The discounts apply to the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 and Kona Electric, and the month-long incentive will last through Jan. 31, according to the Korean automaker’s website. Hyundai’s EVs couldn’t meet the requirements under the clean vehicle tax credit program, which aims to encourage domestic production of EVs and components.

Bummer that they couldn’t get a temporary pass and offer the tax credit. They’re investing in US many and they’re currently building an EV production plant in Georgia, it’s just not online yet. It’s about a year away from starting production lines.

I'll give them a pass when they recall all Hyundai and Kia's they cheaped out on and didn't install immobilizer chips into. That was a US only choice they made to save very little money and put a decades worth of cars at high risk for theft and destruction.

So far they have pushed an alarm software update that did nothing, offered ineffectice steering wheel locks to some customers if they contact their local police department, and get this, a "this car is protected" window sticker. Yes, a sticker that is lying.

Until they do something real to fix their colossal and intentional fuckup, no passes.
