Just bought

Hello

On Saturday 24th Feb my wife and myself bought an ioniq 5 Namsan in digital teal green. Pick it up week today. Live near spalding, my father has also bought an ioniq 5 premium model (it’s his first go with electric cars). We have just had a Tesla model 3 long range but the only reason we got rid is because I have a bad knee and the Tesla is awkward getting in and out as it’s so low to the ground.

I pick the same colour one up tomorrow - Ultimate AWD

I pick my 72 plate Ultimate in Gravity Gold Matte finish on Saturday.
I've leased my last 3 cars but now semi retired decided didn't want to pay out £400+ a month.
So looking forward to getting my first electric car . It has the light interior which gives a real luxurious feel.
Has anyone got tips on keeping the matte paint clean e.g best cleaning products
Also as it has no wiper could/should you put a rain repellent spray on it ?

Hi Kph103 - hope you enjoy your car. I am about 1 month into ownership and still smiling when I get in it to drive. Re your rear windscreen question - I recently tried Rain X rain repellent spray. The water was noticeably beading more (looking at it when stationary) but I am not 100% convinced it helped much while driving. I think the problem is not so much the rain but the dirt build up. After driving Passats for many years and the occasional go of my wife’s TT, maybe I am just used to a fuzzy rear view in UK wet and winter. For £6 for a bottle - small gamble.

Sorry to resurface an old post. We waited for Tesla to update the MY and were underwhelmed with the new updates. Short story our MY is useless for anything using camera/Tesla vision.

Switching to the Ioniq 5N will be a big change and just wondering on your experience as a previous Tesla owner?
