I never seen someone so happy to have this many problems with their car just smiling away lol 😂
😀
He is putting his positive face in front, to not show how much he is crying inside.
So good to hear that its the common ev issues that arent major and taken care of once discovered. Most evs has similar things going on.
I really want to get an EV6 and I'm watching so much repetitive details from all the sources. Yours was not that way what so ever but is in fact what I look for in researching. Glad to subscribe.
🙏
Thanks for sharing your experience with the EV6. I am in my early stage of researching to get myself an electric car. The KIA EV6 seems to look really cool compare to the other more expensive EV manufacturers'. You showed me something more to be cautious about.
Very concise information. Interesting indeed. I would not expect any of these issues from a new EV6. Hopefully these have all been resolved and you can enjoy your new electric car.
We put in a secondary Amp and a subwoofer in our 2022 EV6 and now the stereo rocks!!
Thank you for this video. I was tired of the normally loud and obnoxious videos from other channels telling us how great the vehicle is without actually testing anything. Your video gave me everything I needed to know from an actual driver and so far it doesn't sound like the issues are too bad with this Kia. I had the same experience with the HVAC problem with a Hyundai Kona when it first came out. I'll definitely keep this on the list against the Ford Mach-E.
🙏
Thanks for the information! Keep up the good work!
😀🙏
Thank you. We are finally getting a real review on the EV6.
Just got a Glacier Ev6 Wing Rwd Long Range. I'm definitely very happy with the technology and smooth driving experience.
I don't have an EV model but I've had a terrific experience with my local Kia's service department. It's the only reason why I would even consider the brand again!
Thanks for your sharing!
Thankful and happy I haven’t had any problems
These are very helpful Mahesh. I have put a deposit on an EV6 and will look out for these issues when it eventually arrives.
Enjoy your EV6!
Thank you for this information!
My pleasure!
I was going to continue with this poor sound, thanks to your video I’m going to see about getting this update.
Thank you for this. I'm days away from my purchase of it now and I want to forward mention of all of this to the service department before I pick it up!
Is it smoother sailing for you with it now? The sound system is o.k. now? Have read about blown-out amps!
Glad it was helpful!
Yes, my sound system is fine... I've read of blown amps, but fingers crossed, mine is doing fine...
Appreciate the video
For reference, technical service bulletins are not recalls
Great video, very informative
🙏
i have 6400 miles and never had any problems with mine . Love it
👍
Thanks for sharing the info on the bugs! Good news for those of us buying now... Kia has 2 years to fix these by the time our cars get produced!
KIA quality.
I have a six week old EV6 with the No Heat/AC or Fan problem. Dealer diagnosed a Blower assembly and while waiting for that to be delivered the HVAC system magically began working. Oy Vey!! I'm an early adopter on tech and know that there are risks in adopting it. This car is a good example. Perhaps anyone considering the EV6 should wait for model year 2 or 3 before taking the plunge. I love so much about this car it's a shame many of us have suffered the teething problems that should have been sorted out before US deliveries began.
Glad your climate control is back working again!
Always a scary thing to buy a 1st year of any model
I'm genuinely amazed you were able to find a dealer willing to work on your car, since it was purchased somewhere else. Yes, they will accept your car for warranty work, but don't be surprised if they "work you in" around the servicing of vehicles purchased at the dealership. They do find ways to be vindictive
I had this EXACT issues with my Kia Niro. The place I took it took got real shitty when they saw the other dealers emblem on my car. REALLY shitty
Thank you for posting this. I was considering an EV6, but now I'll choose an EV from another manufacturer (not Hyundai, KIA or Genesis).
Funny. The H/G/K siblings are getting by far the best reviews of EVs in the market, including long term reviews…
Funny. Are they setting on fire yet?
@@uberenthusiasts Thats’s Tesla you’re thinking of.
I'm in the UK and I had two issues - the internal alarm sensor randomly being activated and the remote heating/cooling not working (except it turns on the fans). Both have been resolved now and the car is performing fantastically. New models have teething issues but Kia has dealt with them quickly and successfully.
