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...

Congrats on a nice deal. Out of curiosity, is there also a dispo fee when you return the lease (and/or any other fees)? This is our first lease and I just want to understand all the terms and conditions and see how truthful my dealer was being with me.

It is white with gray trim, and it does not appear to be a cover. Mine's a lease so I don't think I'm allowed to paint it, but I would have preferred it if they continued the black/red theme into the wheels and made them black with red trim. I think that would have looked pretty cool. Here's...

Not sure if this will work (my company blocks access to tinypic), but here are a couple of snapshots of my new Soul EV+. The color is a little quirky, but unique and suits me. Our daughter likes it, but our 12 year-old son is still on the fence.

The black/red models are starting to trickle in, though one dealer told me that Kia isn't planning on producing that color in great quantity (though that may change over time). I just picked up my black/red Soul EV last night (SF bay area). Haven't driven it much yet, but am liking it so far.

That's true, and both my company and my wife's company have chargers, though sometimes they are all taken. I'd like the convenience of being able to charge at home, and also for weekend trips. Seems like 110v charging is a little slow, unless you have a lot of time between trips.
