- Here's my average consumer review and general impressions of my new 2024 Kia EV9! I will do some future content that includes charging, driving, and everyday living with this electic SUV.
If you're thinking about a Tesla Model Y, Model X, Cybertruck, Lightening, Rivian R1T or R1S, this should give you a bit of a comparison.
Please keep an eye out for my future content - I usually record on the weekend and try and post when I can on the weeknights. #kia #ev9 #tesla #rivian
PS- Not getting a Cybertruck. 👎

Really enjoy your vids and outlook on why you buy cars. Keep it up and I hope more people see your content.
I appreciate that!
Love the EV 9, but looking for over 400 range! Still waiting! Have 3 I love! Need RV to replace ICE toyota.
@@donasselin9223 you road trip a lot! 😄
ho thats pretty you geting men i love it so youknow ha ha no kidding you Welcome buddy
rignhin i know that is very so you know
I just purchased my wife an EV9 wind this past Saturday and I was SO impressed that I am now shopping for one to buy for myself and trade in my Mach-E. It’s a REALLY nice EV.
Nice review, I have had an EV6 for around one year now and can't say a bad thing about it, I'm achieving better than advertised energy consumption, no probs whatsoever !!!
Awesome to hear, I think Kia is doing great with their EV's. They are in it to take some market share for sure. If they can work out a couple of easy quirks, like the 1 pedal drive setting I mentioned, they are going to grab some Tesla loyalist.
@@SammyGeekMore than 90% of Tesla customers stay with Tesla, 90% of Tesla sales is to new customers! Meaning: EV sales take sales from combustion car sales to a much larger degree than they compete with each other right now. Demand for good EVs at competitive prices, far exceed production right now, and probably will until a few years after all new car sales are EVs (ICE sales will crash faster than EV production can catch up, so even after 100% new car sales are EVs, there could be growing sales until production catches up to demand).
@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 For sure, and prices of EVs are becoming better and better!
I never understood the difficulty in hitting the regen flap once when grabbing the steering wheel. I personally don't like ipedal. Love my EV6 1 year in as well.
@SammyGeek Have an EV6 as well. And the Meridian sound system is a big disappointment. Compared to my 2019 Stinger no comparison. The heads up display is also not clear. Again compared to my Stinger it's like night and day!!
EV9 looks gangster in that color.. nice pick!
Haha, thanks!
Every EV is a gangsta until you take it on a Road trip :)
2:31 same happened to me 5 weeks ago. Went in to check out a Kia EV6 GT-Line. 3 weeks later I traded in my Kia Stringer GT and took the EV6 home. And it was the right call. I'll be able to charge at home soon (2,5kW for now but that's enough since the car is standing most of the week) so my "fuel" costs will drop to 20% of what i paid for gasoline for the Stinger. But it was still an awesome car as the EV6 is.
Haha, love it!
I don't own an EV yet, but am soooo close. Even though the Y has been around for some time, it still looks modern/clean. That said, seeing the EV9 next to your Y, the EV9 just looks so much better. I want space for camping/dogs/hiking, so the EV9 is now #1 on my list, but given the history/reliability/simplicity/infrastructure of the Y, I'm still thinking about holding out for the refreshed Y.
Unless you need a full size 3rd row, and big towing, I think that is a wonderful choice! That refresh will be niiiiice!
Thanks for the video. I think this seals my interest in de-badging the back of my EV9. Looks good.
For sure. This should have been done from the factory to set itself apart from gas models. One, logos should be black. Two, should just say EV9 on the back. Clean and modern.
Great video. It's a shame the Tesla fanboys can't accept that you like the EV9 AND Teslas. It's all or nothing with those guys. Kinda silly, actually.
Hahaha, 100%
I have a Model Y LR, that I love. But the second I first saw the EV9 in photos and then in person after I sat in one at CES (Vegas) in January, I concluded it is the world's first ESUV that will appeal to the general (large family) public. It's a great people carrier that happens to be an EV, and going to do a lot to give cred to the EV revolution. Looks great in graphite!
