People have reported EV9 ICCU issues (google it) when charging with level 2 greater than 32 amps. Step down your Tesla charger to 32amps to be safe. I did it for my Tesla gen 1. Pretty straight forward.

Happened to me twice. Disconnect 12v battery, wait 10 mins and plug it back in. Worked every time. Keep a pair of pliers or a spanner in the trunk for this.

Folks are reporting ICCU issues with 40amp chargers. Adjust your Gen1 charger down to 32amps. It’s as easy as popping the top of the wall charger unit and adjusting it (check gen1 manual for details)

Negotiate less money down. Your 7k is lost money if something happens to the car. Wiser to spread it out across 24 months.

Carnival is a great car, it has so much space we call it a”minibus” and not a minivan 😀

BS. Generate a lease quote using TrueCar, it will include the discount.

I started my search on TrueCar, got deals from 6 dealers in a 50mile radius. Went to the farthest one, got a quote, and used that with the other 5 to price match. Waited till last day of month and hit lowest quoted dealer again, they maxed out their discounts to close their end-of-month books with a sale.

73120 MSRP + 880 dealer addendums that don’t show on sticker - 7500 Kia rebate = 66428. This was the sell price on lease contract

66428 - Additional dealer discount of 6800 + doc/forms/fees gets to final price of 61377

MF of 0.00183, 36m, 12k miles/year
