I love everything about this car but the software
The drive is excellent, the feel is excellent, the road noise, everything is fantastic. Some issues that have been annoying:
1. Charging can be finicky when I'm not paying for it. It's annoying to drive to my family's house, they have the right plugs, but I still can't charge. It seems that most CCS level 2 chargers don't work, even with the adapter; NACS chargers appear to work.
2. Verizon integration? Why do I want Verizon knowing where I am all the time? I know I have to share data with Hyundai, but why do I have to share data with Verizon? That's such a bummer.
3. Someone else registered my car for bluelink and Hyundai can't clear that registration, so I guess it doesn't matter that Verizon sees where I am, since it's linked to someone else?
4. Android Auto consistently fails. If it's plugged in, it crashes after 15 minutes or so. If it's not plugged in, 50/50 chance things work. I would just use bluetooth, but since I need Google maps (problem 3, anyone?)
5. The proximity warnings are _way_ too aggressive. I can have someone 1.5 carlengths back and it will scream when I change lanes in front of them, despite me accelerating to faster than they are. It complains when people leave the lane in front of me, but not when people cut in front of me. The assistent cruise control will actually _accelerate_ into someone merging into the lane in front of me, which is just weird behavior. Definitely need to keep an eye on it, which is within the expectation of the system, but it would be cool if this behavior were fixed.
6. If I'm in a parking lot and I'm in reverse, the proximity alarm will continue to scream about how close I am to the pillar in front of me. I'm not in drive, and because it's already yelling, I can't rely on the audio signal for someone walking or driving behind me; the car is already crying wolf.
7. One reason I would've gone with the Limited would be built-in dashcams; I'm not looking forward to retrofitting one into the car, but hey, gotta have one nowadays.
Honestly, I love everything about the car, except these niggling software issues that really just annoy me. Would I keep it past the lease? Depends on if there are software fixes to these problems.