Please make a video with step by step instructions for putting a 2023 Kia EV6 in ride along carwash mode. I've watched several videos, all different. None of them make the process easy. My fear is thinking I have all the settings correctly made only to discover that the car and/or the mechanical pully might be damaged during the wash. Your videos are exceptionally good. Thank you!
Thanks, like you I have had one problem, but I love the car, and an early adopter expects to have some issues.
My problem was the car at some point decided not to DC charge from the rapid chargers, Kia UK took 6 weeks and multiple visits to the dealers to fix.
Eventually they suggested it may be the app, and to delete it from the car and re-connect, this was a bit like "turn it off and back on again", I did this and it worked. You do lose all your settings, but 15 mins and you can put it all back.
I think I had almost the first delivery in the UK.
Thank you for sharing your experience 😀
I got my EV6 First Edition February and just got a chance to do some real highway driving. While driving on I 75 to Macon, GA I had two problems. The first one is the lain keep. It almost put in the medium a couple times so I keep bout hands on the wheel, will see if it needs to be readjusted when I take it in for the factory recall on June 21st. Two, was finding a charging station close to the highway. Most of the time they were anywhere from 5 to 20 miles from I 75. A 12 hour drive in my 2014 KIA Optima SLX Turbo or my wife's 2020 Soul X Line Turbo, took me 24 hours in the EV6 First Edition. Now if I have to go anywhere that's more than 190 miles roundtrip it's in the Optima or the Soul. But for my every day driving around Detroit and the Detroit area it's the EV6, look for reasons to drive the car. When I park it in the driveway I sit in it trying think of another reason to pull out the driveway and drive some more. I LOVE MY EV6.
Tesla supercharger every where.
I’ve had my RWD GT LINE EV6 2 months and driven 3500 miles. No issues whatsoever!
The only thing I don’t like is the meridian sound system. Not loud enough.
My old 2017 Optima hybrid sounded way better. Harman Kardon 👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you’re enjoying your EV6 👍 Check with your dealer and see if the SA494 update improves your sound system…
@@THEDRIVERDOWNLOAD I did the updates. I don’t hear a difference! Still not loud enough. It has to be like at 40 to really hear it.
They should have stayed with Harman Kardon. Hopefully aftermarket companies can make replacement subs with amps like JL Audio Stealth boxes
@@THEDRIVERDOWNLOAD Hello, I own also a kia ev6. About SA494 update, can we make that actualization in our house or its necessary go to kia house¿¿
@@miguelangelgarciaalvarez439 that’s only done at the dealership…
Thanks!
Thank you for your support!
After 4 months of ownership with my 2022 Kia EV6 GT-line, I sold it because I pre-ordered a 2024 Cadillac Lyriq AWD. I love my Kia EV6 GT-line but I wanted something bigger (rear seat). They are bringing to the market (KIA) with a new larger Kia EV7. Plus the EV9 should arrive at the dealerships in the 4 quarter of 2023. I love you reviews ......keep informing the public with the pros and cons of their vehicles. I should take delivery of my2024 Cadillac Lyriq AWD in June or July of this year.
I cannot imagine you ever getting frustrated or angry 🤣
😃
Similar issues with ioniq 5. Like, cold air being blown to feet and to passengers.
Also rear speakers are half-muted and the whole system sounds really bad. There seems to be no update for over 9 months now.
Thank you. The car doesn’t have over the air updates? You have to go to the dealership to update?
i own a Wind and a GT line EV6......one with 4K miles on it already and the other under 1K.....no issues at all on either.....so, these troubles are not effecting all production....and after i adjusted the equalizer on the sound system, it thumps very well....so i don't have any issues with sound quality.....that being said, i would not call myself an audiophile, that's for sure....but there is no distortion and the sound is clear.....also, if the recalls were available when you took delivery, the dealer should have done them before you took delivery.....if they were available, of course.
Or maybe already fixed before you got it since it already has 4 k miles in it
@@suavemasky nope...owned them both since new.....i have an excellent dealer, so perhaps recalls/customer service campaigns were completed prior to delivery, but i took delivery of my wind in early march, so not sure if it was out yet....
