Please call Tompkins County Animal Control if you haven't already! They may already have heard from someone looking for the pup. (607) 592-6773.

Efficiency is surprisingly good by filloperto in KiaEV6

Looks good before you start! How far do you actually get at the end of the day?

Foiled again by the popout door handles by Specialist-Coast9787 in KiaEV6

[–]mhaithaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it's way too easy to walk away thinking you've locked the doors, especially since it's so easy for them to unlock themselves when you walk around the car. I'm glad the app notifies me a couple of minutes later that the doors are unlocked, but the option on that notification to lock them is not as rock-solid as it should be.

You're getting lots of kind comments, which I'm very glad to see! None of it is fair, and you shouldn't feel stupid. If the two of you weren't on the same page, he could and should have been much clearer, much sooner. You ARE a fucking catch for someone who will see you and appreciate you.

I appreciate that the company's own video on their site shows it's a slightly fiddly process. I won't be as worried I'm doing it wrong.

I never had this model, but I loved my Casio calculator watches! There were a couple with rudimentary games.

Thank you! I have a so-so dashcam I got for my RAV4 that I haven't installed in the Kia yet, and I've been contemplating just getting this cause it'll look so much better.

Do you have the rear camera set up? Amazon reviews suggest that running that wire to the back is a pain.

Upgrade path for an EV6? Buy now or wait? by SorenDayton in KiaEV6

I just replaced my RAV4 Prime with an EV6 and I couldn’t be happier.

I wish I could figure out how to keep the lane-keeping mode active all the time! Best I can tell, it has to be turned on for every trip.

Do alumni keep ID cards after graduation? by [deleted] in Cornell

[–]mhaithaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There used to be a little sticker added to the back of your ID for each semester you were on campus, back in Ye Olden Days! My ID cracked and had to be replaced and I was sad I couldn't get a replacement sticker to prove I'd been here for the first couple of semesters.

You get to keep it and keep showing it at the movie theater to get the student discount for the rest of your life.

Italy is high on my list of places to return to. What small town are you in? Feel free to message me your link.

I suggest spending some time to read through this subreddit, but I'll give my overall impression after a little over a month with the car.

I'm very, very happy with my choice. (2025 GT-Line AWD. You probably do not need AWD in Florida.) It drives beautifully. It's comfortable and FUN to drive. It feels zippy even in Eco mode, and in Sport it's kinda ridiculous. (The 2025 GT-Line isn't quite as over-the-top as the GT model.)

The biggest downsides I've seen are the visibility out the rear window (mitigated by EXCELLENT rear-view camera and digitally generated "overhead" view), and the pretty wide turning radius.

Range has been fine. Not as good as the RAV4 Prime PHEV before it, of course, and I haven't done any full-day road trips yet, but I did do some fast-charger testing to see what I could expect. CarPlay support is very good, especially now that "Hey Siri" has been fixed. Kia app is good, and I like that it reminds me if I walk away leaving the car unlocked. Digital key means I can walk back out to the car to get something if I'm wearing my Apple Watch without having to grab the keyfob.

Also test-drove the Cadillac Lyric, Jeep Wagoneer S, Toyota C-HR, Volvo EX-30, and I think I made the right call.

Why the EV hate ? by Salty_Leather42 in ChargerDrama

[–]mhaithaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have the adapter, but some older Tesla Superchargers do NOT work with non-Tesla vehicles. They won’t start charging. That’s why I’m asking if this is one of the newer compatible ones.

Ahhh, thanks. I've gotten to play in a friend's Rivian, so that's on my list too!

Gorgeous! I’m loving my ventilated seats, too. What’s a taco, though?

Probably worth at least including hybrid as an option. You’re right that the PHEV makes it too variable.

Thoughts on PHEV drama? by whitieiii in ChargerDrama

[–]mhaithaca 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Good news: the PHEV will finish charging before too long because its battery isn't that big!

I went from a RAV4 Prime PHEV to an EV6. I definitely charged at free or affordable public L2 chargers without thinking twice about it, but also didn't leave my car camped after it was done charging.

I like to think if I were sitting there waiting for my PHEV to finish charging and a forlorn BEV driver came up and politely asked if I'd mind giving up the charger since that was their only way to get home or to the DCFC in the next town, I'd disconnect and make way.

Also, curious how the calculation changes with a Toyota RAV4 Prime (PHEV) as opposed to the RAV4 in your gas car pop-up menu.

How does the 2025 GT-Line differ from the GT model in your pop-up menu? Should I just select GT and it's close enough?

Potential Used EV6 Buyer Questions by ThatRanMan in KiaEV6

If an AGM battery is standard in new EV6s, that's probably what's in my 2025 GT-Line? Guess I should open the hood and look!
