After a 12 hour trip in my prius before I got my first EV I am fine with taking 20 minute breaks.

13:58 - Are those Magic Docks available at Tesla supercharger stations, or only available at Tesla destination charging stations?

Does V3.5 have bidirectional charging?

So a non Tesla car can not use a Tesla charger if you do not have a cell phone. Not so great.

Great presentation,Principal Bob. Tks. Rick/79yrs old/Seattle🥸

Drag racer will love it. NOT for me, however. My Limited AWD is plenty fast for me -and is big on comfort and convenience.

Hi Electric Principal, I love your content! I'm interested in discussing a potential collaboration. Could you let me know the best way to reach you? Thanks!😊

Excellent Video, you deserve 14 likes, sorry they only let me give 1, one pedal rules, just use it (learn it -1) and love it. Under stand the repeat on eco mode climate controls. TY for the repeat but just drive in Normal all good!

Great video!! I also have the Ioniq 5 and I find that charging to 90% does not take that much more time than charging to 80% with a fast charger. It seems to be that tower from 90 to 100% that really slows things down.

I appreciate you making this video. I just got my ioniq 5 a week ago

Great stuff. Got one on order for a 2025, wiper and 84 kwh bat. One other thing people should know, the worries of frozen door handles. Just hold the door unlock button down a few seconds and the window will open. I have seen a few videos complaining about frozen handles. Window frozen? Open the hatch. Hatch frozen? LOL Good job

Got my '24 Ioniq 5 Limited from your lot but bought it from Phil Long in COS (Abyss Black w/black interior and pre-tinted). I received none of this info. I should've driven up to you guys to buy it.

your video quality is amazing . There are many opportunities to grow your channel. If you want, I can work for your channel.thank you

Bob, with the short tenure of salespeople and their tendency to push gas cars, how can they be trained to deliver your very appropriate guidelines?

Thank you very much for taking the time to show us these features. It's too bad we can't use the HD option in Canada. It would be so useful.

My sales person didn't show any of this. It was a learning curve ro learn all the features

i get my ioniq 6 next week....these are great tips!

What is the differences between Eco and Normal Mode for a RWD Ioniq 5?

Our salesperson did not cover a single item on your list. Apparently the radar feature is not available on the base SE models, at least the 2022s.

You don't need to be in Utility Mode to run a external V2L adapter. Car can be completely off.

Is there a utility mode to save the 12V?

I love that doppler feature. Wish other vehicles had that.

This be a helpful video for Ioniq 5/6 newbies! My dealer didn't show me any of these, but I discovered 14 of them all on my own. The only one I didn't know about was the doppler radar. I just never imagined that it wasn't an option under the HD Radio section… since I never use HD radio. I have discovered another useful feature that you haven't covered: you can fold the cargo floor in "half," pull it out slightly, tip it up, and then insert it into angled slots on both sides of the frame that supports it. It really helps when you're trying to access items that you store under that floor!

These cars are awful. I’ve had two id4s and one was lemon law. Just got a flat and had no friggin clue there’s no spare tire. Electric vehicles are an effin scam. Stay away from vw id 4

Wonderful videos...but I have been searching for an answer to this: I purchased a used ID.4 (2021) software v3.1 and I cannot figure out how to clear a previous owner user. This is an ongoing problem as the software continually says sorry, you are a GUEST user. Help! I can't connect the external VW apps.

Why are Tesla chargers so slow? , Electrify America sucks, but when they work, I can get 150 KWH and go form 10% to 80% in 25 min.

Great info and well done KZbin presentation. 'Statement & question: I like visiting Yosemite Park, Lake Tahoe & the Mammoth ski area in the winter time and I live above 4000 MSL in the Tehachapi Mountains which experiences about 6" accumulation snow storms, but only for about ten days of the year. How useful would a rear-wheel-drive ID.4 be for me with all season, 3-peak rated tires and Konig snow-chains on the rear wheels only during the worst conditions with steep road grades? My primary concern is controlling the ID.4 during a steep descent on packed snow mixed with black ice. Thank you Electric Principle!

Can I start the AC from the Remote Control?

Hi Principal Bob! Question for you: how much more energy does the IONIQ 5 burn going up to the mountains? I live in Grand County, and I’m thinking of getting one…but I’m curious about mountain driving. I’d love to hear about your experience with mountain driving.

Usually preferred time only, I have struggled to stop charging my ID4 charging ahead of off-peak times. This is the clearest explanation of charging options I have ever seen and is very helpful thanks.

Technically, there is not "Level 3: charging. It is called DC fast charge. Also, why are you at a 350 kwh charger, when you can use a 150 kwh? Everyone should be courteous to use only the power they need!

you can't build that truck differently because of that material they choose

UK VW dealer handover, tick all these boxes on the form and here's the keys - bye.... :D :D I learnt more in this one video than days behind the wheel fiddling - thanks!

That's wild there's an iD.4 pulling a high profile trailer in the background as you are charging, wonder how that is going. You should have interviewed that person, would have been worth adding that video separately somewhere.

I wish I'd found you before we bought our 2024 ID.4 Pro S. I love the car. However, the abbreviated manual sucks... Heck, even the $50 full manual sucks because it does not cover any upgrades to the 2024 version. I'm going to take my tablet out to the car so I can watch and do. Thank you so much for doing these videos.

I’ve just purchased a 2024 ID-4 and am pleased that my wife found this video to begin my learning process. My question is ‘Are there any critical or useful differences between the 2024 and earlier versions of this vehicle?’ Also, have you by any chance produced any other videos on this model that I should watch.

The sad thing is that 5 months after your made this video, you can’t to anywhere from Colorado and have access to a Magic Dock-equipped Tesla Supercharger. There are none in New Mexico, 2 in Texas, none in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, 1 in Nebraska, none in the Dakotas, Montana, Utah, etc etc. The Magic Dock program has been an enormous bust for Tesla. I assume the reason they are not building any more Magic Docks is because they are waiting for EV makers to switch to the NACS connector, so there is no reason to build any more Magic Docks. Of course, this switchover will take years and meanwhile, none of us with CCS cars in these blank areas will ever get to use a Supercharger.

Well my 15 y.old car can do that, fully automated. Well not the memory thing, but if the spot still exists the next day, it will just park itself again anyway…

Just bought the Disney 100 Platinum Limited Ioniq 5! Can't wait to try out this feature! Love your videos - very helpful - keep them coming!

On Wisconsin

Thanks for the map thing #5

Great video. I should point out that it remained silent on Lane Assist which, when used in conjonction with ACC, is a 'baby Travel Assist.' Lane Assist provides some steering wheel input, while ACC provides the acceleration-deceleration input. Thanks

No way does anybody have a better autonomous system than Tesla! Tesla is light years ahead my good man.

Oh man! My IONIC 5 fob doesn’t have this

Thank you so much. This was great information as I start the adventure of home charging.

The fact that Tesla charging stations do not have LCD screens that try to provide information is surprisingly smart. I wanted to know everything, and I wanted to see it on the charging station. But then I started seeing BUSTED screens, which made me think that the entire charging station was not functional. So good insights by Tesla.

This is a really good video that explains the ID.4 charging scheduling system well. My one question is if you want to charge at off peak hours and battery is low, say 30%…what do you want the Direct Charge 0-50% to be set at to start the charge at off-peak hours? Do you set it to 0 to insure that charging will start at 30% and go to 80% during off-peak? Thanks for your help.

Thank you for sharing very informative

Matt Farah does a great take on the Cyber truck and it's not flattering or practical for a true truck person. The fit and fitment is terrible with many sharp leading edges that can lacerate.