I know! I have the ev9 and a tesla model 3 performance. I love both, but to tesla fan boys, there's nothing better than a tesla. My ev9 has better autopilot, and the interior quality is better. I, myself, feel it's more accurate with range. The ev9 also looks so bad ass.
Great review, we just picked up the EV9 same color exterior, although I was sooooo against EVER owning one, this thing has TOTALLY changed my opinion of EV's. There seems to be a lot of Bells & Whistles we're still learning, please share tips, functionality it's so much to learn! THANX FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!
Congratulations! Love the new EV9 and wish we had waited for it, purchased the EV6 in 2022 and love it but like the ride height and flexibility of the EV9. I’m sure improvements will only make EV’s even better and looking forward to that. We love how quiet and comfortable our EV6 is to drive compared to our Honda Ridgeline which we thought had engine issues it seems so loud now, lol! Good luck and enjoy your new ride!
Thank you for the comments. The EV6 is another great choice. My biggest thing was needing towing capacity and cargo room like a truck.
Loved the video. I'm in the same exact position. We have two Ys, but getting rid of one to get the EV9. Hoping to have it delivered from OH in the next week or two. Soooo much cheaper to buy there compared to CA. Thanks again.
Proud owner of Ocean Blue Land and loved everything about this car, and I am coming from many MDX and Q7, I took a test drive Y a with my friends and within 5 minute I handed over the RC toy car with iPad back to my friend. I hated Tesla Y. I will never ever ever ever buy a Tesla. Remember the outlet device in EV9 Frunk, for 5 days, I could not figure out what it is lol, it is basically, hou can power on your house, your camper or even charge another EV. Brilliant!. the few things I am very skeptical about Ev9. 1). walk away lock, I have never locked my previous cars by touching the lock on handle and don't understand why did Kia left it, EV9 is one of the few cars with Apple's Digital Key but no walk away locking? 2). why not include manual key inside the fob, it is a separate key and Social media is full of driver being stranded due to 12V battery died and without it, you can not unlock the vehicle and only way you can get in the vehicle to open the frunk to get to battery terminal is via manual key and guess what it is not with you, it was stored else where because you thought why do I need to carry a key or even fob when I have got Apple's digital key and Kia connect app. lol. I found this scenario very scary and to avoid , not being in this situation, I bought a very small magnetic key box and hide it underneath frame with manual key and wrap that box with good quality water proof duct tape, just in case and bought a 12 battery jump box from Costco, charged it and put it in trunk. as you said in your video about vehicle doesn't keep your iPedal setting, I think it does but up to lvl1 and lvl 2 not lvl 3 which is iPedal. To be honest as I am coming from maxima, MDX and Q7 and my 80-90% driving use to be based on pedal shifter, I hardly use to drive with normal way. which gave me a a very good practice, give it a try, you will love it. I mainly drive EV9 on express way with lvl 0, so car simply glides on exp way with very minimal pressure from my feet, but as soon i am on the ramp to exit the exp way, i go on left paddle shifter to lvl1 and then 2 and in case I need to bring the vehical to complete stop, I will go on lvl3 and without touching break I can go on and on like this, I am glad I have manual button or paddle shifter to control regen, not like Tesla, which I think once you enable on ipad lol, it is always on, unless you got o car setting in iPad and toggle it off. I also heard if you are using regen all the time, you might gain few extra miles on every trip but because of the drag on wheel rolling, it shorten the life of tires. Not sure. by the way I saw you use android so Apple key is not an option for you, i dont even need my phone to unlock or drive the EV9, my Apple Watch is more than enough. Sorry for long comment, I am just too excited about EV9, by the way if not done, buy Avalon Diamond G.O.A.T ceramic coating (DIY) but must clean the car with isopropyl spray, my car is super hydrophobic, nothing stay on my car paint
I've been driving EVs for almost a decade and I prefer two pedal operations and coasting a lot. On our old RAV4 EV, we have a breaking drive mode, that we can switch into and out of for a more regenerative one pedal operation that I appreciate. Thanks for your review.
