see your car being built? I remember they mentioned this was one of the features of the factory when they announced it.

If breadtalk can let you see the how the bread you are eating being produced, why not! 🙂

Watch the video i posted another thread.  Malaysia has 350kwh DC Charger.

Got faster charger also useless if your car cannot convert such a high current.

You trust Malaysia infrastructure? Build many but maintained by nobody.

@Benarsenal @Kennethoka i think that'll be when the visitor center at Bulim is fully up and running in 2024.

Anyone knows when is expected delivery for the Cat A model if order now?

@Fitmugen No idea.

But, i dont recommend the ioniq 5. It is a good car. I like it.

But, the markup on the car is ridiculous and so i didn't bite as i don't like being taken for a ride.

Cat A Prestige variant. Basic cost is $138k.

They selling at $192k. The profit margin is $54k give or take.

I signed yesterday 😃

The markup is what you see but you don’t know the mechanics of the transfer pricing. Tesla brings in at high OMV and kena taxed heavily by gahmen. Other dealers try to minimize the OMV but you don’t know what other arrangements they have with the principal.

As consumer, we can only compare at the final price and depreciation and choose the car that fits our budget

@Fitmugen Its fair to have your own way of looking at car purchase. I wont say its wrong or right.

If they can push the simulated gear change feature to non-N hyundai EVs, that could bridge the gap in driving feel compared to ICE cars.

One good thing about Hyundai is that they don’t take force u to take loan. Full cash same price.

Never thought ill be saying this, but I happened to follow my friend to test drive the Ioniq 5 58kw version, and man was I impressed! 

The incredible interior space, the generous tech features (HUD etc), the brisk acceleration and the overall comfortable drive feel, all kept me thinking abt it over the wkend... 

SE gave me a pretty gd Motorshow offer, but still thinking thinking..... Worth it to change my W213 for this? Badge wise definitely lose out... But the drive and space improvement is astonishing. 

Any advice (for /against) wil be greatly appreciated!

I met 1 owner yesterday. He is very happy with his car.

He usually get about 500km in Sg.

The car was driven to KL a couple of times with 1 stop.

The iX1 is also another value proposition and at the price of $21xk.. its future proofing for what is to come at least for the next 5-7 yrs. Only Cat A 

 

depre at $21k is vfm 

but the ioniq6 is another contender to think about
