@@palebeachbum Bought two and they worked out great for me. No range reduction when I purchased them and 100k powertrain warranties on both. The depreciation on EVs is awesome for the 2nd owner.
This was a great review of the g80. I think it makes a great used car for someone looking to get into an electric vehicle with the same comfort and feel as a regular vehicle. Time will tell in the next 3 years for these used models.
Kinda wished the G80 had a rear hatch like the Model S. Tbh, every sedan would be better off with a hatch. The best sedans are hatchbacks, like the Audi A7, Kia Stinger, Model S.
A hatch/liftback design expands storage options but I'm sure there's a reason it's not adopted across the board. I couldn't tell you why though. -Travis
@@GaryKetchum808 i think some old folks find it easier to close the lid of a trunk than a hatch and yes they hate mechized stuff. Theres a reason why the es exists and you mainly only see older people use it
In the real world Hyundai/Genesis products will charge at 100 kW at V3 Tesla Superchargers once they gain access and the public CCS chargers are almost always broken or derated.
It's very pricey for the compromises present. No frunk with that size hood, small trunk, passenger foot wells reduced, charge times not great, no folding rear seat.
You might check again on price. I was looking at a Model S. Then I saw the Genesis G 80 Electric. You can buy these for $50k. Much better than a models S. Check around.
Buys must be aware of Hyundai/Kia’s potential cost of battery repair/replacement 😱 There are stories of EV6 owners getting their cars totaled after minor bottom scratches, because the whole battery must be replaced at >$60k; otherwise, the owner ‘would lose all battery warranty and will be liable for any battery fires’.
just as I held off buying my last iPhone until they switched from Lightning to USB-C, I would hold off buying any 2024 model EV with a CCS port knowing that next year every EV in North America will likely come with a NACS port, which will be the North American standard charging format for the next decade or more. While non-NACS port is a minor feature overcome with an adapter, IMHO it's a deal killer.
It's going to take awhile for all the current charging stations to switch over but if you plan on keeping your vehicle for a long time it's worth a consideration. -Travis
That charge door seemed to be really flimsy. It also looked like the front passengers would essentially be sitting on the floor. I wonder what the comfort is like in those front seats? For $80k you should just buy a Tesla Model S.
Unless Hyundai / Kia sort out it's battery replacement pricing I wouldn't touch any EV from them. $60000 for Ioniq 5 battery then this got to be $90000 for battery replacement
There is something definitely fishy going on at Hyundai considering Tesla’s battery replacement is $20k. Wondering if Hyundai has a serious dealer problem.
That is definitely a bit strange. GMs Ultium battery is about $25K in the Hummer and Escalade I.Q. Ram will have the biggest battery on a passenger vehicle and it is about $27K.
The quote was in CAD, it was closer to $46,500 USD. Not saying there's no merit to that story but that's already being addressed and expect the resolution will make that number much more reasonable. -Travis
