My sunglasses holder frequently pops open on its own. I think it is just a plastic piece that isn't connecting well to the latch mechanism, and seems to be exacerbated by hot weather (happens much more frequently when we had heat waves of 90+ or triple digits). Sometimes just the bump from...

The stock tires are definitely not up to the task. But with a decent set of tires, it might be fun...though the HP will run out quickly too.

This was while driving the vehicle (though it would not have mattered). I finally had the time to get to a dealer this morning and they told me there was basically no Freon left in the system and they recharged it. They also did various tests to try and identify a leak, but were unsuccessful...

Has anyone had any problems with the A/C system? Mine was working fine when I tried it out when we first got the car, but I haven't really used it since due to the moderate weather (and my desire to maximize efficiency). I tried to use it yesterday and it wasn't working. The fan was on, but...

Ditto (except mine is from Fremont Kia).

Never mind, I figured it out - there is an option to disable it, but it isn't under the "Siri" tab. For those that have had this issue, it is under "Settings -> Touch ID & Passcode". Sorry for replying to my own post...

I played with it a little bit more, and I think the problem is that I have a password on my lock screen. If I unlock my screen first, I can use it, but this sort of defeats the whole purpose. The whole point is not to be fumbling around with my phone in the car. It is the same with the "Hey...

I didn't spot them until I was about to make my turn, but I did try to give them a wave as they passed, though I'm not sure they saw.

Was pleasantly surprised to see black/red Soul EV on Monroe Street in Santa Clara this afternoon, right behind me. It is the first time I have seen another Soul EV on the road since I got mine a few weeks ago. Holler if it was you...

Has anyone gotten the Siri Eyes Free feature to work? When I long press the voice recognition button, I do get the Siri screen, but when I say something to try to get Siri to respond, I get an error message to "enable Siri" on my phone. Siri is enabled on my iPhone (works fine with the home...

This seems to correlate with my experience so far. I am averaging 4.3 mi/kWh very consistently, and my gauge shows 104 miles range after full charge. In fact, every trip for the last 10 days or so has been exactly 4.3, according to the History tab, which includes a mix of mostly suburban...

I should note that I had a mix of local and freeway driving both weeks, and I had noticeably lower mileage for both local driving as well as freeway driving with "ECO" mode engaged. Of course, as expected, freeway mileage was lower than local mileage, but EVO mode had a negative effect on...

I've only had the car for 2 weeks, but has anyone else gotten worse mileage in "ECO" mode? For the first week I had it in eco mode and was consistently getting about 3.7-3.9 miles/kWh. I turned it off the second week and was consistently getting 4.5-4.7 miles/kWh. I'm not sure what settings...

Even better would have been black leather with red piping...

This got buried in another thread, but here is a post with a couple pictures of my black/red Soul EV: http://www.mykiasoulev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=510#p510 I am pretty pleased with the color (no red stitching on the seats though). I do wish the wheels were also black/red instead of...
