Friends had his Project 45 for a while now seems pleased with it but wasn't impressed when we all went away together and he had to stop to charge whilst we carried on and arrived hour earlier than they did !. Rear screen doesn't have a wiper on it ?

Correct.

Correct.

Latest model has added an extra camera, I think?

Yep

Mine is a year old last month and has a camera for rear view that I can switch on if needed.

Can't find any good deals on this with reasonable delivery dates and now I'm hook line and sinker.

Supply & demand - your looking at 40/45 week lead times unless your amazingly lucky and fall on a cancelled order. Equivalent EV6 is Q3 2023 as well.

Yeh I am going to put myself on call list for any cancelled order - that's the best can be done problem is I wanted matte paint so that really limits my options

When we were sorting ours out we were told there was 2 greys and black available. By the time I called back the following day there was only black available. They go quickly.

I popped down to my local Hyundai garage at the weekend and was advised that a set of four tyres would cost around £1,000 due to them being custom made for the car. Is that really accurate? That’s crazy for a car trying to open EVs to the masses if so.

I’m not an owner (I was actually looking at Tucsons at the time), but I’d like to be one; that’ll make me think twice if true!

depends if they're quoting for Michelin or Pirelli, for example, it could well be right. If, however, you were to buy Hankook or Toyo (for example) your bill could be considerably less...

Black Circles quote £208 for Michelin Crossclimate or £183 for Pilot sport 4 (fitted)

Was the for 19" or 20"

Bugger me, that’s expensive. Why does everything have to have such stupidly big wheels these days? My Octavia vRS is <£100 per corner for Goodyear Eagles in 18”!

Bmw charged my lease company £300 each for 2 rear tyres for my i3s last week...

They are a very odd tyre size though and no other vehcile on the road uses them.

Just checked and even Camskill are asking £2-220 a tyre without delivery or fitting for 195/50R20's.

The Ioniq 5 ultimate spec tyres are 255/45x20, Michelin Pilot Sport EV, FWIW.

Hi All, appreciate the advice from everyone in this thread who is Ioniq 5 over or potential owner! I have been offered a MY2022.5 for delivery at the end of November in shooting star grey in ultimate spec. This is really interesting as i just placed a factory order which I was told 40 weeks (so next May/June at earliest for a 2023 model.

Now the catch - sadly this is smaller battery 125kW Ultimate 58 kWh v the 168kW Ultimate 77 kWh so I will lose some speed and range. Is there much else different in the MY 2022.5 version than the 2023?

I will also be paying couple grand more over the lease but of course I will get the car MUCH sooner and not have to extend my current lease. Really puts me in catch 22 (no pun intended!) situation..

If it was me I would wait. You might get another cancellation, given the affordability crisis.

Everyone has their own priorities but for me they were:

Bigger battery
AWD / Ultimate spec
Tech pack
Nice colour

I got a cancellation with all but tech pack which merely adds some “nice to haves”. I wouldn’t skimp on the battery especially (personally).

Hang in there!

Thanks for the response mate and patience is a virtue. I will hang on and it does make sense to get the bigger battery alone which is such a key part of an EV!

I know it must be so tempting to get one sooner.

I suppose as well as the above, the one you have ordered will also have 225bhp instead of 168bhp.......POWEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
