Their earlier vehicles were all-aluminum, which is difficult to repair, and would increase associated costs.
Totally agree. Last Friday they told me I can have a test drive this Monday but on the morning of Monday when I asked if I can go for test drive at scheduled time, they replied that the car was not ready yet...
When did you put your pre order down?

Did you order the performance? Sorry. Nvm. LolI did my test drive in Sherbrooke Québec this morning and got my VIN! Apparently the car is on a train and that can take a couple of weeks from Vancouver with loading and unloading. I was told the cars do not need to transit from Toronto anymore as there is a new terminal arrangement in Montreal. Cars can be traced once they are on the truck transit, not on a train. You can track the car with the vin number and postal code of the dealer at
This means I can expect the car in the next 3 weeks.Vehicle Shipment Tracking | Hansen's Forwarding

Other than that, the car I tried was White with blue interior Performance, exactly like my order. I do not have much to add to all that has been said. Maybe that the tires are not made for performance even though they are very wide. They are still eco tires made for confort and low resistance.
I did not have much time to try all the settings and gadgets but they look like a lot of fun for a techie like me. When I got on to the highway, I had a pickup in front of me on the ramp going about 75 I guess. I pushed on the boost button and next I looked at the speedometer after passing the pickup I was at 164km/h. Just like that. Everything was so quiet and smooth I did not notice the speed.
Anyway, I will be hitting that track button pretty often in the next days.

The car is pretty much what I expected after reading all the reviews and comments from other members. The surprise was not so big. I does correspond to what I want and I like the shape and size of the car. The ground clearance is bit higher than that of a car, but not like an SUV. Just nice.

Just had my test drive in Montreal this morning.
Overall the car is exactly what I expected. Very nice and price-appropriate interior. Exterior is a little wonky in my opinion but was neither better or worse than expected. It’s a bigger car than you may expect though.
It does come with both charger (110v non-changeable to nema) and V2L.
Was unsure about finger print to start as the dealer had not tested yet.
Was not impressed with the bang an olufson. But I’m very picky. No where near as good and clear and dynamic as the ELS in Acura’s RDX for example - although may be some EQ settings I missed.
The drive is predictably quick. A little too sensitive in sport mode with regen at max and way to sensitive in boost - even compared to my model 3.
Super quiet and smooth ride but you can really feel the weight - even compared to Ionic 5 if my memory serves me correctly. Felt a little floaty on one stretch of road in standard mode.
If you compare strictly to other premium ev’s coming this year and take into account the current market as of Today (rising interest rates and prices) I think the price is appropriate (ie. disappointingly high yet not warranting cancellation).
But the problem is that the ionic 5 and EV6 exist - and are so good and so well priced. We shouldn’t really be comparing to those but it’s hard not too
Anyways I will probably move ahead as I change cars every year or less and can surely lease or finance transfer it when I want without an issue.
I am roughly #48 . First small batch (around 20) arrived in Canada with new batches arriving every few weeks. Yet my status shows “being built this month” which is what was said last month. Dealer suspects it’s all meaninlesss as car could be made and still at port in Korea and/or they are prioritizing performance models vs my advanced. He figures I’ll have it by end of July but all speculation at this
Depending on where you are located , Mississauga Genesis at Square One has the mint with the white cream interior ! Looked great but mint is not the colour for me
Still waiting in Winnipeg for our demonstrator to arrive, but it sure sounds great so far. As for not comparing to the Ev6 and Ioniq, I feel it’s inevitable. I get brands are sharing platforms to offset costs. However if they want to share platforms, batteries and motors there opening up a comparison to themselves.Just had my test drive in Montreal this morning.

In other non-north american market, you could choose a more basic version.
