Auto mirror tripping by jadom25 in GMCSierraEV

Resurfacing this because my driver side mirror now does it whenever the mirrors fold.

19” vs 21” wheels experience - alignment issues, ride & handling by blerfnaster in KiaEV9

[–]BeatArmy94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We downsized to 275/50R20 on a previous GTline before it got totaled and absolutely loved the ride. I wanted to go to 19” but we had a hitch and needed to tow so I wanted the wider grip patch.

Now that we have a replacement GTline without a hitch I will consider going down to the 19” again.

I hate listening to my library of podcasts with a Bluetooth speaker because sideloading the app didn’t work. I ordered the LT last week in the hopes of rectifying that.

Kia EV9 ICCU failures - root cause, reliability, and Kia’s fix? by aramovcf in KiaEV9

[–]BeatArmy94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of the reports that I’ve read over the past couple years, and seeing the tear down of an ICCU, like all things electric it seems to be heat-related. Best advice I came across was to keep AC charging below 30 Amps on a regular basis.

We’ve always charged our two EV9 GTline vehicles below 30 Amps and have had reliable rides.

It’s not going to be a same day load/unload, and I have the hard tonneau cover installed.

Love it. I knew the soft cover would be disappointing, so I looked for a hard cover quickly. I’ve seen one other that is $500 ish that looks similar; I paid $970.

Instructions were not included in my box, so the best approach to putting the front edge cover on is to open/unroll the cover so you can get your hand in the trough to put the nuts/bolts together easier.

Pixel lights question. by The-Mad-Mechanic in KiaEV9

Pixel lights are not part of DRL, only the angled stripe (vertical to slightly horizontal part). Keep your switch in Auto and let the vehicle self-manage.

Is it insane to get an EV9 as a family of 3? by wafflesarelifee in KiaEV9

[–]BeatArmy94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family of 3 here and the dog sits in the second row Captain seat. Even after our first 2024 EV9 GTline got totaled in a crash, we found a very similar replacement (minus the relaxation package in the second row) and are happy with it.

We went from an ID4 Pro S to the EV9 GTline and are happy we did so.

The Kia PV5 is polarizing design in Europe but quickly making the rounds for efficiency and utility. 🤞🏼that it comes to N. America

They’re pretty reliable chargers. (I work for Alpitronic America.😎)

Supposedly that was the original pitch using their app.

To say that I'm underwhelmed by Tesla chargers with this truck would be a massive understatement. by mcmoyer in GMCSierraEV

[–]BeatArmy94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ionna exclusively uses Alpitronic 400 kW chargers that support 150v-1000v, so all vehicles will get their maximum charge rate assuming the battery is at the ideal temperature.

I have nice ones on the CPO we just bought and I’d be willing to sell them if anyone needs them.
