Hi folks,
Quick and simple thread, in the hopes of picking the brain of a Telo rep - will there be the option of ventilated seats?
More and more vehicles are offering the option on top of heated seats, and in hot states it’s pretty much a necessity if you want to avoid a sweaty shirt (or backside, lol.)
I love having ventilated seats in my Niro EV, and hope there’ll be the same offering from Telo.
Up front note: Lots of commentators have already spoken about the unattainable price ($120k for the poverty-spec Pebble + $41k for a base-spec Telo) but *that’s not my concern for the thread*. If you want to harp on prices, please post another discussion thread.
The general rule of thumb for a towable trailer is 80% of the max towing capacity for the pulling vehicle, to account for safe highway driving/braking performance, and in this case the math seems iffy to me:
Telo: 6,600 lb towing capacity
Pebble Flow: 5,800 lb dry weight
That comes out to just shy of 88%. Knowing the Pebble has active tow assist with the powered axle probably helps shift the math slightly, but is that much dry weight too risky for realistic towing excursions that are further than the local lake?
I’m not an RV expert, so I’d love to hear from some Redditors who could weigh in if this is realistic or not.
(My two cents: I’d love to see Pebble come out with a “mini-Flow” design, keep the powered axle and LFP but a 25-30% smaller footprint to reduce both weight and price. ~4,000 lb dry weight? Now we’re talking.)
Hi folks - fairly new 2024 Kia Niro Wave EV owner here. My car has been 99.999% problem free in the seven months I’ve owned it, but I have a couple of minor things I need to get looked at under warranty (passenger door has a rattle at highway speed, I figure it’s a loose connection of the interior paneling to the door assembly; and the AC on high whines when set to driver side only, which I figure is a baffle issue)
- for owners in the Charlotte area, is there a particular Kia dealership you recommend for warranty service claims? I’ve seen the nightmare posts of other Kia owners in the past, but I figure customer experience from Redditors will point me in the right direction.
I bought my Niro from Shelby Kia about 30 miles west of Charlotte so I don’t want to make the long trek out there with traffic, plus their customer service has been crap so I don’t want to give them my business.
Thanks for any suggestions!
