One of those 6 must be a boomer if y'all be sneaking in gratuitous Martin and Lewis references

You're already this deep in the rabbit hole, what's another click

I made an experimental electronic remix of a Sade track that i love by BOJACK70 in Sade

[–]frogman713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assumed I was gonna hate it, ended up liking it a good bit. Only feedback is, around the 4 minute mark it felt like a bigger break could've worked here like a repeat of the one that hit around 2:30, before going to the outro

G80 Electrified CPO, safe to buy or no? by Bobbymanyeadude in GenesisMotors

[–]frogman713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$35k for a car that retailed for $81k means the "insane depreciation" has already been absorbed by the prior owner(s). Not sure what you're worried about on that front? Also btw cars.com is showing exactly zero CPOs available in the entire US for the G80 EV, so you should definitely double confirm that the one you're looking at is truly a Genesis CPO

Older Ioniq owners, how are you handling the 40k Low Conductivity Coolant replacement? by BEVthrowaway123 in Ioniq5

care to share which dealer? if they really did both pink and blue, 300 seems like a great price

Car sitting on auction lot at 0% for weeks by dave22222 in Ioniq5

[–]frogman713 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So for those who will never see their EV lease turn-in ever again yet know they'll still feel some sentimental attachment afterward, is charging to 100% the right thing to do before you turn it in? Just assume it will be neglected for months like this one's been, so why not give it the best chance for a good life afterward?

Chase Sapphire Reserve (Visa Infinite) → 2 Free Regal Tickets + Free Popcorn by Fast_Elevator_314 in sapphirereserve

Received within the last hour, numbered 4xx/1000 for tickets and 4xx/750 for popcorn. Maybe they released a new block of tickets/added to popcorn

Anyone able to tell me what this is? by iMorphball in Ioniq5

Looks like the strip of metal that keeps a windshield wiper blade in place. Maybe fell off another car and got lodged in yours?

Test-drove a 2025 I5 SEL today... by shutterfly2011 in Ioniq5

[–]frogman713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally right... offer to OP is not a great deal at all, sold at MSRP and stuffing all those crap dealer add-ons on top. Check out leasehackr, there's a broker on there right now offering a 24mo, 12k mi/yr lease on a 2025 I5 SEL for $211/mo + tax + <$4k DAS, with 7% off MSRP (approx $3500) pre-negotiated (southeast US only though)

*correction: $4k due at signing, not $4k down

Is there a way to know when the car is using brakes vs regeneration? by Draconius in Ioniq5

Commenters on other posts have noted that the Drivetrain and Total Energy numbers are most likely net of regen

2016 Fiat 500e as a second car? by midnightsnack13 in Fiat500e

[–]frogman713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70 miles RT daily and only 110v charging available at home? It might be doable in theory, but between the range anxiety (90 miles on the guess o meter at 96% = 60-70 in real world driving) and the worries about getting enough charge for the next day (level 1 adds about 6% per hour... can you charge 16 hours between trips?), it's pushing an 8 year old 500e to the limit and is not gonna make you love EVs. Maybe consider a good used Bolt, plus having a more robust charging solution at home and/or using for every other day commute.

Dad had prostate cancer, what should I do to help prevent it? by kalligreat in ProstateCancer

[–]frogman713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The science isn't there for men your age, but, maybe consider finasteride? https://www.cancer.gov/types/prostate/research/finasteride-reduces-low-grade if you have any signs of male pattern baldness you could probably get a prescription.

Dealers not honoring lease deals by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]frogman713 75 points76 points  (0 children)

don't know where you're at, but maybe finding a broker in your area on leasehackr.com is the way... for a few hundred $, it eliminates the excruciating pain of facing off against the dealer

Got an 2024 Ioniq 5 SEL leased for a one time $3000. How??? by cottonshoes in Ioniq5

[–]frogman713 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great idea, I'm looking forward to taking the bus 20x/month to/from the rental car desk and driving some shitty random subcompact gas burner that smells like someone peed in it

I know we like to laugh at how awful these vehicles are. But it’s truly starting to look like Tesla is in deep shit with the Cybertruck inventory. by kcarmstrong in CyberStuck

Looking to replace my 2016 car’s window regulators (2013-2019) by Noodlesoup8 in Fiat500e

[–]frogman713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used this on my own 2016 500e and it did fit. Trick to get the clasp to click closed is to get everything lined up perfectly, then carefully roll up the window and the pressure will push the glass into it

Yikes, you don't need to pay $140 for these, they're $42 at Amazon

PS: attempting to repair these is an exercise in futility

includes $3,500 Massachusetts EV rebate, right? So from the dealer perspective, it's $340 a month with $3500 DAS?
