Hyundai IONIQ 6 undercuts base Tesla Model 3
Although I will add that even a maximum rebate paired with the best possible financing (1.49% over 60mo) is still north of $600 a month.

Absolutely. Hyundai has been hitting it out of the park lately. I’m excited for more manufacturers to start competing in the electric market.
I'm starting to run into a few people here in California who say something to the effect of "Oh, I bought my Tesla before Elon went crazy."
And there are a hell of a lot of Ionic 5s on the roads now. Seeing a price cut like that sure makes the six look tempting, but I just can't get over how hideous that trunk looks.
Granted, I'm not exactly in the price demo to be buying any EV at this point (except maybe the Bolt) LOL.
*in the United States only
The Model 3 is still cheaper if you include the $7500 tax credit. Competition will get interesting in the next 2 years as more carmakers get their US battery factories set up and eligible for the rebates again.
I wish Hyundai would make a smaller Ioniq 5 that's the size of a Civic Hatchback, but obviously the public "needs" their crossovers.
