Although they've improved from their early days, Hyundai/Kia have never been one of the brands with a reputation for long term reliability, like Toyota and Honda. Any reason to believe they'll do better with their electric models?
And Hyundai/Kia like ruining their reputation by skimping in costs in ridiculous ways, like deciding to leave out basic hot wiring prevention that’s universally standard on cars these days. The result, TikTok videos demoing how to steal the cars for “lolz” and a rash of Hyundai/kia thefts.
Edit: although to be fair Tesla has a terrible reputation for weird part substitutions
