Total failures of several kinds on Hyundais and Kias over the last decade are not rare at all. No other brands compare. Hyundai and Kia's Decade of Very Troublesome Engines Continues.

Regularly applied Fluid Film is much better than cosmoline/tar type products. Salty water can't get trapped by the coating.

I got the accordion fold manual one and we are happy with it no rattles. Bought it from EV Base. Note on Amazon there is now a $300 one that looks better, branded Oedro, that does not have the pleated material. It looks just like the electric one.

I use urine. Sterile and free.

Thanks. We have since found out that a neighbor had some crazy ants, so the trip to Orlando might or might not be coincidental. Although both are so tiny its hard to see, the coloring of ours looks like a consistent brown, like tawny crazy ants. (most of the crazy ants in Florida are the tawny...

This is going to become a big problem for EVs in the south, especially those that charge away from home.

Thank you so much, I have to say 90% chance you are right. They are so tiny that I cannot tell for sure they are ants, but they are the size the crazy ants are supposed to be (about 1/16 of an inch long). Reading up on them, the good thing is they don't like AC spaces so they stay outside. The...

I live in Sarasota FL. My wife parked the 2023 Model Y at the Orlando airport garage for a few days, when she came back I noticed a few little bugs (never saw these before) running around mainly the outside of the car. I washed the car hoping that would chase a few of them away. I charged the...

Under lemon laws that I'm familiar with you have to bring in the car to fix a problem at least 3 times without a successful repair. This is just the first visit. But it is definitely good to find out the rules.

Just noticed I never followed up on this, sorry. We got the $395 sunshade in late May, and it has been very useful in our hot Florida summer. The material is very effective, it no longer feels the top of my head is in an oven while AC air blows on my body. When open it does restrict the glass...

I just ordered a very similar one from EVBase for $395 includes shipping. Looks identical to Taptes there might be 1 maker in china selling under many names here. I'll report on it when I get it.

Parking assist worked immediately in my 3 month old Y. But its so inaccurate its close to useless, When I pull in the garage it counts down to 0 and says stop when its still about 30" from the front wall. Hopefully as I go well beyond the stop point every time it may get better.

No screenshot needed, its useless so far. It counts down inches, but hits 0 and tells me to stop when I am still about 30" actual away from the front wall. I still don't know how they can make it better than this when the front camera cannot see the bumper or anywhere near it.

I have a Y without the USS and I really don't see any way they are going to make a vision system work anywhere near as well. The windshield camera can't even see the front bumper. No reason to wait in the hope of getting a viable replacement for the USS system. It would be like waiting for full...

I didn't even consider autopilot seems crazy to spend that much. Even on my LR model the acceleration is impressive, especially since my backup car has 65 hp. Interesting that you are fine with the suspension on Michigan roads, although I guess most people must be else they would not have bought...