@@evquietcornerct3210 why have you two?
@@Badonicus 4 drivers in my house
We have had two Bolts for about 5 years with minimal problems. Our neighbor has had a Kia for as long. Recently, hers died in traffic. The dealer says they can't fix the problem, and the car sits at the dealer with nothing being done. Kia is off my short list for the next new car....
I am having the same problems with the Heating. I took delivery in Feb. of 2022, 6 weeks later I heard a loud snap and next, No Heat.
It took 10 day’s for my Dealer to get a replacement heater. This past December the same thing. Now going on three weeks with no EV6.
Road noise from tiers along with wind noise up front. 😢😢 I was told don’t buy it. Hopefully Kia will get a handle on the heater problems.
Never heard a sound system that I didn't need to increase bass,treble or midrange manually...this is probably why in the kia telluride fb forum people complain about the Harmon cardon sound system...they must not adjust the sound 🤦♂️...if adjusted properly the system sounds good.
Thanks / merci pour votre vidéo cela m'aideras certainement ci je rencontre des soucis avec mon EV6 GT Line S, good d'ay 👍
hope to see your next vedio soon cause i ve ordered same car..
All car brands have issues (looking at my wifes new bmw)
Wrong thread
Surround view camera in Kia EV6 GT Line,
I have found this unreliable when judging the distance of my vehicle from say a parking line in FRONT of me. The birds eye camera view suggests I am on a line in front of me when you are in fact 30-40cm away from the line. Wondering what are your experiences is?
I was thinking about buying an EV6 but there is also a charge port overheating issue . As much as I want the car I think I am still going to pass on it. Thanks for your Vid . Thumbs up for this one.
i also had to turn up the volume above 50 to get anything useful and turned the bass and tremble up tons. I wonder if mine has similar issues. is there any more description to determining the sound problems
In addition to having to turn up the sound, the vocals were terrible - that was another sign that something was off with the audio system...
One of the perks of owning a EV is the OTA updates. Why are EV6 owners having to take the car into the dealership for updates that should be bone OTA?
Great question ⁉️
More generally, why are cars in 2022 (EV or not) required to go to dealerships for software updates? One doesn't need an electric drive train for that.
The only manufacturer who can reliably do OTA updates is Tesla. Everybody else is so far behind in software and software updates.
My hyundai dealer said that OTA will be only for navigation computer, however all of modules still need to be updated by the dealer. Not acceptable.
@@circuitdotlt Frankly expected. Legacy automakers are so behind in software. Their tech is outdated and probably will rarely if ever improve over the life of the vehicle.
Hi. I was wondering what tire manufacturer you have? I have just bought a polestar 2 and had a similar vibration issue. Had them rebalanced and it is a little better now, but every now and then I feel it again.
I have Continentals on my car. I didn’t experience the vibration issue myself. I’ve seen it reported on the Facebook groups. It seems to affect Kumho tires.
I love my GT-Line. My only issue is that in New Zealand the app is not available! I have to use my feet to go and check on the car's status
As a long time auto repair shop owner, I'm not surprised. Kia and their corporate cousin Hyundai, have had a long history of annoying issues for many years. Different drive train, same quality/ridiculous issues.
Can you make a video on the buying process from New York? dealers here in AZ are doing a 10K-20K markup... it's ridiculous.
oops nevermind, I see you made a video on how you got it at MSRP already. Sub'd. thanks man, keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Yesterday I test drove a 2023 EV 6 Wind here in Winston Salem NC and the temperature was about 92 degrees at 6:00 PM. I thought the A/C was rather weak and I had it at the lowest temperature and also in recirculate mode and the seat coolers in the max setting. I thought the Meridian System sounded quite good. It was the dark blue color with dark interior. My 2008 Audi A6 Avant Quattro with over 110,000 miles feels lie a refrigerator inside. Hmmm. Nice car though and the regen braking works beautifully.
On the bright side, Kia has actual dealers where you can get your car serviced.
That makes everything worse obviously...
@@wolfgangpreier9160 You prefer having a broken car without a repair network?
