@TechnicallyJeff My bad I confused you with another video of a man showing exactly what I was describing. Promoting this as handsfree driving. I looked your video up thinking maybe there was a newer model with it. Again my bad lol
We finally got our telluride ex premium we ordered 4 months ago and we love it. It's a little confusing set up but finally getting it programmed. I would definitely recommend the telluride to anyone looking for an suv with plenty of room but not to big. I would give it 5 stars!!!!
@@TechnicallyJeff Awesome to hear. Look forward to seeing it. I realize it’s not to the level of autopilot, but no one has yet done a demo video of a fair comparison between the two.
Jeff I see you were in the Spotsy area in VA. I live in the Berg myself and I was wondering where did you get you EV6 because no one has them in Fredericksburg at all.
For the last several vehicles I've purchased, I email various dealerships the details of what I'm looking to do (vehicle they have that I want, trade info, finance terms, etc) and go with the best one. I got my EV6 from King Kia in Gaithersburg, MD. They seem to have inventory regularly. I worked with a manager there named Nan.
nice video! What happens if you don't touch the steering wheel after all those alarms are singing? does the car assume that you hare unable to drive and will it stop the car at the lateral of the road?
It's my understanding it will just disable the lane centering since cruise isn't set. If cruise it set, I have heard it will slow the car to a stop. Haven't tested that though.
thanks for the video! does the lane following keep on when moving slowly or even complete stop? I often need to stop-and-go during rush hour, wish the car can handle that too.
@@TechnicallyJeff that will so cool! Btw I just came across the owner manual and it mentioned that within 30s after complete stop automatic resume, after 30s, step on accelerator to resume.
I have the RWD WIND. $4,000 OVER list ($52K) and NO HOMELINK (chips I am told) and no heated steering wheel. I wanted the Tech trim but they didn't have one anyway. 310 mile range is actually more like 280 miles.
Its Strange how much the versions differ from country to country. I have ordered the RWD Long Range 229hk version with the tech upgrade pack. Aprox 5k$ and then i get ambient lights, LED matrix, heated steering, headup display, upgraded relaxion seats and the 360 cam, Park assist and Lane/drive assist. Basicly everything like the GT line model, exept the trim and audio. For 10k$ less then the gtline.
Do you have auto dimming mirror? swapping to one with Homelink should be pretty cheap, pretty much any Hyundai/Kia version should do it. Look for one on ebay. It is a bit more complicated if you do NOT have auto dimming mirror - then you will have to tap into power supply coming to the overhead OR tap it in the fuse box and route the wire to the mirror. BUT in this case, you should be able to get any mirror that fits your car's mirror adaptor which many companies share. I put homelink mirror in my wife's Rogue and I picked up the mirror from Ebay for like $25 and just needed to tap into a 12v and ground which was conveniently at near the overhead console.
It seems like lane following assist has to be turned on every time you turn on the car whereas lane keep assist stays on when you start the car next time. Has this been your experience?
@@TechnicallyJeff Not sure if my terms are correct. The only icon that is staying on for me is the one with the car and lanes. The steering wheel icon I have to turn on every time it seems.
This isn’t as good as FSD on a Tesla, naturally. But I do find it comparable to the autopilot in my Model 3. I prefer it in a weird way. I don’t need to babysit the steering wheel as much and it’s easier to engage and disengage. The biggest negative is that it only works over 40 mph. So local roads are basically a no go.
Yeah I'm definitely a fan. I don't take my hand off the wheel much and it does a great job on the highway keeping me in my lane. And I LOVE that cruise doesn't have to be set.
@@TechnicallyJeff Tesla promised Full Self Driving, 1000's of miles cross-country, and with no input from the driver. In 2022, FSD is nowhere even close to that! A senior Tesla software engineer even admitted that recently. Are you familiar with the Tesla Summon function? The car will come to you, from a parking lot. Summon has FAILED many times when tested. And the car just has to slowly drive thru a parking lot of *stationary* *cars* . If the Tesla can't handle that relatively simple task, what hope is there for FSD on crowded freeways and urban gridlock? Would you trust the *LIVES* of your family with FSD, if it is only 'pretty good'? Of course not! Anyone with experience in engineering or programming knows that Full Self Driving is an *enormously* difficult task. And Tesla removed the radar and lidar sensors (to save money?), which makes FSD practically blind. Musk's lies and hype put him on the level of a con-man or grifter. And of course his current behavior with the Twitter buyout is going to cause irreversible damage to his reputation, and HUGE financial penalties too.
Just bought a 2023 ev6 Wind and Lane Centering is terrible. Even holding the steering wheel on a straight highway, it will slowly creep to the right then shift to the left and start oscillating until it takes the car out of the lane - all while I have the steering wheel pointed straight ahead. It is actually dangerous. Very disappointing.
I am the owner of ev6 gt-line. I often drive on the Freeway and I can say with confidence that this car is dangerous! HANDS-FREE may turn off without warning, may turn off when there is a big bend in the road, may swerve in the lane! The car can also brake sharply when changing lanes at speed! But it won’t brake if a car hits you! My opinion is that this machine is trying to kill you!
Hands free isn't actually a feature. It just lets you take your hands off the wheel for short times. You should drive with your hands on the wheel. It also does notify you if your hands are not on the wheel. There is a beep. If your hands are on the wheel it doesn't beep because you're touching the wheel. As for braking, are you referring to when you try to change lanes as you're quickly approaching a car? It sounds like the auto emergency braking kicking in.
Helps tremendously if you need to take your hands off the wheel for something. I find it handy when eating. I don't have to drive with my knees lol. And with it going 1 min+ without intervention and all you need to do is touch the wheel to restart the timer, it effectively works for a long time.
@@TechnicallyJeff OK, like the Tesla then in that respect. I had the model S and you could take your hands off the wheel for a couple of minutes and then just touch the wheel to reset. Great!
It's awesome how well the HDA works and how long it will go without touching the wheel. Thanks for watching! Be sure to subscribe for more videos! 😀
Promoting this as handsfree driving is dangerous and giving others the wrong idea. Hope you're okay with cashing an accident.
@@jaymartinez6250 why would you day that? Lol. Clearly shows how long it goes without requiring input only
@TechnicallyJeff My bad I confused you with another video of a man showing exactly what I was describing. Promoting this as handsfree driving. I looked your video up thinking maybe there was a newer model with it. Again my bad lol
@jaymartinez6250 haha no problem
yes i would like you to go through the features a how to so to speak thanks
I'll be doing a full review with most features soon 👍

