Man Who Hates EVs Buys EV. What Will Go Wrong?

Something doesn't seem right. Is it CCS to NACS?

4KW is technically on the lower end of level 2 though.

CCS to NACS.

Yes, the something that isn't right is it's Tesla junk.

Would not be surprised if Tesla is throttling non-Tesla.

I took the adapter out of the car. I'll never use it.

Just wanted to test it out.

My NACS native Ioniq 9 hasn't had an issue at Tesla Superchargers so far up to 120 kW, so I wonder if the adapter might be the issue. But I only tested Tesla out briefly due to 60 cents per kWh off peak in Alberta (less in BC).

I despise Elon Musk but Tesla Superchargers are the only way for me to charge at over 100 kW between Edmonton and Kamloops via Jasper.

There is no way I'm giving another dime to a Nazi. Even the 70 cents I spent was far too much...and shame on me.

Sales are down 60%. Profits for 2025 are less than half of previsions. Two core models get axed. Elof building humanoid robots. Stock goes ... up.

I've lost faith in the stockmarket.

My partner would likely be supportive of taking 2x longer to charge to avoid padding Elon's pockets. Our Ioniq 9 charges at a maximum of 126 kW at 400V chargers like Tesla V3 anyway.

Would hardly call the Model S and X core models. They made up a tiny percentage of sales since the 3 and Y were introduced.

Core as in foundation - the S created the brand - way beyond what the very niche Roadster could do.

Update:

Level 2 plug being installed next week. It was doable on 120v for my 3 day a week part time job. But barely. Which I had figured on from the onset. Unfortunately, my basement is completely finished and the only way to get plug to front of house is outside. Cost is $2k with the best wire, conduit, plug, box, etc

Passenger side radiant heater seems to not be working. Not looking forward to dealer visit. Which brings me to another point: If the Prius broke (somehow), I (or someone like Firm, Blur911, etc) could repair it. Replacing an engine or even battery could be done by a competent shade tree mechanic in their garage. Barring that, any Indy.  Not so with this vehicle. So you are absolutely tied to a dealer for anything more than brake replacement.

Vehicle is quiet. And so choosing tires that are quiet becomes more important. The OEM tires are getting loud. They have 50k on them.

Looking OVER the steering wheel is fine. And I'm short-ish. It's "different", so maybe that's why the complaints.

Android Auto annoys me with a couple of things. Might be just me not knowing the functionality.

Car had no glove box. But a rather large storage area below the console. So I added a divider to it.

There's one indy mechanical in the Calgary area that specializes in EVs. Something worth looking into.

Since I got my Ioniq 9, there's been this really annoying sound of something rolling around and I could not for the love of me find it, then my partner discovered it was the ball in the level indicator on the child seat. We're buying a seat with a liquid bubble level indicator. I do like that we can whisper to each other at highway speeds when we're trying not to wake the toddler.

No glove box seems to be an odd omission.

Used to it from Porsche!  LOL 😆

But it was omitted for the radiant heater.

Truth be told, I don't put much in my glove box anyways.

It has this space under the "floating" console (like Volvo)