@@rzu7120 Which repair network? I got one repair shop for my Peugeot E-208 in 120km distance. I got one repair shop for my Skoda Enyaq who learns with my car in 30km. I got two repair shops for my teslas in 100 and 110km distance. I don't know who could repair my Fiat 500E if something broke.
Maybe i got lucky that i did not need any of those besides non essential and free repairs under warranty (Tesla with Tesla loaner, nice...) which took time and which i could do while visting my customers. All others have some knowlegde about their fossil contraptions built in the last century but none have trained technicians on real cars. Real cars don't stink.
Yes they are all my cars of my own company. I have ditched all fossil use. Not only for the cars. In 2019. Completely. And i've saved a bunch of money and no more maintenance!
I've heard of the heat pump failing on Nissan leaf as well.
Nissan Leaf does have a heat pump, it being passive air cooled.
@@devonbikefilms the Leaf SV, SL Plus and the SV Plus have heat pumps for cabin heat/ac control, not for thermal battery management.
Too bad mainstream media only focus on Tesla related issues. Maybe news like this would help people understand that all new cars usually have some problems in the first generations. Thanks for the video!
🙏
I wish they would’ve stuck with JBL, and it’s premium brand Harmon/Kardon. Everyone is having issues with their speakers.
I drive a Toyota V6 with 3.5l engine. 14 speaker JBL audio with sub. Service according to the log book. 235,000Km on the clock. Still drives exactly the way I drove off from the dealership 12 years later.
Bfd .I've had numerous problems with my Tacoma at low miles 💩
With the dealer markup's, problems and no dedicated charging network I would still get a Tesla...which is what I did. Tesla's aren't perfect but all software updates are done over the air and big repairs have been completed in my garage at my house. I love not dealing with dealerships.
Im considering Kia Ev6 or Tesla model 3. What Tesla did you get? How are you liking it?
Enjoyed ur review. Thank you. I am pleased kia were able to expeditiously remedy your issues. However, kia is not a startup so as legacy automakers love to tell us, they know how to build cars. It seems when it comes to evs, they are all startups. And in the case of gm, a dismal failure of a startup. I hope kia can continue to improve as the car is certainly sharp looking from the outside.
I have KIA Ev6 Wind AWD and at 87 I finally have my dream car! The learning curve is steep, but every day is like getting a new car! On my second month and still learning! Second month and still perfection! Always wanted to know what it was like to be launched from a Carrier in an F24! Be sure your head is against the headrest the first launch in the Sport Mode!
I wanted a white one , but theA/C is so guick, it doesn’t take but a few seconds to cool completely in a 100 degree day in Kansas
With a dark blue that looks black! There are not enough superlatives to describe this car!
F24 = F14
Do you know of any dealers in Cali that offer at MSRP?
The only one I know in the Bay Area is Dublin Kia. But more information here: th-cam.com/video/8BdKffGNBqM/w-d-xo.html
No over the air updates?
Hats off for taking all the issues so calmly, I would be livid
Will EV6 be offering OTAs in future?
My a/c pump broke on my Tesla after 3 months. It got fixed after 1.5 days. EVs are still fun and it’ll get better. Have hope
What model Tesla do you have and how do you like it? I’m considering a Kia Ev6 or Tesla model 3. Any thoughts or suggestions?
@@theticoboy so I got a call about the Kia EV6, was on a waitlist. was set on it vs a Tesla model 3.
The dealership is adding 12K in fees and trying to charge me 1000$ a month. Said no thanks I’m getting a model 3 for 600$ a month. Financed my self thru a credit union. I have a car with apple car play now and it definitely is not great. I don’t want it on my car it makes the sound quality very poor. Tesla has been making EVs longer. I have more faith and I don’t have to deal with the stealerships.
@@double_joseph327 hey thanks for the feedback! I just ordered a model 3 yesterday for similar reasons. Financing it through a credit union too. Hopefully the Tesla gets here before I have to resubmit the financing via the credit union again. 🤞🏽
@@theticoboy those applications are only good for 45 days they will most likely have to rerun your credit. However great choice!
