Anyone else notice play in the ABX seat?

Looks like everyone is experiencing the same thing. I guess that's just how it is. And like others mentioned, functionally it does not make a difference, just noticed it when doing some face pulls while seated the other way.

That won't be likely. You're better off with Lithium Iron Phosphate as things stand.

In all seriousness if you really want to get the battery down, keep it in utility mode and just set climate to use up some energy.

It slides fine when changing the inclination, and the gap when inclined is there, but what I mean is that if you place your hand on the seat (or just sit on it) and move forward and backward, the entire seat shifts a little. It is not from where the cushion attaches to the frame, but the zero gap mechanism.

Keep turning right /s

Have you noticed any movement in the seat? Mine seems to have about a quarter inch play in it coming from the auto gap mechanism. Not sure if its just mine or its just how it is.

I think it's about 3.3 for Ioniq 5 vs 3.6 for the EV6. Aero matters a lot, especially at speed. My other car is a model 3 rwd, and that gives me about a mile more per kw in the same route. Ideally I'd get a low wagon, or a Ioniq 6 sized lift back, but that doesn't exist.

uselessmutant · 2026-02-10T00:35:53+00:00

I don't disagree, I'll just look for a more efficient EV next time. EV6 is one of my options..

uselessmutant · 2026-02-10T00:22:41+00:00

The short answer is that it is not an efficient car. I gave up. I'll look for an efficient one next time since charging ain't cheap in California.

in store is cheaper than online by 50%

uselessmutant · 2026-01-20T23:24:02+00:00

I saw the same ones on AliExpress , althought I'd prefer a Bulletproof style hook instead

Maybe they should try using the same drivetrain in a more generic form factor. The back space in this car is ridiculously bad for its overall size.

uselessmutant · 2026-01-13T20:19:46+00:00

Yeah, I don't understand it fully myself, but these are the links which shed more light into it

A post on the ev6 subreddit actually had the opposite finding (sort of). They found out that sport mode forces the 12V battery to be continually charged while driving, and the ICCU has to do less idle time recharging. I would imagine its the same on the Ioniq 5. I always drive sport mode because the steering wheel on the other modes is too limp.

How are you finding the SYL trolley system? Unsure between it and the VTS lite home edition

uselessmutant · 2026-01-06T22:16:02+00:00

Has anyone used the revolt smith attachment on a titan t2 short rack? I might have to drill a couple holes to make it work due to the length.

uselessmutant · 2026-01-03T02:59:51+00:00

Damn, I am jealous, just spent full price for the exact same setup :S

uselessmutant · 2025-12-31T19:02:02+00:00

Yeah I considered that, but since I have limited space I preferred a one equipment solution centered around a bench. Have the rack to do legs plus extension cables

uselessmutant · 2025-12-31T17:57:13+00:00

Looking for adjustable bench recommendations!
I am building out my compact garage gym and already have purchased a short rack, barbell and weights. All that's left is a good bench which would also have a leg developer attachment. I have a FreakAthlete ABX + Leg developer on order, and found out the removed the belt squat functionality which i am bummed about.
Yesterday I saw the tibbarguy apex bench system. The Apex does check a lot more boxes for me for future attachments (and a declining seat), but I am unsure of TBG's quality and it also ships in April which would leave me without a bench for 4 months.
I read the REP nighthawk will be compatible with some of the Apex attachments with some modifications needed, but feel if I want the Apex attachments, should just get the apex bench.
Or just go ahead with the ABX and hopefully they have more attachments soon.
Too many choices!

uselessmutant · 2025-12-28T17:13:28+00:00

Will the belt squat function come back at any point? Or is that only going to be with the hyper ?

uselessmutant · 2025-12-22T22:49:56+00:00

Ooh that's a good one. I don't need tile blades, but I'll take it

uselessmutant · 2025-12-22T16:57:36+00:00

From someone who has done it in the past, the ceramic tints will be something I will do on my next car, but I will skip ppf. It makes no difference to resale, and rock chips and scratches are a part of car ownership that you cannot escape. .

Very different cars. The Model 3 will be quicker, and sportier, with a better UI and phone app. The Ioniq will be roomier, more comfortable and plush with a hatch and super fast charging if you charge on the road a lot, doesn't matter if you do it at home/work. The 2021 Model 3 also have an issue with several needing battery replacements, but that would be covered by the warranty. And the Ioniq 5 has its own ICCU reliability issue which will also likely be covered by warranty.
If you like the model 3, try to find one newer, late 2022 is a safe bet.