I know it was a hard decision, but your Kia is NICE bro. Congrats! God bless and drive safe.
Thank you! Yep, sort of took the plunge with them.
My neighbor had a Model 3 for about a year or so, they got ride of it do to range in winter. He is an engineer for the military, jet after burners.
Wow! How many miles did they drive daily?
We have an EV6. The 1 pedal drive setup annoys me as well. Just save the settings dammit. Indeed app can be better but they have been improving since 2022 so that feels great looking forward. Otherwise awesome! If life and wallet allows ev9 is on my radar. Thanks for this!
Haha, for sure in the 1 pedal. No rush, enjoy the EV6!
Not really sure if saying that an ICE vehicle sounds like the engine is going to fall apart when warming up is not even remotely accurate IMO. But your video and yeah I am an EV fan as well...
Man, my last ICE truck sounded rough when I didn't let it warm up enough in Minnesota, haha.
Often seen parked with other cars, the EV9 seems to be in a different era all by itself. Very futuristic design.
What a nice car! I got a Light Long Range model, and I love it! I test drove mercedes GLS, BMW x7, lexus tx, nothing got me excited that much as the ev9.
6 year Tesla owner, traded it for a Renault Scenic here in the U.K. an awesome new EV.
Tesla is now having real competition, and its offer here in the U.K. is now too expensive for what’s on offer (they are much more than in the USA).
Excellent video Sammy and thank you so much for sharing your experiences but isn't the Kia EV9 itself a first-generation EV? Or is it built on the same platform as the EV6?
Amazing SUV, congrats!
So far, so good!
at 6:46 when he says if you do like 200 Miles a day then you should stick with a gas car....
I work as an Uber driver and I do about 400 Kms a day in my EV and I don't have a problem with it, yes I plan a full charge session around my day as an Uber driver, I go offline to do a full charge than am back on the road, and quite frankly I can comfortably do 400 km litterally with ease...my EV can do 480 km on a single charge, I have tested it, and have found it to be quite acurate....my EV is the BYD Atto 3, yes I do use A/C...
But all in all, a nice vid keep up the work, I might consider checking out the EV 9 for my 5th car in my fleet of electric vehicles, am looking at buying 4 cars BYD Atto 3 (5 seat), BYD Tang (7 Seat), Tesla Model Y (5 Seat) & the Tesla Model X (7 Seat), but would also like to get a 5th but the 5th NOT SURE as to which EV it should be
Yeah, I'm mostly saying that for the naysayers. It can be done easily.
@@SammyGeek am checking out the Kia EV 9 n few days when I come back from Sydney, and just having a look at the vehicle, see how much room there is in it, and see if I should get the EV9 as my 2nd car or the Tesla Model Y...but in the vid it clearly shows that there is room, have seen one while driving past the dealership the other day, it looks big, and this vid is anything to go by I could be looking for a big surprise....but NOT sure as to which way I would be going until I have a look at one....the EV9 or the Model Y..
I want to trade MY for this so badly but I'm nervous about the EA network and Kia's software... That one pedal driving thing you mentioned at the end would drive me INSANE!
Doing the same in a 3 months. Ordered in January mine. Pebble grey is slick
Niiiice!
Model Y is a CRV, RAV4, Tucson sized SUV, not a direct competitor to the EV9, which is a true 3 row mid sized SUV. Wish you could have compared it to the Model X? Still great review....
For sure, I owned a Model X! I should have talked more about that.
Nice video and car. 100% agree on the throttle adjust while using lane keep.
Great review. I have decided to purchase one, but I am waiting for the end of the year special sales event. As this will be my first EV, I find myself watching reviews like yours to get a better feel for my decision.
Look into the charging network. Not just the car though. That’s my one big issue.
