IONIQ 5 Limited Guide to Self Parking.
This video shows you how you use the self park system on the IONIQ 5 Limited. I demonstrate what buttons to push and when to make the IONIQ 5 back into a standard parking spot, or how to move the car forwards or backwards in tight parking situations. I have shown this system to dozens of people and it is just about bullet proof.

Foundation Cyberbeast VS My Ford Lightning
มุมมอง 890หลายเดือนก่อน
Would I trade in my Lighting for a Cyberbeast? I was fully prepared to dislike the Cybertruck, but I was pleasantly surprised by its capabilities as a real truck. The Tesla is a real showstopper and has more bed space and load capacity than the Lighting. Despite the early productions issues, it might be the best Tesla ever.
Mini Cooper SE is the Best Quality, Small EV, for the Money.

In Colorado, people are getting $17,000 dollars in credits when they lease certain 24 Mini Cooper SE electric cars. I love the mini and it is the best value on wheels for a second car or a short trip specialist! I do not work for Mini or BMW, but of the eleven electric cars I have owned the Mini is still the KING of most fun for the least amount of money.

    The fact that Tesla charging stations do not have LCD screens that try to provide information is surprisingly smart. I wanted to know everything, and I wanted to see it on the charging station. But then I started seeing BUSTED screens, which made me think that the entire charging station was not functional. So good insights by Tesla.

    This is a really good video that explains the ID.4 charging scheduling system well. My one question is if you want to charge at off peak hours and battery is low, say 30%…what do you want the Direct Charge 0-50% to be set at to start the charge at off-peak hours? Do you set it to 0 to insure that charging will start at 30% and go to 80% during off-peak? Thanks for your help.

    I guess Ford is more practical if you're not doing the road trip often. Cybertruck has better charging infra ( well this is mute since Ford now has access to SCs). faster charging speed, safe to go down to 0%, better adaptive cruise control (when it's released) and better turning radius.

    Another tip that I wish I knew. My intermittent windshield wipers did not work in a light steady rain. They wiped once in intermittent and stopped.

Google searches have been a lifesaver, but wish I had found this video earlier. The worst omission is failure to inform new owners about what to do if the charging plug will not release. It happened to me at a public charging station. Thank you for putting this out there.

Even brought my car to the dealer. They tried to instal 3.5 update, but they even weren't able to do so. Mentioning that the id4 went through al the steps for installation, but didn't successfully finish the installation. Any thoughts or tips how to fix it? Or manually start the OTA update?

    Thanks for doing these excellent, clear videos for someone like me who is brand new to the EV ownership world. I just took possession of my 2024 ID.4 two days ago after learning almost nothing from my salesperson. My car came with a 40 amp charger (that looks exactly like the 30 amp unit in this video). I found out that the 3 free years of Electrify America that she reported to me is actually 500 kWh or 3 years, whichever comes first. So I will be leaning heavily on my home charger.

    • @gpavek1
      @gpavek1 16 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      I had the same experience. Three people at the dealership told me I would have three years of unlimited charging at EA, but EA and Volkswagen said I get 3 years free membership on EA's plan (no session fee and a discount) plus 500 kWh of complimentary charge. It turns out that for 2021-23, ID.4's really did get unlimited 30 minute charging sessions at EA for three years. But in 2024, VW changed the deal and now we only get the 500 kWh plus the plan membership. Better than nothing, and I didn't make my choice on the strength of the free electricity, but I was looking forward to it. One more reason to get my home charging sorted out.

    Very good review! Picking mine up here in Norway next week….only a couple of niggles…there’s a lot of annoying alert warnings which fortunately can be turned off before you drive. By selecting the starred favourites button on the steering wheel will take you to the memorised page to select the various options including “off”. The ONE thing you cannot turn off (or cover up) is the red “eye monitor” above the steering wheel which keeps a constant focus on your eyes. If you look elsewhere for even a short time it will beep at you! So get everything organised and prepared BEFORE you start driving!

    Excellent video! I have two questions that maybe you can help with. I've had a 2021 and now a 2023. Whenever I hit the voice button to construct a text reply it doesn't work. It want you to press the screen instead to type a message. What's the point of having a voice feature if it won't construct a text message reply by voice? Am I missing something? AND on both models I've had there seems to be 2 internal clocks? I say this because when I get a new text message and ask the car to read new message, I can see on the screen the time that it came in, however when the voice actually reads the message, the time she says is different. For example I receive a text at 5:00 p.m. and see the time on the screen, but she says the text came in at 9:00 a.m. and I don't know if that means it's 8 hours behind or 16 gours ahead. Can you test it yourself and see if you're getting the same issue? And is there any fix for this?
