Well, I can already tell you one thing I don't like. The app is terrible. It's not letting me link the driver profile nor set the phone to be used a digital key. Ive watched videos, gone in to the dealer menu, did a full reset on the car. Nothing. When compared to the Tesla app that just straight up works and does so with no lag (there is a delay with Hyundai).
I can't get CarPlay to work either. Keeps telling my I have to use an "approved" cable. None of the ones I try work.
The car has paddles that control the level of regenerative braking (my EV Kona loner had this, too) The difference here is you can click it to a setting call i-Pedal. Which is there version of one-pedal driving like on the Tesla. What's annoying is the car doesn't not remember these settings. So, you have to enable it every time you start the car.
On/Off Button...I had this issue with the Kona EV...After having the Tesla...the idea of a "power" button is pointless and stupid. I constantly get out of the car and forget to turn it off.
Again, this is not a bad car...but I'm having some major frustrations over some functionality. And then some minor annoyances.
No digital key for iOS devices in 2024 models. That starts with 2025. Annoying but not a deal breaker for my wife. Just an annoyance for me.
Not being able to link the driver profiles to app is hopefully just phone call to bluelink.
CarPlay is finicky as hell about which cable you use. Took 5 tries but I finally found one that works.
the worst thing about CarPlay is the car has 3 usb ports. Two in the organizer near you. And one all the forward on the floor under the dash. Guess which one is the one for CarPlay? It’s a stupid design that annoys the shit out of me. The Limited models have wireless CarPlay, but that wasn’t in the budget at the moment.

I've done this in a gas car before, it was embarrassing to say the least.
I also routinely get out of my wife's car and the M2 and just walk away thinking they'll lock themselves lol.
And sold the Lexus, worth way more than I thought for what I believe the condition is. Second time I've sold a car to Carvana (Durango being the first). They make it so easy and offered almost a grand more than Carmax.
