    battery replacement in turtle mode

    What has your experience been with battery replacement? I have a confirmed case number for a new battery and have been waiting since early October. I have 50km of range and can only get home from work if I charge at work. Now that EV's are increasing in popularity it becomes a race to the...

    Tires on my new Kia suck

    I need to replace my tires as they are not safe. I like to drive a bit aggressively, nothing insane, but what I find is that with the added weight of the car there is substantial understeer. Has anyone changed their summer tires for other Kia rims and what tire combinations have you gone with?
