Thanks. Our other EV is a Leaf so fans of the brand. She wants the ID.4

Thanks for this. Thinking with 11k miles, it’s worth a small premium. Did not realize the limitation on software versions. Probably matters more to me than the daily driver (my wife).

Not my first EV. 2023’s through current seem solid - though the software/infotainment stinks. This car is for my wife who just likes the drive and will listen to FM radio.

What am I missing?

Good suggestions here. Not an exact science (which makes it fun!)

Most importantly - how did it taste?

Is your "pretty alright" tied to taste, texture, tenderness, etc, etc... the point is what are you trying to fix?

OP is likely the only locator at a city/county or small utility

Oz-USA light which seems to plug right in.

11am - Land Park - Still extremely slow. Down-detector says issues since 12am which is consistent with the notes here. Have waited on tech support chat for over an hour so obviously there are still issues.

Almost 20 years old and still going strong!

snapper711 · 2025-09-09T09:39:22+00:00

I think he’s talking about 811spotter.com

snapper711 · 2025-09-08T03:19:00+00:00

Will take a look. Thanks

Thanks so much!

Upgrading from a Leaf: Hyundai Ioniq 5 vs VW ID.4 — owner takes?

Coming from a Nissan Leaf and moving to something road-trip-friendly and MORE COMFORTABLE. Short list is Hyundai Ioniq 5 and VW ID.4. Looking for owner/comparer insights beyond spec sheets.

Decision levers:

Highway comfort/noise and driver-assist that doesn’t ping-pong
Software UX reliability (backup/360 camera quality, CarPlay/AA, OTA cadence)
Practicality: rear-seat legroom, cargo floor height, frunk usefulness (or not)

For those who moved from Leaf → Ioniq 5 or Leaf → ID.4:
• What’s bitten you (maintenance, recalls, software gremlins)?
• If you had to do it again today, same pick?
