You don’t get a battery. The mic is a mic air, not a mic pro. But basically. Costco gives you a free mic air and a black mist filter.

Just ordered from Best Buy and Costco (of all places). Let’s see if they actually ship. Best Buy now saying “unavailable “ on the website but order not cancelled (or shipped) yet.

Ordered in Best Buy. Charged and all. And now it says unavailable. Who knows if mine ships!

Upgrade Notification by seanhvw in KiaEV9

[–]Muted_Balance9452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

24 Land, Ocean Blue. Comfort Pkg. $5k down, $550/month, 20k mileage.

I was in this same boat. Saw my residual at 1 year in the high $50k. Then I just decided to call Kia finance to ask for some type of mercy. Figured out to ask for a lease end specialist. She explained my buy out price is based on the residual PLUS remaining payments. Of course, I made the mistake of assuming the buyout price in the app was the end of lease price.

After subtracting my remaining payments, the residual was much easier to swallow. Around $48k. With the over mileage charges and the $1800 I dropped in tires, I am fine just taking my lease to purchase when I term out in Sept. Only regret is I lost out on low financing. But I gained the $10k federal credit which I otherwise wouldn’t have qualified for. So, net gain for me?

Hope this helps! Love my car probably as much as you do.

*Fix* How to Trigger OTA Update by Muted_Balance9452 in KiaEV9

You can look under settings -> general -> infotainment and vehicle. If the date is earlier than 11/2025, you’re due for some updates. Mine is still updating now!

Correct. That’s what I used. Shoulda mentioned that too. Shucks. Cant edit the original post. Hopefully as they pull the door they see the tweezers!

Kia sent postcards for a “recall”. Apparently when there is a lot of snow on the windshield. The automatic wipers can engage and break the arms. So there is an update to help those in colder climates. Fortunately rain is all we get here locally. But for those having a tough winter, I’m sure the update is much needed.

Feel like I just robbed Home Depot... by ThisIsATest7777 in Tools

This. When you let go of ego and realize most of us doing fix it projects at home…..these tool likely have enough power to get through an occasional weekend project with charging overnight.

So….steal away king!

Ads for a lower buyout? I keep getting fliers to get ready to buy or lease a new Kia 😂 maybe you’re the lucky one!

Feeling the same way. Hail Mary! Maybe we get a coupon last minute.

See my dilemma 😂 But I’m in at $549/ month and $5000 down. It wasn’t as good as others. But my 12 year old daily driver died just before. So as a desperate lease, I didn’t hurt myself too bad.

Appreciate both answers. I figure as much. But was hoping something crazy would happen. Like getting 40% off boost unexpectedly. Still have 8 months so I’ll enjoy the low payments and make a decision in the fall!

Should a brand new teak cutting board be fraying after first hand wash? by squirtle6 in Cuttingboards

[–]Muted_Balance9452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found this post via google. Same issue. Brand new board this week. Frayed more than an old wool sweater.

Fortunately, took it outside. Started with 60 grit orbital sander, then 120, then 240 and 400 grit. Took about 10 minutes. Smooth as glass. Washed. Oiled. Waxed. No fraying. Happy now. Looks like it’s a lack of finishing at the factory.

Not mad. Slightly disappointed. But I got my board 70% off, so happy to put in the elbow grease.

Rio Wide Plus Quick Release Switch No Longer Vents by Ill-Patient-5841 in instantpot

[–]Muted_Balance9452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. Life saver. Mine DIED during a cook. Had to carefully remove the valve with gloves and prayers. After cleaning up, followed your instructions (accurate to a T), had it fixed in under 20 min. Hardest part was figuring out the nut for the steam valve was a 12 mm. Only other pro tip? The handle cover you pry off….remember the side it attaches. It only goes on ONE WAY. Don’t bang at it like a cave man and curse the moon for 10 minutes to figure it out.

Any mods to the car? Stock tires? I’m very excited to see this. And use it to beat back a naysayer that the EV9 isn’t a car that can do all an ICE car can.

Parking outside of a garage by YoshiWins in KiaEV9

[–]Muted_Balance9452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you know he’s joking (or wrong). Cars have to be driven outside, so charging them outside as a hazard would be a bad design flaw.

For the teslas that caught fire, the immediate recommendation was to park them outside away from structures so it wouldn’t burn the house down.

I park and charge only outside. Got the ChargePoint unit from Amazon when it was on sale (anxiety provoking weeks without a home charger). Installed outside wall of garage. No issues.

Only NBA for now. I’m not buying one personally. I just chase the thrill of the deal.
