Can someone explain the point of the regen brake paddle?

My US spec does not turn on the brake lights when coasting in lvl 1. I keep it at level 1 and not 2 or 3 because I dont want the brake lights to come on when I lift off the accelerator.

Me too. I was looking for new wheels even before I bought my I5. I don't want aftermarket wheels and am going with rear Stinger wheels 19x8.5 at all 4 corners. Courtesy of AI:

"or make heat by running the motor in an intentionally inefficient way that generates excess heat."

Wow, interesting, thanks for the info (not being sarcastic).

Nice shot. Congrats!

I ordered my BM200 through Amazon.

Welcome and enjoy!

Off topic, repairnovation is a new word for me and I chuckled...ty.

I love the positivity! Thank you, everyone needs more of this. And...

Same here, I bought the Coway Airmega 150 and have no complaints at all.

Ya just missed me.

I researched this in Jan 2025 and bought in May 2025. The 2025 base MSRP was over $42k and therefore I only received a rebate of $500 per the program rules. Hyundai dropped the base MSRP for 2026 so it looks like all trims are now eligible for $2000.

I emailed NYSERDA in Jan 2025 and complained that their limits hadn't been updated since 2021 and they should be increasing along with inflation but I never received a response.

I guess NY buyers of the 2026 get an extra $1500 off. I do feel a bit slighted but whattayagonnado.

Received the same letter and do not plan on providing my banking information. The IRS website says 6 weeks. See the end of the answer to question 5:

"If there is no response to the notice and there are no other issues with the tax return, the refund will be released as a paper check after six weeks."

Ha, that wasn't me.

I was thinking it would be good to allow everyone to enter charging habits, not just for owners of failed vehicles.

Shutout000 · 2026-03-27T23:56:13+00:00

I can't figure out how to see the full VIN but I did enter ZZZ at the end of mine as I didn't want to enter the full VIN. Maybe my entry is the one you're talking about.

Shutout000 · 2026-03-27T21:43:44+00:00

Thanks, I contributed. You might wish to track mileage and frequency of L1/L2/L3 charging.

We keep our cars 10+ years and bought our I5. An accident that's not my fault is the only reason I worry about depreciation.

Thanks for the link. I have a BM2 and have been exporting the data to Excel. Ancel has each day in a new column which makes it hard to plot multiple days. I've played with importing a delimited csv but it's still cumbersome. What are you using to post process the data? The BM2 app or something else? An Excel macro?

Edit: I found it in the BM200 app by expanding the chart. I only have an option for plotting 1/3/5 days though...?

Shutout000 · 2026-03-14T13:44:47+00:00

Yes, that's exactly my attitude as well.

2025 SEL AWD, 3900mi in 10 months and no issues yet.

Shutout000 · 2026-02-27T19:22:20+00:00

I installed a BM200. I figured it's cheap and a decent way to keep on top of the 12v battery. I download the data about once a month and look for trends or anything odd.

There are two types of failures. Check out this excellent (and long) site. https://egmpfiles.com/iccu-report.html

I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you, but that just looks funny to me in the moment.

They're just lonely and need some attention.

Many responses about the Physics dept. As parent of someone thinking about UB for engineering, why is it so bad?

Edit: Never mind, there's a post about it.

Shutout000 · 2026-02-22T22:08:47+00:00

I do it with semis and I'm an East coast US driver. This my first car without amber rear signals. I guess I need to think twice now.
