    FYI, when driving the Ioniq 5 in one-pedal mode, the brake lights don’t come on until the car is almost at a complete stop.

        God damn it, it’s 2023 and basic functions of cars don’t work because of SOFTWARE bugs. I wanna cry.

          Couldn’t charge our Ioniq 5 at home for a little over a month until they updated the software. And now it charges just slower, sucks. But my wife doesn’t drive that far so it’s working for us.

          Try and find me a car that has never had any hardware bugs.

          Actually, don’t, because you fucking can’t because such a thing doesn’t exist.

            …when did I say anything about hardware bugs??? A car having wiring problems is tangible, and easily solved by myself or my mechanic.

            But break lights (something that is literally needs to respond to physical pressure and requires no software to operate) not working because of lines of code, and can only be solved by whether or not a car manufacturer can be assed to fix it, is kind of wack.

              Actually the brake lights work exactly as you describe.

              The problem is that the car is able to slow down quickly without applying the brakes (common with EVs) and doesn’t engage the brake light when driving with that behavior (one pedal mode)

              It isn’t actually required to engage the brake light, because the regulation states that the light needs to be illuminated when applying the physical brakes, not when slowing down.

              This isn’t a software bug, it’s a design oversight, which can be fixed by changing the design, something that used to require a recall and physical change to the car.

              By yourself… or a mechanic. You know, a trained and qualified professional that has access to the tools and materials necessary to fix a problem.

              Kind of like how a programmer is a trained and qualified professional that has the tools and materials necessary to fix a problem, except that they’re directly employed by the maker of the product rather than a reseller of the product.

              Not that any of that fucking matters, because the point is that BUGS ARE IN EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, AT ALL TIMES and it’s just ignorant-ass to pretend like somehow cars aren’t the same way and, more importantly, haven’t ALWAYS been this way.

                Bro you really think someone is a professional mechanic because they can fix their own car wiring or change their oil? Should I open a car repair shop because I replaced the stereo in my car by myself?

                This is you rn.

                  You’re what’s meant by the term “functionally illiterate.” You know the words, you can read them, but you’re too much of an emu-pounder to understand them.

                  Let me teach you something.

            E-gmp is the shared EV platform for Kia and Hyundai. Various electric cars such as the Ioniq 5 & Kia ev6 are built on the ‘e-gmp’ platform which means that they share the wheelbase, chassis, battery, motor, etc etc.

            Either that or the car comes wrapped in leather with a fucking ballgag idk. Could have picked a better name imo

      That’s not true at all. It was one of the first things we tested out when we got ours in January. You have to let off at a specific rate, essentially it was trying to replicate engine braking since that also does not result in your brake lights come on. A later software update has also made it come on earlier if you’re braking lighter.
