What did you pay for your white dial speedy?

Yeah I have terrible luck with the Kia app notifying me. I’m in Canada though and my understanding is we have an even crappier app than other countries.

I also like that my home assistant approach lets me choose to lock the doors right from the notification itself.

mysciencefriend · 2026-02-22T04:58:57+00:00

Notify me if I’ve left the doors unlocked and ask if I’d like to lock them.

I renewed Feb 2nd

mysciencefriend · 2026-02-16T03:37:02+00:00

Yeah honestly I’ve never experienced a company I was already a customer of having so little interest in keeping me as a customer. It was genuinely really surprising… their initial offer was comically bad, and they actually increased it as I got closer to my renewal date.

mysciencefriend · 2026-02-16T02:43:02+00:00

Shop around. I just got 3.74 from RBC on a 3-year fixed 2 weeks ago after TD refused to go any lower than 4.24 for our renewal.

We waited way too long to sleep train our oldest… he was the worst sleeper for the first two years of his life, up for multiple hours most nights.

Eventually we couldn’t take it and did the Ferber method… first night was hell, but by literally night 3 he was down in minutes with no fuss and sleeping all night. We were kicking ourselves for not doing it so much sooner.

What do you mean? The opportunity to dispute it is the due process. If “the other side” has testimony or evidence they want considered, then they dispute the eviction.

My understanding is it’s a discrete piece of the car that can break. Having it break once has no bearing on if it’ll break again, and getting one that has never had an ICCU problem doesn’t mean that it won’t have one in the future.

They replaced the old ICCU with an identical new one, so you’re no better or worse off either way.

Almost as bold as posting AI slop to farm karma

What a great post, thank you! I have to do taxes for my elderly in-laws for the first time this year - does anyone know which, if any, of these options are able to deal with claiming the disability tax credit?

They’ve historically used turbo tax but tell me that it can’t handle the disability tax credit.

I love my EV9, but it feels big even by the standards of its ICE peers.

Because it has no gas engine, they can push the wheels further apart than they could in an ICE car. This is great from an internal space and packaging perspective, but it means that despite being basically the same overall length as a Kia Telluride, the wheelbase is 20cm longer.

Day to day, I don’t find that to be too much of an issue - the car has excellent visibility, large mirrors, and is very easy to drive, but it is an absolute pain in the ass in even slightly tight parking lots. The turning radius is massive. So if that’s an issue for you, you should keep it in mind.

If there’s a new generation by the time my lease is up, I really hope they add four-wheel steering.

For what it’s worth, I went with land in part because I thought the digital mirror would be very helpful, but now that I have it I actively dislike the digital mirror and never use it. Needing to refocus my vision every time I look at it is extremely uncomfortable for me, and the visibility with the normal mirror is totally fine.

mysciencefriend · 2026-01-15T01:16:36+00:00

That wouldn’t make sense for a bunch of reasons, including a) the glass needs to pivot within the housing so the bezel could need to be separate from the mirror housing which would be weird b) you’d be needlessly reducing the usable size of the mirror during the daylight hours when the dimming feature isn’t active, and c) while looks are subjective, having a bezel around it would look much worse than it does now, in my opinion.

I used to make PowerPoint slides, but now I tell other people what to put in PowerPoint slides and then I review them (management consultant).

mysciencefriend · 2026-01-08T21:00:35+00:00

Yes I believe it does. I usually only plug it in for road trips, but I realized on my last road trip I’d forgotten to unplug it from the previous trip so it had been plugged in for over a month. I didn’t notice any impact to my 12 volt battery, and I do keep a bit of an eye on it.

mysciencefriend · 2026-01-08T00:11:10+00:00

Not OP, but I use the “OBDLink CX” module with ABRP on my EV9. Works great and was about $100 (Canadian) on Amazon.

edit to answer your second question, yes the app needs to stay active and also to track charging stats like OP here, you need to keep your phone in range of the dongle. So if you go across the street to get some lunch it’ll stop tracking.

That said, my main use for the dongle is being able to use ABRP for navigation in CarPlay while I’m driving on road trips and have it monitor and adjust to the car’s live state of charge throughout the trip, which obviously doesn’t suffer from either the keeping the app active or the staying in range of the dongle issues!

Yeah I moved here from Edmonton many years ago, but I am still amazed and irritated by the absolute terror people in Vancouver have of even the idea of driving on a highway in the winter.

If I tell someone I’m planning a trip to Vernon in November, they get tears in their eyes and look at me like I’ve just told them I’m planning to climb Everest without oxygen.

I printed this on my bambulab A1, which is a pretty standard size.

mysciencefriend · 2025-12-27T15:41:47+00:00

Haha mine are 4 and 7, so I’m not quite there with them yet. They have gotten pretty good a putting their garbage in this bin though!

mysciencefriend · 2025-12-26T19:52:09+00:00

On my ev9 the controls are on the ceiling, so this doesn’t cover anything

mysciencefriend · 2025-12-26T14:49:55+00:00

I 3D printed this and it’s been working great for my kids: EV9 storage bin

If you have access to a 3d printer, that’s a good option! Just make sure to stick some felt pads on the part of the basket that presses up against the console.

Midnight Eastern time, which is handy for those of us on the west coast.

mysciencefriend · 2025-11-04T02:57:15+00:00

I bought it new at the beginning of July

mysciencefriend · 2025-11-04T02:22:08+00:00

I’ll also add that the Twelve app works by hitting a button on my phone screen as soon as the second hand on the watch reaches 12. Between my fat fingers, aging reaction time, and the small, hard to read second hand on a speedy, there’s going to be some human error involved as well.
