I'm curious I was at my local Hyundai dealer today, test drove ionic 6. Talking to the sales rep. He said they were allocated 4 for first go around. Does anyone think GM's production levels would be higher then Hyundai. Just trying to get more of a feel if I can expect more or less allocations at my local chevy dealer. Oh here was the ionic 6 I drove .

Four Hyundai's? That cover just two car buyers. They'll need to buy two. One to replace the one that's stolen...

"Hyundai and Kia thefts keep rising despite security fix
Nearly three months ago, Hyundai and Kia unveiled software that was designed to thwart an epidemic of thefts of their vehicles, caused by a security flaw that was exposed on TikTok and other social media sites, So far, it hasn’t solved the problem. Across the country, thieves are still driving off with the vehicles at an alarming rate."

Ditto Kia.

I suspect Chevy dealers that sell more Chevy's (especially those that sold Volt, Bolt) will get a higher allocation. What that number is is unknown outside GM executive offices.

Lol thankfully my area crime isn't crazy like other cities, it does exist but not as bad. And I hope we get more then 4 as I'm #6. I'm sure the 2rs will be low maybe none.

Baltimore joins lawsuit against Hyundai, Kia as thefts continue to soar. Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown recently joined 17 other local prosecutors in calling on the federal government to issue a recall for particular Hyundai and Kia models that have been stolen at increased rates within the past year.

I did sit in the IONIQ 6 a few weeks ago. It was a really nice-looking car and made well. However, the LTD was around $60,000 USD and what stinks is that that's the only trim that offers a sunroof here in the States. The lower trim EQs offer a sunroof. Hyundai's only advantage might be a quicker charging speed.

Those are certain models prior to 2022 MY. Hyundai and Kia thought cars didn't need immobilizers. They learned. They also messed up the flow planning and forgot that people could unlock their doors with a key and skipped re-checking the interior at ignition-key-turn so the immobilizer didn't turn off. They learned about that too.
