Hyundai plays the good guy and drops the price of the Ioniq 5 to alleviate the loss of the EV tax credit.

There shouldn't be that much padding in the profit margin to begin with. And if you're going to tell me that they're eating the cost, they aren't.

This comes at the cost of affordable and practical vehicles. Don't buy.

Hyundai gives the Ioniq 5 a huge price cut for model-year 2026

The Korean automaker’s price cut comes in as the clean vehicle tax credit dies.

Just started reading #ThePriceIsWrong and it strikes me that the core argument that the desire for renewable energy to be cheap through competition is fundamentally in tension with the need to attract investment by offering a profit margin rhymes with this classic post by @danielkayhertz on why housing can't be both affordable and a good investment.

The DEAD BARKER and his fellow FALSE PROPHETS have led you all astray. Every one of them a WANDERING STAR, obsessed with CATS' BALLS. More stray cats is a GOOD thing because it means more CATS. There are far more BIRDS than there need to be. It is not "fixing" a cat to sever their vasa deferentia or fallopian TUBES and make fewer kittens to fill us with delight. What is an alley without cats? A RATS' nest. Remember: SATAN hates cat CUM.