Hmm, is'nt Tesla open for everyone? Only an Adaptor is needed...in Europe not even this, since CSS2 is Standard even for Teslas @@ka124as
One pedal driving is reset in order to maximize efficiency. In all other modes, if you are doing a constant speed (like highway) it can actually disengage the front motor to reduce resistance. But if you have one pedal set, it cannot do this and that motor stays engaged. This is mainly why it resets each time.
Still, they shouldn't mess with that...but I can see why they do.
@@SammyGeek It's very silly but they have to keep the "default" at level 3 to achieve certain efficiency levels for EPA testing. The one pedal is less efficient in the EPA testing and because they want the most efficient test it can't remain as the default otherwise it must be tested that way.
@@MilesSzkodais this still the case? I think that may be a deal breaker for me.
@@MilesSzkoda tesla Model X has it on all the time and it’s more efficient.
@@jisc0you have to flip the left paddle once when you turn on the car every time to enable the max braking-level regen. It defaults to level 3 which is a lot of regen still, but not a dead stop; with this car the iPedal max level braking isn’t the most efficient because they have to enable both motors to be running to use it with the AWD. The lower levels are more efficient and not having regen on can be efficient depending on conditions as well. The steering wheel paddles control regen levels so it’s pretty simple to switch as needed and there is also an auto setting.
The only downside for this car is the public charging network - CCS1! And of course the price!
Not as convenient as Teslas network, but a few are open for public use around me... As far as price, that's relative. If you want a proper 3rd row EV with 5000 pound towing what is your cheaper option?
What’s the deal with American charging? In the UK some Tesla chargers can be used by other cars now too.
@captainmakai Yep, same here...I have a couple Tesla chargers nearby that I can use to charge this truck. Network of public chargers is not too bad around my area either.
@@captainmakaiThe US has two separate connectors.... NACS and CCS1.
too me if you want a full size suv this is what you buy i love the look and size i keep my old acura mdx just to have but i like driving the cross over's more cuz you can drive more aggressive my model y handels better than my bmw 3 series i had and I love the instant tourqe and the way it handles yet you still have so much room for storage
That Kia interior is way ahead of Tesla's
I enjoy them both, but yep, totally different!
Buttons everywhere, no thanks!
No doubt!
@@laezbuttons are way better than only a touchscreen.
Looks like a great vehicle - my only concern would be charging on a road trip (admittedly I'd home charge 95% of the time) but my wife would love it
Yeah, same goes for any non Tesla...I hear ya.
This is the globally the only real big SUV EV. And it is awesome. We don't get Rivian to Europe and Tesla is so much different I don't count it. I am currently with Rav4 prime but will need bigger car in future. Likely waiting for Land cruiser EV because Toyota experience has been very good. Toyota has 10y and 350tkm battery warranty in Europe
The Kia EV9 is definitely better if you need a bigger car.
Soon the Cadillac Vistiq will be here for more luxurious competition.
Yeah, I saw that! Lightyears out of my league.
Great video traded in a 2024 bmw 5 series hybrid for the EV9 same colour 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Very nice!
This may not be an apple to apples comparison based on past to present, but with the Model Y, Rivian, and EV9, can you let me know in terms of insurance, what was most cheapest to most expensive? Thanks!
Oh man, I'd have to check records but the Kia was not as cheap as I thought!
I agree. Default ONE PEDAL DRIVING, KIA.
100%...they really need to update this ASAP. Killing the experience.
@@SammyGeek When I test drove the EV9, it defaulted to 1 pedal driving when I started the car. Is it possible there is a setting for this?
It doesn't default to 1 pedal under any circumstance. You likely bumped the paddle. 😢 Single biggest reason I won't keep this truck.
I respectfully disagree. One major issue I was shocked you did not cover in your review is the regen functionality.
In other EV's regen is ALWAYS on and just completely kills the driving experience when you really don't need the additional range. In fact, when I drove the R1S, the nose of the Rivian dipped hard every time I took my foot of the accelerator (like I was slamming on the brakes) creating a very annoying jerky feeling while driving.