@@double_joseph327 luckily mine is good until 10/6. But generally you are right. Hoping it gets here in time as I think the rates may go up again. Ugh. 😂
Buyer Beware
We bought the EV6 Wind RWD on April 2, 2022at Ball KIA San Diego. We love the way it looks, the way it drives, the modes and the room. We purchased it specifically because of the California CAV Carpool status and the 310 mile range. When I commuted to my work destination 134 miles away, the next day, on a 100% full charge; I had 13% battery and only 24 miles to go after I arrived to my final destination. I didn't drive extreme or in a hilly areas. Nothing different than the terrain and freeway speeds of Orange County where the KIA Corporate HDQ are located. I didn't have the heater or ac on anything more than normal. Needless to say I was peeved. I had to recharge in Compton and I'm glad my wife didn't have to do this. So here I am 3 weeks later, a new car that will not charge more than 215 est miles. The Mi/kwh is 2.3-3.4.
KIA wont help, they keep giving me the runaround and telling me that the 310mile per charge is only an estimate. Even though the brochure says 310* plus/minus 10... KIA headquarters says 167 -310 est range.
KIA wont help us, we have to do all of this investigation on our own, The Service managers, District Manager and Regional manager have not returned any of our calls, emails. We have been to 2 service centers and they are telling us that this 215 mile range is standard and correct for their long range Wind model (the 310 mile model) My wife and I believe that KIA has placed the EV6 Light Model Battery in the Wind Model Frame.
It would seem they would had treated you better since you purchased their first EV from the ground up. And when Kia tested this in R&D, they should have told the truth of the range
There is no way you got a wrong battery pack. What speed were you going on the 134 mile trip ?
Another who have no understanding about EPA range. Your 2.3 m/kwh suggest a very heavy speeder foot on the highways. Go slower for better consumption and you range prediction will improve... and yes the car is showing you the range you can expect with that kind of consumption (the shown range is based on historic consumption, not EPA). Whats why its often called a guess-o-meter (GOM).. when you start getting app. 4.3 m/kwh or better you can beat the EPA range... your car has 77.4 kw battery.. you are just wasting it with high speed consumption really.. simple as that.. so the car really is telling you that its 77.4 battery is good for 215 miles of range with the way you are driving it
@@MartinNyholmJelle Do us all a favor and stop trying to make other drivers the slow PoS that you are. Causing road rage isn't good for humankind.
The only problem I have with this car is that I'm not able to find one in the specs I want at MSRP!
Western NY state dealers are the fairest around.
@@JohnCap523 Unfortunately, I'm in California.
Time for a road trip!
@@JohnCap523 I was contemplating that. But roadtrip in an EV would take a while...
I only had a 240 mile home in my new car but it’s not fun breaking a new car in like that and not having the time to get familiar with it before hitting the road.
No over the air updates🧐
Nice video, although of all the problems with the car. I specifically put attention to the sound quality. I have my EV6 since 4 days now. I have the standard music equipment, not the Meridian. I thing the sound is poor!! Fading music to the back speakers is horrible. OK, may be I ask for to much, since as second car I have a Kona and this car has a GREAT sound with a Krell sound system.
Question: do you think this poor sound quality is normal? I have to raise volume to at least 50 to hear anything acceptable.
LG Bernd
Living in Germany
No, that doesn’t sound normal. You may want to take it to your dealer to get checked out…
Yes, for that kind of top money you gave to your dealer you definitely ask for too much...
My kia ev6 GTLine has been at the dealership for 6 weeks due to a failure in the ICCU unit, which makes it impossible to recharge with alternating current. They don't know how to fix it and it will take weeks for the unit to get to the dealer. this bug is also happening on the ioniq 5 and apparently i'm not the only one. Several similar cases have been reported in the United States. I'm very disappointed.
How much is the car in NYC, on average?
Welcome to the joys of kia and Hyundai ownership. You get to spend half of your time trying to fix annoying problems through crappy dealers and rejected warranty claims.
What are you, Japanese?
Hasn't been my experience.
Did anyone notice issues with the 12v Power Outlet present in Boot?
Interesting good Kia ev.
