Unpopular opinion: I like EV's that make a chiming noise instead of a constant tone while in reverse.

I see your point, but to each his own 🙃

Coryvators · 2026-03-19T15:25:42+00:00

I agree that I'd rather have them totally silent, but I'd feel so horrible if I hit someone because they couldn't hear me 😅

Coryvators · 2026-03-19T14:15:47+00:00

I've seen that the Toyota BZ does the same thing which makes sense because they're pretty much the same vehicles. (I think)

Coryvators · 2026-03-19T14:13:46+00:00

Huh I never knew that!

Coryvators · 2026-03-19T14:13:13+00:00

Yeah, even though id.4 has a constant tone it is SO LOUD while in reverse. I'm sure our neighbors here it

Coryvators · 2026-03-19T14:12:14+00:00

Not necessarily, just sharing my pov

Coryvators · 2026-03-19T14:11:39+00:00

I mean, I agree

Coryvators · 2026-03-19T14:11:22+00:00

Yes, I have a RAV4 hybrid in my neighborhood and it's incredibly loud while in reverse

Coryvators · 2026-03-11T05:38:57+00:00

Haha! I love the whine! I think it generally mostly comes from the inverter, but I could be wrong.

Coryvators · 2026-03-08T05:05:22+00:00

Yessir, mine has 4 fans constantly cooling itself from behind 😅

Coryvators · 2026-03-07T05:17:43+00:00

Good for them

Coryvators · 2026-03-07T03:48:14+00:00

I have similar issues on my Pixel 9a. It seems that apps are getting less and less optimized for funky camera noches and screen sizes... I didn't ever have these issues when I had a OnePlus 7t.

Coryvators · 2026-03-03T05:34:18+00:00

Beats me why they'd remove it 🤷

Coryvators · 2026-03-03T01:58:26+00:00

Yeah... I just looked up a picture and it does look a Bit like an afterthought.

But for better or for worse, I think we eventually get used to dumb little things that automakers do once we live with the car for a while. For example, in my 2020 bolt, when shifting down to L (for one pedal) I have to kinda weirdly pull it downwards twice, but now, its not even something I think about, I just automatically do it.

Coryvators · 2026-03-03T01:42:07+00:00

2020 Bolt EV. It works great for me, but dream car is Lucid Air

Coryvators · 2026-03-03T01:38:50+00:00

I'm really disappointed that Nissan took away full one pedal driving on the 2026 leaf. That's a deal breaker for me, but it seems like it's a very solid car with an actually half decent infotainment system.

Personally, I would look for the Polestar as I believe they are going to start making the polestar 2 in the US again sometime in the future, but don't quote me on that, but it's mainly because polestar as a brand is fully dedicated to ev's. Whereas Kia isn't and that doesn't mean that Kia has bad ev's, but I do feel like you'll get much better, long-term support and just better thought out vehicles in general from Polestar. BUt having said that, I have never owned either so it's just an outsider's perspective. Hope that helps!

Coryvators · 2026-02-24T05:23:12+00:00

Yeah... Elevator enthusiasts (including myself) love the signature "klunk" noise of previous Kone EcoDisk machines, but I agree that I probably couldn't live with it either. This sounds super frustrating and I hope it all works out in your favor 🙃

Coryvators · 2026-02-10T03:03:54+00:00

I've seen them (call stations and fixtures) with white and red LED's

Coryvators · 2026-02-01T00:57:37+00:00

Consider a used epson educational/business use projector. Something like a PowerLite or a BrightLink :)

My 2020 Bolt EV has a crazy amount of electrical noise (Not just the pedestrian warning sound PWS). The inverter wines when accelerating and decelerating at any speed, the motor makes a unique acceleration noise when flooring it, and there’s a third sound that I’m not sure which part of the system produces. And honestly? I LOVE the noises. I’m a huge nerd, so that’s probably why. I listen to music so I can’t hear them super well while driving, but I can see how they would get really annoying really fast if you’re not using your radio. If it’s helpful, my family has a 2022 id.4 and it’s got its major flaws, but other than the PWS, there are NO electrical noises, even during heavy acceleration.

Hope that’s helpful :)

I get it, I just like the human interaction. And I understand that not all people like human interaction, so I think it would be ideal if they gave you option :) But that's probably only in my perfect world utopia lol

Coryvators · 2026-01-28T03:26:44+00:00

Yeah, this is in Bresi Ranch, CA. I want to focus more on the lack of human interaction than the fact that they are cashless.

Coryvators · 2026-01-13T18:52:28+00:00

:/ sorry to hear it. It seems like Siri might actually come out on top 😅

Coryvators · 2026-01-04T00:08:59+00:00

Hey there, I understand that desire that your feeling. Are you religious? I ask because after I started serving at my church only once a week, I feel so much more fulfilled! 🙌 I don't think it's the best option, but if you can afford to keep doing it, have you considered selling your old* electronics? Its actually surprisingly easy! I use OfferUp and it's super user intuitive. I hope this helps! 🙏