The EV9 lets YOU choose what level of regen you want - from level 0 (none) to level 4 (high)...In the Tesla and Rivian you CANNOT choose - WHY is it always on? Level 0 driving in the Kia is unbelievably smooth.
Total DEAL KILLER - for this reason alone I would choose the Kia over both.
@aneshmehta7144 Great feedback, but in my case I can control the throttle perfectly, and don't fully let off unless I need full regen. The solution is let the customer choose and stay in that setting.
IMHO, smart move! Congratulations 👏
It's rock solid so far!
Love Tesla technology! Been wishing for real RV not the X, although nice. Elon should have put out EV instead of cybortruck! Big market and progression mistake!
Man, I have to agree!
Great review. Was it easy to remove the Kia badge off the back? Can the same be done on the front?
Back comes off but would leave holes...
Your comment about preferring to manually keep distance is so funny to me. I think I’m the opposite and prefer adaptive cruise control and maintaining far distance on the highway and manually keeping in the lane, though this car seems to be good at keeping in lane drivers in LA don’t care about lane lines and will side swipe you no problem.
How much did you get when you traded in your model Y? Was it done through Kia or sold somewhere else? I have a model 3 and was looking to trade it in for an EV9 as well.
It’s interesting that on every single Kia, Hyundai, and Genesis EV forum, everyone has been complaining about the issue you mentioned of the regen turning off when you turn the car off or when you go into reverse for two years now. So far, the Hyundai Motor Group, parent of these companies, has not done anything about that. They’ve finally started to address the lack of wireless CarPlay, but have yet to make that retroactive to older models in the U.S. hopefully they will do so.
For a family, the EV9 is just much more practical car. The model X was something special but for family, traditional design just works better.
The EV9 . Has to be the most impressive car there! Much better looking than a boring Tesla.
We’re thinking of trading our X for an EV9 or R1S. The x just feels so small and cheap, plus we can’t use that 3rd row really
The only thing I don't like is not being able to get 7 seats in the GT Line model.
About the app…if you keep this car for over 3 years Hyundai charges you a yearly fee to use remote start etc. it’s about $300-$400 a year for the “connectivity” it’s total BS.
They won't get away with that forever. Competition will force them to capitulate.
Interesting!
In some alternate universe this may have made sense but the Model Y was the best selling vehicle in the world in 2023 & will likely do the same in 2024. Also the safest car in the world btw.
Sammy Sammy, come on, I have been driving a Tesla for 5 years, as good as new and with OTA upgrades it is now even better. To start with the KIA EV9 cost at least $20.000 more than a Tesla Model 3 or Y. Its weight is a waking over 700 LBS more. Its 0 to 60 MPH is much slower, its top speed is 25 MPH less, and its electric consumption cost you around 30% more, while its crash test proves that it is nowhere as safe as the Tesla. Now I have a question to ask, since you are so knowledgeable on cars, perhaps you owe us an explanation, and tell us why you punished yourself, was it for money? or some other obscure reason?
I needed a truck for towing and wanted a bigger vehicle while I wait for my Cybertruck.
You left out the part the the tesla is a boring jelly bean , in comparison who cares about the horsepower over function and design? Tesla's looks old school compared to almost every other ev especially the kia.
I do like the EV 9, sans the million buttons. Model X for me with the same towing capabilities and way better kiddo loading and entertainment!
Charging infrastructure. Also, new charging standard..... Downside to any other car but Tesla at the moment.
100%
Great review. How quite is the interiors and suspension.
Interior is very nice! Quality is super top notch
How’s it going now 4 months later? Do you find yourself hopping into the Tesla or the EV 9 when you have a choice?
Nice video bro. Coming from a MYP owner. Wouldn’t trade it 😅
Yeah if I didn't need a bigger truck, I'd stick with the Model Y.
Great review! What color is this?
Pebble Gray, I think they call it...
you mentioned you didn't want to get into a first gen vehicle.. isn't this first gen?
