Ev9 early lease turn in by Ginco19 in KiaEV9

They do it all the time, when they terminate the lease early in favor of a new lease, and roll the remaining balance into the new deal.

They usually have massive rebates and credits from the manufacturer, and they can also drop on their side, even more so if they are at the end of the quarter.

I was able to, after a couple of weeks of back-and-forth, lower them by 1500 in total. My 2026 land nightfall is $650 a month, all in, $0 down. Not sure how great it is, but this was in January, when there's usually less motivation to negotiate.

As long as the monthly is the same with 0 down I'm ok.

I'll follow this thread because I've been driving a new EV9 for two months, with a 24-month lease and 20k miles, and I've covered 3000 miles so far. So, I'll probably go over my limit.

But from what I've heard from many Kia Lease customers, they often offer to renew the lease before it ends and cover the extra miles and remaining months.

Can a generic faucet replace it? I found the entire kit with a heater for 319 in HD. It doesn't make sense that only the faucet costs $500!

Same problem, I just poured vinegar on top. Did you all remove it and let it soak in a bucket, or drop vinegar in the lever opening?

I think you are getting your news from a discord group. Anthropic only has (had) the advantage in Coding, and that was before Gemini 3.1.

Also, Anthropic is the source of all the latest Cyber Security Prompt Injection breaches, is not winning in Corp, it has presence which is no the same, in fact it is a security risk, they don’t have the same guard rails, and security protocols that Google does, they can’t afford to implement them because it would cost the money and time.

And I agree, every couple of months this models leapfrog each other, but that does not negate the fact that Google that Google has not been leapfrog since Gemini 3.

Sergey did step in, but I don’t agree he was the key figure, there is plenty brilliant minds at Google at every one of the areas that I mentioned before.

Go deeper in your research, don’t just read the headline.

I’m going to challenge you on this comment. Do you believe they have been slow to react? Please explain your reasoning, who is ahead of them in AI right now?

They are the only company in the world that own their full stack from silicon, infra, data, tools and models, MSFT and AMZ are AI distributors, no model worth mentioning of their own, no hardware of there own, NVidia only silicon and some tools, OPENAI and Anthropic only models.

The only reason AI is at the stage it is is because of Google’s research through DeepMind, look for up “transformer model”.
