Reserved 2x of them, 1 for me and one for my sister.
I reserved one too. I don‘t live in any of the states they are coming out in though, so I used my Aunt’s zip code will pick it up if I pull the trigger lol

Im right beside PA if that means I have to go over to grab it I will, weird rollout plan tho, you would think its a little bit per dealership not per state.

I also put in a reservation.
The Transaction ID they use eliminates the "What is my order number?" game ?
You mean the cat or baby smacking the keyboard ID? Yeah, it’s gibberish haha. I haven’t gotten a call from the concierge yet, but hopefully soon. I’m very impressed with the value of this car rings. The augmented reality headset is so cool!

Man that’s fast service! I haven’t received a call yet, maybe they’re doing it by state, or region. I placed my order in Florida though, I live in the Midwest so it’s going to be a long drive lol

Really digging the exterior look of the car. Very retro/nerdy with the pixels and all that, looks fun. V2L is great and I think more vehicles should have that versatility. 800V is so great, really makes you question a 400V car as obsolete already. Maybe not quite that drastic, but hopefully every vehicle gets there eventually.

Little frunk is disappointing and I'm not a huge fan of the front seat area. ID4 and this just seem like they tried to make it futuristic and minimal with the little screens and the goofy shifters. and its just not my cup of tea, but others seem to like it so hopefully it sells well.

Overall, great first EV. Great to see car manufacturers prioritize things besides just 0-60 to make a great vehicle for a bigger audience. :like:

We should probably replace our commuter car soon since our 2012 Kia Soul has over 200,000 miles. Our Kia has been reliable and inexpensive to maintain since we bought it new so another Hyundai / Kia vehicle seemed reasonable. We configured and reserved an Ioniq 5 Monday night and we got a call from the concierge team within 5 minutes. I was impressed.

We still need a Rivian to replace our LR3 which has almost 220,000 miles.

I like the exterior styling of the Ioniq, weird as it sounds it reminds me of a Delorean.

I know this has been touched on in the past, but is the Rivian running an 800V architecture or 400? Let me guess "We are as excited as you, and can't wait to share those details with you soon!"

Hyundai is doing a live walk-through of the Ioniq 5 on their main website. I was able to ask a few questions. This is what I’ve been wanting Rivian to do for over a year. They’re going to be back in 30 minutes so you can go ask your questions too, and they are going to have different people available to ask questions for the next week until the 10th. Very cool to see a live demonstration of the interior and exterior, and super o,pressed with Hyundai lately: https://www.hyundaiusa.com/us/en
