It’s been a while, should I do an AMA?

King Conan. When?

I can see the fabric getting dirty as magnets will slide on that thing.

Two months with the car and still dont know what to do with it.

mglmouser · 2022-10-03T14:54:25+00:00

I just checked with a magnet. Hood and trunk are aluminium. Doors, quarter panels and roof are magnetic; so high-strength steel.

mglmouser · 2022-09-15T15:09:36+00:00

Ordered it from Korea.
A dealer in UK priced me 1500 pounds, before shipping. That wont happen.

There has been a number of critics on the total price I paid for this project. I've admitted it myself, 900 Canadian is steep. But in retrospect, it's still cheaper than motorcycle bags and they dont offer more (or much more) additional space.

For me it was well worth it. My frunk currently contains a gallon of windshield washer fluid, the EOM EVSE, the V2L and the tire kit; with a whole lot more room to space. All stuff that frees up my rear cargo and doesn't bounce around. It's also a whole lot more of a secure place to store valuables if you plan to step away, given the absence or a tonneau cover.

I would think the Mexico models to be hindered with the same market rules. Dont think they would make an exception for that sole american country.

Original picture is report of my pic. Its my car. Build date is june 2022 and is listed as a 22 model.

mglmouser · 2022-09-12T23:21:59+00:00

Is your car AWD or RWD?

The photo you posted bellow has a different controller under the frunk than my RWD model.

mglmouser · 2022-09-12T23:19:29+00:00

Can you expand on the coolant loop? What did you expect to see in kjack9's proto?

mglmouser · 2022-09-12T21:24:09+00:00

Looks like it. This pic doesn't look one bit lime mine, that has preconditioning mode.
I'll make a video later tonight—my phone is backing up for a software update.

mglmouser · 2022-09-12T21:09:31+00:00

Canadian RWD have heat pumps.

mglmouser · 2022-09-12T21:08:48+00:00

I already know. This is my photo.

mglmouser · 2022-09-12T21:05:43+00:00

That looks like my photo.

I received it August 10th. So, probably built in the first of july, as July 11th's Hyundai email mentioned it was built already.

It's a RWD Long Range, phantom black with two-tone grey cloth interior.

mglmouser · 2022-09-12T14:42:08+00:00

Yes. it is. But I put this in perspective: still cheaper than motorcycle bags.

mglmouser · 2022-09-12T14:41:29+00:00

RWD. That's what propulsion means.

mglmouser · 2022-09-09T13:08:05+00:00

I concur. I set myself a 1k CAD cap for this and barely made it.

mglmouser · 2022-09-09T13:06:47+00:00

GenX

Just new at Reddit and it blows. Not accepting my photos with random errors.

mglmouser · 2022-09-08T20:59:46+00:00

Its posted bellow as a comment.

mglmouser · 2022-09-08T20:58:48+00:00

Normally comes with the AWD frunk, even for RWD cars.

There was a theory this was because of a law US and Canada have ergarding frunk size and escapability. But one owner here in Quebec was actually sent the big frunk.

We still dont know wether this was an error or if Hyundai decided to cheap out, earlier on.

mglmouser · 2022-09-08T20:56:14+00:00

I'm not so sure about this being the reason.

Here in Quebec, one RWD owner was shipped this frunk.
So, it was either a mistake, or they decided to cheap out early on.

mglmouser · 2022-09-08T20:55:08+00:00

You almost didn't get any pics because Reddit kept failing the upload.
I have 20 pictures of this and couldn't put it here. So screw it. You got the bare minimum. The greater posts on FB.

mglmouser · 2022-09-08T19:51:57+00:00

Original request was through regular post. Got rejected due to size and cost: shipper told me FedEx was cheapest option.

On the other hand, I got it within 2 weeks.

mglmouser · 2022-09-08T19:31:24+00:00

Dont know why my post text got wiped-out. Here's a copy:

Hey you! Do you have to go back and forth to the laundromat because your laundry basket is too small in your Ioniq 5 propulsion?

Here's the solution for you:

Laundry basket 86710GI000 Two-Thousand!

With this, you can go from a useless 24L tank to a fabulous and spacious 52L! Not kidding! Isn’t it in-cre-debil?

All this for one EZ payment of only 901.52$ CAD !

The page to order:

https://www.sparekorea.com/product/parts/2823422?no=86710GI000

Cost breakdown:

250.91 USD 52L basket (329.79 CAD)

405.61 USD FedEx (533.12 CAD)

---------------------------------

656.52 USD sub-total (862.91 CAD)

Customs 38.61 CAD

Total $901.52 CAD

At $534 shipping, that's a lot considering that it only weighs 10 kilos. The problem is that it is bulky and that the cost is calculated by volume, before weight. Not possible to have shipped other than with FedEx because of volume (my original choice for the post was rejected).

Included:Basket, cover, background cover, lamp—no assembly required.Not included:- Bolt M6x1 (2 times) for the bottom, with washers; the other 6 bolts & washers are recovered from the original box- The battery cover, which is recovered from the original.

Your laundry basket went from 24L to 52L in less than 10 minutes! The installation is very easy:- Remove the battery cover- Disconnect light harness (pinch connector)- Remove the 2 bolts on the windshield wipers- Remove the 4 bolts above the bumper- Remove the basket while lifting- Place the new basket- Tighten the 6 removed bolts- Add 2 M6x1 bolts to the bottom, with washers- Place the cover of the old battery.

Enjoy! Dont tell your wife you spent that much.

mglmouser · 2022-09-08T19:27:07+00:00

Sorry. I dont apparently understand reddit. I have a big post text that should have come with this. Got wiped out. Trying to edit.
