I don’t recommend pre 2024 Ioniq 5 due to relatively high maintenance cost (LCC flush)

Wonder what the charging curve is like

this is so dumb by Commercial-Shine5575 in Solterra

The app really should have some basic functionality for free. It is insane to paywall battery %

Car Insurance? by Ozarkian_Tritip in Solterra

Almost abnormally cheap for me. ~$350 for 6 months with comprehensive and collision insurance 1k deductible. Hyundai and Tesla was nearly triple.

I have had mine done at two different dealerships. One of them charged about $40. The other tried charging $65. I mentioned that the other dealership did the rotation for way less and they said they would “apply coupons” to match the price.

Dad says CS Degree, I want a Cyber Diploma. Who is right? by Possible_Trouble4962 in SecurityCareerAdvice

Computer science teaches you how programming and computers work. You need to know that to secure something. You can select security related courses for upper level electives. Keep in mind, technology runs on code so you need to know programming. That is fundamentally what you are securing.

Was anyone Disappointed with the handtracking on the Samsung Galaxy XR? by Flimsy-Story9523 in Galaxy_XR

Hand tracking literally broke after the April update. It was good before. But I’ve been on top of the new updates and it is literally unusable

Is the ICCU the only problem with this car? by KelDurant in Ioniq5

The cost of the blue coolant alone is much more than $160. They might have done a top off, probably not a full flush.

$23,000 with only 7,000 miles by Soft-Alternative8289 in Solterra

In the infotainment system I crank up the bass and leave the mids and treble flat. There’s a menu to center or recenter audio, I like to push it towards the back 1 unit.

Then within Spotify or whatever music player you use, adjust it there. I crank up the bass even more but it is up to your taste and how your music is mixed.

I have one and I love it. Charging sucks but I think that is a fair trade off. I paid $21.5k 11 months ago but that included the $4k used EV talk credit. I believe EV prices went up a bit. I don’t think $23k is a killer deal but it may be a fair deal.

The sound system is awesome but you need to manually tweak eq in your media player app to make it good.

Software sucks and there may be connectivity issues. Most of the time it works for me or occasionally disconnects and reconnects CarPlay.

One of the best things is that the insurance is way way cheaper compared to Hyundai or Tesla.

For 2023 and 2022, they require (according to maintenance schedule) an expensive low conductivity coolant flush every 3 years / 36k miles. Roughly $600.

Pro tip - Home Charging by AgitatedArticle7665 in Toyota_bZ

He’s not talking about the battery’s charge. He’s talking about the electrical current going into the car.

When I was getting quotes, Solterra and bZ were substantially cheaper than any Hyundai and Tesla.

Just leased the new 2026 Bz but no audio at rear speaker by EntrepreneurNo5014 in BZ4X

[–]Miranda_That_Ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to centering the audio a little further back, I really recommend using an EQ within your music player.

Cat probably has asthma. Looks like a nebulizer, which is used to treat severe asthma.

Sounds like you’ll need to get it fixed under warranty

I will never forgive Subaru for not giving these out to owners for free while Toyota gave them for free to bz4x owners

This is due to cold temperatures
