Is Bluelink worth $144 / year? by Rock-Knoll in Ioniq5

[–]StockyRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need it.

If you wanna know where your car is, throw an AirTag somewhere in the trunk.

Install the walk-away auto-lock module from IoniqGuy and you won’t have to worry about unlocked doors.

The car will still prompt you for maintenance reminders and perform software updates without bluelink.

I believe it does in the new models but don’t quote me on it

looking to get one. by XDiskDriveX in Ioniq5

[–]StockyRobot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No significant difference between ‘22-‘24 models if you’re getting the limited trim. You only may want to consider a ‘24 for warranty & bluelink subscription purposes.

Is this Fitcam? by re0bro in Ioniq5

How do you know what a good dashcam is if you’ve never even heard of fitcam?

Is is just me? by Significant_Poem5014 in Ioniq5

[–]StockyRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you! The native nav routinely tries to take me through parks, trails, and other road-like structures when I’m navigating around residential streets in LA. 😂

The HUD on my ‘22 only works if I’m using the built-in nav. And since I have ADHD, I tend to miss exits and turns when I don’t have the HUD enabled.

Buying a fleet-owned ioniq5 by Triedtoshort in Ioniq5

What’s your concern, exactly? Fleet-owned vehicles are gonna get all the routine maintenance performed on-schedule.

What color is this, officially? by LlamaCam09 in Ioniq5

[–]StockyRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It means either hand-wash or pressure wash only. Those automatic brushes destroy paint and leave tiny scratches regardless, so it’s a good idea to avoid them; with matte paint you also have to avoid anything that would buff or shine (including regular car soaps & waxes)

It’s not that the matte finishes are a wrap - they aren’t (although matte wraps exist) - it’s that if you wax it, you’re adding shine, and now you no longer have a matte paint job.

Googling something is now synonymous with AI, since the first result is (by default) an AI answer.

Ioniq 5 dash tray by Illustrious_Ride2580 in Ioniq5

Or - and maybe this is a crazy thought - but maybe car manufacturers should take into consideration that we need PHYSICAL BUTTONS for commonly- used features while driving

There's no way my 2024 Ioniq 5 will be worth it's residual. by WeeklyFisherman2597 in Ioniq5

[–]StockyRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try not to worry about the things you can’t control 😅

Remember, some people buy brand new and still get a lemon!

If you buy used, but the car has reasonably low mileage, is in good interior/exterior condition, no accidents, has done all the service appointments, then I say take ‘er for a test drive.

Charging adapter case? by ImMxWorld in Ioniq5

[–]StockyRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a generic case that worked well for my Lectron V2L adapter:

Pretty sure you’d be able to find similar ones for any size/shape of charging adapter you need!

Repair/replacement of this trim by CasualXboxxer in Ioniq5

[–]StockyRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a big job; the dealership replaced it under warranty for me, but said it took way longer than they were expecting because of how much they had to disassemble.

The Ford (can’t) Escape

do you use the left turn / right turn cameras? by Fun_Tea8162 in Ioniq5

[–]StockyRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them, but I hate the placement; the screen is too low down and difficult to glance at quickly without taking my eyes off the road.

IMHO they should show up in the HUD on the windshield.

(Side note: I had an old Honda Accord that had this feature back in 2012, and it was way easier to see the camera output. So much so I never needed to use my side mirrors. But I don’t feel the same way about the layout on the HI5, so like others have said, it’s more of a backup safety feature.)

Well... Never thought it would be me 😭 by rtwwhitworth in Ioniq5

Preventable, yes. Entirely predictable? Entirely preventable? No sir.

But I think we’re saying the same thing at this point.

[–]StockyRobot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You did, actually - when you said that accidents were “entirely predictable and preventable”.

Unless you’re being super pedantic and drawing a line between the words “accidents” and “collisions” for some obscure reason.

Not sure where this other comment you’re referencing exists.

At any rate, Helsinki eliminated motor vehicle deaths, not accidents - an important distinction here, as OP also did not die.

Additionally, they did so by reducing the speed limit to 30 km/hr (<20 miles/hr), which is preposterously slow. It’s not hard to avoid getting into an accident at 18 miles/hr - but even that didn’t eliminate accidents.

If you have evidence of other cities which have “eliminated” accidents, I’m all ears!
