What city are you in? I think the Ioniq 5 is criminally underrated.

[–] SatouKazuma@ani.social 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Austin, Texas, USA

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Bloody heck, what you still doing up?

It makes me happy that you're a Texan that drives an EV and a Hyundai at that 🤩

[–] SatouKazuma@ani.social 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm only going to be a Texan for a few more weeks haha. Leaving for good in early August.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Where are you heading to? Somewhere warm I hope?

[–] SatouKazuma@ani.social 5 points 3 months ago

Lol fuck no. I'm not originally from a hot climate, and that's one of the reasons I'm leaving hahaha.

[–] SatouKazuma@ani.social 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm actually moving to NYC.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wait, isn't New York colder than Texas? 😂

[–] SatouKazuma@ani.social 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, and...?

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Being from the cold UK, if I was moving it would have to be to a warmer climate. But the food in New York makes it so tempting!

[–] SatouKazuma@ani.social 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, the only city in the world I like more than NYC is Tokyo, but that's a separate discussion. New York is honestly pretty fucking awesome, slight media fearmongering aside.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you ever need a body double to go to Tokyo in your stead, call me! 🙂‍↕️

[–] SatouKazuma@ani.social 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hahaha I'll be fine. I'm going back in December for a couple of months.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Stop making me jealous! 🥺

[–] SatouKazuma@ani.social 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

嫉妬させ止められなくてすみません。でも、あそこで90代の車を買えるかもしれません。ｗｗ

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I woke up to this and it made me laugh aloud. Thank you!

[–] SatouKazuma@ani.social 2 points 3 months ago

Glad I could help! :)

I'd say have a great day but you're 6 hours ahead, so I hope you're having a great day!

How is it underrated? I've heard nothing but accolades from social media, the press, and owners themselves.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 3 points 3 months ago

When you look at the sales, even the Kia sells more and obviously the model 3 is a monarch.
