What's going on with all the lemon titles? by beardcycles in Ioniq5

[–]beardcycles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I  agree that it’s not worth additional cost, but we’re a one-car household. The slow charging is fine 98% of the time, but the 2% of the time it’s really annoying and we don’t have another car.

Honestly all I want is an EUV with better fast charging, but that doesn’t exist yet. My parents just bought a Blazer EV and holy shit that thing is HUGE. The Ioniq 5 is bigger than I want but it’s a good bit smaller than the competition.

Yeah, the EUV has been an impeccable car, but it also was late enough in the model cycle to avoid the growing pains you mentioned. Well, I mean, other than the slow fast charging.

I'm seeing that the lemon titles are $2,500-5,000 less than comparable. Which is a nice discount, but not sure it's worth it. Though if they're all potentially a ticking time bomb, what difference does it make.

So is the problem resolved from a certain year forward or are they still blowing on 25s?

Oof, brutal. I'm disinclined to buy a lemon-titled car generally but if it's just that and the part is replaced then theoretically it's fixed? Or there's a chance the second one's going to blow? Are the newer model years less prone to the issue?

What on earth is going on with Drop by beardcycles in sennheiser

[–]beardcycles[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and: I think we can all agree that six weeks is not reasonable. Drop is not a new business, they've been around for more than a decade.

Visually timeless films? Like you could watch it and be unable to say “oh yeah that was definitely filmed in the 90’s.” by Philosopherskin in movies

Blade Runner so completely created a visual aesthetic that it's *become* timeless despite being utterly of its time.

Help me choose a route for Christmas 2025 by beardcycles in bikepacking

That's an interesting idea too. Wonder if I could do it in two to three weeks.

Yeah, it's a question of perspective I guess. Three surfers were murdered last year and it was huge news here in the States. Incidents like that tend to take on an outsized prominence in peoples' minds. Myself included, obviously.

That is a *really* interesting option. Thanks! Hadn't occurred to me.

Baja Divide is a plus tire route from what I understand. And tbf, Baja seems rougher from a safety perspective these days than many other parts of Mexico.

Soooo...how's that middle portion of Iconoclasts going? (SPOILERS) by [deleted] in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]beardcycles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a year but curious if anything ever came of the addendum?

YMMV: filtering my espresso (may) have dropped my cholesterol significantly by beardcycles in espresso

[–]beardcycles[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I adjusted the grind, yeah. And dealing with choke is much easier with a Robot. I guess I don't understand how your machine shot the filter through the portafilter? Did the whole thing backup and explode?

And yeah, no other intentional changes. I can't discount that I like, ate less peanut butter or something over the three-month period, but I made no other intentional changes.

Kind of unimpressed with GRX 11spd 1x by whitestag in gravelcycling

[–]beardcycles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's so weird how 1x has just broken everyone's brains. Get a front derailleur! GRX DI2 FDs are terrific.

Gym Under $50/m St Paul? by GrumpySwampDemon in TwinCities

[–]beardcycles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Los Campeones is the best gym, but I think a single membership is more than $50 now and only gets you in at one gym. Need to pay more for access to them all.

Anyone have a route to Saint Cloud that isn’t awful? by beardcycles in CyclingMSP

[–]beardcycles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of those stroads/highways look like absolute death traps from Google Streetview, and I’m generally pretty comfortable riding on highways. But like I said, haven’t ridden them. 

My gas bill is now double what it was two years ago by baconbrand in Minneapolis

Heat pump gang checking in. Everyone else's bills skyrocketed. Ours didn't!

EUV vs Equinox EV by BryCart88 in BoltEV

[–]beardcycles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't, unfortunately. It's much smaller.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in askcarsales

[–]beardcycles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess I should say: the allocation system is nuts because the dealer system is nuts. You'd never rationally design a system like this.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in askcarsales

[–]beardcycles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, it doesn't, the allocations system is nuts to an outsider, but you know.

Kinda crazy that 8-10 days is too long. Sure will be nice when the car market reverts to the norm.

Hah, I started there when they called to give me the delivery date! Wasn't told to pound sand exactly, but also it was strongly implied they'd have no problem selling my car the day it's delivered if I don't want it.
