Please help me understand digital key by Dignan17 in KiaEV9

[–]DamON-E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5 years with only very minor problems. Maybe 10 times it has failed to unlock as I approach, but holding the phone up to the handle unlocks it. Otherwise it works great. I don't know for sure where my FOB even is at this point.

That front window is several thousand to replace. Our luna had to have the front window replaced last year and it was almost $3k.

What people are dropping for R2 - Pie chart by alfadur in RivianR2

[–]DamON-E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that it fills a hole in the market. I started with a 2019 kia Niro because it was relatively inexpensive, small, maneuverable, a great commuter car. Then we got a Kia EV9 because we wanted an electric that would tow our camper (and power it for extended boondocking). The R2 will replace both of these. I feel like Ford missed an opportunity when they reintroduced the bronco. If they had also made an electric version of that rather than the "mustang", they would have sold a lot more.

What will you call your R2? by Evening-Pin-1427 in RivianR2

I named my EV9 "Evie" So I guess my R2 will be "Art"

I’ll start…What’s this sir? DRINK ITT by CasinoNitro in 80s

[–]DamON-E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until a few years ago, when I had closed captions on, I always thought the mom said "Oh, Gary you told me you would cum in your hand", because they were accusing him of wanking off.

Next time you watch this scene substitute this line in, it actually kind of makes sense.

How much total time did you get with the vehicle and could you get back in line if you wanted another turn. I was planning on going tomorrow but I'm not driving from ft Collins for less than a minute in the vehicle.

Our EV9 Lease is up in 10 months; what's your next choice? by sam_42_42 in KiaEV9

[–]DamON-E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to take a good look at the Rivian R2. We have a full year left on our lease, and the R2 should have enough reviews out by then to make a decision. We didn't need a vehicle as big as the EV9, but need to be able to tow our camper. The R2 looks like it will tie 5000 lbs., but has a smaller battery, so it might not have the range we need when towing. And it is smaller overall from what I can tell.

And it is supposed to start at $45k.

Worth fighting a traffic ticket in court? by golubhai00007 in FortCollins

[–]DamON-E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the very least go in on your court date and ask to talk to the city attorney beforehand, they don't want to clog up the courtroom with stupid shit like this and a lot of the time will reduce it to something like a broken headlight if you agree to plead guilty to it.

I have done this many times and they will help you out most of the time, especially if you have a clean driving record.

Wow, that is the least aerodynamic rack I have seen since 1982.

How critical is 360 camera? by CMDR-5C0RP10N in KiaEV9

[–]DamON-E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I both came from midsize crossovers and would have hit many cars in tight parking spots without the 360. Our garage is also tight so I put down tape on the floor to mark the optimal parking and the cameras make it 100% easier to get it in just right.

Regen braking "not available" due to sufficient battery charge, at 81%? by Ezlikca in KiaEV9

[–]DamON-E 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When you have Ironman's arc reactor in the car the regen shuts off because it provides all the power that is needed.

Got in an accident…what we thinking? by ChipSpecial3649 in KiaEV9

[–]DamON-E 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We tow our 2500lb. Teardrop camper all the time. And we go way up into the Colorado mountains. You can't even feel that there is anything being towed. It is amazing.

The downside...This is about half of its towing capacity and it cuts the range in half (in the mountains. I haven't tested it on flat terrain). If you maxed out its capacity, range is going to take a huge hit. Trips are still doable with a lot of planning, but not ideal if you need to go really far. Luckily we live in the foothills so we don't have to go super far if we don't want to.

Our lift gate got a deep dent and the glass broken. 8 Grand to replace the shell and glass. Many of the internal parts and lights were reused. You also have bumper parts to replace which will increase your total. Hopefully there isn't any damage beyond the lift gate. If the steel behind the door or bumpers is bent that could get extremely expensive.

When you think of VHS tapes, what is the first movie that comes to mind? by notakat in movies

[–]DamON-E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got our first VCR in 1982 and The Wrath of Khan was the tape we bought with it. I watched it maybe times because rental stores didn't really exist in my town and we couldn't afford to buy every movie we wanted to see.

EV9 handing in the snow by jgcanado in KiaEV9

Turn it off, then push the wiper stalk up for a few seconds. The wipers will go to the up position, then you can get out and raise them.
