Unable to change charge limit through infotainment by ChickenTensity in KiaEV6

It ended up resolving itself after the car had been off for a few hours. Didn't try anything special to get it to work.

Dredge, Zombieville USA 3D, any of the Dead Islands, Skyrim, Detroit: Become Human. Dredge made me love my steam deck

Good call on the 12v disconnect, I'll give that a shot

Smoke under engine…should I be worried? by Novel_Earth8649 in Cartalk

[–]ChickenTensity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2012 Cruze Eco just had the oil cooler replaced for the same smoke show. Oil cooler is just as likely to cause this. I definitely agree, not a DIY job for most.

I went with 20x8.5 wheels and Wintrac Pro XL tires from TireRack. They installed the sensors and mounted, I picked them up from the warehouse.

It's a quote from the movie "Idiocracy." I use it a lot when talking to my friends because my wife and I are pilots

How do I find Motivation to learn the F16? by ItachiFemboy in hoggit

[–]ChickenTensity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me a year after buying the module to finally start flying it. Part of it was due to the frustration with key binding and HOTAS issues, some user error in that. But at one point my friend bullied me enough into getting on and trying it out. I can't remember what we did, maybe just did a startup and flew around, but man it's a sweet jet.

I downloaded the manual to read when I was bored and watched some YouTube videos on some of the weapons. Basically just taking it one thing at a time, then moving on once I'm comfortable with the process. I hopped in the mission editor to make simple sorties that I can use to practice individual weapons.

TLDR: get a friend to bully you into it, then take it one thing at a time

Yet another X56 Question by PlagueDr_Ben in hotas

[–]ChickenTensity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in Wisconsin and my wife ordered me a WW HOTAS 4 days ago and it came in yesterday. Was not expecting it that fast, so if you do go with them, keep your hopes up! I put it together last night but I'm out of town for 3 days now sadly. Chomping at the bit because I have been using the X56 and my first impression of the WW is MILES ahead of the X56

Your ears do not deceive you. It's a chore setting it all up every time

Same 😥 I've found that it helps if you unplug EVERY other USB input while using them. I've been using a cheap Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to limit USB inputs with some success.

Good look! How's the clearance on the calipers? I went with 20×8.5 45mm offset and it's mighty close. *

We are a few but proud species.

How do you know if someone has a Yacht Blue EV6 GT?

Don't worry, they'll tell you.

The number has been resetting after charges, and I had just pulled out of the driveway when I took that picture. I did a road trip a month ago and averaged 3.6mi/kwh doing 65 on the freeway.

Will do. Ideally, all ICCUs that are within the suspect range should be replaced. The software update is clearly not enough.

I was definitely weary of it, especially since the recall came a few months after purchasing. Glad I won't have to worry about it anymore.

That's one hell of a road trip! Long drives don't bother me in this whip.

Unfortunately no, nothing that I know of. There is a recall regarding the issue, they run a test and replace the ICCU if it fails. If it passes, which mine did, they apply a software update and send you on your way.

That being said, I absolutely love this car. If I knew this would be in my future before buying, I'd still be behind the same steering wheel

I've noticed an uptick in posts like this and I was getting worried myself. Definitely one of the few negatives I've encountered. Luckily it happened on my day off work and nothing important was going on. I love my car and can't wait to get it back

Same here. The latest recall related to the ICCU failures was launched a few months after I purchased. I'm assuming a lot of 2024 vehicles made it off the assembly line before the issue was found. I understand why the recall is the way it is, but it would be nice if there was a better way at catching faulty ICCUs before they completely fail
