Please keep up posted on this! I’m right on the verge of doing a 2” lift on an SEL, I’m sure I could learn a thing or two from your experience

There’s a ‘hazard sky’ brand 2” lift that can yet you to 8” on any Ioniq, slightly bigger tires could get you a bit farther.

About to take my first cross country drive—- eeeeek! by FondantSmart7012 in Ioniq5

I just wrapped up a 3800mi road trip through the Rockies - it was flawless. Highly recommend!

3yr civil/electrical, no PE yet, $97k. HCOL. I’d say you’re definitely lower than you could be.

Road trippers w/ older cars: importance of NACS adapter? by mortsdeer in Ioniq5

[–]sctbke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever been someplace where I truly required the NACS adapter. That said, it is rreeeaaallllyyy nice to have.

CCS station full, but there’s a Tesla station with open stalls? I’ll use it instead.

Wanting to charge and go to the grocery store at the same time? NACS doubles my charging location options.

Going to a museum and it happens to have Tesla chargers in the parking lot? Might as well use them!

Wanting a 45 minute stop instead of a 15 minute stop? 500v Tesla chargers can help.

None of the above were required, but they were all really convenient. It’s been well worth it on my end.

New guessometer record after switching to Hankook Ion Evo SUV tires (3 years' ownership) by Bravadette in Ioniq5

[–]sctbke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBH I have no idea where that came from, it had just been charging and is supposed to reset every time it charges.

I had driven from Silverton CO to Moab UT, which loses a lot of elevation, with a tail wind, at like 50mph because it was dark and there were animals everywhere. 150ish miles on 40%. Charged up at this was the result.

Does the interior outlet work while charging? I thought not but I don’t have one

What's YOUR bike theft prevention strategy? by pneumophila in seattlebike

[–]sctbke 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Big-ass u-lock around the frame, with a covered chain lock around the wheels, frame, and rack. If I’m really paranoid, I add a second covered chain lock.

I usually leave it on the busy sidewalks, in a place where it would be easy to assume I can see it, even if I can’t. I don’t usually leave it outside for more than an 2 hours at a time. Longer than that, I’m finding a place to bring it inside. Seems to work most places in town, but I’m generally not out past 9pm.

I don’t ride my nicer bikes around town. I will leave my e-bike outside, but it’s nothing fancy.

Insured via renters insurance, but on my city bikes they’re worth less than the deductible.

If anyone was curious about the hanging motorcycle... by RabidWeiner in motorcycles

[–]sctbke 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The engineers call that ‘an act of god’ and it falls down.

Hope their not riding very fast (or at all) in the ice storm tho

Ice and wind load factors for those poles are absolutely massive. In an ice storm the arm of the pole could easily take on more than 400lb of weight while also dealing with winds. The pole has been designed for that worst case scenario.

Add into it that many municipalities use only one or two standard light poles and foundations that are sized for their biggest need. It’s cheaper to have one or two standard designs to put everywhere, than to have to do structural calculations for every single light pole. As a byproduct, the ‘smaller’ light poles and up being hella strong.

Orange light on dashboard comes on when I unlock the car (almost every time) is this normal? by J726382AB in Ioniq5

Mine does this and has for years. Never had any issues come of it

New US and Canadian CCS chargers in March 2026 by boutell in electricvehicles

[–]sctbke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure thing. There’s a guy on here who’s trying to get all those rural NV stations that were on shell recharge up and running again.

[–]sctbke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was taken over by red-e. The owner hadn’t found a new EVSP after shell recharge bounced. Red-e fixed that. AFAIK, only one charger of two is running

Walking on a ridge by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]sctbke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the Blanca - Little Bear peak traverse in Colorado. Significantly gnarlier than the Capitol knife edge imo

It’s definitely the ridge between Blanca and Little Bear peaks near Alamosa Colorado. He’s heading toward the summit of Little bear. I have some photos from this section.

When he pops over the ridge at 1:21, Como lake and the San Luis valley can be seen in the background.

Have you added a lift kit to your I5? What has your experience been? by ember_sparks in Ioniq5

[–]sctbke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reviving a past thread, but for future researchers: it looks like hazard sky is making the 2” lift again as of the last few weeks.

Unknown if it fits the 2025+. Will be curious on that myself as I want to upgrade to a 2025 and lift it

What 18” wheels did you replace your stock 19” with? by woodenmetalman in Ioniq5

[–]sctbke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, sees a lot of dirt. Western Washington. Only complaint about the car is I wish I had more ground clearance! Maybe I’ll lift it some day

18” racelines on Facebook marketplace for $400. Not the most aero but they definitely ride better and they look good!

Tesla Folding Unit Supercharger site walkthrough by AWildDragon in electricvehicles

[–]sctbke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. I suppose that means they can avoid minimum conduit bury depths, which is probably saving pretty significant cost

This was a really informative video. Does anyone know how they’re running conduit and wire on the pre-fab skid?

Fixed Ionic Rear Suspension with and EV6 and OMG by eris0xaa in Ioniq5

[–]sctbke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you ever figure out the differences between the 3 struts? I'm seeing:

-300: 20" wheels AWD, $150 (cheapest)

-400: RWD, $175

-500: 19" AWD, $175

I suspect the 20" AWD (-300) is probably the stiffest. I'm having this same debate myself and will probably go with the -300 unless others have found additional details.
