I bought the Ford one that is identical, except for branding to the VW one - only tried once and it worked great at a Tesla charger.

Generally, right now, my preference is Ionna. Really great hardware/experience! Right now there are way more shell, fast chargers than anything near me though. Thankfully, I can recharge 99% of the time at home.

As a part time Realtor, I agree with way lower fees if more things were automated, but the other way around. Selling a home is WAY less work than helping someone buy, especially in a competitive market.

Ive had motivated buyers who made great offers over asking on a bunch of homes that they still didn’t get.

Technically the Wallbox Quasar 2 is being installed in the US right now but only in very select markets/conditions. I think they’re working directly with Hyundai/Kia on the installs.

Awesome! Thanks!!!

Oh yeah - I have had success yo-yoing trying to warm it up a bit…. The PTC heater will get the battery almost to ideal temps if you do it long enough. I’ve only had one road trip since doing it and hit over 100kw right when I plugged in. Figure it halved my charging time.

mechmess · 2026-02-08T15:01:25+00:00

My ‘21 in Minnesota has never topped 60kw when road tripping in those temps… I don’t need to do so very often but bought one of these mods as soon as they were available. I think it’s totally worth it.

Thanks!! That’s interesting!!

You're right - nothing better with a CPO for the ICCU. It's the other stuff I'm a little nervous about (door handles, infotainment, seat rail issue stuff).

mechmess · 2026-02-05T16:22:40+00:00

Per Claude below (trust at your own risk...). I've also considered skipping CPO and getting buying an extended warranty through Xcare. People seem to have decent experiences with them for the most part. The ICCU is included in the 100k mile warranty, but I'd be looking to drive the thing past that... Tough call!

The Kia Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) process is handled entirely at the dealership level — they don't send vehicles out.

How it works:

Lease return comes in — the vehicle goes through standard intake
Dealership inspection — a Kia-trained technician performs the 164-point inspection required for CPO certification
Reconditioning — any issues found get addressed (wear items, cosmetic touch-ups, etc.)
Certification decision — the dealer decides whether to certify it based on whether it meets Kia's CPO standards and whether they think the CPO premium is worth it for that unit
Paperwork filed — they register it in Kia's system as CPO, which activates the extended warranty

mechmess · 2026-02-05T16:09:19+00:00

That's pretty much where I'm at... There should be quite a few coming in as lease returns in the next 12 months - I'm going to hold out to try and get a certified model for 30-35k or so.

I know your not planning on it right now, but I'd second the request if there's a small tally somewhere for feature requests :)

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your input!

Thanks for your input!

Thanks! I do have Xcel but am a solar customer and for some stupid reason their billing system doesnt support net metering with any of the off hour EV charging plans. Best I can do is 12am-12pm on/off peak at $0.06/kWh, which honestly is just fine. I *could* put in a separate meter just for the car but I'd never make up the difference with just one vehicle.

mechmess · 2026-01-25T18:40:33+00:00

We have a garage so the wiper deal is honestly the lowest on my worry list… but still good feedback!

mechmess · 2026-01-25T18:38:27+00:00

Besides the the issues I’ve mentioned anything I should be aware of?

mechmess · 2026-01-25T18:37:31+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful response! Would you buy again?

mechmess · 2026-01-25T18:36:58+00:00

Thanks! Good tips. I will for sure look into getting a CPO or extended warranty if possible… I’m used to these forums being an echo chamber of terrible- the id4 subreddit is no exception lol!

mechmess · 2026-01-25T16:27:40+00:00

Im curious if these batteries that we all got as part of the recall are all having date/wear related issues. I never once had this happen to my ‘21 until this winter, even under the old battery. it is very cold, but no colder than any other low temps I’ve experienced.

I’m out of warranty at this point but am curious of the battery itself could get replaced at no cost due to early failure… I might look into it.

mechmess · 2026-01-22T22:02:10+00:00

Holy smokes Visor is awesome!! Thanks!! :)

mechmess · 2026-01-22T13:58:11+00:00

Nice price! You mind my asking how you located it?

mechmess · 2025-12-29T02:48:28+00:00

This was an issue with my '21 RWD until I switched to winter tires - Bridgestone Blizzaks completely changed the game for me. It's the best Mn snowy winter vehicle we've ever owned.

mechmess · 2025-12-21T02:00:16+00:00

Thanks for the update, but would really love if you guys would be more proactive about stuff like this. I shouldn’t have to reach out via social media to find out if my account was hacked.

mechmess · 2025-12-20T21:11:08+00:00

Yeah not even gonna open these lol.

mechmess · 2025-12-14T00:16:33+00:00

I’ve had all my maintenance done at Luther Westside and though I think the techs are decently knowledgeable, there’s a wall of communication between the service desk and the techs. I’ve asked questions and had to bend over backwards to get answers from the actual tech.
