They start when they detect a change on the surface of the glass - if the glass is wet when you start the car, they won't start until it gets MORE wet. Flick them on once after starting, and they will take it from there.
Today was a great example. Pulled out of carport dry. Started to rain. Wipers never even started until I manually started them.......by the time I could barely see out. Then the auto kicked in and worked fine. You can’t tell me this is normal.
Seriously, I would have expected them to start as soon as the windshield went from dry to wet. Mine always has, so perhaps there is a problem with your sensor?
My biggest gripe so far is the drive mode defaulting to comfort. I typically always drive in smart unless I'm in the mood to pretend I'm some hotshot racer (yes I also make vrooming noises with my mouth) but every time I get into my car, it usually takes a min or two of driving for me to realise I forgot to switch to smart or sport. It can't be that hard to program the car to remember your last drive mode. Better yet, there should be a setting to set your preferred drive mode on start up.
The fuel tank size I think could have been bump up a tad more. Currently, my estimated range is just over 500km so if they could have bumped it up to 600km, I think that would have been the perfect volume for me.
My only other gripe is the fact that the button on the steering wheel that controls your channel is reversed on the home screen compared to the radio screen. On the radio screen, pushing up on the steering wheel button will go up the list of your preset stations and vice versa for down but when on the home screen, it's inverted so pushing up moves you down the preset station list rather than up.
-Put the remote start on the key fob, not just UVO
-Fuel tank a couple gallons too small
-Wish the exhaust was just a hair louder and a small burble between shifts
-Wireless charge dock too small
-Unlock warning every time I exit the car without locking it within a few seconds
-Remember last drive mode or setting to start up in a drive mode of your chosing
-not sure why mine doesn't have this (seen it in some reviews), but I cannot separately have active exhaust sounds in Custom menu selection. It is tied to the powertrain setting. Also wish engine and transmission where separate, because I would like more snappy throttle response without my transmission hanging in a lower gear (save that for sport mode setting)
On a scale of 1-10, these issues are fairly low on my annoyance, lets say a 4 or 5 at most.
It all depends on how many miles you do in those 3 days, and in what mode you drive it in. I manage to get around 470 km (about 300 miles) out of a tank in comfort mode these days (semi winter), mostly highway though. So I fill up about once a week. Hyundai engines (yes the Stinger has a Hyundai engine and transmission) are not known for getting great gas mileage.
My only real complaint so far, I really wish the UVO remote start would be way faster, and on the key fob as well, and wouldn't flash the hazards needlessly whilst running on remote start. I'm even thinking of having it bypassed and have another remote starter installed instead.
2 peeves -
At 6‘4“ I can hardly see out rear window.
I also want to wire in my own custom blinker indicators that are not obscured by the steering wheel.. I don’t get as upset at guy in front of me driving 2 miles with blinker on.
Love the car though for sure. Lately with 20° mornings, it’s actually generating detectable heat within the first minute. Turn on the seats and the steering wheel and I am in La La Land. Never had a car warm up so nicely, so quickly. Must be those turbo’s!

About the turn signals, you can have them work for only 3 or 5 times (programmable) only when changing lanes by just tapping the lever once. That way they won’t stay on all the time. And when you turn a corner the steering wheel should turn them off when returning to center.

It’s just during those times that I lock it on when I’m in the turn lane, then the actual turn radius is not sharp enough to release the turn stalk. Since I’m always playing my music, it’s only at the end of the song that I hear the blinker clicking.
