Great review ! If possible, reducing the constant use of filler words (especially "um" and "uh") would have improved the viewer experience for me; nonetheless, I appreciated your review

Thank you For the thorough review.It's very useful getting the second opinion from your wife, for example The comments she made about the window control (where as you usually don't even use it). Keep up the great work!

Not sure faster is better. I have been charging my leaf for 10 years at the slowest rate and my battery shows no degradation. It charges while I sleep and is always ready when I need it to be.

For me it’s a bad decision. I’ve got mine (EX30) one week ago and have to admit driving this car is so much fun. I give a shit of some software bugs. Those will be fixed soon anyway.

How could I watch netflix?

Hair is coming back for attention.

Hello sir do you ever experienced on your id.4 tha all of door not unlocked with remote or manually. I had that problem this morning and I am not able to unlock. I called dealership and they don’t know what happened. They want me to tow car to the dealership. What should I do to unlock the door. If you know what to do let me know thanks

Did I miss it how much did he pay for 90k miles?

The charging speed in the I5 is pretty quick. I could see it biting me by finishing the charge to 80% before I could get back out to the car if you had anything you needed to do at a stop. But if you are in a rush it seems like you could keep moving along nearly as fast as with a ICE. Those efficiency numbers you were getting were pretty bad though. Would be nice to be able to stretch out some longer distances between charging stops when trying to make good time.

Glad you made to Denver. Just watched your vid. I believe you were at the meetup with Patrick and Liv at Moru coffee shop? Didn’t get a chance to introduce myself, the one with the puppy. Lues

Glad you enjoyed your trip through God's country. And in an Ioniq 5 no less!! We just got a '24 Ioniq 5 SEL RWD on April 2 and love it. One road trip so far. FL to OH to IA and back to FL. It makes road trips almost as fast as a gas car. And I love the comfort but my wife complains about the lack of lumbar support in the manual passenger seat after several hours on the road. As for the air conditioning anomaly you encountered while charging, we've had something similar happen but not enough times to actually get a handle on what's circumstances lead to what conditions. But since the battery and cabin cooling are shared, I can see how a hot battery would take priority over a hot cabin. But usually, the car is ready to go by the time we've finished "going" so to speak. Once back on the road, the battery seems to cool down in just a few minutes. You can see the power to the HVAC dropping in the electrical usage screen on the infotainment. It's far from a perfect car, but it checks most of my boxes. Glad you liked it too.

I would expect B mode to be more effective in stop and go driving. I found that B mode and cruise control results in quicker response to approaching slower traffic.

Why did you buy this system instead of the VW one?

Thanks for your videos! We have a ChargePoint home charger, and I have the ChargePoint app on my phone, to set the charging schedule. I am having trouble getting our VW ID 4 to charge correctly. I have set the ID 4 car schedule set to exactly match the ChargePoint charging schedule (both start and end times), which is as midnight. But the VW 4 is only charging 11 miles an hour, rather than 31, although we have a 40A ability on the ChargePoint. At one point, it was charging at 31 miles per hour, but now it's not. (We also have a Tesla, and I like to have both cars charge starting at midnight.)

The best charger is the one by The Waffle House, it's a fact.

Sucker

German EV's still come with spare tires. My e-tron has a collapsable/expandable tire and it has saved the day twice. You never plan on using a spare tire, but when you need it at 0230 in the morning on the side of a road in Gettysburg a spare is very handy.

It will be interesting to see your time line for getting the Equinox. I have ordered virtually the same vehicle and you are 3 weeks ahead of me. Looking forward to your next update!

Nice, thanks for this video. We just picked up a 24.

From what i understand, fix-a-flat does work too well on tires made specifically for EVs because of the foam inside to reduce road noise. So you should use a repair kit to plug the hole and then use a portable air pump to inflate the tire. Now, i have had to do this yet....knock on wood.

There’s this new thing called Tesla roadside service bro

I think most vehicle owners never touch thier spare (either never needed or not wanting to bother), so the manufacturers figure why waste the money and the space / weight. Also fix a flat is great in a pinch but is very specific on what leaks it works on and also makes a real mess for the guy at the shop who changes your tire.

This is no longer a hypothetical for me since I traded in my Sportwagen that had a full size spare for an ID4 yesterday. When I lived in the city I was picking up nails a lot so I got real good at changing my own. Hopefully I won't run into this too much and I have AAA if it comes to that. Anyway, thanks for helping me out with your videos, the salesman said I almost knew more about the car than he did. Got me a '24 AWD Pro S in Opal White. I'll miss the old Tornado Red but that pearl coat sure is pretty. If you're at DCI East this year maybe we'll run into each other!

My wife's Leaf has had 2 flats. And the first one I used to fix a flat that came with the car. It didn't work. We had it towed to Discount tires. They actually fixed it for free. 2nd time was due to a screw in the side. I was able to get enough air from the provided air pump and got it to Discount tires. But when it's on the side they don't repair it. So had to get a new tire. The last few cars we have had didn't have a spear. I really don't have an issue with the tow. Yes it takes time to get it done. But you can live with it.

Luckily my F150 Lightning has a full size spare. Most newer models of ICE vehicles dont have spare tires anymore which is crazy

Love my id4. My Girlfriend loves her Tesla Y

This is the best looking Tesla car i have ever seen. It looks better than the more modern tesla cars.

