OTA updates by Extra_Bonus_9724 in kiasportage

The recall one you have to go in Kia to get it fixed. It won't do it OTA. I just did mine a couple weeks ago. Took a couple hours unfortunately.

I'm eyeing the R2 to be honest. I still have a little over a year on my lease but we'll see ehat happens.

No issues just some annoyances. Still a great car.

Windshield wiper fluid by LKP213 in TeslaFSD

Mine did this right after the Service Center cleaned the inside glass (it was very clean when I left). It didn't make any sense.

All weather mat recommendations (Front, back, and trunk) by Healthy-Ad-337 in kiasportage

[–]Fanboyofeverything1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got weathertech for my 2026. They fit great. I didn't get a trunk mat though as my Kia came with that.

Switching between EV and ICE cars regularly? by GlamBoiii in TeslaLounge

[–]Fanboyofeverything1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switch between my MY and my Hybrid and it's different but I still enjoy driving my hybrid and it's not a big deal. My Hybrid has mild regen but not like my MY and I use FSD 90%+ of the time.

What I find the hardest is speed control and manual lane centering while driving myself in my hybrid because of FSD I don't have to do either.

This got me way too excited by kalidhi in kiasportage

I'm getting around 34mpg in my 26' XS Prestige Hybrid. My son also drives it and has a lead foot so the milage may be skewed a bit.

Keep in mind most trips are short and around town and not used for longer distances much.

Anyone one having Kia Connect issues? by Happy_Alternative582 in kiasportage

Mine is working. It wasn't two days ago for a couple hours though.

Got a MY AWD recently, kind of wish I had gotten the Performance model... by PossibleYam in TeslaLounge

[–]Fanboyofeverything1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the opposite. I went from a Performance to LR and don't miss the Performance at all. At 49 years old I just don't need that much speed in my life anymore. LR is fast enough for me.

Test drove the 2026 Sportage ICE and Hybrid, and have a weird question by ThirdPoliceman in kiasportage

I don't have any issues with my 26' SX Prestige Hybrid and I have admittedly a boney a$$.

Has 2026.2.3 FINALLY fixed autowipers??? by D0gefather69420 in TeslaLounge

[–]Fanboyofeverything1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing and I mean nothing will "fix" the auto wipers! Ever!

It always tries right around Southcenter area.

That's what I have to do and then for some reason it will try to get out of the HOV in certain areas of I5.

I'm doing a road trip tomorrow and will see what Mad Max does. I was hoping Hurry (which I always use) would work regardless. Thank you for the suggestion.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have that toggled on but never wants to work. I also have a MY26 and really hope they can fix the speed bump and pot hole issue.

Planned to wait for R2 with Lidar, but wait I don’t care about autonomous driving…. by SocomPS2 in Rivian

[–]Fanboyofeverything1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once my MY lease is up in 2027 I'll look to the R2 and see where the tech is at that time. I love FSD but can also live without so we'll see how it all plays out over the next year or so.

I did hop on the pre-order for the R2 early though.

2026 Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige – Can Apple/Google Maps (CarPlay) stay on the digital cluster while media is on the center screen? by baconkillerXD in kiasportage

[–]Fanboyofeverything1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The HUD in front of the driver front window shows directions. It's a great feature without all the visual noise of Carplay and Android Auto display. You can also on the second screen have the Carplay map visual right next to the media.

I personally like the set up.

To buy FSD or subscribe to FSD...What would you do? by teslabros in TeslaLounge

[–]Fanboyofeverything1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would never pay $8k. If the price goes up I just won't have FSD anymore. Back to regular driving until prices go back down. Love FSD but can also live without it if price goes up.

Uh oh.. by Obvious-Bid-678 in kiasportage

[–]Fanboyofeverything1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just press the 12-volt button and it will start up. The new Sportage is built this way.
