    We’ve taken our 23 YLR on long trips and it rides smoothly. The earlier Ys and those with different wheels types are different.

    I like the Ionic 5 a lot and think our test drives showed both cars to ride about the same. When we purchased our car the Ionic 5 was a lot more expensive and we had to wait for months longer than with the YLR. Our old Honda was not going to last that long.

    I know most people get really attached to a car or a brand. I’m not like that. The Ionic 5 is a great, fun car. The Y is as well.

    You misunderstood or l miscommunicated. I am the OP with the YLR, driving since February and no range anxiety any longer. Having access to Tesla charging and being able to charge at home has erased my concerns.

    Our driver, the guy with the EV6 for only a few months, talked about his range anxiety.

    The reasons we didn’t get the EV6 or Ionic 5 and went with our Y: tax credits and charging network. Buying last February was a different place than buying today.

    It was just an Uber trip that was mostly on Boston roads, with a short distance on interstate 93 for a few exits. I didn’t notice any wind noise in the EV6. This wasn’t a very long trip.

    My Model YLR was new February 23 and has 19" wheels with what I guess is the improved suspension. It has a very comfortable ride, and almost no wind noise at highway speeds.
