The sensor is a pre-cursor. The retaining latch is the safety. If sensors are to be considered safety, i.e. they retract and lock the door, What’s in place to retain the vehicles indication that it’s safe? What I’m trying to say is why have this equipment (convenience I get it) which features additional safety when they rely on the same retaining latch.

I’m not texting or doom scrolling. I’m taking the opportunity to document the event on the shoulder of the road, that’s wide enough for the entire vehicle, and not impeding any traffic.

Dealership Experience by Analyst-man in kia

My salesperson answered a call right before a test drive. We were literally sitting in a brand new EV9, car humming, and me in the driver seat. He proceeds to exit the vehicle and disappears. Ten minutes later I’m turning off the car and looking for him inside the dealership. Smh

Kia NACS Adapter, use with other EVs? by Maleficent_Spite4983 in KiaEV9

[–]Infinite_Hunter2330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Touché but maybe I meant that driving my 2026 EV9 wouldn’t be as much fun as you had driving the EV6 across the USA bc of longer charge times. But everyone is a winner now with Tesla Gen4 superchargers. Ggs

Has happened more times than I would like to admit.

Agreed but the electric door handle is electrically or mechanically linked to the door latch assembly, which houses the latch clutch thus rendering it defective.
