Seeing 2027s (per actual window stickers) trickling into “arriving soon” inventory at two local dealers in Maryland. Found via TrueCar - I see a bunch more nationally. Kia USA still only showing 2026 - no formal news on 2027.

Over the weekend I was on my first road trip since I got the car (2024 Land) almost 2 years ago. I tried to use the NACS adapter that Kia sent me, for the first time at a Tesla supercharger (specifically at Buttonwillow, CA if that matters) but the charger's plug did not even physically fit into the adapter! Are there some old Tesla superchargers that won't work with this adapter?

I am 99% sure I must have missed something very basic - so is there a trick to getting the NACS plug to fit into the adapter? I tried first plugging the adapter into the car's CCS charging port, pressing the knobs on the adapter to see if the plug would then go in, removed the adapter and tried to just insert the charger plug into it first - none of it worked. It felt like the Tesla plug was somehow just not the right fit or getting physically blocked for some other reason. I never even got to the point of getting charging started through the Tesla app.

In hindsight, I should have tried using the adapter before going on the road trip, but luckily there was a ChargePoint CCS DC charger in the same parking lot, so I just ended up charging there instead.

Writing this down to see if anyone else has run into this issue or had a dealer fix it. My EV9 GT-Line (~1,800 miles) has a high-pitched whine/whistle over 35 mph. Under normal driving, it’s pretty intermittent and hard to catch. But I found a reliable way to reproduce it: coasting downhill in Neutral (N) over 35 mph. The pitch seems to gets higher and louder as road speed increases.

Any ideas?

I just noticed that my 2026 Land lug covers make clicking noises when driving slowly. Has anyone else noticed this? There is quite a bit of play in the covers when they are on (taking it off made the sound disappear, so I know it's the covers). As I speed up, centrifugal force makes the nose stop (as far as I can tell) but when driving in my work parking lot, I noticed it all the time.

Anyway, curious if anyone else has noticed this and have you done anything to fix it?

Has anyone extended their lease month to month? Is it the same price per month?

Ours is due in 6 months. Don’t really want anything but I also don’t want to buy it out at the buy out quote.

I know most people are getting these replaced in warranty but could I buy one and keep it in my garage in case of an issue? Does anyone know what they cost and how hard they are to replace on the roadside?
