Newbie here, wife getting her 2021 Kona (preferred) six months earlier than expected.

You might check that the checkbox setting is not changed back automatically on each start or after some other period. You would think those settings in the list are fixed once set by the driver but that has not been the case on my car.

 

"Correct inflation" is a dartboard depending on whose opinion you're hearing. I'd say push them
all up to 60 PSI like I keep mine and see how it tracks then. At that point you can eliminate
inflation from the equation and concentrate on whether it's truly misaligned or not.

Your mi/kWh will improve regardless.

Correct tire inflation isn't an opinion though you might have an opinion about it

 

Mike, I hope your wife is under 30 and has an electrical engineering degree plus a degree in software engineering or programming from Cal Tech or MIT because these cars are Too Technical. In fact, after I got my 2020 Kona Ultimate EV I wrote to the head of Hyundai Motors and told him they should not sell these cars unless they include a two-week hands-on training course on what all the different tech items and settings are. It's very frustrating when their own Tech Support can't answer. It's not just Hyundai. My wife likes the Mazda 3. She had already had three prior Mazdas including a 2017 when she decided she wanted the 2020 Mazda 3 with Built in Navigation. We picked up the car in July of 2019 after the cars had already been out and selling for at least 7 or 8 months. We had some questions about the Navigation system so we called Mazda Tech Support. The person on the phone asked if we were sitting in the car and asked what year the car was and to describe the display. When we told him 2020 and described the display he said that the car had the newest system on it and they only had information on the 2018 and prior models. I said the car has already been on the market since August or September of 2018 to which he replied, We know; We are waiting for the info ourselves. We never received it from the system developer.

 

I can't tell from the Photos. Is the roof Black? I have the Exact same Kona 2020 EV in the all Grey/Blue Color including the roof and the interior. I thought it was White but it is actually Grey (saiys so on the window sticker). I had to wait 3 months for the car because every car the dealers near me had were all Blue, Black or Dark Grey. If they could find one at another dealership in our colors, the other dealers refused to trade for it. Even though I live in the Los Angeles/Orange County Area (the car capital of America) I have not seen more than one or two of these cars on the road. Plenty of other Hyundais and Konas, but not EV's.

 

First I am glad your wife is happy with the car. That's all that matters. After I wrote the President of Hyundai America asking about Classes for the Car Hyundai had someone call me. They said they would consider what I said and told me I was not the 1st person to complain about the car being too difficult to understand. I have not heard any more from them. I just watch the YouTube Videos on my phone in the car and then change the settings on my car in accordance with the video tutorials.

Navguy12 I do have a question for you. I thought we were talking about the Kona EV Cars. They come in 3 trims, the SEL, the Limited and the Ultimate, which I have. I noticed in your post you said your wife bought the Preferred. I was not familiar with it so looked it up on the Hyundai site. It is not listed on the Hyundai America Websites. Is it a special Canadian Trim Level for the Kona EV? or a different car altogether?

 

Well, well well. I just went to the Canadian Hyundai Website and much to my surprise the Canadian Kona EV's come in 3 trims. The Essential, the Preferred and the Ultimate. I did not know that. Very interesting.

 

That sucks
This is the UK site and they even list the NEXO hydrogen fuel cell
