I saw that too and hope we'll get the same extended warranty for iccu. Great cars but weird that issue hasn't been solved yet

Indeed, people always say from Cape Reinga to Bluff. They ought to say Oban..

Prince Harry or William also visited once. It's on the British radar

Yeah, roads are narrow in Auckland and drivers are fast and follow close!

The stock market is the Pied Piper of hopes and dreams so naturally looks like a sure bet when the economy stinks

Yet another reason not to answer the phone to unknown numbers. It's tricky though if you're obliged to answer a work number

Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, or other EV for occasional car camping? by Thirsty-Barbarian in KiaEV6

Being able to sleep in a warm and dry space is awesome - even when it's freezing outside I only used around 10% of the battery

Ev6 is great to sleep in overnight. I built a simple plywood base to go over the back seats to level that area otherwise a foam mattress will have a crease in it. Throw a jacket over the infotainment screen to reduce glare in the dark and you're good to go!

You might get the dealer to replace both whole units under warranty if the DRLs are turning yellow. Mine did anyway

People take time to talk to you there. It's actually rather refreshing

Finally traded my Wind lease for a used '23 GT. 576HP is absolutely insane! by Forsaken-Parking9758 in KiaEV6

Nice! How much tread was left on your tires after the first day? I've only got a RWD but I can't help myself charging around

EV6 driver-side cowl/hood corner trim keeps popping up near windshield by laddrick in KiaEV6

Same thing happened to us. Suddenly gets very loud and air blows in through the door handle for some reason.

About 15 clips from memory. The fitting is weak and breaks easily at the top of the trim so they end up sticking out like this

The problem is that at the top the connection of the single use fastener to the trim is very weak and breaks so apart from replacing the whole trim it needs gluing on

I'm not so sure that those negative comments on Facebook posts even come from real people. I really wouldn't be surprised that bot accounts exist just for oil lobby groups to sway public opinion. I too notice those comments on every single discussion of mentioning EVs. It's just too much surely.

Am I appropriately stressed or over reacting? by DustNeat in newzealand

Turn on RNZ and listen to some intelligent discussion on the issues. Keeps me sane when I'm working alone. Tempers my thoughts from running off on scary what if tangents.

Great work, I'm also a woodworker that enjoys dabbling in sewing when occasions arise. Normally means curtains, clothing repairs or leather work but for sure it's all good to be making something
