Anyone Netflix & charge, or YouTube & Fill? 2024 Kona EV Limited

I originally bought a device for my EV6 but couldn't get it to work, so I'm using it in the Kona for a little impromptu charging. While the video quality isn't awesome, nice to fill in some idle time.

The GT's range deficiencies are overhyped.

I took a little roadtrip to the site of the FIFA games in Arlington Texas, and drove to some other scenic areas. About 60 or so miles later, I was still close to 80%. I drove in GT mode for at least 40% of the drive and performed a few jackrabbit starts. ICCU issues aside (haven't seen anything yet) the vehicle runs like a champ.

Drove to the nearest amusement park (wondered if my ride was more exhilarating).

Six Flags via Service road, 360 view X5

Then went to the nearest lake (missed sunset by just a few minutes but still managed to capture the last seconds of light over the lake). Joe Pool Lake just after sunset (the right side of the night pushing away what's left of the day) - YouTube

I even managed a couple of quick acceleration runs. Little acceleration test EV6 GT.

Oh and as per my other video, these are best viewed on the Youtube mobile app (360 via moving your phone around).

Hyundai to recall over 96,000 US vehicles over faulty instrument panel display, NHTSA says

I've had my IC go out on me more than a few times while driving my Kona. I'm hoping that it's part of the recall. It's kind of unnerving when it happens, especially when on the highway traveling at a high rate of speed.

You guys sorta didn't talk me off the ledge....

I sorta did a thing. Found a great deal on an EV6 GT and all it took was 1 test drive to pull me in. The good news is that I haven't given up on my Kona EV Limited. The current plan is to use one vehicle for driving into work, and the other one on occasion. The beauty of it is that while I'm in one car, the other car can sit and charge. The GT charges so quick at a supercharger though, that it feels a shame to charge it at home. Oh and the video above looks great on YouTube Mobile (feel free to move around your phone, just don't fall).

I get it now, having just picked up my EV6 and its faster charging capabilities....

I understand the angst and frustration. Went to one of the charging sites near me just to see if my new EV6 could charge at the 240 kW advertised speeds claimed. The charging site I went to has ONE 350 kW capable charger and 2 100 kW stations. When I get there, I see one vehicle (a Kia Niro) sitting at the 350 station. Curious, I checked online and the fastest that the car can charge is 85 kW. Thus, I had to settle for charging at one of the slower charging stations and couldn't test the claimed 18 minutes to 80% charge.

As someone that used to own a slower charging EV, I used to just grab whatever station was available, but now I get it. I wish these charging apps would find a way to match your vehicle's limitations with whatever station would best suit it, maybe even offer a few dollars off for charging at one of these stations. If the vehicle can benefit from the faster speeds, then sure that's fine, but why park at a faster charging station if you're not even using 1/2 the capabilities of the charger? Oh well, now I get it. /soapbox

Insta360 "Me" mode on "Me car". (messed around with some settings)

Bought an Insta360 and shot some great 360 videos, but sadly YouTube don't like how much data it contained and since my computer is a dinosaur, I couldn't edit, thus I switched to "me" mode which gave me some decent video. Performed a spirited takeoff from the light and another EV started pacing me. I suspect they wanted to see if their Equinox EV was up to task. I left him in my wake. This thing is highly addictive, but fortunately the battery puts you in check.

Talk me off the ledge, 2024 Kona EV Limited for something else?

As the title says, I'm really considering getting rid of my Kona EV Limited. There's nothing really wrong with the vehicle, it's about as worry free as one might expect an electric vehicle to be that's only used for work and as a grocery getter. The thing is that I kind of like the idea of something with a little more pep. Currently considering a Blazer EV SS, a Cadillac Lyriq-V, an Ioniq 5 Limited, or an Ioniq 5 N. The biggest drawback of the N would be a loss of about 50 miles in range per charge, but the upside is a car that can humble most ICE vehicles on the road.

The Kona, however, it's just such a money saver when it comes down to it. The drawback is that I bought the car in 2024 when interest rates weren't the best, and the best rate I could get was 6%. With the Ioniq 5 Limited, I could literally trade in my Kona and pay practically the same per month with the great finance rate that's available. That itself is probably the biggest reason I'm considering going to the Ioniq 5 Limited. I also can refinance the car, but I figure if I'm going that route, I might as well just buy something nicer. What say ye?