Haha, good point...I meant for the Rivian.
I would miss so many things replacing my Tesla. Like efficiency, low cost maintenance, netflix, yt, disney+, fsd, eaze of use (profiles vs. outdated KIA 2 profile memory seats) and so much more. Don't get me wrong, KIA does a good job and has good standard warranty like Tesla. But it feels just old in so many ways.
But if you can't afford a Model X and need a vehicle that tows 5000 pounds with a 3rd row (space), your choices are limited.
Tesla gets too hot in summer due to the bad design of the whole roof being glass like wtf
@@mercury683 If that was the case, no one would buy a Tesla in Arizona or Australia. I remember seeing a test that showed only marginal temperature difference between the tinted Tesla glass roof and a metal roof. Since you can remotely cool the interior down, it's no problem anwyway.
@kafiluz4317 but that is what their complaints are mostly about, that it gets really hot in summer.....my car windows are tinted and I still get hot when the sun shines on it, imagine the sun beating down on the whole roof
Same actions as me with Cybertruck and canceled my order. Looking at leasing a R1S now for 2 years and see where things are at then. EV9 is my second but storage concerns. Tired of Tesla's lack of interior and cabin features.
Yeah....they lost me with the Cybertruck marketing project.
Smart man, the Model X is more more expensive too.
Thanks! X is cool, but a little outdated and looked a little silly towing a big pontoon. Also, I really wanted to try something other than another Tesla.
@@SammyGeek I really think the Koreans are on top of the EV game, there's the Chinese too, but we don't know enough about them.
Nothing looks good towing a pontoon
Hahaha best comment ever! Lmao😂@Mynameisgus94
Model X, outdated??
I did the same thing ın my country Turkıye but my EV9 AWD select DC charging ports which is ınacceptable
Have you charge this thing on a Tesla supercharger? What is the rate of charge on it? Is it still having issue like the Ev6 where it only charge under 100kw?
Not yet...I need to try it!
Maybe take off the tesla hat and hoodie (and banner) when doing a kia video. 🤷♂ Great video though. 😎
I love the interior color. 👍
Pro and con of EV9 and Model Y
Pro Look good and built quality Low energy consumption, best auto pilot software, super charge network, nimple and good road handling
well know for good safety records, impressive 0-60 speed, best software, longer range, lower price than most
competitors.
Con High energy consumption, not as good auto pilot, Too many of them on the road
no super charge network, feel big and not numble,
unknow safety records, slow 0-60, short range battery,
Good thoughts!
How are you able to type with your hands so tightly wrapped around Elon's schlong?????
I love the Rivian r1s. Just too expensive
EV9 is way better except in aerodynamic.😊😊
It's more efficient than I thought which is good so far.
im going to get one next year for sure once they build this thing in USA to get those fed credits with NACS port.
100%
Thought I saw them doing a 7500 credit
I like it:) Don't like dealers at all so that stops me dead in my tracks:(
Trust me, I hear ya, hahaha. My dealer was shockingly good.
So you didn’t traded in the tesla! Huh? WTH tesla doing next to EV9?
Ha, mentioned in the beginning...that's my Wife's!
Lol got ya!
Nice. What are the interior and exterior colors?
Pebble gray and brown/black interior.
Excellent vehicle I have the Ev9 and Ev6
Nice!
I liked your vid. Thanks
i could never drive this with having to remember to turn on one pedal driving i bought a model y and never had a problem i feel like one pedal makes way more sense dont understand why they act like people need to get used to it press to go ease off to stop
It's freaking annoying.
If i was not anti electric I'd consider getting one
Have they changed how the one pedal driving setting goes away?
Did I miss the price you paid for this EV9 ?
no he doesn't say
I didn't say because there's some variables. I did a short lease this go round.
