My teenage niece calls the Polestar 2 'the serious one' and the Ioniq 5 'the cool one.' Teenagers choosing EVs based on aesthetics is now a real cohort and the Ioniq 5 design language is winning that comparison in every group I've seen. Your daughter's reaction is statistically representative.
My Polestar 2 went through a set of Pirelli P-Zeros at 28k miles. Switched to Michelin e.Primacy specifically for EVs and I'm at 18k miles with tread remaining. The difference is real. Budget the tire line item from day one.
