FWIW, when I was looking a mechanic told me to run from the Ioniq. Just not reliable I was told.

It's pretty much a zero-maintenance car, with good reliability reviews and better build quality than Tesla, coming from one of the most reliable manufacturers on the planet.

The mechanic was pulling your leg.

@DoesntExist @brucy @chad "Zero maintenance" has me wondering if it might be a selection bias problem: the mechanic might not tend to see many Ioniqs going through their shop, except the ones that see more severe failures - even if those are rare or due to particular circumstances (e.g. abuse).

(Also, I assume there is still *some* regular maintenance, if little? My priors are that no mechanical system is zero-maintenance unless intended to be disposed of after failure...)

@brucy was it an independant EV mechanic or a Hyundai mechanic? Did they mention anything specifically? Curious the reasoning.
