My wife and I are looking at options for roof storage for a #Kia#Telluride S.
For context, we are not really outdoorsy people so this space would basically be used for luggage, cooler, air mattress, etc when going on trips. We have three kids so one is always in the third row and we don't want to always have to put a seat down and shove everything in beside the poor kid.
I know that I would need crossbars if I'm going to do any sort of cargo box so I have some in mind (Snailfly)
😹 It'll be cosmically hilarious if a Kia car ends up putting the final nail on Tesla
「 The timing of the sighting is particularly significant given recent news that Tesla may have canned its plans for a $25,000 mass-market “Model 2” vehicle. Elon Musk reportedly mothballed the affordable EV in favor of going all in on the company’s plans for a fully autonomous robotaxi 」
Everything went splendid 😀 I was a bit afraid how the charging would work out, we had no issues at all. Mostly using #Ionity, some #Tesla#Supercharger to improve coverage near the end; one #EnBW in Germany.
"New Kia vehicles that have arrived from overseas are sitting on a storage lot in Wolverton, Ont., purposely locked up even though customers have been waiting months and months — some well over a year — to get their vehicles.
The new cars are being withheld from Kia's Ontario dealerships — and reportedly from many more across the country — as part of a controversial plan by Kia Canada to game the number of sales in the last six weeks of the year."
Not bad, second example so far today of a corporate spokesperson lying. The rule is: if a corporate executive or spokesperson's lips are moving, they're probably lying. This is #kia:
"She also wrote that the company is committed to ensuring "timely delivery" of customer orders "in 2023 and beyond."
"She did not explain how "timely delivery" coincided with deliberately withholding vehicles from sale."
In 2007, Canada started requiring all vehicles to have a cheap, effective anti-theft device. The U.S. didn't. Now, it is paying the price with a surge in Kia and Hyundai thefts.
So I stumbled upon an old facebook post of myself quoting Austin Osman Spare, and the phrase "Shark of their Desire" jumped out at me and made me think of #blahaj, so I couldn't resist making a meme from a photo of myself with my blahaj, and the AOS quote...
@BlackAzizAnansi Got 5k km in a #Kia#EV6 so far. Love it. It's bigger than I'd prefer, that's my only complaint. I mostly do motorway driving. Charging infra could be better (and marked on road signs) - I have to plan charging stops ahead instead of just pulling up at a station. But I tend to plan trips beforehand anyway. And it charges like a beast - can pull 240 kW current, fastest on the market right now.
Super-interesting form factor. I wish more car makers would accept that their fucking “MASSIVE CARS FOR EVERYONE” (ICE & EV) sales pitch is a huge part of the environmental problems
"But our customers want big-ass pickups and SUVs” — go suck a nut, I wonder why that is, you stupid fucks
@taoeffect Many hashtags missing in your post, but I guess Tesla clicks best? Tesla wasn’t the one with the sexual activity.
