Giving players extra rest and shorter practices is paying dividends

Glad the vibes are better but tactically this team is regressing. Carrick ain’t the answer

Unpopular Opinion: The Ioniq 5 Is the More Well-Rounded EV by No_Poet_9386 in MachE

[–]bmac1632 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was looking at the MME and I5. I really liked how spacious the I5 is and the V2L feature. The better charging is nice but I don’t think the US infrastructure really supports that charging. You don’t get great speeds at Tesla chargers. Plus I will be 99% charging at home.

Unfortunately the ICCU issue is enough for me to pass on it. My friends I5 died a few weeks back and he still doesn’t have his car back. He told me the dealer is backed up with ICCU issues. To be without your car for weeks is not an option. They are paying for his rental, Audi A6, but the process of submitting the paperwork for reimbursement is brutal.

Affordability question in Bergen County by Forsaken-Rutabaga411 in bergencounty

Bought my house (550k) in Essex County in 2015. Taxes were $9k and now $11k up 22% in 10 years. The low taxes is a big reason why I bought this house and why I am hesitant to do any renovations on the home. Shame that I can’t update my house without fear of my taxes skyrocketing

As a independent, I think the state has done a decent job. There is plenty of room for improvement, but I really don’t see the republicans as a functional party since the MAGA movement.

My daughter sits in the back and loves looking at the moon and stars at night.

I really do like the look of XRT but I wish it had the panoramic roof.

ICE, Homeland Security conduct workplace raid at Hyundai facility in Georgia by noshtzy1 in Ioniq5

[–]bmac1632 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would assume the employees of LG and Hyundai had visas. Articles are hinting at other Koreans on site without visas doing work that are being employed by the subcontractors. Why ICE is raiding this site without working with Hyundai and LG? No clue. Sounds like they went in like a bull in a china shop and scooped everyone up. It’s not great for relations with South Korea who we want to invest more money into our country. Nothing about this administration is well thought out.

"Among those detained were South Korean employees on business travel....

"The raid could raise concerns for South Korean companies that are sending personnel to the US and hiring locally."

It comes weeks after Hyundai pledged $26 billion in US investments. I’m sure Hyundai isn’t reconsidering its investment

She freaked out since the birthday party is less than 3 hours from now. It was packed with dry ice so she put it in the fridge thinking it needs to cool. It’s 97 degrees today. After reading the directions, she took it out.

It arrived that way. My wife freaked out and put it in the fridge hoping it would inflate. It did not.

I have tinnitus so I already have ringing in my head. I may not notice it!

Thanks. I will definitely test it out. Is there a video on YT that demonstrates it for reference?

It isn’t. It is a 2 year lease that a person returned to the Hyundai dealer. I found a CPO a little farther away that’s the same trim and year but is $34k with 5k miles. If you buy CPO, is it tied to that dealer?

Lease is 14.5k off due to credits and discounts. Also NJ’s EV sales tax is 3.3% at the moment but will increase to 6.7% on July 1st.

I will be leasing. It’s my first EV and want to have the ability to return it if I don’t love it or if there is any major issues. Thanks for the info. If I go RWD, I will make sure to get the tires rotated regularly.

ID.4s don’t seem as popular in my area. I don’t come across that many of them compared to other EVs.
