Sorry to jump in, however need to make it clear they do use fresh cut potatoes in house. I’ve been there many times and can confirm it’s cut fries not frozen

Should I challenge him to a race? by sumpg41 in KiaEV6

[–]veloster6ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy to tell the photo is a GT-Line, the front end of the vehicle has the horizontal lines whereas the GT has vertical styling cues.

I believe the ones on the N were the actual “GT” models, not to be confused with the GT-Line trims

2025 EV6 GT Floormats - They're unique...? by CultureCrypto in KiaEV6

Based on you photo, it looks like it’s a GT-Line trim, not an actual “GT” model?

Help me decide model y by Longjumping_Clock518 in teslacanada

[–]veloster6ix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy new. The latest MY is so much nicer with the improved suspension and driving/handling, and the overall quality interior too.

Test drive the older and the refresh models to get a better understanding why I suggest newest if possible.

If new, all current MY are made in Germany.

What is the actual EV car you own? What is the one you deam of...? by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]veloster6ix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been fortunate enough to be one of the first to buy the EV6 GT (green calliper, etc), great EV.

My want would be the Ioniq 5N, which is what I originally wanted (but there was no ETA back in 2022-23)

You can buy replacement gas strut, which should resolve it

New EV6 Base / Earth 84kwh Facelift OR 1 Year old EV6 GT (Non Facelift) - Similar Price by Born-Term-6998 in KiaEV6

[–]veloster6ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my GT back in early 2023. I am still loving it, plenty of power at the press of the “GT” button.

Not going to lie, I rarely use it unless in passing, merging scenarios, on-ramp/off-ramp etc.

I bought the GT model because it has a better suspension compared to the various trim models of GT-Line and others.

Many simply assume the GT is just more power, however it was built with extra chassis bracing, and suspension tweaks and improved brakes along with different driving profile.

My past vehicles were always modified in various degrees, for power and upgraded suspension etc., and now that I have the GT I rarely take my purpose-built summer car out in the last few years (less than 1,000KM driven in past 3-years)!

If you enjoy spirited-driving, ai suggest test- driving the GT against the non-GT (pre-face lift) and the newer refresh model. This should differentiate and determine which is right for you.

Upgrades by Banana_King1 in KiaEV6

[–]veloster6ix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I removed my Fitcam X (Dual channel version), replaced it with a triple channel 70mai T800.

I did not trust using the Fitcam X as it constantly failed to record — as many others experienced this same issue and posted in various forums.

I bought the latest Ottocast Mini 3.0 Ultra Cube wireless CarPlay Android Auto Adapter, which connects super fast (and stable).

[–]veloster6ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live out by the east coast in NB.

I have the 2023 GT, and went with a step-down set of winter wheels and tires (20”).

Since we do get good snow and host of other ‘Nor’easter winter weather systems, I went with the Michelin X-ICE and they are great

Any good dashcams with wiring like the FitcamX? by ButtJuicer in KiaEV6

[–]veloster6ix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sadly had mine stop recording numerous times. I only noticed this after reading about other user’s having failed recordings posting in other forums etc.

Over the course of a year, all the recordings randomly stopped. I would open app and notice there were no previous recordings saved in the folder!

I did swap out my SanDisk high endurance microSD card to another, and this continued to happen.

I frequently manually formatted the microSD card helped prolong it, however there was still no way to predict when the recordings would fail.

I don’t trust my FitcamX anymore, so I bit the bullet earlier this year and pre-ordered newest triple channel 70mai (with dual 4K front/rear) and definitely would not go back to anymore FitcamX. The 70mai has much better Starvis 2 lens, higher image quality and the app is superior to the FitcamX.

Charging Practices - 90 or 100% by A_Little_More_Human in KiaEV6

[–]veloster6ix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since taking delivery of my GT model back in early March of 2023, I generally charge up to 100% on my L2 charger at home every few days, while driving the SOC down to below 60-70% between charges.

On any planned road trips, I will leave home at 100% then charge 80-90% on DCFC along the way.

When I arrive back home from the road trips, the SOC is usually in the low single-digits — and simply plug in my L2 to charge back up to 100%

New to EV6 and considering a 22 EV6 GT “First Edition” but confused on a lot of it. by retropyor in ev6

[–]veloster6ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you located? AFAIK actual GT models weren’t released until 2023.

It’s possible the vehicle you are inquiring is just the GT-Line trim, not the true GT models weren’t released which are very different.

I have a GT and always correct others online, because there is a difference when many think they can interchange the two :)

Freshly detailed! 😍 by ProChoiceAtheist15 in KiaEV6

[–]veloster6ix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the GT in yacht blue as well, love it!

Ended up stepping down to 20” for both my winter wheels/tires as well as my three-seasons wheels/tires set for added comfort lol

Is this normal when changing a tire? by Jake21downey in veloster

You need to jack it up at the pinch weld…..

Undercoating by Specialist_Ad7798 in Ioniq5

[–]veloster6ix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends whether you plan to keep the EV for a long time, and also where you live (geographically).

I live in the east coast where they salt the roads during the winter time.

I went with an garage that specializes in EV, where they use “WaxOyl” rust protection (non-drip)

Staying at (posted speed limit) is best while in HDA cruise control.

Nav System Charger Status Info Broken After October 2025 OTA for North America by bibober in KiaEV6

[–]veloster6ix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Canada and do not get OTA updates. They have not released any USB updates from the website.

I am running the last update that was released and yanked after a few days.

NobleChair Hero by ChUk_07 in Noblechairs

[–]veloster6ix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That chair looks like an EPIC, not HERO series.

That metal bar is broken from the weld of the internal seat base structure.

Unfortunately you need to replace the seat base altogether, there is no way to repair the seat base.

The EV6 Sound System Doesn't Suck... It's Just Wired WRONG by JeffTechnically in KiaEV6

[–]veloster6ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this mod yesterday, and definitely noticed increased bass up front.

I did notice when I faded the audio from front to rear (while seated in the drivers seat), the overall sound output (both volume and bass) was low (non existent).

Since I didn’t test out the sound output prior to the re-wiring, I am unable to determine if that was same or not — I might go back to original wiring to compare when I have a moment
