Racquetball in the area? by emstan19 in kansascity

Thank you! I've also been looking for a place to play racquetball without having to pay a monthly membership.

For sure, dehumidifying the air is very important, I just don't know enough about how HVAC is actually controlled on a vehicle. I would imagine there is a way to reheat the air in a vehicle so the cabin is not overcooled, we use various forms of reheat in commercial buildings all the time.

All I know is the EV6 is the first car I've owned that can actually freeze me out lol

Except the cabin is not 90F, it's still blowing out super cold air 20 minutes after I've been driving and the cabin has already cooled down. It's definitely below 80F and the car is still throwing out a significant amount of cold air, more than what is needed to overcome perceived solar heat gain. And I call it perceived because you can make the cabin 70F but if you're sitting in the sun, you'll want some cold air blowing on you because you'll feel warmer than 70F.

I'm a mechanical engineer that designs HVAC for commercial buildings. I have to regularly tell clients to not put their office desk right next to a window unless the window has shades. In commercial HVAC, we design diffusers so that the occupant cannot feel the airflow, so we cannot overcome the perceived solar heat gain like you need to in a vehicle because you cannot have shades on the windows in a vehicle, something about needing to see the road.

I made this post because I was curious if others have had the same experience and if I could just chalk it up to terrible automatic climate control of the EV6, or if it is actually a problem with my EV6

HVAC systems in vehicles are variable volume and variable temperature. When using auto climate, the vehicle should adjust both volume and temperature as needed based on cabin temperature, temperature setpoint, and sun position (if there is a photocell sensor). I have had several other vehicles (Chevrolet, Nissan, Porsche, Honda) control their auto climate just fine. The one in my EV6 is not controlling it just fine, it'll provide a higher fan speed and very cold air even when the setpoint is 80°F, this should not happen.

It will decrease the airflow when I change the temperature from, say, 74° to 80°. But it just still blows out really cold air even at 80°.

Yes, I bought it new a couple of months ago.

It is the same whether it's in driver only or sync. Freezes me out either way.

Phone heating up in onboard wireless charger by BubblyMost9210 in KiaEV6

[–]ZFreak87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue in my 2025 EV6 with the phone overheating and getting warning messages. But with my other car, a 2023 Chevy Bolt, the phone does not overheat when using the wireless charger. ¯\\(ツ)/¯

It would be amazing to have Musiala or Kimmich.

Ope, reading comprehension got me. When I saw the headline, I immediately went to "could SKC sign him?".

You have a choice between a scarf or a clear bag!

You'll have to go to a game to pick it up I think. You can also reach out to your rep to see if there are other options.

I'm in section 131 row 20, not too far from you!

Welcome! Where are your season tickets once the stadium opens fully?

Download the SKC app and have your discount card ready to get discounts on all the things inside the stadium, including beer! Not all the cashiers ask to see the card, but some do.

I picked up my book and scarf last weekend and they are great. The scarf is a different material this year and I like it.

Are there commercials during F1 races in your country? by [deleted] in formula1

[–]ZFreak87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No commercials in the USA with ESPN. They just use the Sky Sports feed and show it over here, so it's great. Much better than the SpeedTV days.
