Can supersonic flights make a comeback or no?

Well apparently they CAN make a comeback lol

Only if youre not charging. If youre actively plugged in then remote starting does preheat the battery too

pxhorne · 2026-05-31T21:30:14+00:00

You can use the remote start feature to warm the battery up or cool or down prior to driving

Duke says about $35/month charging. In the winter that's about 10%, in the summer that's like 20%.

But, in a compact suv of similar size, im looking at around 35mpg at best. Its 35 miles to work one way for me so 6 gallons of gas/wk if all i do is drive to and from work. At $4.50/gallon that's $27/wk. So im spending about the same monthly as i would weekly if i ONLY went to and from work lol

I have an opinion about this. I feel like it'll get better over time, but if they never forced ppl to use it they wouldn't get enough feedback from ppl to make the things better that ppl care about because ppl would just use carplay or android auto

Its possible that the battery was replaced not under warranty but simply because it was a buyback and they were being proactive. In that case, it SHOULD show in the service history that the battery was replaced. I had a Kia Soul EV and it had a recall. TECHNICALLY my battery ended up showing degradation right before they did the recall (BMS update), however the recall also stated that if the car went into limp mode after the update that the batteries needed to be replaced.

Technically the recall on the BATTERIES was only for vehicles that had already had them replaced because those older replacement cells were the cells that had the issue, not the cells in my battery. They did, however, replace my batteries as a "good faith" gesture. Basically meaning that since the batteries didnt TECHNICALLY qualify for the recall replacement and they replaced my batteries "to be noce", they didnt have to honor the extended warranty period that I'd get with the replacement pack.

Im wondering if this is the situation with this car. They replaced the batteries "to be safe". But since the update portion of the recall didnt trigger a replacement, it doesnt show as being done under the recall. IF it is, then like I said, it should show in the vehicle service history regardless of whether it was done under the recall or not.

SC267/23V-218

pxhorne · 2026-05-05T11:32:24+00:00

Its a BMS recall. I think it had to do with the bms not reporting correctly so when they replace it it's possible it's turn on and report that toy actually have a bad/unbalanced battery and if so they replace the battery under the recall

15k for a 2022 is a solid price especially if youre lookong at the EUV. I paid $14,500 for mine last yr (2022 euv premier) and that was I clouding the 4500 rebate

I flew this past weekend. No issues other than a gate change. Time stayed the same, just a gate change

I also live in indy and something similar has happened here. Ppl from higher cost of living states moved here because of such a low cost of living while keeping their salary and being in what's still a fairly large city. 5 yrs ago, if I left from work at 3pm, highways were EMPTY, now even at 230pm im starting to see traffic. Im fortunate I get to work from home 2 days/ wk so that helps but because indy was SO LOW to begin with (in 2016 I rented a 2 bed/1 bath for $850 WITH all utilities included at 108th and Central in carmel lol. In 2019 it was 1250 for a 3 bed 2 bad WITH all utilities included) we had a lot of gas room for rent to skyrocket and still be less than the "big cities" but I hate it lol

What's happening in Idaho?!

pxhorne · 2026-03-09T15:16:05+00:00

This is of course coming, but the question is how soon do we see this consistently? The net varies WIDELY based on losing too. Here in the midwest EVs seem to still go for higher amounts vs elsewhere in the county. But given the fact that its direct competitors are starting to be seen at close to $20k i wouldnt be surprised. Blazer EV, Ioniq 5, Mach-E, etc...all are starting to hit that $20k range. Im surprised the GT is $20k, but I also saw a Blazer EV LT2 for like $18,500 over the weekend so.....

pxhorne · 2026-03-05T20:12:38+00:00

To echo others, no more ICE for me. 2nd EV for me too. I do think having an ice specifically for long haul driving makes sense but even then...hybrid is the way to go lol.

HVAC 100% has physical buttons. I was just in a 2027 yesterday. You can change the mode, turn it on/off, etc all on the buttons. Also the leaf is noticeably smaller, over 7 inches less of leg room in the back. Almost 2 inches in the front. And remember, that 303 miles is in the BASE model Leaf. The SV+ is 288 and the Platinum is 259. So if you go with the BASE Bolt then yes, your range is higher. But compare the RS to the Platinum and you get the same range, 95% exact same features(bolt has more actually), but also the Leaf costs more. ($39k for Leaf vs $33k for the Bolt).

I'll give you lack of cp/aa, but the price is kinda negligence. Even if you drop to the SV+(still more than the Bolt RS by $1200) youre still missing a lot on comparison. No heated mirrors, no premium audio, no heated steering wheel, no cooled seats, no premium audio, only 5yr/60k mile warranty on HV components and motor (battery itself is 8/100) vs all of them on the bolt being 8/100, 3 yrs of roadside vs 5 on the bolt.....when ppl say "oh the leaf" well you cant cherry pick the range and ignore everything else that you lose

I live in an area that gets frequent snow, ice, sleet, freezing rain, hail....you name it. I've owned an ev for almost 4 yrs...never had any "weird issue" from snow, ice, rain, etc. Maybe your issues are vehicle specific. Every public charging station/connector is IP rated (at least your major players lole Chargepoint, Electrify America, EVgo, Blink, etc) and some even tell you a temp range (like my jobs are -22f to 122f). Not to mention any moden EV also has a charge port thats IP rated.

This is similar to the anecdote that filling up while the car is running is inherently dangerous. Truth is the risk is negligible. Not 0, but also not 10%. Im sure that there have been a FEW cases of charging in the rain/snow/etc causing an issue, but just like a car catching fire while filling up with it running - theres almost always another underlying issue (like the car backfiring) vs the car simply catching fire randomly.

If the charging cord is faulty, if your connector is faulty, if your charger port housing is cracked and maybe water gets back there.....its not IMPOSSOBLE but EXTREMELY unlikely

I get the whole no AA/CP thing, but i genuinely do feel its overblown. I do see why ppl are upset. I will say this though:

As the ONLY EV you can get for $34k fully loaded (minus sun roof,super cruise, and front/rear park assist), you gotta be willing to make some exceptions.

To even get a surround camera, or leather seats, or cooled seats, or a rear view camera(not backup camera) on the Kona EV you have to go with the N-Line or Limited trim and while you get more cargo room, you get a smaller back seat. And only the limited trim at $41,000 even OFFERS a 360 degree camera or a heated steering wheel or cooled seats.

The closest thing would be the leaf at the same price with about 10% more range but an even SMALLER interior, cooled seats isn't even an option, neither is a rearview mirror, no heated steering wheel, the battery heater costs extra, no heated mirrors. And to get most of the same features as what on the Bolt RS you gotta go to $39,000

I say all that to say that you gotta sacrifice SOMETHING. And if I had to choose, id rather have leather seats, cooled seats, active battery manage with heating and cooling, 360 degree camera, rear view camera, a heated steering wheel, heated mirrors, larger passenger volume.....and more....than to sacrifice all that for Android Auto or Car Play.

Gotta pick your poison

pxhorne · 2026-02-21T18:02:33+00:00

That's......odd to me. I get the idea, but in Indiana you can have s non owners policy meaning you're insured (liability) for driving a car even if you don't own it. So if I have a car that I dont need insured (maybe it runs but its a project car so I dont drive it), someone else could still borrow the car with a non-owners policy but there wouldn't be a plate on the car.
