The discounts apply to the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 and Kona Electric, and the month-long incentive will last through Jan. 31, according to the Korean automaker’s website. Hyundai’s EVs couldn’t meet the requirements under the clean vehicle tax credit program, which aims to encourage domestic production of EVs and components.

    Taking things with a grain of salt is absolutely fair. I would say researching potential issues you should look for outliers and patterns, and that healthy scrutiny has been applied. To me this seems like an actual incident, but I encourage you and everyone else to treat the claim as needing verification.

    This particular case is well documented, publicized and scrutinized, and involves a cascading list of failures on either the dealer or Hyundai. I’m usually more inclined to blame a dealership since their quality can vary greatly, if it weren’t for the lackluster response from the parent company despite the spotlight.
