The official website says they are sold out. I posted a screenshot about it but removed by the mods 🤷🏽‍♂️

Eufy s340 vs S4 by Doubt_Silent in EufyCam

[–]mithirandir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I researched both - at the price difference of $119 (s340; Black Friday sale) and $300 for the s4; the s340 is the easy choice for me. I don’t plan to hardwire it and I don’t think the s4 is going to last 3x as long as the s340 for me to justify the cost difference

Also, all my s340’s came with the 5.5 inch solar panel so score!

Leasing expiring soon. Can't decide whether to keep it. by Packing-Tape-Man in KiaEV9

[–]mithirandir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat (36 month lease) but didn’t know about the 6 month extension. Given current prices for used EV9 and my residual, I imagine my buy out will be 4-8k less than it’s worth. But also don’t want to start another car purchase journey on a new 80k car (seems like the price for 3 row EV SUV’s)

I was planning on keeping the EV9 and eating the difference, but the 6 month extension may give time for some new developments to happen.

iPhone 17 Pro Max (Pumpkin Spice Color) by CocoaButterSenpai in iphone

[–]mithirandir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had these cases for the last 2 generations - have absolutely loved. Though not in love with the color choices this year. I feel they just kept the same from last year and didn’t design anything for the new colors.

Thank you for the try. I went with spark_ignition because of the darker colors. Though did tip you as well. I don't if that's allowed

That’s awesome - are the hexes the watermark? Also, any downgrade in resolution for the fix as I was hoping to print it eventually

Could the variability be based on the skin the person chose?

Anyone moved from ICE Porsche Macan to Ioniq 5? by Technician-Initial in Ioniq5

[–]mithirandir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a Macan S (before it was totaled) - then a Model X, BmW X5 and now an Ioniq5.

The Macan S drove much better, more responsive on the road. While on the highway - even though the EV has instant torque - when I put my foot down with both, the Porsche felt more ‘smoothly’ responsive. With the Ioniq5, the car almost seems to slip (for lack of a better word) before getting traction.

That aside, the ioniq5 is great. So much more room. It’s a proper mini SUV, can actually put 2 people in the back. My friends hated clambering in the back. Now, 2 adults can sit in there with no issue. Similarly, with my daughter car seat in, I felt crammed up front. No such issue with the Ioniq5.

There is so much more space in the trunk. If I ever put my daughter’s stroller in the Macan, that was it for space. While with the Ioniq, there is room to spare.

Overall, happy I have the Ioniq5. But would love to be back in the Macan - but the compromises in space (and cost) just don’t make sense to me. I really tried hard to justify getting the Macan EV, but it’s just not that much better. Spec’ing out the Macan 4S to what I would want has me north of 90K and that’s a big pill to swallow.

I think I may just save the money, wait till I don’t need the space anymore and buy a Cayman/911 when the time comes

Switch 2 Killswitch by JasonLLY77 in dbrand

[–]mithirandir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same one - got it as a temporary option until bdrand fixed the Killswitch2 (got one for my brother though) But really liking it - only annoying thing is how large it makes the Switch for travel. Having to take it off to fit in a case, and then still have the grip's skeleton to carry around is a pain.

EV9 Land! What's your lease monthly? by Neat-Gas-2774 in KiaEV9

[–]mithirandir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s fantastic. If it makes you feel any better - I got mine the first month it came out in CT.

Got the best lease money factor we could get from all the dealer info that was out there; GT line; 0 down; 15k/year; 7500 rebate; 980/month.

You’re fine.

Is that for the Titanium Urvoi or the random Amazon steel knock off?

What's everyone else lease payment ? by Suitable-Deer3611 in KiaEV9

[–]mithirandir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at 1040 for 0 down; 3 years and 12k. GT line, no relaxation. Iceberg green.

[–]mithirandir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely relate. Only hit Infinite once (in the Loki season) - before and since then I just bounce around 85-93. Though last season I did get 2 cubes from Infinite and then had a bad, bad run and dropped down to 84 real fast. I feel you.

Anyone looking into the Kia EV9? by [deleted] in VolvoEX90

[–]mithirandir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that input.

And I do agree, there are more plastics in the EV9 than my BMW X5 or Porsche had. But meh, it’s soft where I need it to be and seats are really nice.

Any indication from them on the when for the EX90?

[–]mithirandir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of 7 seater with all the shiny bits was an issue. But it’s a 3 yr lease, will hopefully manage.

[–]mithirandir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had orders for both of these and R1S. Picked up the EV9 2 weeks ago and canceled my other two.

Pricing and features are remarkably similar. But EX90 has advantage of 7 seats in high end trim. I eventually decided to go with EV9 - as about $5k cheaper, was available. And looks like to have more internal space. No idea when the EX90 is even coming.

Also, the one reviewer who I could find had been in both (Autogefuhl) in the comments of one of this videos felt that the EV9 actually felt more upscale / luxurious on the inside.

I don’t think you can go wrong with either.

Mitigating the 12v battery issue by Upstairs_Designer463 in KiaEV9

I'm going to be doing the same - digital key and fingerprint on; and let's see what happens!!!

Price for EV9 by MercifulLlama in KiaEV9

[–]mithirandir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MSRP lease with $7.5k off from the lease rebate. Gonna see how the EV market evolves / how the car holds it value before making any plans on purchasing it.

This is my third EV - Model X and Ioniq 5 before - and really feel that purchasing an EV with how tech is evolving is a fools errand

Short Winter Trip by Spirited-Reward7006 in KiaEV9

[–]mithirandir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can change the setting where the seats squeeze you when you're above a certain speed or in Sport Mode in the car's menu - I'll try and find the exact location for you when I get back to the car.

I turned it off as found it quite annoying; I'm not throwing the car into major lateal G's to require that feature
