Inundated with complaints, Tesla created "Diversion Team" to cancel appointments.

Tesla has consistently exaggerated the driving range of its electric vehicles, reportedly leading car owners to think something was broken when actual driving range was much lower than advertised. When these owners scheduled service appointments to fix the problem, Tesla canceled the appointments because there was no way to improve the actual distance Tesla cars could drive between charges, according to an investigation by Reuters.

    I agree the interior looks extremely bland in pictures. I personally think it’s much better in person.

    I have one on order and compared to the Kia EV6, Volvo XC40, VW id.4. Getting in the drivers seat of all these cars feels almost like getting into a sleeping bag. The center consoles are tall, the bottom of the windows are tall, the dashboards are pulled up and almost over you like a blanket.

    The Ioniq 5 feels very spacious around you in comparison. The center console is lower and more open, the center console is not connected to the dashboard, so you could easily hop between the drivers seat and the passengers seat. The doors are equally tall, but it seems like they are further out, probably due to the handle design. The roof feels higher, and especially in the glass one, much more spacious. The dashboard also feels a bit more clean, and a bit more like a computer on a desk in front of you, that a plane cockpit around you.

    All the other cars certainly feel more sporty, like a racecar, and the Ioniq feels casual and comfy.

    All of them are great to drive, but in the end, the comfort was the deciding factor for me. I’m still waiting on my Ioniq being delivered though.
