I just leased an Ioniq 6 from a Hyundai dealership end of October. The salesperson was great, but she didn’t know anything about EVs, especially their own. She even admitted it was the first one she’s sold.

I went back a week ago and found the same 5 Ioniq 6’s sitting there. I’m pretty sure they’ll stay there for quite a while.

She even admitted it was the first one she’s sold.

She hasn't even sold that one, since you leased it instead of buying it.

Fair enough, I went lease because everyone’s going NACS soon.

NACS?

Tesla’s plug. Nearly every auto manufacturer has announced changing to it in future EV generations.

Thanks!

That's definitely one of the smarter reasons for leasing I've ever heard.