Tellurides are def nice!
Same system on my 2022 hyundai elantra, same song and everything 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Yeah I think HDA is on must be Hyundai and Kia vehicles.
are these safety features (Lane Keep Assist and Lane Follow Assist ) available on the light trim?
Yep! They are a part of the highway driving assist which is standard on all trims.
Would love to see a demo with some significant curves and off-interstate.
I can do that I will say if it does pretty well with clear lines on both sides.
@@TechnicallyJeff Awesome to hear. Look forward to seeing it. I realize it’s not to the level of autopilot, but no one has yet done a demo video of a fair comparison between the two.
@@HamMack600 yeah i'll do that soon.
On my kia 2019 with the lane assistance I kept it at 65 mph on a curve and the car took over the wheel for about 30 seconds
@@bertoabarzua5372 oh nice!

30 or 3 seconds? For me I think it's 3 seconds then I need to manually resume the adaptive cruise.
@@TechnicallyJeff 30😂

You can add homelink for around $200. Hearing steering wheel only comes with the awd apparently.
Its Strange how much the versions differ from country to country.

280 vs 310? So you are getting 90% of the range spec. Tesla is even worse than that.

@@strangerland9791 I've considered getting the kia homelink mirror and swapping it.
What model do you have? Wonder if this assist is available in the Wind!
I have the Wind with the Tech Package

I feel like it stays on after turning the car off. Let me verify though.
@@TechnicallyJeff Not sure if my terms are correct. The only icon that is staying on for me is the one with the car and lanes. The steering wheel icon I have to turn on every time it seems.
Yep that's the right terminology. Hmm let me see.

FSD on Tesla is *years* *late* and still not working as promised. So don't be too impressed with Elon Musk's hype and bs.
@@DerekDavis213 yeah it is late and not working perfectly, but it's pretty good if you acknowledge it's faults.

Does the kia automatically adjust the speed based on car speed in front?
Would be great if there was a Hack that allowed you to turn it off completely for long journeys
Turn off the limitation?
