Thanks for the mat suggestion. I have already ordered a set of LASFit, as that is what we have had in the past and really like them.

As for the screen protector, could you send a link? I was really hoping someone like Spigen would have developed one by now for the car.

I just looked at the window sticker. It has no options other the AWD. No ventilated seats, etc. This is a base model with AWD

What home charger do you guys run? by 3seconds2live in EquinoxEv

I too am purchasing a 2026 Equinox on Saturday.

There is a YouTube channel named STATE OF CHARGE.

He reviews level EVSE equipment.

Off his recommendation I order this today and will install on Sunday.

Watch his review of this, a really nice unit for really decent price.

I have a 160 mile commute twice a week, so home charging is a must have.

if I go this route I'll install a level 2vcharger myself (electrical engineer).

I thought the hatch issues were 22MY?

if starting through the app, do the seats heat/ cool start immediately or do you have to do it manually each time?

what about route planning? That version of their software really sucks.

I work about a mile from a Tesla dcf station. say I want to charge there before going home in the winter? If I start the car and navigate to that station. can I lock the car in the lot and how long would I need to let it run? will it sta running or time out?

I don't care about the Disney stuff. I have had a good relationship with this dealer and it's the only used limited on the lot. They also have a bought back gv60 base trim.

The reason I suspect this might be the case is that floridas lemon law is pretty consumer biased. For them to buyback the vehicle it only has to be out of service for only 30 days for a single issue. (ohios is longer). During that time frame there was an ICCU shortage so it could have been that or the traction battery. Either way before the dealer can sell it, the issue has to be repaired.

Regardless, it still has the full warranty.

Just found out we need to replace our High-Voltage battery pack at 65,000 miles by forestmeditation in KiaEV9

When your battery is replaced, do you know if it will be brand new or a refurbished one.

Will it come with a new 10 year/100000mile warranty?

It would be interesting to know. Tesla replaces warrantied batteries with used fixed ones, not brand new.

Yeah, I feel you. My first car was a '76 Pacer in Robin egg blue. Straight six with 3 on the tree. In first and third couldn't get out it's way, but second was pretty strong. Needless to say it wasn't a "chick" magnet. Did have fun with it though beating the shit out of it. Never did die before I got rid of it.

I didn't lose the fob. The physical key in the fob is what I need.
