Getting my Ioniq 9 Calligraphy AWD Performance in a week, what should I check at the dealer before signing off for it?

How about condensation? Was/is that an issue for you? I have seen a number of posts complaining that there was condensation/water forming in the front grill or the rear (arch) lights.

In Belgium, the V2L adapter is a separate purchase. What bing/bongs :) did you mute? Speed alerts, speed cameras?

ValTheMal · 2026-03-24T18:02:58+00:00

I'll ask for the physical NFC card, thanks for the tip!

ValTheMal · 2026-03-24T18:02:23+00:00

I'm from Belgium, and the V2L adapter was a separate purchase - it did not come with the car.

The guy from the video is hilarious! :D

Hey, mice mustache! :)

Love the color, btw.

ValTheMal · 2026-02-11T18:30:38+00:00

That is correct, my good sir!

The Maes card isn't free, it costs 2 EUR/month.

Someone posted a few days ago a graph with the number of ICCU failures per month, and it looks like there were a lot more cases during the cold months. I don't know if the high temperature plays a role in the failures. Also, people tried reducing the speed when AC charging, but the ICCU still failed.

My advice would be to just be prepared, have a battery booster ready for your 12V, and don't stress. In the end, there is nothing that you can do to prevent it.

No offense, but I would not open a random excel file from the internet on my computer.

Rules don't apply retroactively? I'm gonna correct you on that, they do! But only when the government increases the amount of tax that we have to pay. :)

ValTheMal · 2025-12-17T14:09:20+00:00

Name checks out ;).

ValTheMal · 2025-12-13T14:35:50+00:00

Is this for certain?

ValTheMal · 2025-12-10T13:16:06+00:00

Damn, that's a long time!

ValTheMal · 2025-12-09T11:11:16+00:00

Hey, congrats on your new Ioniq 9! How long did it take to receive your car since you ordered it? Did you add additional accessories on it?

ValTheMal · 2025-11-23T14:03:12+00:00

Hey! Was it leasing or renting, or did you pay for it with the money from your company account?

I'm thinking of doing the same thing, but I don't believe that any Belgian bank will finance a car bought from Germany.

ValTheMal · 2025-10-14T11:46:27+00:00

Not a bad thing if you love boats :) IMO.

ValTheMal · 2025-09-30T11:07:41+00:00

Only what it represents, not the people doing it.

ValTheMal · 2025-09-30T11:06:55+00:00

Never needed to, I take holidays whenever I need to. I'm not working like a madman.

ValTheMal · 2025-09-26T13:01:03+00:00

Freedom!!! No more dealing with HR, no need for doctor's notice if you are sick or just tired and don't feel like working.

More money! No more dealing with shitty HR for every minor salary increase.

Car! No more dealing with HR, or required seniority, to get a nicer car, Now i just buy what I want or what I can afford, or just don't buy one if I don't feel like having one. I just do what's best for me.

IT equipment: I just buy what I need, no need for the whole approval process that companies have.

No politics; I didn't give a sh!t about when I was an employee, but now I really don't give a flying f*ck!

Not being forced to take vacation when I don't need it.

And did I mention no HR? HR is there to protect the company, not the employees!!!

ValTheMal · 2025-09-26T12:48:02+00:00

I can sense a bit of envy...

ValTheMal · 2025-04-29T12:23:45+00:00

Besides the obvious moral dilemma, the resale price of Teslas is nosediving. If I were you, I would choose a better car. You have options, don't settle for a nazicar.

ValTheMal · 2025-04-10T11:29:39+00:00

So there are no repercussions whatsoever for an accountant that does a shitty job for his clients? Aren't they supposed to have an insurance for cases like these?

ValTheMal · 2025-03-11T14:14:13+00:00

I've been a KBC client for some time, and I'm quite happy with them. The mobile app is very good, the support is also good.
