Hi all, Just pulled the trigger on a reservation from here in Toronto. I've been thinking about it for about a month now.
Im a former Ioniq5 reservation holder and I bailed on that; there were a number of factors why. I wanted to get on the list for the Ocean in case this is the vehicle for me. I love the look of it but it's got to have a level of utility as well. We shall see, but at least the boxy back end gives a good chance at that.
Haha I know the solar roof has absolutely no use here for 6 months of the year. I think the California mode is super cool though. I always wanted a 4Runner when I was a teenager so I could slide that back window down.
I think EV uptake is much higher here than in the US. Primary factors being that gas is expensive here (more than California), and there is a lot of money in the economy here, it's not strange to see cars that tip over $150k. That being said, EVs are not "too expensive" for many people in the GTA. When you do the math, it makes sense. Ill save $300 in gas every month by going EV, and stop sending that much burned fuel into the atmosphere.

Congrats on the Reservation!
That California mode will be so useful during our LONG, HOT, HUMID summer!
