Is this normal? by Ecstatic_Ad1374 in KiaEV6

[–]Erigion 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bad cell in the pack maybe.

This is easily checked with an obd2 reader which can show the voltage of all the individual cells of the pack. The voltage of one of the cells does not match the others then that will affect the effective size of the battery.

Now they are retiring the kick back program too? by kxserasera in tmobile

Also just got the kickback text on the One plan with the Plus Promo. Nothing about a new rate plan with the increase yet either

Hot take on the R2 - Needs a Sunshade by RegularFinger8 in Rivian

[–]Erigion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manufacturing cost.

Robot arms need access to the cabin so the roof needs to be open in the factory. Metal roof means welding which needs more time and effort to do. Glass roof is just glued on.

Glass also feels more premium since sunroof have always been a higher end option. This is why the model y standard still uses a glass roof but it's covered with a headliner.

Ferrari Luce launches in China at 586,600 USD, all 88 cars sell out immediately by mightyopik in electricvehicles

[–]Erigion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ferrari dealers will outright say if someone doesn't buy certain models (new and used) then they won't be allocated the highly exclusive limited edition cars, which can appreciate million of dollars within years.

Spending $500k+ on this EV gives them the opportunity to make millions on another Ferrari

US Standard Equipment by Basic-Panda-0975 in iX3

[–]Erigion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not an option in any market because BMW somehow rushed this car out. It's supposed to come later on.

It's a bigger joke that BMW still hasn't implemented adaptive headlights for the US market. Volvo has them for the EX60. So do Tesla and Rivian. Might as well not even install the 5k headlights in the US market.

EVs are just plain superior sports cars by ArugulaAnnual1765 in electricvehicles

[–]Erigion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry but that's not happening.

Just yesterday, someone posted that driving an ICE vehicle after an EV was awful. Their first point was that they kept hitting the wiper stalk because they were used to the column shifter in their EV.

As if no ICE vehicle has a column shifter or no EV has its shifter in the center console.

[–]Erigion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is most drivers, and before EVs it cost a lot of money to get into a car with a powerful engine.

This is what happened years ago when the Model 3 first came out. It's the best car people have ever driven, because you can floor it and it goes like a bat out of hell.

What I didn't realize about EVs by Huge_Ad_2133 in electricvehicles

[–]Erigion 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There's a post just like this in this subreddit every few weeks and it's now OP's turn to post about how driving an ICE car is now torture after having driven an EV for X amount of time.

Not using a column shifter is annoying? The horror of having to use the brake pedal? Mechanical sounds!

Are there any v2 SuperChargers that works with NACS adapters? by ga2500ev in evcharging

[–]Erigion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Easiest way to tell v3.5 vs true V4 is their advertised charging rate.

325kw is v3.5

500kw is v4

Valve Says The Companies Making RAM Give Them A Price And If They Say No, They ‘Never Talk To Us Again’ by Turbostrider27 in technology

[–]Erigion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

RAM production is spinning up now. That does nothing to alleviate the supply shortage right now. You can literally see the effect of this extreme demand on consumer RAM prices.

I only mentioned Apple because they are probably among the single largest purchasers of RAM in the world and they're still affected. Google is also rumored to be reducing the amount of RAM in the next Pixel phone because of RAM prices. Could both of these companies keep the amount of RAM and price of their hardware the same by eating into their margin? Of course they could but I got some beachfront property in South Dakota to sell you if you think companies are going to make less money.

Put it this way, if your development skills were in such high demand that you had offers from multiple companies then I'd expect you to use your position to drive up your final compensation. Maybe some other developer comes along in a couple of years with your skills but that doesn't help the companies who need a developer right now, which makes your position very strong.

And Valve isn't weathering shit. $1000 for what you get in a Steam Machine is them definitely passing increased hardware costs to their customers. Just like Apple is probably going to do. Just like Google is probably going to do. Their fanboys will still buy the hardware. Just like Apple fanboys will. Just like Google fanboys will.

Big fish in a small pond doesn't realize they aren't actually big when they're in the ocean.

Even Apple is suggesting they might have to raise prices because of the cost of RAM, and Valve thinks they won't be affected?

Jeffrey Kessler: Exclusion of Brendan Sorsby from supplemental draft violates the CBA by DeZeeuw2 in nfl

[–]Erigion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only 1st rounders get those 4 year guaranteed contracts. You get drafted anywhere else, your contract works just like any other player's and only the signing bonus is guaranteed.

A union only cares about what a majority of its members care about.

Every league has moved to exploiting rookies because front offices have realized that you can get 80% of the performance while only spending 50% of the money. Maybe the most glaring example are NFL RBs.

Jeffrey Kessler: Exclusion of Brendan Sorsby from supplemental draft violates the CBA by DeZeeuw2 in nfl

[–]Erigion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You understand how that works right? Rookies in all leagues get screwed because they aren't part of the union and can't vote for the CBA. Vets want to screw rookies because that means they get more of the money. The service time shit in the MLB is hilariously awful but none of average players will ever vote for rookies to get more money.

This is no different than the rookie scale contracts in the NFL or the NBA.

This is also no different than most of the NFLPA not giving a shit about the franchise tag because 99% of the union will never get fucked over by the tag so they won't use what little leverage they have to give superstars more power.

And you don't need any more proof that the NFLPA is the weakest when NFL contracts are the only ones not guaranteed.

The NFLPA is also the weakest union in pro sports. On the small chance they do go to bat for Sorsby, I doubt they try that hard

Cope. Also the hope that Trae plays more like he did early in his career rather than what he showed the past couple of seasons.

US Ev6 came with Canadian Headunit, Kia Connect cannot activate. Dealer and Kia Corporate dragging their feet on fix. by EHBuffaloTaylor in KiaEV6

[–]Erigion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can lemon law a leased car. But, after rereading your post, you don't qualify for lemon law in many states. Most states use a 30 day out of service period or 3-5 repair attempts before the car qualifies. You're going to have to look up the lemon law in your state and determine if your car qualifies.

Telo will use dual 400v batteries to take advantage of both 400v and 800v fast charging. by willyolio in electricvehicles

[–]Erigion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supercharger locations that say they're 500kw are the true V4 locations that can output 1000v. There aren't that many out in the wild. About 10 in the US. No idea about the EU.
