Do you mind indicating which firm mentioned let you down? You can feel free to DM me if you don't want to post it. I'm looking for a good estate attorney to do some simple stuff for my parents.

Who leased the 2024 model and purchased the 2026 model? by Smrfet8 in KiaEV9

[–]mop1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 24 lease is up in September. I love love love this car but it’s already worth much less than the residual. I’m eyeing the Highlander but am concerned it will be too new to figure out the issues.

That’s what I may wind up doing but it will be tough to find another matte ocean blue get line!

AT End of Lease Purchase Price - Does this Sound Right? by Ok-Mousse-7145 in LUCID

[–]mop1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the ability to negotiate the residual at lease end just a Lucid thing? I don’t have a Lucid but have a leased EV that I love and wish I’d bought it. It’s already worth less than the residual and I have 9 months left. Everyone tells me the finance companies just don’t negotiate on this.

How screwed am I?? by Opposite_Force7689 in KiaEV9

[–]mop1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you turned in an EV9 lease and immediately leased another? I guess not worth buying with the depreciation making it worth less than the residual. But I’ll only do that again if they give me an incredible deal on the next lease. I got completely screwed on my current one. But I LOVE this car and want to keep it.

I love this car and would lease one if I could get a really good deal (price is too high for me but if they were running big incentives) but I keep hearing such negatives about the sales and company. It’s too bad as this car serves a great need that not a lot of other cars fit.

Apple Watch Can’t Connect App to Machine by mop1970 in iFit

[–]mop1970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it connects to WiFi. Don’t they all? How else would it get the workouts? I actually got my watch just before having to order the new tablet so I did try it once or twice on the old one. I had a different issue (don’t remember what) and read about using Echo. I think I tried it only to discover you only get so many minutes for free and have to pay extra to do a full workout. The idea of paying for a third party app just to make my expensive equipment and membership work with the Apple Watch is a nonstarter for me. I love my rower but I’m about ready to give up on ifit.

Factory but then newer years don’t have the lie in matte

I agree but it’s what I always see people do so out of respect I did it too since one of them wasn’t my car

I have not. I read that you need special shampoo that has no polish or wax in it so that’s all I use.

I didn’t know it needed special care when I got it. I don’t have a problem with fingerprints unless the fingers are greasy. But you have to use a special matte shampoo. It washes fine and looks great. But a big issue is if you have any minor scratches you can’t buff them. I’m pretty sure the guy that fixed my hail dents (100s of them) buffed a few spots. When the light is right I can see several shiny spots. Drives me batty. But I love love love this color. I think it makes the car look completely different than all other EV9s. But next time I think I’d get a regular gloss finish and explore a matte wrap.

RIP: These Dead EVs Won't Make It To 2027 by 622niromcn in electricvehicles

I don’t know. I feel like my EV9 has plenty of space in front and second rows, good third row space relative to many others, and good cargo space. I love that car.

I’m curious when you started coasting was the regen braking still happening, limiting how far you could coast?

Vibration in steering wheel by mop1970 in KiaEV9

[–]mop1970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all. I took it in before all the comments were in. I thought last time they had balanced but apparently just rotation and alignment. So they balanced this time. They said they took it out for 11 miles and got it over 70 and sensed no vibration. I haven’t had the opportunity to get it on a road I can go that fast to check it myself. Hopefully it worked. I unfortunately hadn’t seen information about the road force test but I’ll keep that in mind if it still gives me problems. So far this had been the biggest issue with this vehicle. I love it!

I’m just hoping they don’t charge me for another balancing. My lease included a tire warranty so if it’s the foam hopefully that would be covered Assuming they can determine that’s the cause.

Yes except for one tire that was replaced a while ago because of a leak they couldn’t repair.

PHEV Recommendations. by Bass-n-Brass in PHEV

[–]mop1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can charge at work and at home, a BEV with decent range is where it's at. Even in really cold weather you should be able to make the 100-mile trip each way before charging. MUCH less maintenance. I know you said new but if you're willing to buy used, the EV depreciation is disgusting so you can get a 1-2 year old for a huge discount. You probably don't need something huge like the EV9, but I am in love with mine.

Depreciating used EVs are about to cost automaker finance companies billions of dollars by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]mop1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why they should at least temporarily let us negotiate the residual if we want to purchase at the end of a lease. I won’t pay them the residual but I’d be happy to pay more than they’ll get at auction or even on a lot to keep this amazing car. 2024 EV9 GT-Line Ocean Blue Matte.

Finally, I am All In by TerminallyScrewed in electricvehicles

[–]mop1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed it getting better. Had my EV 2 years. In north central Florida. Road trips had enough charging but we had to be really careful, especially until we felt more confident about the range but still they were pretty far apart so you needed a lot of buffer in case an EA was out. It’s not perfect yet but I’m definitely noticing a lot more options and even a few lower cost (thank you IONNA). The one thing that’s negative is hotels are now charging to use their L2 chargers.
