Which one do I buy?
The new 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance (“Highland” refresh)
Or
Hyundai Ioniq 5N
Both are serious performance cars but with everyday usability and the very low running costs you get with an EV.
Note that one of my main concerns is that the Tesla is far more expensive in the UK than it is in other countries. It makes the price gap between the two much closer than it is in other countries.
Given that, which would you go for?
In my opinion the Tesla probably has better efficiency and real world range (they’re good like that!), better software and I get free supercharging. Pair that with super low overnight electricity tariff and for 10,000 miles of driving it will probably only cost about £100 in “fuel”.
The Hyundai looks to be more fun, more character, more aggressive looking, better practicality, proven on track, more practical (hatchback).
Even though the Hyundai is more expensive, if I were to add enhanced autopilot to the m3p it would make them much the same (the Ioniq includes assisted driving).
First world decisions for sure, a very fortunate position to be in! Or maybe I do t buy either…
I REALLY WANT TO READ YOUR THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS!
Thanks for watching.