What was the date you submitted the order?

What was the date that you ordered it?

You are correct about the range not making any sense for a 19 in wheel and a 21 inch wheel.

I've got to say, i was disappointed that you completed the AWD vs 2WD. Made the performance and range date pretty useless. Thanks for sharing though

Does anyone know the exact trim level of this KONA in this review? That blind spot plex-glass pop up display type device at minute 10:15 is the coolest safety feature I've ever seen, but is that standard on the limited model, or only available on the ultimate trim ? czcams.com/video/zzBzdVBZz-8/video.html (it's shown only very briefly at minute 10:15)

Still looking forward to your Equinox videos but thanks for this review as well. I'm going tomorrow to look at a '24 ID.4. I like that it's not trying to be a brand new thing but just a car with a different power source. I think the Chevy could be that too but I'm coming from an old VW wagon, I like the brand, and that's good enough for me. Plus I know a guy at the VW dealership, which doesn't hurt. I'll let you know what I think if I decide to make the jump. Your videos have definitely helped me decide it's time to jump on the EV train.

This was perfect for me as an id4 owner who was thinking about the 2025 Ioniq 5. I think I'll stick with the id4 until the R2 is available. Also agree that the id4 doesn't slow down naturally enough when using cruise control. I increased the following distance to try and help. I'll see if that works.

Impressive how you were able to cover so much from just a rental. We've had our '24 SEL RWD for less than eight weeks. We did a roughly 3,400 mile trip a couple weeks after getting it and it is an amazing road tripper. It's now about to turn over 5,000 miles. But, as you said, there are a few things they should have done differently or that they can improve. HDA2 was nice, but not perfect. The main bugs are a tendency to hug whichever side of the lane has a car in the next lane. It also prefers to keep the tires thumping on the reflectors when navigating a gentle curve. And finally, it kept nagging me to put my hands on the wheel when they had never left the wheel. You need to fight the self steering a little so it knows you're there. Capacitive sensing would have been much better. Or monitor the driver's eyes like GM's Super Cruise. It also needs a manual control for battery preconditioning. Preconditioning only works when you have a charger set as your destination in the car's nav system. There were two times on our trip where it should have activated and did not. Also, it only works with the car's nav and that means you cannot use Google Maps or Apple Maps. I agree that the bolsters are a little on the tight side, but not uncomfortable for me. At least I didn't find myself slouching to one side like in our Bolt EUV which has wider spacing for the bolsters. Infotainment is super responsive, but does seem a little obtuse when you're looking for a setting. And lots of people complain about the speedo being behind their left had rather than in the center. Not a real problem for me, but the center would be better. And finally, every time I open or close a window, I toggle the child safety locks with the heel of my hand. We don't often have people back there, but the time we did, I had them locked in and didn't know it. I totally agree with your comment on the DCFC pin cover. I'm going to have to modify that. It was the single biggest pita on our trip. A very minor pain, but a kind of a Chinese water torture kind of a pain, that has no excuse. But on the important points of comfort, efficiency, range, charging speed ... a home run.

The most important thing to a new EV owner is if that charger fits to the charger pint physically, they all have different plugs so how do I know if I can change my Tesla there? Please make a video referring to if I can use those charger in what car!

Is it still true that the break lights only come on during regen if it's in B mode, and not the other modes ?

I just used the navigation and it lost the charging locations. As with a lot of GPS it would not send me to charging locations or loose the points of charge. Drove from Cal to Ok..

@theaverageev Where did you purchase those wheels? They look so nice on the car and I’m looking to get the same! Did you buy online? If so can you provide the link?

good thing you survived the accident

We have a 2023 ID.4 and find simply reversing into a parking spot using the camera is quicker than using the self parking system, which is much slower.

Most people overestimate how much range they need on a daily basis and therefore, how much charge they need. I have used level one for 6 years with my Leaf. And I have the timer set for 5 hours, from 2AM to 7AM. That gives me more than enough electrons for my daily commute plus some side trips here and there. We have cheap off-peak rates, so I spend about 85 cents a day to charge at home. Do I care how fast its charging from 2-7 while I'm sleeping? - NO. The very odd time that I need a top-up during the day, we have Level 2 chargers all over the city. Some are free to use while shopping, dining etc, and the city had a bunch of Flo chargers installed that cost 1.50 per hour to use, so I might spend 50 to 75 cents a month on public charging. D.C. fast charging is almost never necessary - saves money and battery life.

Yxuk supporting this market just get a hybrid dawg

Serious question. Not a hater. What a CHEVY vehicles have a nice interior? The ones I have been in seem very poor quality materials with uncomfortable seating. Thanks.

Ventilated seats is just perforated and not air conditioned right?

3LT w/ SuperCruise is exactly what I'd get. And sunroof. That actually opens. Can't believe some reviewers spinning the magnifying-glass only roofs on most EV's as a given.

No car play is just silly. Over 50% of Americans own an iPhone

Pre-congratulations!!!

Once you’ve had it for a while, I’d like to see an Equinox vs ID.4 video. Which do you like better? I’ve been considering an ID.4 but I do kind of like the Equinox (especially the higher range).

Congratulations! Do you have any idea whether you have to subscribe to a Google service to use Google Maps?