Judge reopens Trump’s IRS suit to examine $1.8bn settlement with justice department | Donald Trump

I have a question about this BS lawsuit. If Trump is going after the IRS leak that happened while he was President, and the SC has ruled that he has immunity, can't the case get thrown out as Trump the "citizen" can't sue Trump the "President" as "Trump the President" has immunity, yes?

What's your sweet spot for tire pressure? 2024+ but all versions can report

What's your preferred tire pressure and what kind of range are you seeing based on the type of driving, driving mode, and climate you drive?

My 2024 Limited, I get around 270 (on trip computer) with about 38 PSI, always in sport mode and mostly 0 regen. I do about 70% highway driving and am kind of bad about jackrabbit starts. I keep telling myself that I'll air things up closer to 40 PSI (the 38nis after the tires are warm, not cold) but I've found that even at 38, the car can get a little "air" when driving the speed limit in my area (the heat had made some stretches of highway wavy and full of dips). The temps with the above figures are generally in the low to mid 90s. I run the AC and ventilated seats constantly.

Curious to hear anyone running over 40 PSI, does the ride not feel too easily high sprung? Is the eMPG much better at a higher PSI?

Anyone looking for a free sample of Hermes? Contact Hermès customer service

You'll have to give them your information (don't forget mailing address), which seems like a fair deal considering most places want to sell you samples. Select "Catalogs and Samples" and in the message box just fill out that you'd like some samples and include mailing information.

Here's their line of men's fragrances. The Men's Universe I'm actually tempted to buy something just to reward them for offering up free samples.

I was really looking forward to the Fresh Additions Chicken, I had their "Steak" and it wasn't too bad, although it essentially tasted like some of the "steak" you'd find at Taco Bell when ordering steak instead of "beef". I've added it to soups, nachos, and just the occasional snack, although I don't really like the taste of them by themselves as they taste as if they are sweetened a little, and opening the package can sometimes give off a bit of a nauseating smell, like a bitter sweet smell a garbage can has that's been left out in the heat.

The Bloom Energy Drink, it was on sale so I grabbed a couple of cases (Costco loves the low price for a week and then it's an extra $6.00 when you've determined that you like it enough at the sale price and try to find it again). I haven't tried it yet, and as it was sitting next to the new Costco branded energy drinks (good pickup if you like Celsius but with a much lighter, more tolerable taste).

The Bhuja mix was an impulse buy. I have recently started buying the Pub Mix much to my diet's dismay, and figured I'd give this a try. While it's not something I'd consider regularly, I suppose it's a decent palate cleanser when you want to mix things up (snack mix joke notwithstanding). A bulk of its composition is some sort of weird string potato stuff, like the old Pik-Nik shoestring potato snack. It also has a little bit of a cayenne pepper kick. It does also have an interesting texture as there are what appear to be some dehydrated peas in it.

The Shale Snacks were probably the better find out of the lot. The Banana Rum scratches that sugar tooth need without it making you feel guilty. The Pomegranate also satisfied any cravings that one might get later in the evening. I went ahead and bought 2 boxes of each, knowing that I'll enjoy them, go back next month only to see them at $20+ a box.

I believe that everything was currently discounted, with exception of the Chicken. All these were found at my Costco Business Center, btw. If you have one within an hour's drive, I definitely recommend it as you'll find some hidden gems that you may not find at the typical Costco.

Went in originally with the idea of buying Fantasmagory but got a smell of Ocean Chill and the salesperson told me that she didn't think it was as popular a seller, which helped sell me. The ones below are samples that I told her to hook me up with if I bought the 2nd bottle.

Samples: Stellar Times, L'Immensite, California Dream, City of Stars, Orage, Attrape-Reves (told her I wanted to gift a sampler to a female), Imagination, Lovers.

Kind of pricey, but I can't take the money with me.

u/Not_Sure__Camacho — 6 months ago

Found it at Costco. They have a coupon that brings it down to the price in the title. I figured with as infrequently as Costco puts them on sale, I'd go ahead and get 2.
