As a second note to my main post - I was tracking these since the VW recall because I read awhile ago that recalls happen in clusters, and someone did a paper on it once. When a company is working through a recall and knows there might be an issue, they’ll often hold onto it for awhile if they can (there’s probably some statutory limit) and wait for someone else to announce a recall. The person who announces the first recall in a cluster will often get more headlines/news and a greater impact on their stock.
I thought that was interesting when I read it last time and started keeping track when I saw the VW one which was the first I’d seen for EVs in awhile and wanted to see how many we’d get clustered together. It’s still going with this new CyberTruck one, but I’m not 100% sure that VW was the first.

Yea those are all shit cars as well. I don’t think many would disagree. It turns out several different cars are shitty.

What’s a good EV?
They all have recalls. Very few vehicles have few recalls.

I haven’t bought one yet so I’m probably not the right person to ask. Everyone I know with a Hyundai seems happy, though.

People do like Hyundai’s EVs and I would definitely check them out when you’re looking, but don’t kid yourself that Hyundai also doesn’t have it’s own issues.
For example people have been stealing Hyundai/Kia for years now due to faulty security software that makes it trivial.
