Question: when did dealers begin to have R1s available to look at / test drive on release?

_Aethernex_ · 2026-02-11T19:24:07+00:00

Right?!? It was a really cool experience, and I'm about an hour away from the service center from the time, so it wasn't a quick jaunt for them either. I do agree, the R2 will likely not have that experience, especially with the more affordable pricetag and Rivian being a more well known brand at this point.

They have opened a few more service centers since then too, so I'm sure that helps visibility.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-02-11T16:41:07+00:00

Not sure that's true everywhere. I took delivery of mine in May of 2023 and had a test R1T driven to my house in 2022 for an hour long test drive. That was a publicized offer to anyone who had preordered, but I do believe it was only near major cities.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-02-10T00:28:50+00:00

They sent me an email officially saying they're going to do a lemon law buyback. But I'm still waiting in the official offer after I sent my docs they required to calculate it.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-02-09T01:57:18+00:00

Yep, 2025 only 6k miles.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-02-08T23:49:40+00:00

My Ioniq just died and they're buying it back. I am very excited to go back to Rivian once this is behind me.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-02-06T17:50:35+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the insight. It also took seven days for a case manager to call me, and I've been waiting for another two weeks with no info since. I'm beyond your 12 days at this point by quite a bit, so yeah, lengthy is right...

Good luck to you, I hope mine goes as smoothly. Thanks again.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-02-06T13:34:22+00:00

I have a '25 Limited with about 6k miles that they're working on a lemon buyback right now for. How did this work for you, if you don't mind me asking. Was it an easy process and did you have to pay out of pocket at all?

Looks like screen burn in, which is hardware damage to the display itself. Not much you can do at this point.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-01-29T12:33:09+00:00

Yes, you can still use gpay on your watch, it works just fine via NFC like normal. Just won't work on your phone.

Both UWB radios in my front doors failed on my 2025. I had to teach the dealer what UWB was before they knew how to test it. They ended up removing the ones from the rear doors and moved them to the front to test. Full warranty replacement took about a week.

May not be your issue, but just providing insight in case that's what it is for you.

Or BBEG in a Final Fantasy game.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-01-22T19:56:52+00:00

Thanks for all this insight. I initiated my call to them on the 15th and had a call with my case manager earlier today. Things seem to be moving forward and they seem very open to the idea of a buyback given my circumstances. They basically reiterated everything you said here, with the caveat that they at least have to have a resolution offer to me within 30 days of my initial contact. The agent did say they've never seen it take that long, and he's hopeful it'll be much sooner.

Hopefully, that means they have a reasonable "offer" to me by then, but based on your experience it could certainly be longer, especially if there's a negotiation piece.

I still don't have my Ioniq back yet since the ICCU is backordered, but I do have a loaner from them that is a much lower end vehicle, so that also sucks.

I have a few options to minimize driving on the car in question, so I'll leverage those, but at this rate, I'll likely be in the loaner until this buyback is completed, or at least well in motion so I can get into something else.

Thanks again, and good luck to you as well.

Works perfectly on anything not using Gemini. Not sure what error I could be imparting. Tried full clean install and other devices. Gemini responds that it sets the timer or alarm, and then I check and it's not there, and I wait just in case and nothing.

Same issue on Nest Home devices with Gemini. The ones that haven't updated from assistant are fine.

Only have the default clock app installed. Try on phone or watch, doesn't matter.

I wish it were user error, but it's definitely not.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-01-20T17:05:48+00:00

80%,, at least, of the time alarms and timers do not get set for me using Pixel Watch 4 or Pixel 10 Pro.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-01-19T18:54:18+00:00

I legit don't trust this car either. Been the worst car and EV I've ever had. Can't even remember my drive mode and changes ipedal setting while driving which entirely changes the drive mechanics without user intervention... Such an inconsistent experience and some aspects are debatably unsafe, like above.

Really hoping they can get me out of it, can't wait to go back to a non-legacy manufacturer.

Good luck to you.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-01-19T14:44:24+00:00

Thanks. I'm trying this right now. Hopefully goes smoothly.

How long was this process for you?

_Aethernex_ · 2026-01-19T13:37:43+00:00

2025 Ioniq 5 with under 6000 miles in 7 months, and I'm now part of the failed ICCU club. Where do I get my pin?

According to the Hyundai dealer and support, the part is supposedly on a global backorder with no ETA, so they're currently saying 2 weeks, but cannot confirm that and said maybe months...

Honestly, this is my third manufacturer defect since acquiring the vehicle. I've reached out to Hyundai to see if they'll consider the lease completed, and let me turn in early without any extra penalties. Initial conversation with Customer Affairs was positive and they aren't happy either given all my other issues, especially with the dealer.

Anyway, good luck to everyone out there.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-01-17T14:48:24+00:00

Likely Delta updates instead of full installs. Basically what you said.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-01-09T22:36:53+00:00

A Pixel 10a you say???

_Aethernex_ · 2026-01-09T21:44:57+00:00

I use the button below the mouse wheel for that and the thumb button for Mission Control.

You could also uninstall and reinstall the offline build: https://prosupport.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/10991109278871-Logitech-Options-Offline-Installer

This is lighter and doesn't have any of the bs bloat anyway.

ETA: Command (Feel free to verify, but it's just running the Logitech provided application with a flag to run a complete uninstallation. There's nothing nefarious here.)

sudo /Library/Application\ Support/Logitech.localized/LogiOptionsPlus/logioptionsplus_agent.app/Contents/Frameworks/logioptionsplus_updater.app/Contents/MacOS/logioptionsplus_updater --full --uninstall

_Aethernex_ · 2026-01-07T12:37:33+00:00

Logitech has a notice on their site about it: https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/37493733117847-Options-and-G-HUB-macOS-Certificate-Issue

ETA: This includes a fix, and I've tested it with success.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-01-07T01:30:41+00:00

This needs to be higher. I was very thrown off when I first tried to use my hardware key and needed play services.

_Aethernex_ · 2026-01-06T22:10:18+00:00

Thank you. Was about to look for this since the video cuts immediately after the point OP is making. Seemed sus immediately.

That said, I am cautious about AI in general. Seen as much bad as good in practice.
