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.

Supposedly the latest software update fixes that but we haven't done the patch yet.

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.

It does, they also released the update for the other E-GMP platform cars.

I don't know what the second part means... Can you say more?

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.
