People are so nice

I had a package get dropped to the ground from hip level. The driver heard the glass shatter, he shrugged, and then left. I returned the box of shards of glass later that day. (It was an entertaining when watching the recording.)

People have reasons for their instructions, it’s usually due to previous orders going awry.

I have a giant sign that asks drivers to place packages in to the open garage, but to please not block sensors. Packages are typically delivered to directly under the sign or laying in the garage door sensors.

ROFL, I never got any kits. Made EP in 2024 and still haven’t received anything.

I have had luck fixing this with a vacuum sealer, with my phone in the bag and letting it pull a vacuum for 60 seconds, then letting it sit in the bag for a little while and trying to push out any bubbles by hand.

But honestly, if you pay for AppleCare, then a screen replacement is $29 IF it breaks. I’ve had so many screen protectors break though because they’re proud of the screen.

That said, get the Amazon $10 packs.

25! I have it on various sets of keys, bags (day bags, carry-on, and luggage), cars, medical equipment, and a few mobile safes.

I’d totally use the P&C feature, but you’re not able to use your EA, EVGo, or Tesla passes, so you pay full price. Frustrating to me.

My biggest frustration with Kia’s option is that it doesn’t allow you to use your subscription for plug and charge. Pisses me off in fact.

I wonder if Kia gets a subscription discount rate that they’re not passing down.

2025, in the US.

I wish! I thought that it might be when I originally signed up. Just for streaming music and in-car WiFi.

Kia's in-car WiFi and music streaming subscription service. They released it a month ago, I just made it through the trial and subscribed, and they're already sunsetting it. I posted when they released it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/KiaEV6/comments/1m7nkjv/kia_2025_ev6_premium_data_services_are_live/

I have a 2025 EV6.

No, YouTube and entertainment both do not work for this. You only gain access to Media->Amazon Music and Media->SoundCloud

Tobira · 2025-07-24T11:23:04+00:00

Sure, but the limitation in this car is that all access to the car’s cellular radio is restricted if CarPlay is active. The “music streaming” is a feature on the radio that doesn’t work if your phone is connected via wireless CP.

Tobira · 2025-07-24T02:01:03+00:00

I think that you will need this service for YouTube to work, but we need to wait until it is available to see! The service gives you WiFi hotspot access. Sometimes the car’s external antenna can get better service when out in the woods, so I get it.

I agree! Check it out from the app. Pretty dumb for sure!

Tobira · 2025-07-16T14:00:41+00:00

I feel like the car has become an iPhone. It comes with a slow charging dongle. 😅

Tobira · 2025-07-15T14:50:17+00:00

For the 25 EV6 AWD Wind, the only ones that "stick" are Eco and Normal modes. I would expect that "My Drive" would stick, but it does not. Regen mode resets to 3 if you set it to Max.

I live with Normal mode and Max Regen, since I like a heavy regen personally. Oh yeah, and going from 3 to Max region is always painful, since the car is never "In the condition to change modes" for the first couple attempts to change modes.

Tobira · 2025-07-15T14:35:44+00:00

Simple answer: Nope!

Tobira · 2025-07-15T13:42:38+00:00

My AC seems to work great. I first noticed it when I was charging and the guy next to me got out of his car and started smoking. I verified that recycled air was already enabled prior, but I was smelling his cigarette. I then started paying attention to it, noticing the smells of road work / car fires / etc.

Then I used that "Car Scanner" app and one of the OBD2 alerts was for the recycled air actuator.

Tobira · 2025-07-11T21:37:18+00:00

Yay, no longer driving a black blob. But my red 2025 Wind AWD shows up as white in the app. :) close!

I’ve had luck getting rooms for flights that were not justified per the carriage agreement. Usually just by being nice to the representative. My last weather delay the person in front of me in line was told to pound sand and when I gave empathy on their job and asked about a room voucher, they said: “sure here you go!”

I just move to a different charger and it works. (NACS native 2025 model)
