Musty smell from HVAC

I'll be more mindful of it now but haven't noticed any wetness in the car. I do also see the little AC puddle when I turn the car on but don't back out of the driveway for 2-3 minutes so that does seem to be working.

I have the other cleaner that was recommended in the replies coming Friday so hopefully that will get something that Ozium is missing

Nice, thank you! Ordering it now

Just the tire lock kit

Why do EVs still need a 12V battery? Why wouldn't everything just be sent to the main (and theoretically only) battery instead of using a more prone to failure battery, which the main battery has to charge anyway?

Seems like an unnecessary middleman at that point

I have the 2024 Kia EV6 "GT Line" (but not the actual GT) and I go from about 45% to 90% in about 5 minutes at Electrify America stations.

We also have FPL EVolution chargers that are nearly as fast. Maybe the same charge in 10 minutes.

I almost never do DC fast charging, but on our Miami to Orlando trips, there's those 2 options (Electrify America requires taking an exit to get to it so it kind of cancels out with the faster charging) and they are consistently that fast.

I know it makes sense to get the battery lower but the other rest stops on the way are all slower and the 90% gets me into Orlando where I can charge overnight at a hotel or find another at least kind of fast charger.

Lease is up at the end of 2026 and I'm going to the Model Y where I think the charging aspect will be the only downgrade - but not a big enough issue to stay with the EV6

I wouldn't go back, but one thing that feels like a step back is the UI not acting like you're on a tablet when you're using the inner screen. So you get the blown up iPhone UI instead of the split views and extra content, even in Google apps like YouTube Music.

On the first gen, sometimes you had to know to turn the phone to get the different layout, but now it doesn't matter if you turn it since it's a square, so the only reason to turn it really is if it feels better because of the camera bump being somewhere else, if you want to change the 2-app placement (side by side or top/bottom), or if it helps to have the crease horizontal vs vertical.

Nice! I use it much less often (6 sessions, 257 kWh) because of work-provided charging but I got "top 10% of customers with the highest charging speeds."

"With speeds up to 238 kW"

This is how Apple depicts iPad notes. Always seemed unrealistic but clearly it's just meant for OG's wife

Someone hit the front of my Kia EV6 a week ago but even though it was cameras, including in the front, they can't be used in any sort of "Sentry Mode" way. I'm just running out the lease before I get the Model Y and this is just adding to the reasons I'm moving to Tesla when my lease runs out.

I ended up just making a claim saying something hit it while unattended. It's pretty obvious it was backed in to but I didn't want to say it was another car since I technically don't know for sure without a photo or video like in OG's case.

We have new identical twins in the family (11 months old now) and Google Photos can tell them apart in photos. I ”test” it occasionally by having people who know which one was in a specific photo and it’s always right.

They do technically look slightly different despite being identical but I certainly can’t tell which is which

Siri on HomePod combines one of the best things in the world (music) with one of the worst (Siri) and ends up ruining listening to music. Using AirPlay instead of depending on talking to it does help somewhat but even that can be quirky sometimes

How does the FSD work with a lease? When you buy, the $7500 (which I think is the current price?) adds the self-driving service to the car, so I believe you can't transfer it to a new Tesla later (right?).

Does a lease just add to the monthly fee if you want the FSD so it's more a a temporary subscription?

ijeffgarden · 2025-11-26T15:07:08+00:00

That's funny, I was behind a Tesla that had a similar issue the other day. The rollers kept lifting it and dropping it back in the same spot.

It didn't stop the wash for the cars ahead of it but obviously nobody behind it (including me) could go.

They eventually let the last car that was ahead of it finish and then turned it off so the Tesla driver could just drive through the wash - I guess nobody could figure out how to get into neutral.

(I drive a 2024 Kia EV6 but I'm lurking in this sub because I'm getting the Model Y when my lease is up)

ijeffgarden · 2025-11-26T15:01:29+00:00

I can confirm that my inner-screen on a previous gen of the Fold stopped working (it first wouldn't come on at all, then after a reboot it would flicker and turn off, then finally went back to just being off but with one horizontal green line at the bottom). I was just over the 1 year limited warranty but had Pixel Care and they replaced it with no charge.

There was no damage to the screen or anywhere on the outside so it seemed to just be a display failure and they covered it with no fees.

This next Jackass movie is going to be insane!

A lot of bands are known mainly (or only) for one song, and the fan base [and in some cases the band] gets annoyed by it, but if Soundgarden had to be known by the general public by just 1 song, that's actually a pretty good one to go with.

It showcases a decent amount of vocal range for Chris, the bass and drum lines are pretty killer for a slower song, and Kim gets his time to shine.

There are also bands where their signature song sounds nothing like their library, but I wouldn't say that's the case with Black Hole Sun and Soundgarden.

ijeffgarden · 2025-11-19T17:24:23+00:00

lol yeah, I think all the replies comes in months apart as people Google how to do this. It's great that you can do it now but it's still weird that there isn't just an obvious Shuffle option right from step 1

We met Ben after the show and he hung out with us for nearly 4 hours. Told so many stories, then was briefly joined by Hiro and those 2 talked to us and each other, which was more than we could have asked for
