Fitment nuance per vehicle
Hyundai IONIQ 5
The IONIQ 5's boxy retro profile hides a very raked windscreen with a shallow upper edge; most compact dash cams tuck behind the mirror cleanly but larger units with integrated screens creep into the driver's sight line. The rear bench slides 135 mm fore-aft on non-N trims, so cargo dividers pinned against the fixed sliding-bench range change effective boot depth by ~100 mm. The IONIQ 5 N fits integrated-headrest bucket seats that block strap-mount organisers. RWD frunk is a genuinely useful 57 L (small holdall size); AWD drops it to 24 L due to the front motor. V2L outlet on the underside of the rear bench powers accessories directly. Hyundai's CANbus is only mildly sensitive.
Tesla Model 3
The Model 3 is a saloon, not a hatch - the rear opening is small and the boot cannot swallow tall items even with the seats down, so a roof box or towbar-mounted carrier is often the right accessory rather than a boot organiser. The 2024 Highland refresh removed the indicator and gear stalks - all steering, wiper and gear controls sit on the wheel or the touchscreen, and universal steering-wheel accessories can obscure the capacitive indicator buttons.
