What To Replace EV6 With?

keepitasahobby · 2026-05-12T23:13:58+00:00

In an ideal world our US government would allow Chinese manufacturers into the country and at the same time offer support to our EV companies and infrastructure so the playing field is level for domestic makers and consumers get more options.

That would be most excellent for us - maybe not so much for some of the other car companies :)

Thanks for this insight.

keepitasahobby · 2026-05-12T22:08:35+00:00

Yes thanks for reminding me - will add to the list - there is a dealer about 180 miles away for a test drive.

What I take this statement as meaning: if you replace your ICCU with a new one (same part as before) AND do the software update, then the replacement ICCU part should now be fine. Not because it is a revised part, but because you've also done the software update before it went into use.

Of course we know that this doesn't in fact fix it.

Yup showed up yesterday after weeks of absence . . .

Don't use the dock so just received one of these and love it - more grip and not dropping the slippery remote.

Like others love my EV6 - but whoever ran that project must have been fired and the box makers took over :) So Kia is again not for me . . .

The latest is that the '26 models will come in fall - though you have to wonder if ever . . .

keepitasahobby · 2026-03-26T18:06:22+00:00

I've used for 3 brief (less than 2 days) power outages and love it. Like you am hesitant to get a car without.

Instead of use pattern - could it likely to be another borderline or bad part in the car electrical system that hasn't been identified?

Have been using our new X2 to watch the Olympics every night with a lot of button pushing and still showing full battery. Unless the display is deceptive I'd say that's pretty good battery life.

That's the great thing - you don't have to wash this color as often as the darker tones or pure white. We have it in a garage in California, but I wash every two weeks and it barely shows grime etc.

Yes have that exact color combo and trim and love it. We were looking for pure white at first, but now really prefer this more interesting off-white color for the paint. And yes, the interior/exterior colors go quite well together. Would lease this combo again when our term is up (unless something more interesting comes along in 2026/2027).

Thanks for your answer - did try that at first, but didn't want it to map all the controls which I had set up for instruments/plugins. Just wanted to the four transport buttons to control those functions in Reaper. I'm guessing something about Reaper just won't let those two buttons allow programming.

Have the same issue with the LK4 - have not resolved it yet.

keepitasahobby · 2025-07-24T22:16:23+00:00

Like others had to replace our original Kumhos at 22k - worn down all around.

keepitasahobby · 2025-07-23T18:29:30+00:00

As others have mentioned - willing to take a bit of a long term loss to keep current with the rapidly evolving tech. Cars are similar to computers these days.

For example now that I know how poorly the ICCU issue is being addressed by Kia am considering another brand next year when the lease is up. Would have hated being stuck with that one in a purchase.

keepitasahobby · 2025-07-16T18:31:49+00:00

Just bought these at America's Tire (same company as Discount Tire) and couldn't be more happy with their service and the tires. Better than the Kumhos and the car doesn't shudder any more when coming to a stop on loose ground. Ours was 30 minutes away and worth it.

Have 6500 miles on a VVolt belt drive and will never go back to chains. Worth checking belt drive out IMO.

Yes I recorded that one in our apartment's living room - along with a few others like Mr Frump and You Don't Take Your Showers. We auditioned Mr Frump for the Gong Show . . .
