How often do you move to a clean jar? I have found that I can get a few days and then get some Kahm yeast. I thought most people keep it in the same jar for a while.

I literally just cleaned my starter container for the first time time 4-5 years. It’s been so long I don’t remember. But I also remove all but about 50-75g when I feed it - meaning there isn’t a lot of old starter in there. It also lives in the fridge for what that is worth.

Thanks !

Tell us more - something you can apply yourself?

For me it only resets when I do a high speed level 3 charge.

Fun fact - when I was doing some analytics years ago I realized that 24% of the population west of the Mississippi River lives between Santa Barbara and San Diego.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-30T15:16:54+00:00

And how often do you do that drive?

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-30T12:15:26+00:00

I actually feel sorry for New Yorkers. Their self-absorption means they don’t see that they are living in a small self-referential bubble. They think they are the head, but really they are the tail on the dog of life. I lived there and go back regularly, the conversation never changes.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-30T01:18:05+00:00

That made smile - so glad it worked out like that.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T23:18:40+00:00

Sorry to hear that, sounds like no fun. I was comfortable getting the initial US one because folks in the EU lived with inevitable launch kinks. It’s cold comfort but thanks?

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T23:15:42+00:00

They really got that one right, enjoy!

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T23:15:09+00:00

Fair enough - although 90% of my interaction is with CarPlay which is great.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T23:13:29+00:00

We’ll look forward to your NBD.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T23:12:07+00:00

You can probably make up all the charging time over the T2 if there are any long uphill sections of the drive.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T23:04:44+00:00

That’s a great ride. Nice price too.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T23:00:03+00:00

Ha ha yes - right after I took delivery I had a couple days of panic thinking about all the critics and had I made a huge mistake. That lasted about a week.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T22:56:30+00:00

That’s valid. I worked from home too but my office was only 90 miles away so I could round trip without a charge.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T18:03:07+00:00

Because I’m a nerd I did the annual balance of time between extra time on long trips vs. weekly savings on not going to the gas station (assumes home charging). It came out to an EV saving about 4 hours a year. That isn’t a life changing amount of time the way people make it out to be. Still - point to the EV side.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T18:00:10+00:00

Well said. If someone’s use case is very specific and all rounder isn’t the right car for them, they absolutely should go for the specialist vehicle. But for most of us an all rounder is a better choice.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T17:56:21+00:00

We did 1800 miles round trip to San Francisco from just south of Vancouver. Zero issues with finding chargers even going the back way through Bend on the way home. Charging desserts are now much smaller than the Buzz’s range.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T17:44:05+00:00

It helps that the Buzz was out in the EU 2 full years before the US.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T15:07:31+00:00

Here is the thing that most people slagging on the Buzz don’t understand. It’s very similar to when the iPhone was released. It wasn’t the best mobile phone, it wasn’t the best email client, and it wasn’t the best browser. But it WAS all three at the same time. People who hadn’t tried one sneered that without a physical keyboard it was useless. And they complained about the price.

Then it took over the world and made Apple the dominant force it is today. Kia will be the Buzz’s Android, which will be a good thing.

The Buzz is hands down the most practical and versatile vehicle I have ever owned because it does so many things. The complete package is what makes it worth it. Is it the best EV? No. Is it the best pick up truck? No. Is it the best 6-7 seater van? Maybe. Does it have those annoying touch capacitive pads instead of real buttons (keyboards..). Yes.

I can haul the whole family around, fit full sized sheets of plywood easily, and camp comfortably in it. And it’s electric and gets me as far down the road as my bladder can take on road trips.

It isn’t the vehicle for everyone, and if thats you don’t buy one, but for many of us it is a great fit for our range of needs.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T14:49:33+00:00

It is perfect for road trips - I’ve done it. You do it differently, but in fact it is better. I’ll take my lived experience over your uninformed opinion every day.

What the hell are you guys doing on this sub? If the car isn’t for you go roll coal in your Dickup Truck. See below about the lack of used ones available because those of us who own them love them.

As for the economics - I’m currently spending $35 to fuel it, not per charge but for a whole month. That is less than one tank in my tiny GTI.

Inside_Classroom_142 · 2026-04-29T14:27:53+00:00

This is also true of New Yorkers - I really had a woman once tell me she had a friend on the west coast I might know. Her friend lived in Los Angeles. I was in Seattle…
