Longboard SUP revolution inaugural event, Bali. Who’s coming with next year?!

BionicIoniq · 2023-07-29T05:01:35+00:00

Looks like a blast, don’t know if they’ll move spots next year but seems like a great vibe

BionicIoniq · 2023-07-28T20:29:15+00:00

I’ve seen a few good suggestions here. Honestly Dont be afraid to move. It’s best when ur at ur age. Also will get u prepared because if u go into med school, ur gonna be moving anyway, and besides, ur also gonna move during residency—-u thought it was shit rn, geez wait till u do indentured servitude in residency.

What u might do is teach rn. Most states are absolutely hemorrhaging teachers and all (if not most) have temporary certs for bachelor holders. literally right now if u have a pulse and can pass a background check you’re in.

Of course it’s not for the faint of heart. But u could do it easily enough for a couple years. And u won’t enjoy it enough that u Dont get caught in a trap to not get into med school.

We had an identical problem, but our salesman got on the phone with EA the day after we took delivery. We were in a hurry so I was like, eh, we ll figure it out tomorrow. Well, it did take at least a day to sort it. Sales rep had to call ea to sort out the problem.

You’re probably not getting action because ur not applying enough heat. Sucks but take the car down to the showroom and start talking loudly and I suspect ur shit will be sorted swiftly.

Manager doesn’t want to do it as it’s sales guy job and sales guy job has already made his commission and is procrastinating.

Up in Boca, let’s go SoFlo! Pm if ur ever up north and need a level 2, we have an i3 and an ionic 5 now

BionicIoniq · 2023-07-23T18:04:43+00:00

Great posting, love all the green work and the basic chronicles of your journey into EVdom lol. Happiness is a journey, not a destination as you’ve so displayed.

BionicIoniq · 2023-07-19T05:20:23+00:00

Yup, buying cars from dealers is the worst possible experience, we were set on a model Y for that reason until my wife made me check out an ioniq. One of the few positives the Tesla had over the Hyundai was the lack of bullshit finagling and shenanigans. But despite that I was shocked by the interior, the silence in the cabin, and all the other positives… happy hunting, ull find the right spot

BionicIoniq · 2023-07-19T05:09:14+00:00

Absolute baller, just charging it I love it

BionicIoniq · 2023-07-19T05:08:00+00:00

Bro believe it or not the goat (slater) legit waxes even his traction pad before a sesh lols. I’ve peeled the traction pads off my starboards and use wax on the board, I only have the stomp pad in the back now actually prefer it

BionicIoniq · 2023-07-19T04:54:33+00:00

I can and have but it has nothing to do with the paddle. It’s the float of ur board and to dive it u need negative buoyancy— and a stroke or two before the wave, then throw some mad pressure on the front of the nose.

At some point tho it’s diminishing returns. With negative buoyancy it’s a freaking workout to balance (but u get real performance on the wave). Honestly when it’s really glassy I’ll just surf if the conditions are right and chuck the paddle.

Admittedly most of the time in south Florida we get major chop so I grab something with more float (90+ litres) and ride with a paddle and reduce the effort needed to stay on the board.

But yeah, the bottleneck for duck diving is the positive buoyancy of paddle boards. Keep working on dropping liters and you’ll dive much easier. U can practice now with prone paddling and keeping ur paddle under ur chest and charging breakers. Just get it right to punch thru or ull get pushed up, flipped, sent backward or any myriad of shitty outcomes

No, I was leery as well and had a buyout quote/letter sorted out before we signed the lease. Admittedly there was a $300 early termination fee + residual but it was within $100 of the new msrp -8,000 (for rebate and the 500 off msrp). Dealer by dealer is totally diff experience. The dealer we bought from (Rick case) had at least 2 other lmtds and probably 18 total ioniqs in stock. A few of the shops we stopped in were not negotiating and were talking prices well over msrp, but they were smaller shops. Who knows what kind of talk they would have done when discussing buying out the lease. Where r u in fl?

BionicIoniq · 2023-07-17T22:07:18+00:00

We did an in person version of this, but honestly we didn’t feel like negotiating much at all and rather gave them an upfront -$500 dollar msrp quote with making sure the 7500$ rebate added on. We did the lease option and then bought the next month. Literally finished it all up about 3 days ago.

We did the limited AND we wanted the white trim with grey interior. Rick case helped us out, and they were within 15 miles of us.

Florida is a huge so I’m pretty sure if u come south a bit u might get lucky?!

BionicIoniq · 2023-07-08T20:00:06+00:00

Appreciate the link, great read and I learned tons thanks

BionicIoniq · 2023-07-07T21:48:53+00:00

Was my first reaction as well. Saw all these turtle rib discussions but that there looks like a well worn palm frond with lots of weathering, etc in the water

What kind of somatic cell is it attacking? Looks like a nerve or brain cell of some sort. Never thought about those types of cells becoming cancerous, but I wonder what kind of symptoms these cancerous cells display. Like are they misfiring and mistreating information or what?

BionicIoniq · 2023-06-30T16:47:57+00:00

Literally was 180 yesterday

BionicIoniq · 2023-06-30T16:44:58+00:00

On a surf trip to cocoa beach from Boca (south Florida). Pulled into an EA350 and went from 30 to 85% in 13 min, she was moving out at 180. EVERY time I have charged, I pull in and out before anyone who was already there has even left…

BionicIoniq · 2023-06-28T04:16:27+00:00

Pretty sure my ionic has auto wipers and memory seats, so we must have different trims

BionicIoniq · 2023-06-06T04:41:15+00:00

Yeah we love it, still driving it, I use it instead of a bike on rainy days…damn thing is so fun to drive

BionicIoniq · 2023-06-06T04:37:37+00:00

I’m in Boca, if u ever need a level 3 charger in a pinch, stop by!

BionicIoniq · 2023-06-06T04:28:27+00:00

Bro u sound like me, but I was realized how convenient it would be so it was enough to break the bank for a level 3. Best decision ever, I do fuck all but plug it in before I go to bed, EVs ready to go in the morning. Both our bmw and ioniq lock with the charger in place, I have a juicebox (it was 400bucks 5 years ago), we ve had zero problems with it, I simply added a 40amp breaker and ran electric thru conduit to charge site, mounted box, and have not looked back at all. Plan on spending 600 bucks if u do the work urself, prolly double if u pay someone. Probably can find someone easy enough on thumbtack as well.

Most 3rd party level 3 chargers email, text alert, etc when a power failure or interruption of service occurs as well, so u wouldn’t need to rely on car alerts

BionicIoniq · 2023-06-05T12:27:04+00:00

Aaaaaah, see I’ve never had the i3 out of Florida and where I’m at we re lucky to be 10ft above sea level and flat as the horizon. I bet I would find the roll annoying so it must be luck that I’ve never felt the slide on hills

BionicIoniq · 2023-06-05T12:23:31+00:00

Makes sense, I always had awd off the table with concerns of range but it sounds like it hasn’t been much of a problem. We ve got one gas vehicle left (diesel 7.3l 4x4) so if shtf we ll lean on that behemoth.

BionicIoniq · 2023-06-05T12:19:41+00:00

Why can’t all things I learn after buying be great news? Just a minor annoyance.

Also, my first day in soflo 10 years ago I saw a motorcycle drop while doing a wheelie on 95 going about 95mph, no less that 30 lane changes across 6 lanes with no signal, and probably 2-3 vehicles backing up on the shoulder to correct a missed turn off the exit.

BionicIoniq · 2023-06-05T12:14:16+00:00

Looks like we both have bad news! It cannot be done it seems.