*My heat pump had to be fully rebuild after only 3 weeks of ownership and 500 miles. The problem was they did not fill the PISTON cooler of the heat pump with cooling fluid and the FILL WITH COOLANT sensor was defective from the factory. What a stupid mistake to under fill the cooling fluid with a BAD low-level senor!!!! Also I had to top up the coolant 6 times in the last 3 months like it had a leak but I can't find drips so the heat-pump must be vaporizing the coolant somehow. (the cap is LEFT-HAND thread) Also at 5 weeks all the RELAYS for the battery blew and the car would not charge. They had to drop the battery and fix all the fuses and relays and now it will only charge to 250 miles range and 300 miles range is GONE NOW! I am irritated!!*
I bought a bike... everything works fine! 👍👍
👍😀
After seeing this i am now questioning on what was Kia testing when this car was covered up on spyshots?
Agreed - When these issues appear, I wonder why they didn't show up in testing...
Buying a first gen car typically always has these sorts of problems. Best to wait a few years for the car to have been out on the market. Hopefully there's no major problems, although, it is a Kia at the end of the day...
My new 2024 has been perfect - so far. I do think the stereo is still sub par compared to other factory systems.
Things could be worse. I once had a brand new car leave me sitting and I had to walk 6 miles.
The application is kia Connect?
Correct!
I hope this heat pump isn't used for heating and cooling the battery, otherwise people are destroying their battery all the time while they're driving without it working.
It’s not
Should have bought an ix3 no issues and over the air updates done!
Thanks for this summary of EV6 issues… I just got mine today, less than 2 hours ago, as of this writing… while at the dealership, giving it a once over, i immediately noticed the volume was at 26 yet I could not hear a thing… had to turn it up… way up to like 55 for a low volume… because i had my iPhone connected, the salesman asked if i can the volume up on the phone… while driving it home in bumper to bumper traffic, i had the thought like this 2022 factory system is not as good as the factory system in my 2014 Dodge Durango i’ll take it back tomorrow and ask for them to check for the service update mentioned here for the audio… thank you hugely! I’ve subscribed and given a like for your valuable insight… see you in the FB group
Congratulations on your new EV6! Hope you can get the audio system fixed. Thanks for subscribing 😀🙏
@@THEDRIVERDOWNLOAD I played with the settings and changed it from Authentic to Surround Sound… that certainly helped… for now.
Did they solve it? Great sound in a car is REALLY important to me.
@@jerrysanderit is to me as well… I think the audio quality is simply not what I expected. 18 months later, I’m just used to it. How’s your EV6 treating you?
@@threezo I ended up buying a Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the stereo is just.....o.k. Not as good as my old Mazda 3. The car, however, is all-in-all excellent. Have to listen to my favorite music at home....
You’ve got old firmware,software. There is a new one from April 2022.
The biggest problem you forgot to mention is they could not send an OTA update to fix these issues.
Uh... Duh! If there is a "defective part" a software update will do nothing.
My heating stopped working we need it still in Ireland 🇮🇪 it’s cold in the morning still, so need a fix from mr Kia. Cold air only
So sorry to hear! Hope it gets fixed soon...
I hope mine wont have these problems... My ev6 gt line awd will arrive before September. 😂I wonder why theres no sunroof for the Italian market... Sad story🙃
Good luck with your EV6. Excited for you!
*Very disappointed in KIA regarding these issues!* The release of the EV6 is a big deal for KIA and these vehicles should be 100% pristine. ( _"production hell ?"_ ) Anyways... your blue color choice looks excellent and I would like to see more content regarding the EV6.
🙏
Even though Kia and Hyundai’s are supposedly more reliable than when they first came to the states I had a friend with a Hyundai Elantra that seemed to be in the shop for a new car and having a 5 year 100,000 warranty sometimes tells you one might have some issues. I’ve read of others having theirs in the shop more than the time they drove them…However this isn’t my experience and have never had a Korean car yet.
Imagine having to join Facebook to find fixes for faults in your EV... :D
😀
Foam in the tires? Is that really a needed thing?
