The long version

EVs depreciate hard as a category, and this one is no exception, down roughly a quarter from its first model year already, but here that curve reads as a feature rather than a warning sign, because a car this engineered for involvement was never bought as a store of value. Owners use the drift mode because Hyundai built it to be used, not screenshotted, and falling prices are pulling in buyers who want a track-day EV without new-car money. Daily Driven and Bargain Window together describe a car doing exactly what an enthusiast EV should: getting driven, then getting cheaper, then getting driven by someone else.
