Lol fuck that

You're right, it is standard for cars in general, but that's my point. I can't say it's the case for all modern makers, but the one reference I can go off from is polestar and it has all that shit figured out and it's a new EV company (mostly/kind of at least). I don't know if its the same for companies like Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, etc. There's no reason not to change the dash settings when that's all stored in a computer now unlike back in the day where the head unit and heat controls with separate entities entirely from the seat settings. It just seems like a hold over from how things used to be done.

I know the shit I laid out are all updatable with a software update to add toggles and I've heard guesses that that fishtailing is an issue with torque vectoring or something (bad tire choices could be part too, but it drives fine in snow). Its still a problem for a legacy vehicle maker that should have it more figured out than they do right now.

Sure that's fair, and I can't even say that's because they're a legacy car maker, but my polestar has that shit locked in. I think some of that is because they're legacy, and some are just stupid decisions or lack of respect for the driver. I just wanted to highlight some things I personally fine "wrong" with Kias in my experience. I won't get one again

Its personal preference. It make the drive a lot less smooth for me. It always slows down way too early and has me brake for things that I don't need to brake for. It slammed the brakes for someone in a turn lane and people braking and moving over where I can move over a little and be fine. I don't passively drive and notice the unnecessary slow downs constantly.

There's a lot to like, but also a lot of frustrating stuff. We have a EV9 gt line. The paddles to change regen breaking is nice, but it doesn't save the setting in between sessions for some fucking reason. It also doesn't seem to save a lot of personal preference to the driver profiles, it saves mirror and seat positions, but not audio or temp/fan settings. The drive settings (snow mode, etc) doesn't persist for some reason either. It fishtails constantly if its remotely slippery out in the winter. It feels like it's trying to throw me off the road. And there seemingly no options to use regular cruise control and only has adaptive cruise, which I fucking hate.

What the fuck

Did he have a stroke typing that or am I out of the loop with wrestling lingo and it makes sense to people?

"Protect" and serve by needlessly endangering literally anyone in the vicinity. Classic

As long as he keeps saying he's a free speech absolutist, we have to believe him.... Right?

I'll be honest, I'm a bit jealous of his confidence.

I'm in the camp that think cars headlights should basically work like motorcycle headlights. If the car is running, the lights are on. There's basically no reason to have them off in general use, it only makes you more visible, even in nice weather.