It’s to reduce road noise. Common in EVs and plug in hybrids…
@@THEDRIVERDOWNLOAD I’ve never owned either. I honestly didn’t know it was a thing… 🤷♂️
Thanks for sharing your experience. Maybe little easy on face expression on your next video lol
Thanks for sharing I won’t be buying one. Thanks for looking out for us buddy.
Him: I am going to the Kia car dealer.
His Wife: You have more dates with the car dealer than with me.
🤣
I would have returned the Car
When you have multiple problems so early
That means parts are defective and poorly engineered
I mean which hope is there the car will last 4 or 5 years 🧐
Wait. This car was 60k? Brah. Why not go Tesla at this point? Great video man. Tyvm!
🙏
Holy shit this is the car the wife and I are seriously considering here in Europe (Spain). Our Volvo XC90 AWD D5 is absolutely killing us in fuel costs, and even though we had sort of "programmed" an EV purchase for 2023, we've decided it has to be now. There currently are very few EV's (of any make) to choose from, unless of course you can spend 80-100k €, which we can't. We narrowed down the few choices we have to the EV6 GT-line, RWD, and then I see this video. Freakin depressing!
Oh, please don’t be depressed… I’m quite happy with this car. The problems I list are what’s to be expected in a brand new model in its first year. Otherwise it’s a really good car. Perhaps wait until the second year of this model, all the issues should be ironed out…
Even pre-covid Kia was terrible with parts waiting time.
Honestly, I think you might've gotten a lemon mate. In which case you should sue them for a buyback.
A TSB is not a recall. KIA is not required to contact owners
Nice review but I notice to many problems for a new car, Tesla has 10 years of experience making EVs and they have the best technology in the market, also updates are automaticly done over the air, I know you have to wait some months to get one but it is worthed.
Tesla has 10 years experience, but there are still problems today:
-poor paint
-poor fit and finish
-rattles, creaks, noises inside the car
-rough ride with those big low-profile tires
@@DerekDavis213 My model S is more than 5 years old, I will sell it in September to receive a new model Y, the paint is perfect, my car looks pristine and I don't have any of those problems that you mention.
@@fernandocorredor5592 Model S has the nice air suspension, Model Y has coil suspension and a much rougher ride. You might want to test drive a Model Y on less than smooth roads first.
Model S is the premium model, so of course you won't have problems with poor paint and poor fit-and-finish. Model Y owners are having those problems VERY commonly.
In fact, Model Y owners filed a class action lawsuit against Tesla, because of poor paint job. Just g00gle it.
@@DerekDavis213 I can tell that you haven't had a Tesla yet, My wife also have a model 3 (four years old), never had a problem with it, the paint is also in very good shape, just some minor scratches on the front from small chips on the road, the stereo in the car is amazing, the sound of it is outstanding, I have no complains and that is why I am getting a new model Y, it's also good to check the supercharger network that is really poor outside of Tesla.
@@fernandocorredor5592 Many, many people have reported paint and quality issues with Tesla. Customers have even filed a *class* *action* *lawsuit* against Tesla. So there is a real problem, even if you have been lucky and not experienced it.
Four years ago, Elon Musk said "soon Full Self Driving will take you from Los Angeles to New York automatically". In June of 2022, FSD is a joke, nowhere even close to fulfilling Musk's promise. Recently, a Tesla software engineer said that FSD is still very primitive. How many customers have spent $10,000 or $12,000 for FSD, which is just wishful thinking and NOT a real product?
In America, we have 'Electrify America' charging network for non-Tesla electric cars. It is very good, though not quite as good as Tesla's Supercharger network. Electrify America offers 350 kilowatt charging for cars that can handle fast charging.
One last thing about Tesla: on a road trip, I can put 400 miles of range into my gasoline car in about 3 minutes. Gas stations are everywhere. Tesla charging is going to waste HOURS on a road trip.
I have a Nissan Rogue with apple car play. Apple car play, I have no idea why, makes the sound so terrible.
There's no excuse for problems because it's new, the R&D is supposed to be done by the manufacturer not the sucker who parts with money on an underdeveloped vehicle.
That's why I never get first Gen. I always wait so they can get the kinks fixed
