After 1750 km driving the Q4 this week, then my IONIQ 6 I have thoughts. - As far as driving dynamics and how the car feels the HI6 just feels correct to me. More direct and responsive. - ACC and surround view camera on my HI6 are a blessing. - HI6 efficiency is stellar.

One of my favourite things about the Audi was this honestly.

I cut things a *little* close on the return home from this road trip I just did. Good thing my home is a recharge station too!

I saw this today in Pacific Mall and I kinda want to get it...

First hiccup in trip so far, only one of two of the hotel's chargers is functioning and the one that's working is already being used. I have 100 km of range left to find somewhere to fast charge tomorrow though.

Well I didn't expect that I'd be driving an Audi this week but here we are.

Isn't It Ioniq? @isnt-it-ioniq.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Yesterday was an experience. My current car right next to a couple of examples of something I might get next... We'll see how it all works out next year.

I know this is a Polestar 5 but I just love driving it around in GT7. Makes me excited to see the 4 SUV in the near future.

Isn't It Ioniq? @isnt-it-ioniq.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Tomorrow I get another chance to look at the Polestar 4 up close which is very dangerous for my wallet. 😂

Isn't It Ioniq? @isnt-it-ioniq.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Interestingly, the Polestar 4 is pretty much the same size as the IONIQ 6 in most dimensions, but is slightly less long. Also notably the IONIQ 6 is wider with mirrors unfolded, but the Polestar 4 is wider with them folded. Perhaps that explains why it feels very sedan like for me.

I forgot to take good photos but I test drove a Polestar 2 and 4 today... Now I really want a 4, maybe I can save up and get one sometime next year!

In other news, I will be test driving a Polestar 2 and Polestar 4 back to back tomorrow.

Lease deals on Polestars (particularly the Polestar 4) have me very interested while all this drama with my IONIQ 6 plays out.

Some updates from me, the car went to Montréal this weekend and didn't even need a charge to get back, but we still did some street charging for the convenience of it! Original 12 V was having issues recently so I replaced it with an AGM 12 V yesterday. AC has remained working too!
120
Isn't It Ioniq? @isnt-it-ioniq.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
I think I might be needing a 12 V battery soon! Had a dead battery issue today but once boosted had no problems so I doubt it's ICCU. The car is over 3 years old now so it is probably time for a new 12 V anyway.

I decided to take the LRT for fun today and one of my trains on the east west line encountered technical issues. First time using the LRT and I encounter an issue. Wow! This city is certainly a place.

IONIQ 6 N in GT7 at CGV. Disappointingly the car is much slower than the IONIQ 5 N is... 5 seconds around this track with both being stock, running the same tires and not using overtake boost

Anyone have ideas for improving the look of a wear spot like this? It's from my leg brushing up against the console. And no this is not something they cover under warranty unfortunately.

Wrote this over the weekend: I was really worried when my parents showed up with a new Ioniq 6 lease in the middle of rural North Carolina. There aren’t many charging stations, and this was now their only car. Turns out, my worrying was for nothing. They love it. insideevs.com/features/803...

Even if you’re in your 70s and in Rural North Carolina, it’s not hard to live a full EV lifestyle.

Oddly encountered someone today who was all for the Billy Bishop Expansion (I am vehemently against) and they mentioned something to the effect of them thinking most people in Toronto want it actually. If that is the case, why do I see overwhelming support against it?

Call me a luddite but this whole "Software Defined Vehicles" is just... not my speed. Hyundai seems to be going that way which has me concerned that the cars are going to become rather dull.

Note that this does not just mention a single solution, but multiple solutions coming together. We can adopt EVs AND retire old vehicles AND improve public transit AND work towards improving cities' walkability. These things do not have to be mutually exclusive! 😊

Saw this IONIQ 6 just now while on a little lunch walk and it looks almost like it's in Biophillic Blue Pearl? I didn't think that colour was sold in Canada... There's definitely a purple hue to this paint...

Saw a post claiming the IONIQ 3 is coming to North America. I can find no indication from any official source that that is the case.

Not only did two of the teams I was cheering for lose today. They lost wearing the jerseys of theirs that I own one of. 🇯🇵 away 🇩🇪 home Basically if you want a team to lose get me to be a fan of them. I hate it here (sports fandom). 🤣

Still thinking about how I powered a national level sporting event this past weekend with just my IONIQ 6 and a Bluetti AC200Max. Had some people afterwards thinking they could maybe do the same at other archery tournaments to avoid using gas generators.

Where do the people that post "Why are we buying Chinese products" comments think the device they are posting from was made? Chances are if it wasn't assembled there, the components probably were anyway. Why are electric powered cars special? (Since Chinese made ICEVs are already in NA).

I remember when I used to frequent reddit EV forums and people would constantly ask "How can I disable VESS?" the low speed hum noise EVs make to alert pedestrians). Like... you know that needs to be there right?

Very excited to see EVCO member Alan’s electric-converted Ford Ranger “Sparky” has found a new home at Canada’s Museum of Science and Technology here in Ottawa! Conservation work is underway in their workshop, and it will be displayed at some point in the future.
