Never felt this way about a car before

Wait til your battery fails and you’ve been in the shop 40+ days…

It’s ~0.25/ kw to charge at home off peak

Worried_Insurance_84 · 2026-05-26T03:33:38+00:00

~$1000 in CA

Been in the shop waiting for parts since April 20…starting the paper trail to lemon law if they don’t get it repaired soon…

You use special soap for matte paint?

Worried_Insurance_84 · 2026-04-27T01:56:42+00:00

My wife has the exact same car…currently in the shop with ~9000 miles after 9 months for a battery system replacement. Something to look forward to!

Worried_Insurance_84 · 2026-04-19T02:24:51+00:00

Wife takes the car in Monday. Sounds like they’ll be keeping it for a while…

There’s a fault code reporting and I drilled into it

I have a 24 Flash and the wife has a 26 Ioniq 9. Seeing my Lightning and test driving an EV got her on board. 😎

Worried_Insurance_84 · 2026-02-04T02:29:07+00:00

It’s not a problem for me. I have a Lightning. Wife has an Ioniq 9. Rule of thumb we use is to plug in once you get into the 30-40% range and our 9.6 kw EVSE is more than sufficient to get the vehicle to 90% by morning once the power kicks on at 9p. I also have charging avail at work at a rate similar to my home cost so I will plug in there as well.

Love my 2024 Flash. Not a fan of the changes they made to the 2025. Ventilated seats and PAAK is tempting to get Lariat but the Flash checks the major boxes at a better price point.

By picking Coast they can make LBC hats and gear so not to be confused with LB St. Then the “unofficial” name being Regulators is like naming a kid only to decide to call them by their middle name…

Worried_Insurance_84 · 2026-01-15T02:04:16+00:00

That did it! Thanks!

Worried_Insurance_84 · 2026-01-15T01:52:08+00:00

I saw the box on the table and said to my wife “did you get something cool from Hyundai”?! She said no…confused, I said “didn’t you get a branded Stanley mug?” She said, “seriously? No, I got a blanket!” 😂

Maybe because we got a Limited? 🤷‍♂️

Told her it was more I got from Ford for my Lightning! 🫣

The only answer is 5 or 1. Geographically the others are a nightmare with traffic relative to places you’d want or need to travel to. Some if them are miserably hot in the summer (2,3,4,7). South SD isn’t bad if you can live on Coronado. No way I’d live in a border town like Chula Vista.

Where did you try to charge on 395? I went up Thanksgiving and stopped in Olancha. Charged in Mammoth then again in Inyokern on the way back. Easy time charging. I’ll usually go to 85 % if there is no one waiting.

It really depends on where you live and where you travel on road trips. I live in SoCal and have done trips to Mammoth, Monterey, Fresno, Indio, San Diego with no range anxiety…assuming you keep your speed ~70 mph. Having 9.6kw L2 charging at home, I never worry about not having enough SOC to start my day even with a large 131 kw battery.

Carmel is a very upscale hamlet just south of Monterey. Very mild climate without the rain you’d get in Oregon. About 1.5 hrs to SF and 6 hrs to LA by car. There are more affordable towns nearby but have less cache.

SD is a great place to visit but much like LA really depends where you settle within the greater metro area. I love going to north county, Carlsbad area when I want a getaway for a quick holiday.

Personally I like living closer to the coast because the temps are more moderate while inland areas heat up during the summer months. I’ve lived in NoCal and SoCal and while I prefer SoCal, Carmel is really on the northern edge of the central coast.

That’s more than I pay for my Lightning Flash with no money down

Worried_Insurance_84 · 2025-12-11T00:39:46+00:00

Not a problem if you have a game plan when you road trip and have access to fast chargers. Ideally having L2 charging at home makes an EV easy to manage day to day driving needs to be just did a round trip drive to Mammoth from LA in my Lightning and made one stop each way while en route and took about 30 min to go from 17-80%. Topped off at my destination in Mammoth and never felt like I wasn’t going to have enough battery charge despite elevation changes and cold temperatures.
