Typically Privacy Glass is when the glass itself is darkened during manufacturing, whereas tinted is film applied to the glass after it is made.

I didn't realize factories ever applied tinting film.
Me either, that's the part I found weird. Maybe they have local dealers apply them?
Edit:
Did a bit of searching which is hard because manufacturers seem to use the terms fairly interchangeably, but the difference appears to be:
Privacy glass: Pigment used during glass manufacture to darken the glass itself
Factory tint: Added through deep dipping, an electronic process that coats the glass to give it a darker shade.

I think they have dropped the rear side pull up blinds in favour of tinted and privacy glass.
Thanks for all the info!
Sweet, time to check out this link!

The AWD system doesn't appear to be manually switchable, but seems to behave differently depending on drive move. On eco and normal, the front motor only engages when the car thinks necessary. On sport mode, the front motor appears to be engaged all the time (or at least more often). I get this from one of the Asian Petrolhead videos where he shows a closeup of the instrument display.
Granted, I'm sure some drivers would love to control it directly, but that said it's a clever system IMO. It should provide all or most of the benefits of a conventional AWD system with maybe half the efficiency loss or less.
If that is the actual operational characteristics at least it is somewhat selectable. In adverse conditions that could be quite handy, thanks for the update.
Good sales already:

After discussing the imminent arrival of my car in the next few weeks with my dealer a couple of days ago, I just received the following email: ****!!
Dear Mr XXXXXX
As a valued customer, I am writing to inform you of some important updates to the arrival of IONIQ 5 into the UK.
We had previously communicated that the first IONIQ 5 models, including our limited edition Project 45 models were due to arrive in the UK in late June/early July.
As you know, the Project 45 models are highly specified and come with a range of additional features and equipment above the standard model. Unfortunately, due to supply constraints on some components, the manufacture of the Project 45 vehicles is delayed.
Production of right hand drive IONIQ 5 Project 45 vehicles is scheduled to be complete during July and allowing for shipment and inland transport we anticipate that deliveries can be completed from late August through September.
We sincerely apologise for the delay and any inconvenience this may cause. My team will remain available to you during this period and they will update you as soon as possible with a definitive delivery schedule.
I personally wish to thank you for your patience so far and I am sure that your special IONIQ 5 will be worth the wait.
Regards
Ashley Andrew
Managing Director

Yep I've got that email too and a lot of ?&%$£%)@> also came out of my mouth
The "supply constraints" are not clearly defined, is it battery supply or the chip shortage?
Hopefully Hyundai can provide some guidance and administer some form of suitable compensation for the delay based on the assurance that it will be "worth the wait".
When we pre-ordered in Canada (July 2018) for the 2019 Kona EV, a $100 gift card was sent in December which was nice... didn't receive the car till end of Feb
so 8 months wait

Thanks to COVID-19, I had to wait a year for my electric MINI Cooper SE. While I was waiting, MINI sent out a letter of apology with a matted designer sketch of the car. The dealer gave me a pair of MINI Cooper socks. (Don't ask what a matted designer is--I don't know.)WOW $100 for 8 months wait such generosity, I would prefer free car insurance for a year well no harm in being cheeky

I'm beginning to think $100 for 8 months is looking quite good compared to a print and a pair of socks, mind you Mini Cooper socks might be quite valuable on ebay in the future but don't wear them, trying to imagine me in Ioniq 5 Project 45 socks with little LED's to match the cars lights
Nah I'm going to be cheeky and ask for insurance and or a home charger.

Oh yeah, house insurance is a great idea with a new from the ground up vehicle
Assuming you would be around to collect on it.

I think they were referring to Hyundai Car Insurance - typically costing from £500pa upwards in the UK