I went to kia dealer to lease ev9 i checked 3 units and they all had something not working i loved the car but i cant take something with broken parts from the get go it was not a good sign so i left without leasing but i loved the car but i guess it was not for me from God he gave me a wrong signal tell me guys did i do right or wrong when specially i bought kia once before and it turns into lemon law claim
What was the cost of the vehicle
Not MSRP, I can tell ya that!
I just traded in my model 3 for an i5. I can’t get over the difference in quality and comfort. We are now trading in my wife’s model y for a hybrid Tiguan as the Y feels so cheap and rattles and squeaks so bad that it’s unbearable on long journeys
I did the same thing in Turkıye but my EV)9 AWD GT line is selectıng DC charge statıon which is ınacceptable
Can the EV9 use the Tesla Home Charger?
R1s is larger and more luxurious than an ev9
Did you see my Rivian video? Also, agreed, but it's much more expensive. This Kia is a hell of a vehicle.
tezla, scammers, give me back my money for not delivering the vehicle to me and for scamming me out of the costs of accessories for this scrap metal, I will advertise for you until I get my money back and by the way, this happened in February 2022
Haha
U didn't receive your vehicle?
cheated on me that shitty company
I'm surprised you can't turn on heated and cool seats on your app. I own a 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige and I have the option to turn on the heated and cool seat and heated steering wheel when I start the car. The option to turn on the heated windshield which the Sportage hybrid has isn't available but defrost is available.
Right! It seems so silly. I'm hoping they update it soon before winter is over haha.
Ev9 is not worth 80,000. I'd rather buy a new model Y for 45,000. Waste of money.
No one is paying anywhere near 80k. Not a chance I'd buy one in that case...
@@SammyGeek exactly. I'm leasing this EV9 for over 100 less than a MY
Door handles are bad when it snows and freezes
Tesla new model X is coming in 2026!😊
That will be interesting!!
Oh word?
What do you do for work to afford all those awesome cars?!
Years and years of saving and equity!
@@SammyGeekBut like what career?
After watching the Race to Vegas on out of spec you definitely downgraded.
Of course they welcome you with open arms they wanted you to buy a car. 😆
I will never set foot into a Kia dealership again in my life. Their business practices could be considered criminal and the lack of legal enforcement allows them to continue ripping customers off. The icing on the cake was the Canadian Kia execs deciding to hold back customer deliveries in 2023 to conflate sales numbers for the year at the expense of people having paid for and waiting very long times for their vehicles. Telsa is very good and the ability to purchase online and skip the stealership BS is why I am going Telsa.
Oh man, sorry to hear your experience! Mine was extremely pleasant. I cringed thinking about my previous experiences.
@@SammyGeekHow much over MSRP did you have to pay for that vehicle? In Canada "mandatory" accessories are added with PDI reaching insane levels $3500 for example. Tesla website is a flat rate for Freight and PDI that all customers pay the same for.
What model ev9 is that?
Gt line
Autonomia e o problema dis carros electricos....530 klms por carregamento e pouco
I usually don't drive over 200 miles a day, and I just charge in my garage every couple days. Man, people must drive a lot every day when 250 miles of range is an issue.
@@SammyGeek cada caso e um caso e disponibilidade se ligacoes electricas num apartamento de cidade e ompossivel......melhor solucao atualmente sao os hibridos.....mas ja ha carros prevustos com autonomia de 1000 klms....ai e interessante os electricos puros
Everything but price
Yeah...I hear ya.
Really KIA is doing LANE ASSIST AND CHANGING LANES/Self Driving better than Tesla LOL BULLSHIT DUDE ITS OKAY YOU ARE GETTING PAID!!!
I'll make a video on it. It's good!! I've had full FSD before.
KIA EV9 and limited storage? 😂
Does Ev9 have FSD?
Looks very traditional. A little bit of a yawn...
looks so much better in person. makes model Y look like an ass to me.
Having owned it now for a couple of weeks, I agree, somewhat. It's still edgy, but I like how it flies under the radar a bit. Most don't even know it's an EV haha
I much prefer an EV that looks “normal”….different strokes.
