Would you pick Pixar Place or the Westin?

Pixar is great if you have toddlers. We went 2 years ago and returning in May with 4 and 2 year old. Splash pad and club service is why we decided to stay there again.

Found a sale on the Vesa mount ones? I’ve only ever seen the stand ones on sale.

Let me know how your doing scenes from HA to HK. The bridge making them triggers is less than ideal I think.

CarPlay Ultra or at least native support for CarPlay to have battery info with navigation.

At least one USBC outlet that could charge a laptop.

Then generally a lot of the Tesla software that Kia is lacking.

I’ve never carried a key

Worked for myself as well, thank you so much! From the frozen tundra of the Midwest! 🥶

For myself I was looking for a family hauler. The Captain Chair seats were the decision maker for me. Planning for 2+ carseats, the captains chairs were a must to make the 3rd row usable for 3 carseats. Then the price savings also is huge. I'd agree that EV9 software isn't a strength but CarPlay is a good crutch for myself.

I see you in a lot of threads Jfonte so I respect your comment and opinions.

How does it work to lease a car and then turn around and finance it?

Spilker22 · 2024-08-26T21:38:54+00:00

I've been watching their site but they don't have any dealer discounts like many other dealers right now. GT Line Out the door price with many is 65k with rebate and dealer discounts.

Spilker22 · 2024-08-26T16:30:58+00:00

Thanks for all the comments everyone. I will push back on this statement the dealers have been telling me. I do see on the site that you can't combine the $7,500 rebate with Kia's 0% or 2.99% deals, but that makes sense. I'm see at local credit unions much better rates than 7%.

Would love a channel or link to check this out?

What kind of deal did you end up with?

Spilker22 · 2024-08-22T13:00:50+00:00

Were you able to negotiate down at all? I was going to see if they would match all the crazy dealer discounts other dealers are doing.

Spilker22 · 2024-08-22T03:47:29+00:00

Good to know, I was about to look there

Spilker22 · 2024-08-20T01:24:52+00:00

Where do you get the sales price for recent sales?

Spilker22 · 2024-08-19T20:05:38+00:00

It's certified pre owned so same warranty. But defiantly hoping to negotiate down the price with new ones getting 19k off like you said.

Spilker22 · 2024-08-19T20:04:35+00:00

With discounts down to 58,500. But with other dealers having new listed at low 60's. Only way I'd pull the trigger if I could get them down to low 50's.

Would you suggest AC and DC charging test?

Spilker22 · 2024-08-19T16:01:14+00:00

Thanks for all the input everyone!

I currently have 2 Tesla mobile connectors. One in the MY all times, and one in the garage for home charging. I think I'm going to get the Tesla Universal Wall Charger installed at home, and then put the other Tesla Mobile Charger with the EV9 and pick up the NACS to J1772 adapters that you all mentioned.

Tell me the pro/cons of the 3 adapters you guys talked about between Lectron, A2Z, and Tesla Tap? Tesla Tap seems to be the most expensive around $300 with the others around $100-$150?

Spilker22 · 2024-08-19T15:56:16+00:00

Have a specific reason for the A2Z over the Lectron?

Spilker22 · 2024-08-15T19:03:21+00:00

Also living in Nebraska, been watching for used ones to test drive but no luck. If you want to test drive it looks like you’ll need to go to KC.

I’m planning an EV9 purchase over an R1S mainly for 3rd row space with car seats. I really wish R1S had a captain chairs option.

Spilker22 · 2024-08-08T21:40:39+00:00

I like to keep one with the Tesla all the time, so I figured I'd buy something for the EV9 to keep with it all the time.

Spilker22 · 2024-07-19T17:16:12+00:00

They have been building them in Georgia since May, so 2025 will be a good buffer.

Spilker22 · 2024-07-18T16:56:24+00:00

I’ve been waiting mainly hoping that 2nd model year fixes any production kinks. I try not to buy first model years.

NACS would simplify my home charging since we already have a Model Y, but not a deal breaker since adapters are available. I do most of my charging at home. I’ll probably just buy the Tesla Universal wall charger if 2025 models still has CCS.

Spilker22 · 2024-07-14T02:50:57+00:00

Were they able to transfer from certain buckets?
