dark0821 05-15-2025 05:01 PM

why you guys hate it?

I saw the Ioniq 9 and I think it looks fine, totally not because I work for Hyundai, but I actually do like it, not love it, but it doesn't bother me....

red kryptonite 05-15-2025 09:19 PM

But that's why you're so good at your job though! You see the best in everything.

There are people out there who will want this thing, but none of us could ever help them get there, because we're so biased by our shit colored glasses lol.

bcrdukes 05-16-2025 05:33 AM

So, are you going to buy one?

JDMDreams 05-16-2025 07:21 AM

Well people on here are buying ix, this isn't that far off :suspicious:

BC manufacturer of of EV work vans and dump trucks (vmc) has gone out of business and is auctioning off all vehicles. Looks like they have 60 for auction. This is a YouTubers wet dream.

Would be cool to just get the box truck to start a local light delivery business.

JDMDreams 05-28-2025 12:21 PM

Would be cool to just get the box truck to be a starter home and not pay property tax.

I've never seen these, I've only seen those big bubble looking ones, not sure who makes them rivian? Amazon?

Made by Vicinity Motor Corp (VMC).

Vicinity Motor Corp. (VMC) EVs, specifically the VMC 1200, are manufactured in Canada, with the primary assembly location being Aldergrove, BC. While parts are sourced globally, the design and engineering are also done in Aldergrove. Vicinity Motor also has a US assembly plant in Ferndale, Washington.
Would be fun to buy one with no back section and built a tiny house on it.

Anyone taking 'advantage' of the Polestar 2 one year lease offer for $399?

*I think after fees it is more like $550 a month

JDMDreams 05-30-2025 03:57 PM

Wouldn't the 500e $139 a month lease be way more attractive, you can get like two for one

bcrdukes 05-30-2025 04:08 PM

Fiat 500e? AstulzerRZD enters the chat.

Ya but with the Polestar 2 you get quadruple the hp!

bcedhk 05-30-2025 04:24 PM

Is that still going on? On Fiat it’s showing as $106/week

So.... The X5 died.

We unplugged the car and it had 80% charge and left the house. We stopped a few km away from home to buy something. We came out to an inoperable car. The lights flashed and the dashboard flashed and the car shook, seemingly trying to start but could not.

Called BMW roadside, the tow truck came and jump started the car. The car started but lit up like a Christmas Tree. So the 12v was dead and the car has TWO of them.

Here's where the 45e is different. It doesn't have an alternator. There's a transformer that downsteps the hybrid battery power to 12v. Theoretically if the car is plugged in regularly, and the hybrid battery has charge it should never run out of 12v unlike Lexus/Toyota Prime.

Something is broken on my car. Likely the 12v is defective. I can't wait until we can shed the traditional 12v systems in these cars.

red kryptonite 05-31-2025 06:37 AM

damn that sucks. i hope its still under warranty.

yeah but the toyta / lexus will never leave you stranded :awwyeah:

as always, the worst part of german cars are their electronics and all fancy doodads. This is that "intangible" aspect of toyota / lexus ownership i was talking about, ive never had to be towed on any of my toyota products.

headhunt3r 05-31-2025 07:55 AM

Didn't dark's prius left him unable to start cuz his 12v died.
