Prying Model 3 from my hands ... Ioniq 6

From my personal experience, my Hyundai Sonata Plug-in is below average in reliability. Not only has it left me stranded twice on the road, but it's been in the shop for multiple expensive repairs. Thankfully, for the most part they have been covered under the 5 year warranty and 8 year emissions warranty, although I have shelled out over a thousand dollars in non-warranty covered repairs to the engine. Honestly, I don't trust the car to go long distances.

So from my experience, Hyundai has nothing to brag about.

If you believe Consumer Reports, they generally have given Hyundai/Kia EVs and average reliability score for cars that have been out a couple of years. The Tesla model 3 also gets and average reliability score.

Plus, I've always thought if Tesla makes such bad cars, why are they selling so many of them?

You've just discovered hybrids suck. I've had Hyundais (non-hybrid) that I've tried to kill and didn't succeed. Also my experience with the Kona EV is good (no issues; beats M3 LR at range with smaller battery, unless you get into fast driving; cheaper; what can I complain about?). Tesla is selling so many cars because they are serving a great (thirsty) market (EVs) and they were smart enough to secure resources and to create the plants to serve that demand. They deserve the money they make! (their EV market share is decreasing though) It's much more difficult to get your hands on a Hyundai EV than a Tesla. That isn't a valid argument that one is better than the other (even though in my opinion, one actually is).

Also: the comparison between ioniq 6 and M3 is extremely far fetched. Ioniq6 has 10cm more passenger legroom than Model S! They're not even remotely in the same league.
