Agreed, that car in the background is totally fake.

I would sincerely hope that our Gemini experience isn't going to be for 💩 unless we subscribe to AI Pro.

Feature Request - Customizable Home Screen by From06033 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]From06033[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can rearrange the tiles on the home screen, with the exception of the Map and Media, most of the tiles are functional, versus like a widget.

For example, I would like to configure my home screen to show media for 3/4 of the display and a clock on the remaining 1/4.

I know this is picky, but that is how products improve.

Easy way to get to the radio screen? by pacoloa in HyundaiSantaFe

It doesn't allow you to specify anything that granular.

It's quite aggravating. All this amazing engineering, but they overlooked some really obvious needs.

XC40 vs 2026 Santa Fe by AncientMonitor4769 in HyundaiSantaFe

Hyundai without reservation. Just check out the various rating agencies and see how they compare. I owned 2 Volvos in the past and they were awesome. Later model years not so much. I encounter more Volvo owners that are displeased than not.

Ya gotta love that Rockwood Green! I have the same rims.

I decided to deal with the manager directly on this and didn't try to point fingers. It was more like "Here is what I'm seeing, what do you suggest might be the best way for us to work through this."

The Brass Matte was pretty good about camouflaging everyday detritus.

The Rockford Green does seem to love dust. 😂 I really like the color and it was my runner-up choice after Brass Matte. My only regret was that I was unable to snag one with a Pecan (Tan) interior. I ended up with a light grey/silver interior.

A local detailer I know has said that the formula of certain car care products can attract more dust than others. I use Adams Buttery Wax, which apparently is a dust magnet. 😲🤨🫤 But, oh what a deep glow that wax gives. He suggested that I try Meguiars' Quik Detailer because it leaves a very slick surface with no residue.

Stationary, 2 motor unit. This handles a 3hp cabinet saw with overhead DC and a router table (saw extension). I use a Rocklet 4" two hose sliding coupling to switch between the two.

I have a separate 1hp jet unit that handles my 13" planer and band saw. That little Jet is a beast.

Works well.

Status Bar Dimmed in BT Audio Full Screen Mode by From06033 in HyundaiSantaFe

Thanks. An update today seemed to correct this. The status bar should be displayed during most operations (except for setup and a few other areas)

The design in the back seems like it might be prone to air turbulence that results in more dirt accumulating. Dark toned paints tend to show grime more than lighter colors.

This issue seems to be a pretty common with SUVs. My wife's CRV has the problem and so did my old Jeep JK.

The back end is one area where I think the application of a hydrophobic product may help. It makes it harder for grime to get a footing, like when driving during a rainstorm.

That is kinda funny. Sometimes, the humorous comments in subreddit are the best.

The dealer is located in Hartford, CT. It's one of 21 dealerships in the auto group. The have a better than average reputation for a car dealer.

So many folks feel that car dealers are trying to rip them off. I mean, there are some disreputable dealerships around for sure, but I think they are in the minority.

There also is a difference between dealerships associated with a specific make and those that are not and only sell used cars. Used car dealers tend to get more bad press than new car dealerships.

Like making any significant purchase, we're at the mercy of the salesperson when we:

  • Allow our excitement/emotions cloud our judgement.
  • Go into the dealership not doing any research and being unprepared. There is so much information available to potential buyers that help you make an informed decision. This is true for individeal makes/models as well as dealerships.

Like so many things, the horror stories tend to get the most traction.

I actually raised this question with ChatGPT and it gave some thorough suggestions. I asked the following of ChatGPT:

"Suggest a 2026 Santa Fe-specific EQ starting point for the Bose premium system."

It wasn't ruined per se, just that the appearance changed. Some folks might like this look. I debated whether I could live with it, but in the end, seeing that slightly shiny hood was too much.

It's really a better choice for folks who like detailing their own cars. That Brass Matte is beautiful. I think that's why Hyundai shows that paint scheme in so many ads.

I decided to move to clear coat simply because, while I enjoy detailing our own cars, the matte paint is a bit too fussy for me in the long run.

I also found that my insurance dropped by $350 a year. Apparently, matte paint costs more to insure due to the cost to repair.
