+1 on the Kona Electric.

I have the MY2023 and it works perfectly as a dumb car but there are some creature comforts hidden behind a subscription. The BlueLink App which is around $7/month allows you to remotely see and control things from your phone such as:

  • Locking/unlocking the car from your phone no matter the distance
  • Getting notifications if you forgot to lock your car
  • Remote start the climate control
  • Diagnostics with codes so you don't need an OBDII reader

Again, it's a perfectly good dumb EV without those but they are trying the subscription model for luxury features. Hyundai, at least, gave me a 3 year free trail.

I could've sworn the CEO said something along the lines of "didn't want to be bothered during the ride" so he removed all audio communications from the surface. This is the main reason why the Polar Prince didn't report it missing right away. Something seems fishy about this leak.
