Last night I got a 2026 Limited Digital Teal. The dealership had to drive a Palisade 520 miles (one way!) to trade for the Ioniq because NOBODY had one (at least not that they were willing to let go of) any closer than that in Digital Teal or Cosmic Blue that had a light interior (we've been looking for weeks).

I paid more than I wanted to and didn't get as much for my trade as I'd hoped, but holy wow this car y'all.

I was driving it for about five minutes when I was like "...okay...this is gonna be a problem. I'm never going to be willing to drive anyone else's car again as soon as I get used to this..." The side mirror display! The HUD!!!! The air conditioned seats! (I live in Texas, hence the thousand mile trip without leaving the state and the demand for light interior and ventilated seats). I am in love with that HUD.

It was raining as we were leaving the dealership at 8 PM and pouring this morning so I don't have a good picture yet.

I didn't get home until almost midnight (the dealership was 2 counties over) and had to go to work this AM so I really haven't had time to do all the set up yet, and I also have to work this weekend so I may not be able to get to it this weekend.

I do have one question: I can charge this for free at work on a level 2 charger, but it's an ABM, and I was having serious difficulty getting it to work this morning. I wasn't sure if it was user error or the charger, but someone else pulled in to it as soon as I left and it was working for him, so it's clearly user error. Am I doing something wrong? (I scanned the code, hooked up, tried unlocking and relocking the doors, disconnected and reconnected the cable and adapter, all of that repeatedly; I even walked away for about an hour so I could go download the app hoping for a better experience, all no dice). The ABM app did not show up on my home screen when I connected the charger.

Thanks in advance; I'll pay the picture tax as soon as I can get a decent picture!

There is not a digital teal with green interior available within 500 miles of me. I'm in talks with a dealer and he's been great, but in the meantime I'm stuck looking at aftermarket accessories.

I am stuck on the limited because I want the ventilated seats (I live in Texas). A black interior its RIGHT out (because I live in Texas), but are there any of the car seat covers that protect the seat while letting the ventilation through?
