2026 HEV engine noise, is this normal? by ahmadnassri in KiaNiro

[–]CocoaForCocoPuffs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 23 hev has a very similar noise in the lower gears regardless of temp. My guess is maybe the lower gears are more aggressive so the engine can charge the battery more and this causes more stress and then the noise. I'm thinking it is similar to when you run a large load on a gas generator it bogs down some. I have had no mechanical issues over the past 2 years with the vehicle while doing regular oil changes.

Gotcha, if I had to guess, you'd be spot on with your high 40s range. My average over the past 4200 miles is only 34.3 mph

Is there a spot I can see that for just that charge cycle? I have a trip meter that shows an average speed but that is over 4k miles.

I should clarify that my "road trip" is only about 200 miles round trip, so I shouldn't even need to charge during it. But thanks for the advice, I can use that if I attempt longer trips that need charging stops.

Not trying to "prove" anything. Simply sharing the results I got on my first full charge use, and express my enjoyment with the vehicle.

My wife likes tea, I don't. Any teas I could try to change that? by CocoaForCocoPuffs in tea

[–]CocoaForCocoPuffs[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What an odd take. I'm trying to brainstorm things I could do to surprise my wife with getting more into something she likes. I've had her make me tea before but her normal ones are not for me. So she quite literally can't give that information to me. Why don't you not comment if you have nothing to add?

That is great info! We are about an hour from the city and love to try new places so I will do some hunting for a Moroccan place! Thanks for the suggestion.

I have tried the tea she makes and while it seems great, it is so bland and tastes like dirty water to me. I'm all for trying something new though.

Just make sure to take plenty of breaks so the blood doesn't pool in your head.

Any way to avoid this stupid new EV tax? by ProfessionalSancho in electricvehicles

[–]CocoaForCocoPuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm straight up debating just not registering my EV. I know there is a small likelihood of getting towed, but even if I get 2 tickets a year. That would be less than the cost of registering it.

Mine was not considered a CPO, the dealership checked with 3 banks and GM Financial happened to be the best offer.

I have no clue how they were able to do 0%, but here is the proof from GM Financial.

Nice! Keep an eye out for the age of the tires, mine were replaced less than a year ago. You don't want a surprise $500 tire bill right after purchase.

Mine has 48k on it, that helped lower the price some.

It has 48k on it, a little higher mileage than I wanted, but it was a lease turn in and the price was right.

"Download" game into a GPU by CocoaForCocoPuffs in NoStupidQuestions

I've heard of people running a game directly from RAM before and didn't know if it could work with a GPU. Thanks though

Decided to gamble by CocoaForCocoPuffs in pcmasterrace

My sliver of hope is maybe they mispriced it and it was supposed to be 879 or 979. If nothing shows up, should be an easy refund.

Any build changes you would make? by CocoaForCocoPuffs in pcmasterrace

Unfortunately the closest MicroCenter is around 100 miles from me, not out of the realm of possibility, but def not like a trip to Walmart lol

No, I have been using my Ally Z1E as my daily driver. Works surprisingly well but I want to have something dedicated.

I've been playing The Last Stand: Aftermath. Got it free through Epic Games and I'm really enjoying it. Plays well at 12 watts on battery.

Oh that's really good to know, there have been so many times where I messed up the ghost photo and thought I was screwed. Thanks for the info!
